QSAND(Quantifying Sustainability in the Aftermath of Natural Disasters) - Chinese version

Quantifying Sustainability in the Aftermath of Natural Disasters (QSAND) is a self-assessment tool to assess and promote sustainability in post-disaster relief, recovery, and reconstruction. The tool is organized into different categories within which issues relating to the reconstruction of a sustainable built environment are assessed, including (but not limited to) shelter and community, materials and waste, and resettlement.

In 2021, our fund introduced this framework for domestic use by collaborating with domestic institutions on translation and review work of the assessment materials. In August 2022, the translated version was successfully completed and released. It is now accessible for interested parties and public to download and use.
