While a disaster such as an earthquake or a tsunami causes large scale devastation and destruction, these events have sometimes been used by planners for large scale reconstitution of land holdings through application of planning tools such as land readjustment (or land pooling). Land readjustment is a process of reconstitution of land holdings or lots into rational and regular shaped lots, adding public infrastructure such as public roads and parks, the land for which is contributed equitably by all landowners, as a percentage of their land holdings. Several examples are available from around the world where local governments and policy makers have used such an approach while rebuilding lost housing and infrastructure.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject422-424
