The research is centered on assessing materials that are resilient to seismic activity, enhancing the interior layout for both functionality and comfort, as well as investigating the construction techniques employed in creating the shelters. The process includes studying current prefabricated shelter designs by utilizing modeling, literature reviews, and case studies to pinpoint effective strategies and potential enhancements, specifically concentrating on shelters intended for prompt response following an earthquake, emphasizing quick assembly and safety as primary objectives. This study primarily delves into seismic performance, paying minimal attention to other natural hazards, and relies on accessible data and resources that could constrain the examination of specific materials and techniques. The outcomes are intended to enhance the planning and implementation of prefabricated shelters, offering useful insights to architects and stakeholders engaged in disaster relief efforts.}, keywords = {Prefabricated shelter, swift earthquake response, quick deployment, temporary housing, earthquake-proof construction technique.}, month = {December}, }
