“…Henderson (2002), however, notes that many formal crisis management plans have an emphasis on the individual firm, and that they are not therefore directly applicable to National Tourism Organisations (NTOs), and proposes therefore that specific regional and national crisis management planning is required. This point is reinforced by Kaklauskas, Amaratunga, and Haigh (2009), who suggest that there is a pressing need to integrate post-disaster management with both the micro and macro environment, and with all stakeholders. Wayne and Carmichael (2005) proposed that traditional and safe travel markets should be the focus of emergency marketing plans.…”

This paper presents the results of a review of the literature concerning post-disaster and post-crisis recovery for tourist destinations. A total of 64 articles on this topic published in peer-reviewed tourism journals between January 2000 and June 2012 were included in the review. These articles were written on a number of different disaster contexts, including weather-related events (floods and hurricanes), natural disasters (earthquakes and tsunami) and other events (such as pandemics and terrorist attacks).The key themes that emerged included a lack of communication between stakeholders, media sensationalism, the importance of selecting the most effective marketing messages, lack of disaster-management plans, damage to destination image and reputation, and the changes in tourist behaviour following crises and disasters. The review identifies ways to improve the speed and effectiveness of response to disaster, the importance of relationship marketing with loyal customers and the need to quickly repair destination image. Suggestions for future research arising from this review include the urgent need to encourage tourism operators to engage with crisis preparedness and disaster-management strategies and the importance of gaining a better understanding of the consumer response to disastrous events.

“…In fact, although information about coping and adaptation strategies and building resilience are available at various domains from decades, millions of people are getting severely affected by changes every year due to the lack of adequate knowledge, as a result of lying information at one place and not getting transformed into the lifesaving knowledge for the communities at risk. Kaklauskas et al (2009) indicate that in the countries affected by Asian tsunami, the lack of KM and, therefore, the lack of knowledge sharing, acquisition, storage, and utilization on coping and adaptation strategies can thereby be identified as one of major reasons behind the vulnerability of these societies. In fact, two major challenges for building resilience-on both fields of knowledge and practice-are (a) the lack of relevant, accurate, and available information and (b) ineffective management of information (Daneshpour et al 2012).…”

Discovering and characterizing farm households’ resilience under water scarcity

Water scarcity at an alarming rate has been a limiting factor for sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid environments of the world. It has resulted in a number of problems such as poverty and food insecurity among farm households. Therefore, building and improving resilience, as a way to mitigate the impacts of water scarcity, is important for farm households. But one of the significant steps for planning to improve farm households' resilience under water scarcity is investigation of the current level of resilience of these households and understanding their variances. Therefore, this study offers a classification of farm households' diversity based on resilience. Primary data were collected from 260 randomly selected farm households in 21 villages around Parishan wetland, Iran. Farm Household Resilience Scale was used to measure resilience. Cluster analysis suggested three groups: highly, medium-, and low-resilient farm households. The results of comparing three groups revealed that highly resilient farm households characterize with higher risk management, more agricultural water security, more positive psychological traits, and better knowledge management. Also, they had better water quality, attended more agricultural extension activities, and used modern irrigation systems. Farm households' resilience map using GIS software illustrated that there is a relationship between resilience and farm location from the wetland. The findings of this study could be used by planner and policy-makers to improve farm households' resilience in arid and semi-arid environments. Improvement in knowledge management system is recommended as one of the most effective policy instruments in building resilience.

“…In addition, political and social issues such as cultural norms, internal ethnic conflicts, the influence of religion within institutional and community life, as well as demographic issues and trends, contribute to shape and drive PDRPM (Jha et al 2010). All of these factors put PDRPM in a quite unique position, deriving from the fact that PDRPM must be adapted and embedded into a complex disaster scenario, with sensitivity to a vast range of issues that include the socioeconomic, cultural, institutional, technological, environmental, and legal/regulatory circumstances of the existing context (Kaklauskas et al 2009). For this reason, most PDRPM experiences are not replicable; rather, they are useful as evidence to be weighed in arriving at suitable local approaches (Jha et al 2010).…”

In the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the Gaza Strip has suffered regular cycles of reconstruction due to systematic destruction during Israeli military operations, as in 2006, 2008-2009, 2012, and 2014. In this context of ongoing conflict this article aims to identify, rank, and discuss the most important factors influencing post-disaster reconstruction project management (PDRPM) for housing in the Gaza Strip. A set of key factors that influence PDRPM were assembled as a result of a global literature review. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and the obtained data were analyzed using a relative importance index for each PDRPM factor. Findings are presented in six groups: housing approaches, organizational behavior, project funding, supply chain and logistics, communication and coordination, and PDRPM context. Findings indicate that the most significant factors that influence PDRPM for housing provision in the Gaza Strip are related to issues associated with financial resources. It is critical that sufficient funding should be available in order to allow organizations to undertake housing projects in an effective and efficient way. Joint efforts are required from international donors and local organizations in order to effectively manage financial resources with the ultimate goal of improving PDRPM for housing provision.
