“…It should be noted that the qualitative analysis of interviews is complimentary to other methods that assess decision-making processes. For instance, to obtain a more representative distribution of stakeholders, data could be gathered using surveys (e.g., [53,54]), social media (e.g., [55]), or workshops (e.g., [54]). Complimentary methods used to assess decision-making procedures include Analytic Hierarchy Process [56] and participatory mapping [54].…”

Sudden population influxes into cities—such as those seen during post-disaster migration—place unexpected demands on the urban housing system. Decisions made during these influxes are often controversial, potentially hindering the ability of the organizations involved to respond. This study’s objective was to explore strategies (e.g., types of information shared and types of accommodation chosen) that can be used during decision-making processes when providing emergency accommodations to increase stakeholder acceptance, and thus lead to sustainable institutional responses. This study specifically sought to shed light on how, during the Refugee Crisis in Germany of 2015 and 2016, stakeholders legitimized decisions made to provide centralized emergency accommodations to displaced persons. Making this study possible were 25 semi-structured interviews with utility, government, nonprofit, and company employees involved in the provision of centralized accommodations for displaced persons. Interviews were conducted in 2016 and underwent a qualitative analysis. Results indicate that stakeholders primarily legitimized the provision of centralized accommodations based on convictions of right and wrong (moral legitimacy), while they legitimized decisions to not provide such accommodations based on their understanding and experience of practical barriers (cultural-cognitive legitimacy). Recommendations arising from this study include the following: provide information to stakeholders about accommodations’ livability (to gain consequential legitimacy) and past successes (to gain comprehensibility legitimacy), adapt regulations to help stakeholders use procedural legitimacy, and prefer fully renovated buildings or modular housing to buildings with no major renovations or container housing (to gain consequential rather than procedural legitimacy).

“…Overall aesthetic judgments of the built environment involve cognitive evaluation of building attributes, emotional reactions, and affective appraisal in terms of the connotative meanings particular building attributes express (Stamps 2000;Araya, Faust, and Kaminsky 2019). This notion is supported by Hershberger and Cass (1974) who argues that it is the forms, colours, and spatial configuration of the built environment that may influence overall aesthetic response.…”

This article investigates the differences in aesthetic preferences on external facades on nonarchitects. A combination of a card sorting technique, a semi-structured interview, and a Mind sketching technique is employed. Data analysis was carried out using the qualitative techniques of content analysis. Findings reveal that non-architects were able to identify what they like and dislike regarding their preferences on façade designs. It reveals that among the conceptual properties, Originality Meaningfulness, Clarity, Simplicity were the most used properties by nonarchitects. However, non-architects' aesthetic preferences and their suggestions for change to the given facades were found to be inconsistent. It can be concluded that involving potential users in the architectural process must be assisted by a design professional.

“…These were people fleeing from a range of threats: natural hazards, war, persecution, social unrest, and the recent worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The rise in the frequency and severity of disasters [2,3] is simultaneous with an increase in hostilities; 2020 witnessed the highest number of conflicts than at any other time since the end of the Second World War. This has led to the number of displaced persons growing over the last decade, with worrying predictions that it will increase further [1].…”

Rebuilding after Displacement: A Skills Competency Audit of Built Environment Professional Documentation

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The displacement of people, caused by disasters, conflicts, and oppression, is a growing global problem, placing significant burdens on both the displaced and their hosts. The built environment is key to providing essential support and a sustainable future for these communities. This paper describes an audit of the competencies identified in built environment professional documentation and its mapping against the competencies determined as being relevant to rebuilding after displacement. Following a step-by-step methodology, an analysis of the built environment sector of four nations enables the identification of the current state of professional competencies through an in-depth review of their published standards. These results are compared with a framework of standards that would maximise the potential of the sector in offering support. It is also identified where there is alignment between existing and ideal competencies, and where there are gaps in provision. Finally, a criticality analysis offers both sector-wide and professional role review. This could help direct the efforts of policy makers, education providers, and the sector itself towards the most effective responses to displacement challenges.
