requirements for its workability, protects the dignity of
the subject(s). In post-disaster housing research this can
be categorised into three aspects; the occupants/users of
the facilities, the type of building/structure provided for
the victims, and the kind of environment which it is
situated. The paper reviewed various ethical
consideration of research in post-disaster housing. The
research approach adopted for this study was based on an
in-depth literature review. The study examined different
code of ethics, conduct and literary standards and how it
relates to research in post-disaster housing, because
literature on the post-disaster housing research
repetitively reveals ethical questions, conflicting values,
and ambiguity in decision-making. The research
concludes that there is lack of clarity in ethical standard
in post-disaster housing research and encourages
researchers, professionals, and government agencies to
develop more awareness and efficient framework in postdisaster housing research to address the issues of human
rights. It recommended that research ethics must receive
special attention in the post-disaster housing studies. Any
form of criticism should be attended to and not
suppressed
