Purpose: Housing collapses due to an earthquake create the need for temporary housing areas until the delivery of
permanent housing. Within these temporary living areas, ideal living conditions for users should be met, focusing on
the biological-physiological and social-psychological requirements and cultural and local context. This study provides
a perspective on the criteria that shape the design process of post-earthquake temporary housing.
Study design/methodology/approach: In order to determine the criteria for decision-making in the post-earthquake
temporary housing design process, the content analysis method was used through a literature review.
Findings: The criteria for the post-earthquake temporary housing design were set forth under two categories: The data
to be obtained before the design process and the criteria to be considered during the design process. Within this
perspective, the primary data sets were defined as local climatic conditions, site features, cultural and local factors,
minimum living conditions specific to local characteristics, user requirements, and building materials and components.
On the other hand, the design criteria to be followed during the design process were designated based on the site plan,
spatial organization, structural system, and building element systems designs, along with construction technique
selection.
Originality/value: The proposed criteria set provides a holistic perspective on post-earthquake temporary housing
design since it comprehends the pre-design and design processes and focuses particularly on the locality and cultural
characteristics related to living conditions.
