In this study, effects of bearing capacity of the soil on the foundation and micro climate on the heating requirement of the facility are considered based on the cost, carbon, and energy throughout the construction as well as two, five and fifty years of utilization period. The effects of ground type, outdoor temperature, insulation thickness, and use period of the buildings are determined by considering carbon, energy and cost criteria. Environmental effect of the construction is analyzed by detailed definitions of the construction items which provide necessary data to compute the material requirements and energy consumption. Required energy for the heating of the buildings is computed according to the Turkish Standard 825. Scenario analyzes considering different site locations and insulation thicknesses are implemented to determine the most appropriate disaster recovery housing location to minimize the overall environmental impact. The proposed approach aims to minimize effects by analyzing the cost and environmental effects of the both temporary and permanent buildings. It also determines the most appropriate location of structures to be constructed after the disaster to minimize the overall environmental impact and cost, which provides cleaner disaster management opportunity for the authorities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPost-disaster housingSustainable disaster managementComparative life cycle assessmentGround-climate type effectArticle11110.1016/j.jobe.2025.1133882-s2.0-105010342492Q1WOS:001539172100001Q1
