  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: January, 2019 Country Name Project for Capacity Development on Mental Health Services for Reconstruction Support of People's Republic of China Sichuan Earthquake I. Project Outline In the disaster-affected area hit by the Sichuan Earthquake on May 12, 2008, reconstruction works were steadily being implemented with focus on infrastructure development. Programs on mental health and psychosocial support for those affected were also started right after the Earthquake by various governmental agencies and other organizations in and out of China. However, it was said that the average incidence rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the quake-affected area was estimated as more than 10% (at the time of ex-ante evaluation) and cases of secondary damage including suicide were continuously reported. This indicated that there had still been Background urgent needs of the metal health and psychological support. What still remained as challenges were: how to cope with the lack of mental health care workers, how to ensure the quality of care program, how to secure the sustainability of care provision system, and what to do with the lack of comprehensive coordination and management. It was confirmed that these challenges were aggravated over the time. It was also pointed out that the self-care of mental health care workers should be given full consideration as it was often the case that they themselves were the disaster victims. In the disaster-affected area hit by the Sichuan Earthquake (Sichuan Province, Gansu Province, and Shaanxi Province), the project aims to establish the appropriate and sustainable community-based psychosocial support system(1) through human resource development of mental health care workers in multi-sectoral areas (education, psychology, social work and medicine) as well as strengthening of collaboration and cooperation among sectors with focus on affected people, thereby having the concept of established support system well accepted in those project areas.

  • Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Rural Reconstruction and Recovery in Sichuan China
    POST-WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE RURAL RECONSTRUCTION AND RECOVERY IN SICHUAN CHINA: MEMORY, CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION by Haorui Wu B.Eng., Sichuan University, 2006 M.Eng., Sichuan University, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2014 ©Haorui Wu, 2014 Abstract On May 12, 2008, an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.9 struck Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China, which affected 45.5 million people, causing over 15 million people to be evacuated from their homes and leaving more than five million homeless. From an interdisciplinary lens, interrogating the many interrelated elements of recovery, this dissertation examines the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction and recovery. It explores questions about sense of home, civic participation and reconstruction primarily based on the phenomenon of the survivors of the Wenchuan Earthquake losing their sense of home after their post-disaster relocation and reconstruction. The following three aspects of the reconstruction are examined: 1) the influence of local residents’ previous memories of their original hometown on their relocation and the reconstruction of their social worlds and lives, 2) the civic participation that took place throughout the post-disaster reconstruction, 3) the government interventions overseeing and facilitating the entire post-disaster reconstruction. Based on fieldwork, archival and document research, memory workshops and walk-along interviews, a qualitative study was conducted with the aim of examining the earthquake survivors’ general memories of daily life and specific memories of utilizing space in their original hometown.

  • Seismic Damage of R/C Frame Structures in Ms8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake
    th The 14 World Conference on Earthquake Engineering October 12-17, 2008, Beijing, China Seismic Damage of R/C Frame Structures in Ms8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake 1 2 Junwu DAI and Baitao SUN 1 Professor, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Harbin. China 2 Professor, Deputy Director, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Harbin. China Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: All materials of this paper derive from the author’s 80 days field investigation of the Great Ms8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake. R/C frame building structures have been suffered different kinds and different levels damage in different affected areas of Ms8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake. R/C frame structure is one of the major types of building structure in Sichuan area. All existing R/C frame structures are constructed in 3 stages: before 1990, during 1990 and 2001, and after 2001. These buildings shows different damage patterns in earthquake such as masonry infill wall damage only, beam-end with infill wall damage, column-end with infill wall damage, bottom story damage, mid-story damage even total collapse. It discloses almost all drawbacks of the structural design, construction and management. This paper summarizes 5 kinds of damage patterns together with the damage cause analyses of R/C frame structures. Results shows that infill wall contributes much to the seismic capacity of the R/C buildings, the pattern of column-end with infill wall damage usually caused by wrong design concept, the pattern of mid-story damage mostly are caused by the story stiffness change in corresponding story, and so on. The author hopes that this paper can provide some useful information for both of design and construction of future R/C frame buildings during reconstruction of Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake.
