Resilient Recovery from Disasters
Rethinking Climate Extreme Events and (Im)mobility From a Place-Based Perspective
The frequency and intensity of climate extreme events (both slow and rapid onset) are projected to increase due to human-induced climate change. Thus, as a response, people's decisions of whether to move (mobility) or stay (immobility) from the face of climate extreme events will become increasingly important. To date, literature has established that these (im)mobilities are not linear responses to climate extreme events, and instead is a dynamic…
Localized nature-based solutions for enhanced climate resilience and community wellbeing in urban informal settlements
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are considered to hold promise for addressing the pressing and multi-faceted challenges of climate resilience. Addressing this contemporary agenda, this research paper explores the potential value of NbS in urban contexts based on the experience of implementing four NbS pilots to address climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction in an informal settlement in Honiara, Solomon Islands. The project, funded by the Swe…
Disaster capitalism in times of Covid-19 conversation on disasters
Purpose This conversation presents the reflections from six international disaster scholars on how disaster capitalism manifested in very different ways in different countries, including Japan, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, India and South Africa, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on the conversations that took place on Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast live…
People-centered disaster recovery
A novel framework for owner driven reconstruction projects to enhance disaster resilience in the long term
Purpose Post-disaster reconstruction poses a double-edged sword to its implementers as it demands addressing survivors’ need for speed as well as meeting the growing expectation to trigger resilience. While an owner-driven housing reconstruction (ODHR), inter-disciplinary and long-term approach has been promoted internationally; however, there is limited research focussed on the long-term impacts (>10 years after a disaster) of ODHR. Furthermore,…
