Abstract

Annual increases in global displacements due to conflict and natural hazards have intensified the need for durable humanitarian shelter solutions. Despite growing conceptual clarity over the ‘durable solution’ concept, a distinct lack of research exists to ascertain the combinations of conditions that lead to these outcomes. This research investigates the conditions supporting shelter durable solutions across 229 global case studies, employing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). Three pathways emerged from the analysis centred around the following mechanisms: co-produced systems – emphasising joint agency and community-driven efforts for long-term recovery in diverse contexts; community-led incremental building – enabling durable solutions in conflict settings through local skills and incremental stabilisation; and recovery alliances, emphasising smaller, well-coordinated responses in natural hazard contexts to facilitate targeted, sustainable solutions. This study provides practical guidance for implementing agencies through these approaches, exhibiting how coordinated, locally driven, and financially adaptable efforts can successfully facilitate durable solutions.

通往人道主义住房持久解决方案之路：全球项目比较分析

由于冲突和自然灾害造成的全球流离失所人数每年都在增加，因此更加需要持久的人道主义住房解决办法。尽管“持久解决方案”的概念越来越清晰，但明显缺乏研究来确定导致这些结果的条件组合。本研究采用模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）对全球229个案例研究中支持住房持久解决方案的条件进行了调查。从分析中得出了围绕以下机制的三条途径：共同生产系统-强调在不同情况下联合机构和社区驱动的长期恢复努力；社区主导的渐进式建设——通过当地技能和渐进式稳定，在冲突环境中实现持久的解决方案；以及恢复联盟，强调在自然灾害背景下规模较小、协调良好的应对措施，以促进有针对性的、可持续的解决方案。这项研究通过这些方法为执行机构提供了实际指导，展示了协调、地方驱动和财政适应的努力如何能够成功地促进持久的解决办法。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
