“…It has temperature swings from −20 °C to 51 °C, with monsoons and floods one time and heat waves the next. Rising global temperatures and climate unpredictability are exacerbating Pakistan's already severe flood issues (Countrystudies, 2022;Memon and Ahmed, 2022). The Federal Flood Commission recorded 20 significant floods in Pakistan since 1950.…”

Natural disasters, including droughts, earthquakes, landslides, and floods, cause human mortality, property destruction, and social and economic turmoil. More than 33 million people in Pakistan have been impacted by floods due to the recent heavy rains. Many public hospitals, water treatment plants, and educational institutions have also been damaged or destroyed. Water and vector-borne diseases may have spread more widely due to the floods. A rapid health emergency response must be initiated to treat the injured, stocking healthcare facilities with vital supplies and back up mobile health teams in the impacted areas.

Frequent torrential rainfall disasters have occurred worldwide in recent years. In Japan, the Northern Kyushu Torrential Rainfall disaster in July 2017 caused extensive damage to Fukuoka and Oita prefectures and significantly impacted local landscapes, from which residents derive pride and identity and, hence, are of the utmost importance. Local communities in Japan are also at risk of extinction due to progressive depopulation. This study discusses community revitalization through landscape creation and related challenges based on the case of the Hiraenoki Community affected by the Northern Kyushu Torrential Rainfall disaster. We conducted long-term participant observations over two years and semi-structured interviews with all households in the community. We found that the landscape project revitalized local pride and involved numerous people outside the community, including the prefectural extension center, university, and Non-Profit Organization (NPO), and provided them with an opportunity to connect. On the other hand, our investigation also revealed the danger of obscuring the original purpose of reconstruction activities because of collaboration with outsiders. This case study elucidates the possibilities and challenges of resident-led reconstruction activities in communities that are facing depopulation and aging problems and are working with organizations within and outside the community.
