This paper examines the standards for, and process of, developing climate-resilient, post-disaster housing by comparing self-built homes with donor-driven homes, to understand what leads to resilient housing in a typhoon-prone area of central Vietnam. By exploring the roles and responsibilities of agents and institutions in housing development, it identifies the factors that hinder the adoption of disaster-resilient construction methods, and provides recommendations for ensuring that the homes of exposed households are made more resilient
