Natural hazards pose significant threats to housing infrastructure worldwide. Governments play a pivotal role in post-disaster housing reconstruction (PDHR). However, existing research often fails to distinguish between factors that governments can realistically manage and those beyond their control. This oversight limits the availability of practical guidance for effective policy-making. This study addresses this gap by identifying and evaluating Key Government-manageable Factors (KGMFs) to enhance the effectiveness of government-led reconstruction efforts, using recent flood events in China as a case study. A sequential qualitative approach was employed, which began with a comprehensive literature review to identify an initial pool of KGMFs. These factors were then refined and evaluated for their importance and implementation difficulty through in-depth interviews with government officials across three flood-affected case study sites. The study identifies 28 KGMFs across five dimensions, including policy framework, resource management, stakeholder coordination, quality supervision, and housing adaptation. Systemic implementation barriers were identified, including financial rigidity, inter-departmental coordination silos, policy ambiguity, and fragmented communication, which undermine the translation of policy intent into effective practice at the community level. This research contributes a novel analytical framework centered on “government-manageability” and provides a practical tool for policymakers to strategically allocate resources. By delineating actionable levers for intervention, the study offers crucial insights for improving the governance of post-disaster reconstruction in China and other contexts with significant state involvement.
