Research of this type mainly examines and analyzes livelihood resilience [96][97][98], vulnerability [99,100], and security status [101,102] of specific types of rural households Figure 13 demonstrates eight principal cluster groups. However, the SL research themes can be roughly divided into five categories by analyzing cluster network and high-frequency keywords.…”

Research of this type mainly examines and analyzes livelihood resilience [96][97][98], vulnerability [99,100], and security status [101,102] of specific types of rural households based on various models [103] and frameworks. Most of these articles adopt the sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA) developed by the Department of International Development, and use an evaluation index system [13,104] for the sake of improvement of livelihoods of rural communities.…”

Bibliometric Analysis of Trends in Global Sustainable Livelihood Research

The concept of sustainable livelihoods (SL) is one of the most important subjects of sustainable development, and is an important long-term goal for poverty alleviation. There has been growing interest in the nature and practical application of SL in recent decades. This paper applies bibliometric analysis to collect and analyze data on sustainable livelihoods from the expanded Science Citation index (SCIE) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Bibliometric maps can assist greatly in visualizing and summarizing large volumes of data and in studying scientific outputs. The findings offer insights into research trends pertaining to SL, such as these: (1) In recent decades there has been an increase in both the number of papers on SL and their scientific influence. (2) The most active journals are Sustainability, Ecology and Society, Land Use Policy, and International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology. (3) SL papers are distributed mainly in the fields of Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies, Ecology, Planning & Development, and Green & Sustainable Science & Technology. (4) The USA and UK are leaders in SL research as measured by both the quantity and quality of SL publications. Some developing countries, notably India and China, have seen an increase in SL publications in recent years. (5) Wageningen University in Netherlands, the Chinese Academy of Science, and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), headquartered in Indonesia, have had a major influence in the field of international SL research. (6) International cooperation has a positive effect on the growth of SL research, suggesting that there is a need for strengthening cooperation among countries, international institutions, and individuals. (7) Major areas of SL research (“hot topics”) are theoretical research on the SL concept; ecosystem conservation; poverty reduction in the poverty-stricken areas; the impact of climate change on livelihoods; and linkages between SL-related policies and institutional change.

“…Within the similar trajectories of CPs and OCs, we see how the state–citizen relationships perpetuate cycles of dependency, since they are based on the donation of food but not on the recognition of the labour carried out by women, nor on the strengthening of their capacities towards greater autonomy and self-reliance. Development policies and humanitarian aid have a donor-driven approach that limits the capacity building of those at the receiving end, generating dependency and the inability to achieve self-sufficiency (Crawford, 2011; Forsythe, 2009; Kihato & Landau, 2020). The relationships between CPs, OCs and different levels of government are similar in that they have ‘strengthened dependency ties with the government and favoured clientelist practices among its participants’ (Blondet et al, 2004, p. 45, translated by authors).…”

Collective Infrastructures of Care: Ollas Comunes Defying Food Insecurity During the COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of solidarity and care networks in withstanding crises. One example is the emergence of Ollas Comunes (Common Pots, a type of community kitchen) in the peripheries of Lima, which highlighted the enormous need for spaces that promote, channel, and strengthen collective support. Consolidating these networks, and allowing them to prosper over time, constitutes an alternative aimed at improving the living conditions of marginal groups, a crucial task in reducing urban inequalities. Co-production occurred at multiple scales: from local implementations of community kitchens to the design of urban networks for agriculture, water and sanitation, and food production. Collective innovation happened in technical terms towards promoting the efficient use of renewable resources (extending the concept of care to the care of the territory and the environment) and in the formulation of alternative governance in the maintenance and repair of the implemented infrastructure towards a renewed sense of citizenship.

“…This, combined with an immediate, singular focus on the area directly affected by the current disaster, contributes to the tendency to overlook longer term or systemic issues (Burnell and Sanderson 2011 ; Clermont et al . 2011 ; Crawford 2011 ) as well as the broader environmental context (Davis 2011 ). The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), an entity charged with coordinating shelter relief after natural disasters, describes recovery as including“--a process of ‘sheltering’ done by affected households with different materials, technical, financial and social assistance…”.…”

Resilience in Pre-Columbian Caribbean House-Building: Dialogue Between Archaeology and Humanitarian Shelter

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper responds to questions posed by archaeologists and engineers in the humanitarian sector about relationships between shelter, disasters and resilience. Enabled by an increase in horizontal excavations combined with high-resolution settlement data from excavations in the Dominican Republic, the paper presents a synthesis of Caribbean house data spanning a millennium (1400 BP- 450 BP). An analysis of architectural traits identify the house as an institution that constitutes and catalyses change in an emergent and resilient pathway. The “Caribbean architectural mode” emerged in a period of demographic expansion and cultural transition, was geographically widespread, different from earlier and mainland traditions and endured the hazards of island and coastal ecologies. We use archaeological analysis at the house level to consider the historical, ecological and regional dimensions of resilience in humanitarian action
