The rural infrastructure is becoming more and more vulnerable to seismic hazards and thus there is a need of low-cost, practical and sustainable options for earthquake-resistant housing. Previous works have played an important role in seismic monitoring, Confined Masonry system, and retrofit models, but they are frequently based in urban areas, high-cost materials and expertise construction competence are assumed, being not applicable in a rural site. This research paper provides a low-cost and sustainable housing design to resist the earthquake which is customized for the rural dwellers. The system combines the use of local materials, easy construction technological solutions as well as design specific layout in such a way that it provided earthquake resistance while being economic. Sustainability issues are integrated using environmentally friendly resources and environmentally considerate building techniques. The framework also stresses a flexible approach to different strength of ground shaking and soil conditions allowing its wide application in different rural contexts. Through this comprehensive approach, the study fills significant gaps in the current literature by providing a scalable and implementable solution that improves the safety, affordability and sustainability of rural housing in earthquake-prone areas.
