dc.description.abstractChile was struck by an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 and tsunami on February 27, 20 I 0. Numerous coastal communities suffered extensive damage, in particular Coliumo, a small fishing village just north of Concepcion, where those living along the coastline lost portions or all of their homes and belongings. Current housing developments are being planned, including a new community of houses to be built on the site of Coliumo's main transitional housing camp, Alto Rari. This new community will house 45 families and amalgamate those living in the Campa Municipalidad as well as those currently in Alto Rari. While most people will be living in this area on higher ground, approximately 14 families are still choosing to return to the coast to live in tsunami-resistant housing. The challenge of the present Master's Degree Project (MDP)is to design a sustainable community consisting of amenities and housing to entice these 14 families to move to higher ground to create an attractive and safe place that celebrates culture and maintains a vital link to the water: For this to occur, amenities are needed that will not only benefit this specific group of people, but also the greater community of Coliumo. Infused with a measure of self- sufficiency, the community will be more resilient in the face of future adversity, and exert less strain on external aid and supplies in the event of another natural disaster.
