Abstract
Guiding Principles for Environmental Planning are two principal environmental concerns: restoring damage to the environment from a disaster and minimizing the environmental impact of the reconstruction process itself. Site planning in new settlements should be governed by ecological concerns. Construction methods, building designs, and choice of materials all have an environmental impact; they should be based on local practices while being eco-friendly. Disaster debris is a valuable resource that should be reused during reconstruction whenever possible. However, materials that can be harmful to workers or the environment, such as asbestos or toxic substances, must be managed carefully.
