1.INTRODUCTION This research proposes a project management framework for post-disaster housing reconstruction in India, addressing key challenges like resource scarcity, stakeholder coordination, and sustainability. Through case studies of major disasters—Gujarat Earthquake, Indian Ocean Tsunami, Kerala Floods—the study identifies gaps in current practices and integrates community participation, resilient design, and digital tools. The framework aims to streamline reconstruction phases, enhance accountability, and support long-term recovery. Grounded in real-world data and global best practices, it offers a scalable model for effective postdisaster housing in developing contexts.
2.OBJECTIVES 1. 2.
3.
These studies provide a strong foundation for the current research in developing a comprehensive and adaptable postdisaster reconstruction framework.
To analyze the existing project management practices in post-disaster housing reconstruction in India. To identify key challenges and gaps in the current reconstruction processes and to develop a project management framework that integrates effective practices for planning, execution, and monitoring of post-disaster housing projects. To assess the proposed framework through realworld case studies and evaluate its effectiveness in improving reconstruction outcomes.

Davidson et al. (2007) emphasized the roles of government, NGOs, and affected communities in ensuring inclusive reconstruction. Shafique (2016) highlighted the importance of community participation for successful and sustainable rebuilding outcomes. Ghannad et al. (2019) explored the potential of modular construction for faster, cost-effective reconstruction with challenges in quality control. Saleh et al. (2019) reviewed various resourcing approaches and found owner-driven models most effective for long-term success. Bilau et al. (2017) developed a reconstruction management framework stressing coordination and stakeholder integration.
