Assessment of the Architectural- Climatic Quality of Post-Disaster Housing in the Rowshanaq Village of Ardebil Province after the Landslips of 1977

One of the physical form problems in rural settlements, is inappropriate resistance of residential buildings against natural disasters. After the landslips of 1977 in the Rowshanaq village of Ardebil province, its geographical location was moved and post-disaster houses were erected for victims, but those houses were altered vastly. This paper aims to assess the architectural quality of post-disaster houses and their further attachments. In this regard, cross sectional survey-descriptive method will be used for analyses of 8 randomley selected families. The survey has been done by interviewing and answering to the five scales of Likert and the scores have been obtained by the analysis of descriptive statistics. It was revealed that post-disaster houses do not suffice to satisfy all the needs of users. According to the survey, original plans of post-disaster houses scored 108 out of 240 in climatic component quality and got 109 scores out of 320 in architecture quality, so were appraised as weak; however modified plans were appraised as mediocre by getting 136 scores out of 240 in climatic component and 160 scores out of 320 in architecture component quality. The weaknesses can be improved by corrective actions like: consideration of climatic and social requirements in designings, strategic planning and organizational design approach, etc
