Critical success factors for community‐based post‐disaster housing reconstruction projects in the pre‐construction stage in Indonesia

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) of community‐based post‐disaster housing reconstruction projects (CPHRP) during the pre‐construction stage.Design/methodology/approachAn extensive literature review and interviews were undertaken to establish selected factors contributing to the success of community‐based post disaster housing reconstruction projects. Following this, a questionnaire survey was administered to key stakeholders in order to perceive their view on CSFs of CPHRP. Data were analysed by deploying statistical software.FindingsIt was found that 12 factors are considered to be the CSFs: transparency and accountability, appropriate reconstruction policy/strategy, an understanding of the community‐based method, gathering trust from the community, facilitator capacity, good coordination and communication, sufficient funding availability, implementer capacity, having a significant level of community participation/control, government support, involvement of all community members, and successful beneficiary identification.Practical implicationsThe establishment of CSFs in CPHRP helps key stakeholders to identify factors that must exist and go well during pre‐construction of CPHRP, in order to ensure the success of the programme.Originality/valueThe paper is very specific as it attempts to discover the CSFs of CPHRP during the pre‐construction stage.

Stakeholders and Their Significance in Post Natural Disaster Reconstruction Projects: A Systematic Review of the Literature

“…10; and societal life (Omidvar, Zafari, & Khakpour, 2011). This process is long term (Johnston, Becker, & Paton, 2012) and involves intense decision making (Guarnacci, 2012), huge resources (Johnston et al, 2012;Tun Lin et al, 2007;Yan, Suzanne, Erica, & Regan, 2010;Yan, Suzanne, Regan, & Erica, 2012) and engagement of stakeholders (Chang et al, 2011;Hayles, 2010;Ophiyandri, Amaratunga, Pathirage, & Keraminiyage, 2013;Vojinovic & van Teeffelen, 2007).…”

“…The secondary stakeholders are not essential but they have influence or are influenced by the project, such as, local community, media and academia (Amaratunga & Haigh, 2011a Chang et al (2011) identified three construction approaches for disaster reconstruction; (i) contractor-driven approach (ii) donor-driven approach (iii) owner-driven approach and mentioned that United Nations Disaster Relief Organization (UNDRO) has recommended community participatory / owner driven approach for reconstruction. Researchers believe that the local community is not a passive recipient (Jigyasu, 2013) and a community based approach involves a high level of community participation in a particular project (Ophiyandri et al, 2013). This approach inculcates a strong sense of ownership among the community (Ganapati & Ganapati, 2009).…”

Communities’ Satisfaction towards Housing Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program after September 30, 2009, Earthquake in West Sumatra

“…This indicator may appear due to more funds spent by the beneficiaries to reconstruct their house than the funds provided by the government. As suggested by Ophiyandri et al [12], the availability of fund is one of the critical success factors of community-based postdisaster housing reconstruction project. In addition, it was worsened by the rise of building material prices.…”
