Abstract:
Disaster, whether natural or human-made or hybrid are leaving indelible marks on humankind more often than what was experienced in the past and losses of both physical and financial possessions from these disasters, is extremely on the high side. Each time it occurs, it devastates the built environment and claims people live in significant numbers, leaving the victims in the affected locations in psychological trauma. Hence, the dire need for reconstruction surfaced and leaving room for an opportunity to build back better. This review paper focuses on the meaning, classification and benefits of Stakeholders of PDHR with emphasis on community involvement. As stakeholders’ contributions to disaster recovery projects with a focus on three qualities, namely; power, legitimacy and urgency have fundamental outcomes on the objectives of PDHR projects. The paper believes that, for a successful project where targeted objectives in pertinent with cost, time, performance, quality and satisfaction are to be obtained, adequate representation of stakeholders (affected communities or beneficiaries) is non-negotiable as this will offer more resilient communities better than the disaster met them. It recommends current research should concentrate more on community participation practices; in its true letter in spirit, and their impacts, as this will break forth light in the nearest future thereby encouraging sustainability of post-disaster recovery projects where all stakeholders will have value for their contributions of knowledge and resources.
