Developing A Research Framework For The Efficient And Scalable Delivery Of Temporary Quarters While Accounting For Common-Good Economic Factors

Abstract

Temporary quarters (TQ) are structured, time-bound arrangements enabling rapid and legitimate crisis response. Beyond shelter, they support social acceptance, transparency, and transitions toward stable long-term conditions. Displacement, climate pressure and infrastructure disruption require tools that connect speed, participation and accountability. The framework integrates social cost–benefit analysis, social return metrics and multi-criteria evaluation, highlighting digital twins, design-for-disassembly and nature-based protection. The Thailand 2004 case illustrates how combined technical, institutional and ecological measures enhance welfare, equity and resilience while keeping governance transparent.
