“…A larger proportion of environmental crisis studies (n = 14) reported on active KE [55,[67][68][69]71,73,74,76,77,79,81,84,85,109]. Theoretical frameworks underpinning active KE in environmental settings were aligned with participatory and collaborative principles, aiming to develop a more holistic understanding of a crisis inclusive of a range of knowledge [67][68][69]71,74,77,81,83]. Active KE environmental crisis approaches encompassed the exchange of formalised knowledge (e.g.…”

“…During the recovery stage, three studies reported on projects to encourage safer construction practices in localities affected by weather related events and earthquakes involving KE delivered through NGOs or donor programmes [73,74,77]. In these studies, the involvement of communities of place often aimed to encourage the uptake of existing good practice guidance as part of housing construction.…”

Knowledge exchange in crisis settings: A scoping review

Background Public health practice and efforts to improve the social determinants of health operate within a climate characterised by multiple and intersecting crises. This includes the Covid-19 pandemic as well as more protracted crises such as climate change and persistent social inequalities that impact health. We sought to understand and compare how knowledge exchange (KE) processes occur across different crises, and how knowledge on improving social determinants of health can be utilised at times of crisis to reduce health inequalities and strengthen public systems. Methods We conducted a scoping review to understand how KE on improving social determinants of health can occur across different types of crises (e.g. environmental, pandemics, humanitarian). Relevant studies were identified through electronic searching of Medline, EMBASE, Global Health, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results We identified 86 studies for inclusion in the review. Most studies concerned pandemic or environmental crises. Fewer studies explored KE during technical (e.g. nuclear), terror-related or humanitarian crises. This may reflect a limitation of the searches. Few studies assessed KE as part of longer-term responses to social and economic impacts of crises, with studies more likely to focus on immediate response or early recovery stages. Exchange of research evidence or data with policy or practice contextual knowledge was common but there was variation in the extent that lay (public) knowledge was included as part of KE processes. Conclusion As ongoing crises continue with significant public health implications, KE processes should appropriately reflect the complexity inherent in crises and foreground health inequalities. Doing so could include the utilisation of systems or complexity-informed methods to support planning and evaluation of KE, a greater focus on KE to support action to address social determinants of health, and the inclusion of a plurality of knowledge–including lived experience–in planning and responding to crises.

PurposeUnderstanding the supply network of construction materials used to construct shelters in refugee camps, or during the reconstruction of communities, is important as it can reveal the intricate links between different stakeholders and the volumes and speeds of material flows to the end-user. Using social network analysis (SNA) enables another dimension to be analysed – the role of commonalities. This is likely to be particularly important when attempting to replace vernacular materials with higher-performing alternatives or when encouraging the use of non-vernacular methods. This paper aims to analyse the supply networks of four different disaster-relief situations.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from interviews with 272 displaced (or formally displaced) families in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Turkey, often in difficult conditions.FindingsThe results show that the form of the supply networks was highly influenced by the nature/cause of the initial displacement, the geographical location, the local availability of materials and the degree of support/advice given by aid agencies and or governments. In addition, it was found that SNA could be used to indicate which strategies might work in a particular context and which might not, thereby potentially speeding up the delivery of novel solutions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study represents the first attempt in theorising and empirically investigating supply networks using SNA in a post-disaster reconstruction context. It is suggested that future studies might map the up-stream supply chain to include manufacturers and higher-order, out of country, suppliers. This would provide a complete picture of the origins of all materials and components in the supply network.Originality/valueThis is original research, and it aims to produce new knowledge.

“…However, it is unclear how the earthquake resistance of reconstructed housing differs for different intensities of humanitarian technical assistance (United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and AXA, 2019). In addition, little empirical research examines how communities self-recover after a disaster, when they are left to reconstruct with little to no technical assistance, using their own resources and knowledge (Hendriks and Opdyke, 2020;Maynard et al, 2017;Twigg et al, 2017). Furthermore, humanitarian assistance only reaches a small percentage of disaster-affected populations (Morel and Global Shelter Cluster, 2018).…”

Earthquake affected households too often insufficiently apply seismic construction knowledge during reconstruction. This study aims to assess to what degree safety guidelines have found their way to practice in Nepal. Differences are explored between communities in the Gorkha and Okhaldhunga districts, which received differing levels of technical assistance following the 2015 earthquakes. Seismic resistance of houses was assessed 3 years after the earthquakes. Findings from 955 houses in 25 communities show high degrees of adoption of earthquake-resistant construction knowledge in all selected communities. Variation in safer construction across communities differs only slightly for different intensities of humanitarian technical assistance. This finding points toward the need to more closely examine the communication methods employed and motivations of households to build back safer.
