Abstract
This study evaluestes long-term housing recovery in Jamaica following Hurricane Gilbert of 1988. Particular emphasis is placed on the impacts of a large scale housing aid program initiated by international donor agencies and the Jamaican government. Data were obtained through a survey of 240 households in disaster stricken areas, and through in-depth open-ended interviews of key informants. Householders and informants were asked to respond to questions on disaster impacts and recovery strategies used in rebuilding. Implications fromthe Hurricane Gilbert experience about specific administrative techniques and broad institutional design needs for improving housing recovery efforts are then discussed. Finally, a proposed strategy for hesigning planning institutions with a capacity to learn with people, and build new knowledge and institutional capacity through action is presented.
