It helps...
The World Bank is increasingly at the forefront of housing reconstruction in countries affected by disasters. Yet, literature on Bank's postdisaster projects rather thin. This paper examines processes two disaster financed India and Turkey following 2001 Gujarat 1999 Marmara earthquakes. Based interviews, focus groups, participant observation, a review secondary sources, authors Bank-related factors that recovery outcomes.

The objective of the study presented in this paper is to investigate determinants resilience water infrastructure systems developing countries using case 2015 Nepalese Earthquake. Because differences social, economic, technological, and political contexts, characteristics resilient are different from those developed countries. Unfortunately, however, understanding various factors phenomena influencing rather limited. To address knowledge gap, investigated Kathmandu Valley earthquake through...
Despite a growing acknowledgement of shared responsibilities in emergency management, one the hidden and overlooked issues disaster literature is identification integration multisector stakeholder values: things that are importance, merit, utilities to stakeholders. Stakeholders (e.g., public, private, nonprofit sectors community residents) hold numerous values with varying degrees forming system value priorities. Stakeholder priorities—referred as systems—are not static context; they...
Despite many studies on infrastructure resilience in the existing literature, there is a limited empirical understanding of disaster context intermittent systems. To fill this knowledge gap, our study provides an example assessment Kathmandu Valley's electricity and water supply systems 2015 Gorkha earthquake. The based qualitative data collected over period one year following earthquake, obtained through in-depth interviews (n = 52), focus group, review secondary sources. A framework that...
Major conceptual and empirical advances over the past three decades have clarified how natural hazard events interact with community human exposures vulnerabilities to create risks that then become emergencies, disasters, or in worst combinations, catastrophes. However, corresponding disaster risk reduction (DRR) knowledge technology exist significantly lessen impacts of events, but many countries, including United States, it requires major policy changes implementation actions by public...
This article contributes to the disaster diplomacy literature in examining conditions under which disasters can lead long-term disaster-related collaboration (e.g. response, recovery or risk reduction) at both governmental and non-governmental level among states conflict.

Results slowed down growth but gradually recovered following disaster. After controlling for characteristics, areas that received more federal government...
Abstract Scholars across disciplines use simulation methods as tools to build theories; however, the full potential of has not been fully used for building theories in convergence disaster research. Simulation could provide four unique opportunities First, help researchers model underlying mechanisms phenomena by enabling integration qualitative and quantitative data. Second, they specify characterize affecting specific facilitating empirical information with existing theoretical elements...
Abstract One of the most pressing governance challenges around globe is managing disasters and their underlying risk factors. Little known about effective strategies to minimize burnout posttraumatic stress disorder among practitioners involved in addressing this challenge, especially countries that rely mainly on international aid agencies for delivery basic services citizens.
