Research on post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction implementation: A case study of housing reconstruction of Dujiangyan City

This paper is a systematic study on the reconstruction planning and policy implementation of the Wenchuan earthquake. It mainly summarizes the whole process of reconstruction from the perspective of post-disaster housing reconstruction.

From both macro and micro scales, it carries out an in-depth analysis of the emergency response and reconstruction mechanisms adopted by the central and local governments after the earthquake occurred. The content mainly includes housing disaster assessment, housing reconstruction process management, and housing reconstruction particular policies, which are the key factors affecting post-disaster reconstruction benefits. To better explain the great success of the Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction policy for housing reconstruction, this paper conducts a detailed investigation of the reconstruction planning, policies, implementation and results of the housing reconstruction in Dujiangyan central city.

The study found that the diversification of the Dujiangyan housing reconstruction development model has mostly met the different needs of the victims. The participation of multiple entities such as the market and social institutions has accelerated the economic recovery of post-disaster reconstruction and promoted the early completion of housing work; The unique system introduced during the reconstruction process not only protected the interests of the victims, but also effectively solved the complex property rights problem in rural areas, achieved the goal of saving land and integrating resources, and replaced a large number of land resources for the government.
