Post-disaster assessment of hazard mitigation for small and medium-magnitude debris flow disasters in Bali, Indonesia and Jimani, Dominican Republic

摘要: This article explores whether past exposure to debris flow disasters with a human dimension (e.g. caused in part by deforestation) results adaptive hazard miti- gation and improved environmental resource management practices affected areas. When guiding mitigation practice, the 'adaptive mitigation' approach views as multi-dimensional experiment, associated need for post-experi- ment monitoring, evaluation, learning adjustment, attention paid multiple scales (Bogardi 2004). how concept of has emerged, linking this management' used increasingly environ- mental management. Two case studies linked human-induced change are examined, responses local communities, NGOs Government agencies documented. Data sources include secondary data (journal articles, web-based disaster reports grey literature) on each disaster, key informant interviews (n = 8) direct observation over 2005-2006 period post-disaster actions implemented after disaster. The research indicates that both studies, limited range was employed, including structural non-structural approaches. However, also found causal factors involving were not addressed, overall, strategies adopted lacked adjustment. In judged be examples 'trial error' adaptation, rather than either 'passive' or 'active' adaptation.
