“…Reconstruction is identified as activities related to demolition, construction, and the recycling and removal of debris from disaster sites (Coles, Zhuang, and Yates, ; Montgomery, ). These actions also are synonymous with community‐driven town planning (Allen, ; Kubo et al, ; Fois and Forino, ) and with direct involvement in the procurement and design of housing (Kovács, Matopoulos, and Hayes, ; Chang et al, ).…”

“…In addition, increasing effort has been made to understand the barriers and challenges to implementing successful HL operations. Studies have addressed myriad complications, such as: coordination and collaboration between stakeholders; communication problems and impediments to information sharing (Maiers, Reynolds, and Haselkorn, 2005;Comfort, 2007;Bharosa, Lee, and Janssen, 2009;Takasaki, 2011;Day et al, 2012); the intricacies and uncertainties of disaster settings; and the difficulties in bridging cultural gaps during humanitarian operations (Pettit and Beresford, 2009;Balcik et al, 2010;Stumpenhorst, Stumpenhorst, and Razum, 2011;Coles, Zhuang, and Yates, 2012). Consequently, there have been calls for greater transparency in and cost effectiveness of humanitarian operations and a closer examination of whether or not the needs of disaster-affected communities are being met (Saab, Maitland, and Tapia, 2008;Howden, 2009, Rodon, Maria Serrano, andGiménez, 2012).…”

A plethora of untapped resources exist within disaster-affected communities that can be used to address relief and development concerns. A systematic review of the literature relating to community participation in humanitarian logistics activities revealed that communities are able to form ad hoc networks that have the ability to meet a wide range of disaster management needs. These structures, characterised as Collaborative Aid Networks (CANs), have demonstrated efficient logistical capabilities exclusive of humanitarian organisations. This study proposes that CANs, as a result of their unique characteristics, present alternatives to established humanitarian approaches to logistics, while also mitigating the challenges commonly faced by traditional humanitarian organisations. Furthermore, CANs offer a more holistic, long-term approach to disaster management, owing to their impact on development through their involvement in humanitarian logistics. This research provides the foundation for further theoretical analysis of effective and efficient disaster management, and details opportunities for policy and practice.

Abstract. The recurrence of disasters, sometimes in the same territories, questioned the effectiveness of the preventive logic and of the post-disaster recovery process. The present reconstruction approach aims at analysing the interactions between risk, societies and territories. The study of the recovery process in a holistic way through a medium and long-term feedback defines its operating rules, and its "good and bad practices" regarding the objectives of risk reduction and sustainable development. The lack of anticipation, the numerous uncertainties and the emergency in which the decisions are taken, lead in many cases, to risk persistence and increased social gaps. When "preventive ethics" is integrated into the process, it remains occasional and marginal. Reconstruction does not start from a "zero state"; it is subjected to territorial, economic and political constraints. Thus, in order to make the postdisaster reconstruction a preventive opportunity, an anticipatory effort is needed -though necessarily limited -it must be accompanied by an ex-post planning. These considerations will be illustrated by the examples of the recovery of two French departments: the Aude department after the 12 th and 13 th November 1999 floods, and the Var department after the 15 th and 16 th June 2010 floods.

“…In addition, Christian churches have carried out many activities in disaster relief during the disaster recovery phase. For example, churchgoers have provided emergency food, sanitation work, psychological consultation, and mass care for those affected at disaster sites [54,55]. Hence, the efforts of Christian churches have been a typical case of care-oriented management, although less regard has been given to the disaster prevention/mitigation phase and the disaster preparation phase.…”

The Role of Religious Beliefs and Institutions in Disaster Management: A Case Study

Religions

Religion in Korea has been shaped by its followers to a degree, but the role of religion in Korea has been largely unexamined. This study examines the role of religion and the incorporation of religious beliefs and institutions in the field of disaster management. In doing so, the study examines how three religions-Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism-operate in Korea, in particular in terms of both care-oriented management and mitigation-oriented management approaches. While utilizing descriptive research as a methodology, policy measures have been suggested with the support of theological perspectives. Despite some difficulties in making a generalization, the major finding is that religion has a role to play in supplementing care-oriented management, with mitigation-oriented management approaches, by better grasping the nature of a disaster and its effective management while responding to regional culture. In addition, the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, local governments, and other government institutions must play new roles in incorporating religion in disaster management.
