The influence of builders on seismic strengthening of housing
Trust in information sources is essential for bridging the gap between intentions to seek seismic preparedness advice and the adoption of protective measures, such as retrofitting homes. Builders are one of the most frequently consulted sources when homeowners seek to strengthen or repair their homes for earthquake resistance. While research has focused on homeowners, engineers, and the seismic risk of tall buildings, the crucial role of builders…
Navigating relief to recovery in humanitarian shelter and settlements
Moving from short-term relief to supporting recovery remains a persistent challenge for humanitarian shelter and settlements practitioners, particularly as crises become more protracted. This study examines how practitioners conceptualise recovery, the barriers they face, and the strategies used to navigate them. Drawing on cross-national interviews and literature, we find that recovery is understood as a dynamic and non-linear process situated b…
Inclusive and Integrated Disaster Risk Reduction
Linking social infrastructure and social capital
Social infrastructure – spaces where social relationships are formed and maintained – plays a vital role in shaping disaster resilience. This study examines how different types of social infrastructure influence the creation and mobilisation of bonding, bridging, and linking social capital in disaster contexts. Drawing on fieldwork observations and 47 interviews with community members and government authorities across eight barangays in Tacloban …
Pathways to humanitarian shelter durable solutions
Annual increases in global displacements due to conflict and natural hazards have intensified the need for durable humanitarian shelter solutions. Despite growing conceptual clarity over the ‘durable solution’ concept, a distinct lack of research exists to ascertain the combinations of conditions that lead to these outcomes. This research investigates the conditions supporting shelter duration solutions across 229 global case studies, employing f…
Building resilience or reinforcing vulnerability? The enduring allure of hard infrastructure as adaptation
This paper examines a climate buffer infrastructural paradox: that, despite an expansive archive documenting the limits of hard structural solutions, they retain their allure as a popular technical solution to protect against climatic hazards. The Leyte Tide Embankment Project (LTEP) in the Philippines, also known as "The Great Wall of Leyte", is one of dozens of climate buffer megaprojects proliferating globally that promise to protect coastal z…
The long-term impact of humanitarian housing interventions following the 2010 Merapi eruption
There is strong evidence of the short-term impact of humanitarian interventions after disasters, however, relatively less is known about what, if any, impact this support has on long-term recovery outcomes in communities. This research examined long-term housing outcomes following assistance provided after the 2010 Merapi eruption in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We surveyed 316 households who received and did not receive housing assistance following da…
Higher ground or into harm's way? Household storm surge sheltering and evacuation plans
Storm surge poses a significant threat to property, livelihoods, and life for coastal populations. The Philippines is expected to see the highest rise in storm surge exposure of any country over the next century under climate change, requiring robust knowledge of how current risk and evacuation intensions for households intersect. Drawing on a survey of 12,150 households in the Municipality of Carigara, we compare building-level storm surge risk …
Deconstructing disaster risk creation discourses
Processes of disaster risk creation are outpacing the achievements of disaster risk reduction initiatives. Preventing risk creation is consequently an objective recognised by major disaster frameworks. However, there exists a gap in our understanding of the processes contributing to risk creation, with the existing body of knowledge lacking conceptual clarification to guide empirical applications. This review distils how disaster scholarship eith…
Archetypes of local governance for flood risk reduction decision-making under uncertain climate change futures
Urban coastal communities are among the most vulnerable to flood hazards, with these threats set to increase under climate change. Knowledge of how uncertainty shapes passive or proactive local decision-making processes of climate adaptation remains sparse – with significant potential to inform resilient and sustainable futures. To understand these decision dynamics, we developed a serious game to simulate the local governance roles, resources, a…
Does safer housing save lives? An analysis of typhoon mortality and dwellings in the Philippines
Decision‐making factor interactions influencing climate migration
Global migration and mobility dynamics are expected to shift in the coming decades as a result of climate change. However, the extent to which migration is caused by climate hazards, in contrast or addition to other intervening factors, is a point of debate in literature. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify and consolidate factors which directly and indirectly influence climate change migration. In our review of…
Promoting migration as adaptation to climate change
In the past decade, there has been growing pushback towards the idea of migration as a “failure to adapt” to climate change. Climate-related migration is increasingly viewed as an adaptation strategy rather than the consequence of failed in situ adaptation (McLeman and Smit 2006). As we move toward a more nuanced understanding of the interaction between climate change and migration, governments now need to work towards strategies to aid safe and …
Social vulnerability to natural hazards in the Philippines
Where does local and indigenous knowledge in disaster risk reduction go from here? A systematic literature review
The embeddedness of local and indigenous communities in their environments has led them to develop time-tested knowledge and practices to prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the impacts of natural hazards. Collectively, these are referred to as local and indigenous knowledge (LIK) and have gained a niche in disaster risk reduction (DRR) scholarship. We conducted a systematic literature review, identifying 325 articles that were qu…
The influence of technical assistance and funding on perceptions of post-disaster housing safety after the 2015 Gorkha earthquakes in Nepal
Housing is vital in facilitating a return to normality following a disaster; however, it remains one of the most challenging and problematic areas of post-disaster assistance. There is a pressing need to unpack “Build Back Better” aspirations to understand the drivers of safe housing reconstruction. The objective of this research was to understand the influence of technical assistance and sources of funding on household perceptions of housing saf…
Mitigating infrastructure disaster losses through asset management practices in the Middle East and North Africa region
Defining a humanitarian shelter and settlements research agenda
Despite the knowledge gained on post-disaster sheltering and housing over the last several decades, there remains a disconnect in the evidence needed by humanitarian practitioners and the learning that the research community is capturing. To determine the research needed by practitioners, we assembled a Delphi panel of experts in humanitarian shelter and settlements. They first identified and then ranked the relative importance of research topics…
Knowledge adoption in post-disaster housing self-recovery
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore communication of hazard-resistant construction techniques after disaster in the absence of outside influence. It further aims to unpack the barriers and drivers in the adoption of knowledge processes to identify strategic recommendations to enlarge adoption of safer construction practices by local construction actors. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on an analysis of stakeholders’ pe…
Assessing the impact of household participation on satisfaction and safe design in humanitarian shelter projects
Participation has long been considered important for post-disaster recovery. Establishing what constitutes participation in post-disaster shelter projects, however, has remained elusive, and the links between different types of participation and shelter programme outcomes are not well understood. Furthermore, recent case studies suggest that misguided participation strategies may be to blame for failures. This study analysed 19 shelter projects i…
