“…Several key themes stand out in this examination of the divergent trajectories of postearthquake recovery and development in Summit Village: the effects of concentrated settlement, the importance of housing, experiences of development, and the exacerbation of existing inequality and the production of new inequality. First, in contrast to H. Liu et al (2017), we found that satisfaction with post-earthquake reconstruction was lower, not higher, in concentrated settlements as compared to in-situ self-reconstruction. Notably, our study was of similar households within one village, in contrast to their study which compared demographically similar households across two large counties that adopted different re-housing strategies (Beichuan, with concentrated settlement, and Wenchuan, with in-situ reconstruction).…”

“…They found greater overall satisfaction in Beichuan, which adopted concentrated settlements, despite the fact that in-situ construction had higher satisfaction ratings for twelve subjective indicators, including income, family harmony, and health of families, as compared to concentrated settlement, which did better on only nine indicators (H. Liu et al 2017). Peng (2015) finds that concentrated settlement works best in suburban areas where nonfarming income is easily available, conditions that do not hold in a mountain village where farmbased tourism is the primary source of income.…”

“…Finally, our approach differs from much of the disaster management literature that adopts a technocratic and apolitical framework, which precludes a consideration of the politics of local governance (e.g. Liu, Zhang, Wei, & Guo 2017;Park & Wang, 2017). Our in-depth, qualitative case study reveals the nuanced processes through which actual, on-the-ground implementation and experiences of recovery and development occur.…”

“…Bates et al established a measurement framework for hazard impacts and recovery [9,10]. In terms of infrastructure, Liu et al analyzed and compared two modes of postearthquake reconstruction: in situ reconstruction and reallocated reconstruction [11]. Polese et al used a logistic regression to find demolition probability and evaluate building reparability after damaging earthquakes [12].…”

The Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred on May 12, 2008, caused a large number of casualties and substantial property losses. Postearthquake reconstruction is a complex and systematic project, the core of which is to enable the residents of the earthquake-stricken areas to resume normal productivity and life as soon as possible. This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of postearthquake reconstruction in extremely earthquake-stricken areas. From the perspective of the inputs and outputs, the DEA-Malmquist index was used to construct a reconstruction efficiency evaluation model for the extremely stricken areas. Reconstruction efficiencies are analyzed for 10 areas that were severely impacted by the Wenchuan earthquake. Finally, three major disaster-pregnancy environmental factors, namely, including topography, fault zones, and river systems, are selected. Based on the temporal trend of reconstruction efficiency, the degree of correlation between the postearthquake reconstruction efficiency fluctuation and the three major disaster-pregnancy environmental factors is analyzed. The study results show that the overall reconstruction efficiency of the 10 extremely earthquake-stricken areas was relatively high. In 2011, the reconstruction efficiency basically returned the areas to preearthquake levels, and there was a small fluctuation in efficiency due to the effects of earthquake-induced hazards and the reduction of external forces. Spatially, the reconstruction efficiencies of the 10 extremely stricken areas do not show a “convergence effect,” and the reconstruction efficiencies were closely related to the characteristics of the resources in the extremely stricken areas. In terms of the main disaster-pregnancy environment, the terrain complexity is most closely related to fluctuation of reconstruction efficiency, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9975, followed by river network density and the lowest fault density. Therefore, to improve the reconstruction efficiency of the extremely earthquake-stricken areas, the adjustment measures that promote local advantages should be fully utilized to mitigate the lasting effects of earthquake-induced hazards.

“…Over this period, 41 severely damaged counties and county-level cities in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces have exceeded their economic, social, ecological, and cultural status from before the earthquake hit (Xinhua News Agency 2018). The Wenchuan Earthquake offers an illuminating case study for better understanding the dynamic nature of post-disaster recovery (Guo and Kapucu 2015;Liu et al 2017). For a long time, the centralized Chinese administrative system has been particularly active in assisting in local disaster recovery.…”

Research on transformation from “paired assistance” to “collaborative networks” in post-disaster recovery of 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, China

Long-term outcomes and collaborative governance are particularly worthy of discussion when examining the recovery process from natural disasters. In the long and dynamic processes of recovery, how do the primary participants responsible for recovery adapt and change to meet social and economic objectives? This paper argues that the approach to recovery following the Wenchuan Earthquake in China experienced a transformation from paired assistance under centralized political mobilization to collaborative networks. Based on an in-depth case study of the Shanghai-Dujiangyan Paired Assistance Policy, we find that recovery from the Wenchuan Earthquake can be demarcated and described in terms of three stages involving government-oriented project aid, contract-oriented industrial redevelopment, and network-oriented collaborative governance. Four determinants contributed to these transformation processes: (1) The central government was promoted as the responsible entity for guiding recovery efforts from the catastrophe, and the effective political mobilization under the Paired Assistance Policy (PAP) and interactions between subnational assisting governments ensured the timeliness, diversity, and quality of aid projects; (2) industry recovery policies provided the policy environment for enterprises to participate in industrial recovery, and beneficial reciprocity became the key attraction for outside private enterprises to participate in the industrial recovery of Dujiangyan; (3) the participation of social organizations as emergent organizations in the recovery contributed to the formation of collaborative networks; and (4) the trust, friendship, and mutually beneficial relationships that were developed over the 3-year term of the PAP provided a strong foundation for the formation of collaborative networks, which were essential to facilitating longer term recovery.
