“…11 In addition to involving the displaced population, essential services, especially health care services, should be integrated whenever possible into the existing services and policies of the host population (Cromwell 1988). Offering assistance to both displaced and host populations in the immediate area of settlement is a cardinal principle of humanitarian practice, but one that is frequently ignored for a variety of reasons (Wilson 1992).…”

“…Generally, African refugees receive only a cereal and infrequent supplies of pulses and a fat source. Other items such as dried fish, salt, and sugar are more rarely provided [21]. Thus, refugees spend time and effort seeking to diversify their diet, especially for greens, animal products, and condiments to accompany the starchy staple.…”

Emergencies are not only sudden events with natural causes that can be ameliorated with resources from outside. The causes and consequences of emergencies with sudden or slow onset, those that are complex and involve conflict, or are permanent emergencies are all deeply rooted in the vulnerability of people to hazards and their incapacity to recover. This will have implications for care behaviours and practices in the feeding, health, hygiene, and psychosocial areas. Families react to slowonset emergencies by managing a declining resource with inevitable negative impacts on child care. Food intake declines. At the extreme of destitution, families may migrate to refugee camps where children face health crises as large displaced populations congregate around contaminated water sources. Breastfeeding may cease. In war situations, children face extreme psychosocial stresses. The importance of care for young children is given insufficient attention by those providing assistance from outside. Care interventions should improve the effectiveness of health, food, and psychosocial support

“…Another study by Wilson examined the food supply in refugee camps. The allocation and physical location for food production and distribution show the role of architecture in designing refugee camps [7]. Werker examined the economy of camps.…”

Every year, a large number of the Earth inhabitants have to leave their homeland due to violence and discrimination so that there are now over 60 million displaced people worldwide. Almost 20 million of them are refugees. In this circumstance, refugee camps, considered a common settling way, not only have a great effect on the current lives of refugees, but also influence their future lives because of the long-term presence of refugees in such an environment. The purpose of this study is to review the refugee camps from economic, social, physical, managerial, and environmental perspectives. In the next step, the rational basis of refugee camps as a city is explained by examining city, its features, and its dimensions and comparison with refugee camps. Afterward, diverse criteria are developed to improve the quality of life in various social, environmental and physical dimensions using the livability approach. These criteria are the basis of redesigning Saveh Camp, Iran as a livable city. Finally, a livable city-based design is proposed for the case study.
