The Impact of Housing Losses in the Northridge Earthquake: Recovery and Reconstruction Issues

9416482 Comerio这个项目是作为国家减少地震灾害计划调查1994年1月17日地震的原因和影响的一部分得到资助的。 洛杉矶的北岭地震影响了数千栋建筑物的住房单元。 这些单位大多数是公寓。 这项研究将评估损失单位的数量和类型、业主修复或更换受影响单位的能力以及流离失所租户寻找短期和长期住房替代品的能力。 为了评估房屋损失，研究人员将分析洛杉矶市收集的受损建筑物数据。 为了了解对建筑业主的影响，研究人员将评估事件发生一年后维修或更换的单位数量。 为了了解对租户的影响，研究人员将分析流离失所租户的短期和长期住房供应情况。 ***

9416482 Comerio This project is being funded as part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program's investigation into the causes and effects of the January 17, 1994 earthquake. The Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles affected housing units in thousands of buildings. The majority of these units were in apartments. This research will assess the number and type of units lost, the ability of owners to repair or replace affected units, and the ability of the displaced tenants to find short and long term housing alternatives. To assess housing losses the researchers will analyze data on damaged buildings assembled by the City of Los Angeles. To understand the impact on building owners, the researchers will assess the number of units repaired or replaced one year after the event. And to understand the impact on tenants, the researchers will analyze the short and long term housing availability for displaced tenants. ***
