Abstract
Post-disaster reconstruction plays an important role in disaster management. This activity aims to restore the living conditions of disaster affected communities by building new houses and infrastructures, but reconstruction is also concerned with future pre-disaster mitigation activities. The success of reconstruction will greatly influence the community s capacity toward the next disaster. Recent major natural disasters show great destruction to constructed facilities, and also pose great challenges in reconstruction. Identification of those challenges and factors that lead to a successful reconstruction project will help to direct efforts and formulate strategies for the next reconstruction. Based on a literature review of project critical success factors (CSF) and of reconstruction projects and processes in different countries, this paper investigates and documents challenges and factors that influence the success of reconstruction.

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
