An Ecological Risk Management and Capacity Building Model

摘要: Worldwide, natural and human ecosystems are increasingly subjected to hazards due global environmental change. Because these threats reflect interaction between social ecological systems, effective Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) can best be accomplished by increasing community capacity mitigate, cope with, adapt to, recover from hazard consequences developing DRR strategies that accommodate ecosystem interdependency. One reason of the widespread ineffectiveness in preparedness has been neglect environment/community interactions, how individual variables interact with each other. To address this gap an all-hazard inter-disciplinary literature review was conducted synergized integrated individual-level environment/community-level factors. Based on a social-ecological model developed. This identifies multitude operating across wide range dimensions (i.e., individual, historical, physical/natural, social, spiritual/religious, economic, political) different scales household, organisations, businesses, local government, state government). holistic risk management building developed describes factors influence adaptive capacities. provides foundation rationale for facilitating all stakeholders at-risk areas develop comprehensive relationships researchers investigate human-environment interactions depth.
