Abstract
In the aftermath of a natural disaster, post-disaster management (PDM) stakeholders tackle both the planning for and delivery of the subsequent recovery phase to reinstate permanent, safe and sustainable livelihoods to affected communities. Such complex scenarios demand particular capabilities from a range of knowledge fields. Access to all types of required expertise can be difficult to arrange, and as such PDM practitioners face many ‘gaps’ that limit their efficacy in practices. This is often the case where specialised design expertise is required. Two aspects that arise when PDM skills are examined from an industrial design (ID) perspective are (a) the need to take a more holistic and human-centred design approach to augment the focus on civil infrastructure or urban scale and (b) the role of designedly systems and participatory approaches to assist in leveraging affected communities in the re-establishment of materially and technologically mediated daily activities. By framing various ID disciplinary methods inside the PDM practice, this paper explores the opportunities for a greater inclusion such methods in the development of a novel master’s course.
