| Summary: | Yemen faces considerable obstacles in post-disaster reconstruction owing to political instability, budgetary limitations, and inefficiencies in disaster management. This article delineates and ranks the principal issues obstructing reconstruction initiatives, providing the inaugural complete examination of these challenges in Yemen. A thorough literature study identified 47 important elements that contribute to delays and failures in reconstruction. The elements were assessed through a survey of 51 seasoned engineers and prioritized using the Relative Importance Index (RII) into four categories: management, government, beneficiaries, and economic. The study delineates the 10 principal components that represent the foremost impediments to restoration, underscoring the want for improved governmental administration, dependable financial backing, and augmented community involvement. Addressing these issues can accelerate and improve the efficacy of reconstruction operations. The results offer pragmatic suggestions for policymakers and practitioners to enhance post-disaster reconstruction in Yemen and other areas encountering analogous difficulties. |
