The concept of Build Back Better has recently been widely used in the design and execution of
post-disaster reconstruction projects. The build back better is the resilient-oriented approach
that aims to enhance the resilience of communities to a level that is even higher than the predisaster term. In contrast to traditional approaches that are based only on the rapid
replacement of damaged structural environments, the build back better approach also enhances
the societal, economic, and environmental wellness of the communities. To achieve this,
community expectations lie at the center of the build back better approach. Accordingly, this
approach dictates that communities' expectations should be identified properly and postdisaster reconstruction projects should be designed and executed in a way that can satisfy these
expectations. Although a plethora of studies related to post-disaster reconstruction projects
were conducted in the literature, the community expectations in these projects are often
neglected. To bridge this gap, this study aims to identify the community expectations in postdisaster reconstruction projects. Initially, an in-depth literature review was conducted to
identify community expectations that are proposed by existing studies. Lastly, a questionnaire
survey, DEMATEL method, and consistency analysis were conducted respectively to identify
the weights of the identified expectations.
