Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provided
us with an opportunity to reflect on actions taken up by the
community and the volunteers in ensuring health and well-being.
These actions undertaken by the non-government organizations,
non-profit organization and resident welfare associations is the true
indicator of country’s ‘resilience culture’. However, current policy
initiatives do not provide a direct mechanism in fostering community
resilience. It is observed that multiple networks ensuring community
resilience are dependent on each other. Therefore, in this paper,
an evidence-based methodology is adopted which narrates the
performance of the residential apartment design for community
action. Semi-structured interviews are conducted with the architects,
planners and resident welfare association of the residential
community-based in Delhi, India. Maintaining the anonymity of the
interviewee, this methodology helps in performing content analysis
of responder transcripts. The outcome of this analysis presents a
set of attributes for the design and planning of apartment housing.
The corresponding attributes further assist in ensuring community
resilience to withstand external shocks of pandemics.
