What constitutes successful participatory disaster risk management? Insights from post-earthquake reconstruction work in rural Gujarat, India

Applications of Volunteer Fire Fighters against Great Disasters and its Implications

“…대규모 재난은 불확실성(uncertainty)을 지니며 사회구성원 및 인프라에 대해 상호 연계작용(interaction)을 할 수 있으므로 일방적인 방재지식과 습득만으로 대비하기 어렵다. 즉, 방재를 위한 사항을 지역사회에서 공유하여 공 동체적 참여를 통한 대응이 무엇보다 필요하다 (19,(33)(34)(35) . 예를 들어 동일본 대지진 이후 소방단의 영역확대와 지역주민과 의 협력을 위해 여성 방화(防火)클럽과 청소년 소방클럽의 활동을 지원하고 지역 내 소방단 거점을 방재 커뮤니티 센 터로 이용하도록 추진하고 있다 (27) .…”

Strengthening the Human Right to Sanitation as an Instrument for Inclusive Development

“…Specifically, assessment tools promote participation and enhance disaster preparedness and effective response (Obani, 2017). Participation can foster unity within the affected community during the recovery phase (Samaddar, Okada, Choi & Tatano, 2017). However, the overall effect on ID would also depend on the extent to which the WASH Cluster engages with the local population in the design of interventions, and how well the instruments promote environmental sustainability (see Figure 6.1).…”

“…DRM can address adaptation to environmental drivers like weather variability, natural hazards, and high temperatures/high turbidity in source water particularly when it is pursued through participatory approaches that involve the affected communities in the disaster risk planning and implementation processes (Vietnam Red Cross, 2011;Samaddar et al, 2017). Further, the precautionary principle obliges States to promote local capacity for climate change adaptation and mitigation measures, even in the face of scientific uncertainties over some aspects of climate change impacts (de Sadeleer, 2002;Holden et al, 2016;Kenny & Clarke, 2010).…”

“…Management instruments provide users with an opportunity to participate in the sanitation governance process; through active participation, the users can communicate their unique preferences and challenges to the relevant stakeholders, in order to inform better sanitation policy and interventions and lead to sustainable outcomes (Malebo et al, 2012;Samaddar et al, 2017;Wicken et al, 2008). The participation of the local population can uncover local traditions and practices which may be adapted at low cost to address poor sanitation (McGranahan, 2013).…”

Taking Time, Sharing Spaces: Adaptive Risk Governance Processes in Rural Japan

“…The methods developed by Professor Okada and colleagues and used in these locations have been described previously in several papers (for example, Xu et al 2014;Higo et al 2017), as well as having been employed in other locations (for example, Paton et al 2010;Okada et al 2013a;Samaddar et al 2017). In this article, I wish to build on those foundational papers by reframing the approach and development of community capacity from the perspective of an ''outsider'' based on my limited observations.…”
