"Typhoon Morakot left enormous impacts on central and southern parts of Taiwan in 2009. After the emergency, governments collaborated with charity organizations to assist impacted households by providing free-permanent housing, enabling households can relocate to safer locations and speeding up recovery. However, the effectiveness of free-permanent housing policy is still under evaluation. This study applies the panel data collected by National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015. Panel data regression models are applied to evaluate the free-permanent housing policy after Typhoon Morakot. Analytical results reveal that the free-permanent housing policy accelerated housing recovery progress in the short term. However, free-permanent housing had suffered quality degradation six years later. The damage level had no significant impact on the housing recovery trajectory. Analytical results also demonstrate that free-permanent housing policy eliminates pre-disaster inequality after the event. In contrast, income had a significant influence on housing recovery for households without free-permanent housing. Finally, free-permanent housing built by Red-Cross had higher housing quality than that built by Tzuchi or World Vision." |
