Typology of post-disaster relief houses in Palu and Sigi, Central Sulawesi

Abstract

It has been five years since the earthquake disaster followed with tsunami, liquification, and landslide in 2028 in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. There are several varieties of house designs due to different type of disasters, locations, and donors. This study objective is to collect the house designs and evaluate it through typology analysis. Qualitative approached was conducted by field observation to redraw the house and taking pictures for analysis. Total five types of relief houses observed from all the different types of disaster. Most of them are grounded with 36m2 size except one stilt house size is 72m2. The house including two bedrooms and one bathroom but no kitchen. As part of the government innovation of earthquake resistant house named “RISHA”, it is compulsory to use it if the reconstruction source was government fund. From five houses sample, three of them used RISHA while the rest are RIKO and the other one is using conwood panel wall. The main problem found in this house is sustainability issue. As most of the relief house cannot extend using the same structure and materials. Designed for one story only, it is challenging for them to add space with limited land.
