Abstract

This study conducts an investigation on temporary housing in disaster areas and a survey on the condition of containers used as buildings. The construction of temporary housings in disaster areas using containers is proposed as an application solution. With its advantage of combination and splitting, the modularity of containers offers a wide range of implementation possibilities for container housing in disaster areas. Specific housing needs of various types of victims can be easily satisfied through the different organizations of various units.
