Risk Assessment on Community-Based Post-Disaster Housing Reconstruction Project

Risk management method has been acknowledged to be an important factor to
achieve the project objectives in the construction industry. However, its
implementation on community-based post-disaster housing reconstruction is hardly
found. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to assess high risk events that
affect time completion of community-based post-disaster housing reconstruction
project (CPHRP). Three most recent and most severe areas affected by earthquake
and tsunami in Indonesia were chosen as case study locations: Aceh (2004),
Yogyakarta (2006) and West Sumatra (2009). Questionnaire survey was selected as
data collection method and emailed to respondents to assess the probability of
occurrence of particular event and its impact on time completion. The response rate
was considered as very satisfactory (79%) with sixty five questionnaires were
categorized as valid. Result shows that twenty events can be categorised as high risk
and are mostly originated from government.
