Community Participation, Consultation and Communication

Abstract

This chapter discusses the key findings from the four case studies mentioned in the last chapter in terms of the first theme of this book, Community Participation, Consultation and Communication, in three main sections. The first section is the examination of the consultation and communication forms that emerged from the process of post-disaster housing reconstruction at the case-study sites (Fig. 5.1). The second section is the identification of key stakeholders whose consultative inputs are significant to promoting disaster-resilient housing. The third section focuses on a broader view to examine the need for supportive mechanisms to enable interactive discussions and shared learning dialogues between stakeholders involved in the design, procurement, and construction of local housing.
