Abstract: The factor evaluation for sustainability implementation in post-disaster reconstruction projects was conducted using artificial neural network (ANN)-based sensitivity analysis. The current study involves the utilization of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA) for the ANN model development. The findings demonstrated that the governing network structure is 10-3-1 utilizing input parameters (IP) including waste management (Sl), environmental impact management (S2), support of management (S3), construction cost (S4), public health and safety (S5), user security (S6), noise pollution (S7), energy consumption (S8), public services (S9), and recycling (S10). The results revealed that the governing model (GM) has a performance of correlation (R) = 0.99813 and Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 0.00110 and 0.4240/0, respectively. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis (SA) using Garson's algorithm (GA) reveals a trend of the relative value (RV) was observed to be construction cost > public services > support of management > user security > environmental impact management> noise pollution> public health and safety> energy consumption > recycling > waste management wherein the construction cost is the most influential parameter to the sustainability rating in post-disaster reconstruction projects (PDRP). The study shows how well ANN can detect the crucial elements that determine a project's sustainability rating in the post-disaster reconstruction projects.
