PACKABILITY EVALUATION OF CAREDS DISASTER EVACUATION SHELTER PROTOTYPE DESIGN

Abstract

Abstract - The follow-up study “Evaluation of CAREDs SEB18,017 Disaster Evacuation Shelter Prototype
Design Based on Constructability Trials” is a SEB18,017 design development research that uses a pop-up
concept to the construction feasibility stage. The development that has been carried out uses a 1:2 scale
mockup so that there are still details that need to be developed to a 1:1 scale. The problems that arise are
related to the structural connection system and material selection. In addition, the design development has not
been tested in terms of adaptability regarding packability and fabricated material systems.
Emergency shelter is a temporary shelter for handling post-natural disasters. Emergency shelter is important to
be prepared and provided for victims who need a place to stay after their homes are damaged due to natural
disasters that occured. Emergency shelter design must be able to provide a safe, healthy and private
environment for disaster victims. In addition, the design of emergency shelters must also be able to be easily
prepared by users in a fairly short amount of time, have an easy yet ef ective packaging, and ef icient mobility
to places where disasters occur.
