Corruption and disasters in the built environment
This paper presents the findings of a review of academic literature concerning the degree to which corruption worsens disasters triggered by natural hazards in the built environment. The research employed a ‘systematic literature review’ methodology to analyse leading academic databases, resulting in a detailed analysis of 59 peer‐reviewed, published papers. It found that while much of the literature focuses on earthquakes (relating to building a…
Work-Life-Study Balance and Executive Education
This article aims to understand the unique phenomenon of the work-life-study interface by studying the lived-in experiences of executive education students qualitatively. It delivers a unique contribution by highlighting the third element of ‘study’ in Work-life balance (WLB), unlike most of the literature, which is skewed towards work-life balance and neglects the ‘study’ aspect. The study used phenomenology as the qualitative research method to…
NGO permanent housing 10 years after the Gujarat earthquake
The January 2001 earthquake that struck the state of Gujarat in India damaged or destroyed some 8,000 villages and 490 towns. In the months and years after the earthquake, many organizations undertook widespread reconstruction programmes. One such collaboration between the NGO CARE India and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) built 5,554 permanent houses as well as schools and community centres in 23 villages. This…
Climate and Disaster Resilience in Cities
One of the emerging reasons for the current trend of increasing impacts of disasters is the unpredictability of natural hazard events coupled with the tendency of human settlements to move to vulnerable locations including coastal areas in search of economic gains. Urban areas are most affected due to concentration of habitat and resources. Whilst it is impossible to make resistant urban growth, resilience is becoming more widely accepted and urb…
Winners and losers from the 2001 Gujarat earthquake
This paper (1) looks at some of the winners and losers in the reconstruction efforts following the 2001 earthquake in Gujarat. It reviews some of the consequences of different approaches to reconstruction and these are illustrated by the experiences of three villages. It ends with a discussion of the lessons that are repeatedly ignored after disaster
Compounded loss
Purpose It has been observed in a number of recent disasters, and most evidently after the South Asian tsunami, that remote, underdeveloped, and most vulnerable communities take the longest to recover, in‐spite of an abundance of resources available for supporting them. The loss compounding approach of analysing the tsunami impact is a useful way of identifying those factors within the recovery process that need attention for helping affected com…
Development of products incorporating fermented rice‐legume‐whey blends
Rice‐dehulled black gram and rice‐dehulled bengal gram flour were mixed in three different proportions i.e. 60:40, 70:30 and 80:20 (w/w). These blends (100 gm) were then mixed with whey (105 ml) and fermented at 35°C for 18h. The fermented slurries were incorporated into weaning mixtures and biscuits. These products were then evaluated by a taste panel using a 9 point hedonic scale. Biscuits and weaning mixture which contained fermented slurries …
