Framework for integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge for disaster risk reduction 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A growing awareness of the value of indigenous knowledge has prompted calls for its use within disaster risk reduction. The use of indigenous knowledge alongside scientific knowledge is increasingly advocated but there is as yet no clearly developed framework demonstrating how the two may be integrated to reduce community vulnerability to environmental hazards. This paper presents such a framework, using a participatory approach in which relevant indigenous and scientific knowledge may be integrated to reduce a community's vulnerability to environmental hazards. Focusing on small island developing states it presents an analysis of the need for such a framework alongside the difficulties of incorporating indigenous knowledge. This is followed by an explanation of the various processes within the framework, drawing on research completed in Papua New Guinea. This framework is an important first step in identifying how indigenous and scientific knowledge may be integrated to reduce community vulnerability to environmental hazards. 相似文献

Nation‐building policies in Timor‐Leste: disaster risk reduction,including climate change adaptation

Few studies have explored the relationships between nation‐building, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. Focusing on small island developing states, this paper examines nation‐building in Timor‐Leste, a small island developing state that recently achieved independence. Nation‐building in Timor‐Leste is explored in the context of disaster risk reduction, which necessarily includes climate change adaptation. The study presents a synopsis of Timor‐Leste's history and its nation‐building efforts as well as an overview of the state of knowledge of disaster risk reduction including climate change adaptation. It also offers an analysis of significant gaps and challenges in terms of vertical and horizontal governance, large donor presence, data availability and the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation for nation‐building in Timor‐Leste. Relevant and applicable lessons are provided from other small island developing states to assist Timor‐Leste in identifying its own trajectory out of underdevelopment while it builds on existing strengths. 相似文献

The diversity of shelters used in transitional settlements for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Herat, Afghanistan is described. The information is based on a field survey undertaken in March 2002 and highlights the adaptation techniques, which IDPs undertake to improve any provided shelter. Potential areas for improvement are indicated; for example, the possibility for using insulated, demountable liners to prevent cold-related deaths without sacrificing shelter flexibility along with the likely need for better agency coordination of the shelter responses they provide. The wider context in which the technical recommendations would be implemented must also be considered. Such issues include agency resources, political impediments to providing the desired option, and the preference of many IDPs that the best shelter would be their home. 相似文献

Study of the life history characteristics of the common Red Sea sponge Mycale fistulifera (Poecilosclerida: Demospongiae) reveals several traits which may categorize it as an opportunistic species: (1) at least part of the population is reproductively active throughout the year, providing a continuous supply of larvae for settlement; (2) sponges may produce and release a large number (152±39 larvae d-1) of brooded larvae; (3) released larvae are capable of fast settlement and metamorphosis (minutes to 30 hours post-release); (4) the turnover of the population is high and population size varies with time. From 48 initial sponges plus 94 recruits, only 25 remained alive after 14 months of observation; (5) most members of the population (>70%) have a small body size (<30 cm2); (6) sexual maturity may occur at an early age. These traits facilitate continuous establishment of M. fistulifera in new spaces on the reef; (7) M. fistulifera, preferred substrate is another opportunistic species, the coral Stylophora pistillata which it overgrows. 相似文献
