“…There exists traditional discourse which built gender discourse in a form of stereotypes in disaster mitigations (Banford & Froude, 2015;Akerkar & Fordham, 2017;Chineka et al, 2019). Patriarchy dominance in a society (Thapa & Pathranarakul, 2019) could create difficulties for women to be given a responsibility in decision-making positions (Hemachandra et al, 2018). Women would assume domestic roles, meanwhile the social construction in traditional society would be relatively dominated by men.…”

“…Only a handful of people affiliated with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and political parties are aware of gender equality, and women and human rights (Reyes & Lu, 2015). One of the main factors in why women and children are included in vulnerable populations is due to lack of access and opportunities (Thapa & Pathranarakul, 2019), based on culture, social, and position of the individuals in the society (Becker, 2011;Hemachandra et al, 2018;Thapa & Pathranarakul, 2019). Most men would disagree and object in the idea of women being given a role in disaster situations (Enarson & Chakrabarti, 2009;Thapa & Pathranarakul, 2019;Hasan et al, 2019) The belief of religion discourse also affects the limits and roles of women in social structures, household burdens, education, interests, policies and legislations, organizational culture, political environment, and household income (Enarson & Chakrabarti, 2009;Hemachandra et al, 2018;Hasan et al, 2019).…”

“…This makes the role of gender, responsibility, and social norms become neglected (Washington, 2018). Previous research studies review that women are often considered into a marginal group (The National Academics, 2012;Daramola, Oni, Ogundele, & Adesanya, 2016;Akerkar & Fordham, 2017;Cvetkovi Roder, Öcal, & Tarolli, 2018;Hemachandra, Amaratunga, & Haigh, 2018;Kaban et al, 2019). However, those studies could not show disaster analysis through the perspective of gender.…”

Indonesia is one of the countries that is easily affected by natural disasters. Previous research has been focusing on the disaster mitigation, including on the post-trauma counseling for the victims. This paper aims to explore under-research area by exploring how disaster mitigation responds to the need of young children. Using a feminist lens, this paper would explore what extent the disaster mitigation has been adopting gender responsive principle. Using a literature review, this paper also aims to see whether or not the existing mitigation approach has in fact potentially harmed one gender. Finding of this paper is expected to offer recommendation to policy makers and educators on how to develop a gender responsive and also gender equity mitigation approach.

“…For instance, language barriers are often cited as an issue in risk communication and disaster recovery that increases vulnerabilities for Hispanic populations. Ethnic cultural norms have also been exhibited through differential attitudes toward accepting aid assistance, adopting attitudes toward mitigative actions for risk, the roles of gender in the management phases of both recovery and disaster response actions, as well as in other facets of disaster cycle (Drotet et al 2015;Hemachandra et al 2018;Kulatunga 2010;Wang et al 2017. Additionally, it has been noted that Hispanics tend to settle in neighborhoods with close proximity to family (Mirowsky and Ross 1984).…”

This paper aims to explain survey findings regarding disaster recovery processes among ethnic groups in a rural Texas community. The research was conducted over a 4-year period with most of the survey data collected over the summer of 2004. The research was descriptive in nature, attempting to document processes and sources of recovery aid acquisition following a natural disaster, and viewed through the lens of cultural and ethnic literature regarding minorities and disaster recovery processes. The difficulty in explaining research findings comes from the fact that data was collected at the household level, yet the explanations which best elucidate the findings are derived from a different level of analysis than that of the survey. The variation in aid acquisition between ethnic groups is best understood as a manifestation of community cultural norms, which implies both individual, cognitive norms, as well as social norms. Ethnic literature focused on minorities in disaster situations, excerpts from qualitative data, and personal observations are used to support the interpretation of the data presented herein pointing to cultural flexibility in recovery processes, which are stifled by institutional barriers hampering recovery efficiencies.
