Adamy, A and Abu Bakar, A H (2021) Developing a building-performance evaluation framework for post-disaster reconstruction: The case of hospital buildings in Aceh, Indonesia. International Journal of Construction Management, 21(1), pp. 56-77. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Developing countries have faced many problems regarding humanitarian reconstructed buildings, especially during occupancy when most donors have left. Hospitals are some of the most important buildings in the disaster-management cycle. Previous studies have shown that there is no specific tool for evaluating post-disaster hospital-building performance. This study aims to test the validity and reliability of a proposed framework of building-performance evaluation (BPE) in a disaster context for public hospitals based on partial least squares (PLS) analysis. The researcher distributed 405 questionnaires to building users in four rebuilt public hospitals in Aceh, Indonesia. The results showed that the hierarchical construct model (HCM) with reflective-reflective relationships and third-order framework comprises 16 criteria; 72 items were valid and reliable, and all path coefficients were considered highly significant. These results reflect the degree of explained variance of third-order in its second-order components: built environment and building user (89%), building system (93%), and disaster-risk management/DRM (85%). DRM as the new variable added to the BPE conceptual model for a post-disaster reconstruction (PDR) context is justified. The confirmed framework can be used to evaluate post-disaster hospital performance in the future. The BPE framework should also be tested in other types of post-disaster hospitals.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
