dc.description.abstract |
The Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 had a significant impact upon Christchurch and surrounding areas, causing extensive damage to various infrastructure networks. One network which experienced significant damage was the city’s water infrastructure, which has required substantial investment to repair and rebuild in the years following the earthquakes. The rebuild of Christchurch’s water infrastructure has been examined using the holistic Build Back Better post-disaster rebuilding framework, which was first formally published during the rebuild of communities damaged by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Recently, Build Back Better has received further significant attention due to its inclusion in the United Nations developed Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. This framework includes six principles, represented by Improvement of Structural Design; Land Use Planning; Social Recovery; Economic Recovery; Management of Stakeholders; and Legislation and Regulation. The Build Back Better framework has been used to assess how Christchurch has rebuilt its water infrastructure networks; and test the applicability and suitability of the framework in guiding of communities to rebuild infrastructure networks following natural disasters. To do this, a series of semi structured interviews were completed with senior representatives which have contributed in rebuilding Christchurch’s water infrastructure. Christchurch’s water infrastructure was assessed to have been rebuilt in an effective and suitable manner, with consistent and relatively high performance across each of the six Build Back Better principles. From the perspective of each principle, the rebuilding of Christchurch’s water infrastructure was assessed as being of performance ranging between “Acceptable” and “Good” performance. Such analysis has led to the modification of various sub-groups and features within some of the six Build Back Better principles, which has led to the proposal of the Modified Build Back Better Framework for Infrastructure. This framework has been specifically established to guide infrastructure rebuilding effort following natural disasters. It is envisaged that both the holistic and modified Build Back Better frameworks can complement each other to create a comprehensive guide which can assist communities rebuilding in a successful manner, which is crucial for the ongoing development and use of Build Back Better. |
