Description :

Afghanistan is among the most disaster-prone countries in the world. It is evident that not only the prolonged conflict but also the recurrent disasters have put the fragile county in a vicious circle of underdevelopment. To address the increasing threat posed by natural disasters and climate change, the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) works to ensure that poor people live in physical settings that are as safe as possible from the effects of natural disasters. This Project is Habitat planning and rural housing design for DehKhaw village in Darwaz Badakhshan, effected by debris flow and flood in 2017 and currently living in severe condition. The objective of this study is to develop the Habitat planning/village planning and affordable rural housing modals to suite for the mountainous area of the newly identified land plot based on Habitat Assessment.
