Temporary housing settlements are one of the most significant post-crisis sheltering responses following devastating disasters and forced displacement. However, the urgency to provide immediate shelter often leads to the use of conventional methods that may overlook essential spatial design and contextual considerations. Considering the need for a new approach to settlement generation, this study introduces a novel model based on space layout design for the 3D layout generation of post-disaster and post-conflict (PDPC) temporary housing settlements. This research adopts a three-step methodology. First, design criteria and guidelines for PDPC temporary housing settlements, along with existing space layout design schemas, were thoroughly investigated. Second, a 3D layout generation model was developed based on identified requirements and constraints The model was then applied in two case studies focusing on the aftermath of the 2023 Türkiye earthquakes in Iskenderun and Şanlıurfa. The various community alternatives generated by the model were assessed within these specific contexts. Lastly, the model’s applicability was reviewed, and guidelines for future iterations were presented. Unlike prevalent approaches that primarily focus on housing design, this proposed model prioritizes design criteria and guidelines affecting spatial design and contextual considerations. It has the potential to significantly benefit affected communities by facilitating the generation of livable neighborhoods while also providing guidance for humanitarian workers engaged in the provision and design of PDPC settlements. This model offers a promising avenue for enhancing sheltering response efforts, potentially reshaping post-crisis recovery.
