2. Core Dwelling Concept Failures

The first thing is the uniform and standardized forms which are not acceptable many cases. Because, it is also based on the family networks, the family size, the family structures, the individual and collective needs vary, before disaster and after disaster a husband male he has been killed during a tsunami and then the wife and the children will be homeless and livelihood less.

This chunk discusses how standardized housing designs fail to meet the diverse needs of families. It emphasizes that each family has unique needs based on their size, structure, and circumstances. For example, after a disaster like a tsunami, a family might suddenly find themselves without a breadwinner (the husband, in this case), which impacts their housing needs and support systems. A one-size-fits-all approach to housing fails to address these individual circumstances and lacks flexibility in design.

Consider a group of friends who go on a road trip. If they all share one car designed only for one person, it won't work for the whole group. Similarly, families affected by disasters have very different needs based on their new realities, like the loss of a family member, and their new home should accommodate those differences.

The design of the core dwelling aspects were not sufficiently address the religious beliefs and customs. You can see the example of the puja rooms, the religious buildings how they have modified those, including the location of the orientation and how it has an impact on the inhabitants.

This chunk highlights the failure to incorporate religious beliefs and cultural practices into housing design. For instance, many cultures have specific customs for prayer or rituals, such as needing a dedicated puja room for worship. The location and orientation of the home can significantly affect how these practices are conducted, thereby affecting the inhabitants' well-being. Ignoring these aspects can lead to dissatisfaction and a disconnect from cultural roots.

Imagine a family trying to celebrate a holiday in a home that doesn’t have the necessary space or features for their traditions. If they typically gather in a certain way to celebrate, but their new home doesn’t support that, it might feel less like a festive occasion and more like a chore. Their traditions are an essential part of their identity, similar to how housing should reflect and support cultural practices.

The usage of modern materials also had an impact on their thermal comforts and the long-run maintenance. Here, the urban design issues talks about the fronts and backs you know how it is not sufficiently thought by the designers and a sense of privacy.

This chunk addresses how the choice of materials and design influences the comfort and privacy of residents. For instance, materials that are too modern might not provide good insulation or comfort against heat. Additionally, urban design often does not adequately consider how the layout of homes impacts privacy and interaction among neighbors. This oversight can lead to discomfort and a lack of personal space.

Think about wearing a jacket made of a material that is too thin for winter. You would feel cold and uncomfortable, affecting your daily activities. Similarly, if a house is built with inappropriate materials or poorly thought-out designs, the people living there can feel uncomfortable both physically and socially, making their living experience less enjoyable.

These pre and post-disaster approaches they vary from place to place, culture to culture based on the cultural setup. In church, they set up it acts differently in a government base setup it acts differently, in an NGO base setup it acts differently.

This chunk examines the challenges in addressing cultural needs in housing design. Post-disaster recovery efforts differ vastly depending on local cultures and governance structures (church, government, NGO sectors). Each of these entities approaches community needs differently, making it complicated to create a uniform solution that respects and includes diverse cultural practices.

Consider how different schools handle emergencies like snow days. Some may cancel classes, while others might shift to online learning. Each response reflects their unique context and values. Similarly, housing programs must consider local cultural contexts to effectively meet the needs of families, rather than applying a one-size approach.

Inability to access local knowledge because this is one perception to development they think that the foreign agencies whoever comes within that these people doesn’t know anything one has to understand that they know many things one need to tap that resources.

This chunk stresses the importance of local knowledge in development efforts. Often, external agencies underestimate the knowledge and resources available within local communities, believing that residents lack understanding. This perception can hinder effective cooperation and result in missed opportunities to utilize local expertise in planning and development.

Think of a class project where a new student arrives and assumes they know better than the classmates about local issues. The classmates, who understand their community well, might have solutions the newcomer overlooks. Similarly, developers should recognize and harness the wealth of knowledge local residents possess, as they are often the most familiar with their own needs.
