Ecosystem-based DRR in urban Sri Lanka
Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction is gaining increasing recognition as a sustainable alternative to engineered methods for mitigating disaster risks. Although implemented worldwide, numerous Ecosystem-based DRR projects largely rely on Western scientific frameworks, frequently neglecting the local knowledge, actions, and perspectives embedded in the socio-economic and cultural contexts of local populations. This study aims to understand how…
Innovative ways of illustrating the present, imagining the future and analysing themes
Mammalian predators are threatening New Zealand's endemic species with extinction. Community-led predator control may contribute to a predator-free nation by 2050. An individual's present and future thoughts about, and subsequent actions for, conservation rely on their current and projected motivations and concerns. Innovative approaches to conservation action theme elicitation and analysis were developed through this visual arts based qualitativ…
A multiple natural hazard analysis, Secmol College region, near Leh, Ladakh, North India, with applications for community-based DRR
Purpose This paper places a college at the centreof a multi-hazard assessment (earthquake, flood and landslide). The college is within a less studied, rural area of Ladakh, North India. Research focusses on a case study (Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL) College), close to Leh, Ladakh, and extends to incorporate/apply thinking from/to the wider Ladakh region. The approach adopted, centring on the hazard assessment of a…
Interconnected geoscience applied to disaster and risk
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply the concept of “Interconnected Geoscience” to a disaster and risk reduction (DRR) case study at SECMOL College, near Leh, Ladakh, N. India. Interconnected geoscience is a model that advocates holistic approaches to geoscience for development. This paper reports research/practical work with Ladakhi students/staff, undertaking community-oriented DRR exercises in hazard awareness, DRR themed village/coll…
