Regions affected by conflict and violence become difficult locations for undertaking routine management and rebuilding. However conditions often arise where input from various stakeholders for relief, rehabilitation and institutional re-vamping become unavoidable. Research and experiences from different contexts inform that outcomes of such interventions have varied results due to unpredictability of contextual conditions, approaches and methodologies adopted for planning and implementations, capacity of personnel involved, available resources and interests of concerned institutions. Awaran district in Balochistan has been impacted by conflict and violence for many years. The impoverished region, apart from social and political turbulence, is recovering from a devastating earthquake that struck the district in September 2013. This paper examines two development interventions in the region; one undertaken by the district administration to streamline the development work through a state sponsored housing reconstruction project and the other by Urban Resource Centre (URC) in collaboration with local communities. Field research for this paper was done during 2014-2015 and comprised review of records, informal discussions with government staff, military officers, community members and working staff of NGOs in the area. After analysing the key findings of these two initiatives, it was found that government sponsored housing reconstruction projects experienced limited success due to usual bureaucratic hurdles and political uncertainties. The community led initiatives were more effective, simple and easy to apply.

Post Disaster

Housing reconstruction cases without cultural sensitivity had resulted in rejection. These raise challenges to understand the importance of cultural background and how it affects residents’ lifestyles. This study investigated self-built and donated housing through on- field research with questionnaires, interviews, and field observations. Items related to dwelling usage, behaviour adjustments, evaluation and community activities participation were obtained. Results suggest that residents adjust their physical behavioural aspects to maintain previous social behaviour lifestyles, though evaluations indicate dissatisfaction with the unchangeable donated housing design. Social interactions importance, flexibility and open-ended design in housing are advantageous for their post-disaster recovery.

The Impact

This chapter focuses on the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, and the impact on CIA. The agency received intense criticism from Congress in the final form of the 9/11 Commission Report, and had to adapt. But it also needed to move extremely quickly in the aftermath of the attacks, working alone and with allies, old and new. Having failed to prevent the attacks, the CIA was the tip of the spear in the US’s retaliation.

Before And After

In the article the problems of the modernization (renovation) of dwelling-houses are discussed according juridical, social, ecological, technical-technological and economical aspects. When the decision to renovate the dwelling-house is made, first the juridical problems have to be solved. These problems involve planning of investment project, social problems of individual flat dwellers and the infringement of their rights. In many cases the modernization of dwelling-house is suspended because of the improper solution of juridical and social questions. Other renovation problems are: unqualified house energy audit making, technically unsound heating insulation and architecture of house facade decisions, and final approximation all decisions. The house energy audit is performed before modernization, the theoretical heat transfer coefficient and resistance of external walls are calculated and heat transfer coefficient according the standard STR 2.05.01:2013 “Design of the Energy Performance of Buildings” is noted. Designing a technical project for the multi-apartment house modernization, it is necessary to make a precise evaluation of heat loss before and after the modernization, to calculate the modernization workload and the expected decrease of heat consumption. Performing the modernization works constant and qualified supervision must be performed. Actually home-owners do not have any economic benefit because of the rising heat selling prices. But after the modernization the living conditions are improved, heat energy is saved state-wide, and environmental pollution is reduced.
