The aim of the dissertation is to present the issue of post-catastrophic reconstruction of and and dwellings with focus on temporary forms of housing. Given the complexity of the topic, various aspects are presented, from mobile houses, the basics of environmentalism and foreign aid through temporary post-catastrophic dwellings and constructions to assessment databases of temporary post-catastrophic constructions. Observation is focused mainly on constructions and shelters built shortly after the catastrophe. Based on the study of manuals, directives, post-catastrophic reports and analyses of constructions for emergency situations, a hypothesis was created that determines the factors for the success of mobile houses in post-catastrophic conditions. The crucial factors are: transportability, efficiency, versatility, adaptability to the place of catastrophe and development in time. The hypothesis was verified on a sample of 17 selected mobile houses and on student´s works. The contribution of this dissertation is global evaluation of the issue of post-catastrophic reconstruction from several points of view, formulation of three areas of current mobile and basic types of transitional shelters, the description of post-disaster reconstruction of land and dwellings.

Factors that influence the success of emergency houses in the disaster-stricken areas
Kučerová, Petra
An increasing number of environmental problems and the global financial crisis that have paralyzed the building industry since 2008 led to the fact that interest in this problem with the moral impact increased rapidly. In the article formulates four basic factors for the success of mobile buildings for emergencies in disaster-stricken areas. These factors are transportability, universality versus adaptability to the place of disaster, economy and development in time. Transportability - the fastest and the most efficient transportation to the destination are considered already in the design stage, resulting into two main proposals. The first proposal is an assembly of many small components; the second proposal is a compact cuboid or cube the interior of which is used as a "container" for important items - food, water, medical supplies… Universality versus adaptability to the point of disaster - since each disaster is unique is not possible to create a universal building and declare it "perfectly" useful for any situation. The proposals aim to create an object that will be able to simply replace some of the parts in order to adapt to different conditions of different climates, characters and ways of life. Economy - despite the large amount of funds in development and humanitarian aid flows, the economy factor is very important. Therefore, the basic principles used are cheap materials or utilization of local raw materials. Evolution in time - judicious placement of temporary shelters the structure of which remains preserved in long-term perspective after replacement of temporary structures. Communication and collaboration between architects and humanitarian organizations is an equally important factor.
