The key goal of this book is to identify which issues or factors can inform and shape the resilience of residential housing against natural disasters in Central Vietnam and how building design interventions can interact and assist the achievement of housing resilience. Since this study pursued a qualitative research, the interpretive paradigm was applied to investigate the research questions mentione
