Earthquake survivors face many problems that affect the return to normalcy, including disruptions in temporary and permanent housing To Improve the earthquake survivors' social-psychological status, it is imperative to shorten the transition from temporary to permanent housing. For the transition to be as brief as possible, planning, design, and construction of permanent housing need to be carried out seamlessly
