This article describes the gender mainstreaming based community approach in Polaman Village, Mijen District in reducing the risk of non-natural disasters for the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used the quantitative approach and data collection technique by interviewing 3 community representatives and distributing questionnaires to 24 households. Assessment of gender mainstreaming indicators used the scoring analysis with 5 indicators, i.e., access, benefits, participation, control and inclusion. The results showed that Kampung Siaga Candi Hebat was formed through the establishment of a food storehouse to help meet the needs of food security during the pandemic, freshwater cultivation through involving people affected by layoffs, and the construction of a health center as a monitoring facility, and an isolation accommodation for residents affected by the Covid-19 virus. However, in the management of residential spaces, impediments were still found in terms of lack of availability and management of existing green public spaces and the lack of management integration of waterways, water disposal and garbage. In conclusion, the control aspect was found to be the most influential, with a contribution value of 21% out of 75%. Accordingly, accustomization of the gender mainstreaming approach showed a value of 75% which can be considered quite effective.

This book aims to examine the role of the mosque as a communitybased religious institution in disaster situations. To achieve this aim, two research questions were addressed. The first examined the role of the mosque in relation to the key actors from the state, civil society and the private sector during the response, relief, recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. The second explored the potential roles of the mosque in similar situations in the future. A case study of the district of Mansehra in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan was presented. Using qualitative research methods, a broad range of actors in disaster management, such as earthquake-affected communities, imams, representatives of civil society organisations, people from the private sector and government organisations, shed light on the above questions.This chapter discusses the findings of this book concerning the literature on disaster management about the role of community-based religious institutions in the context of post-development theory. This chapter concludes and illustrates the distinct contribution of this book to the body of knowledge. Before this research, the role of the mosque had mostly been hidden, undocumented, underestimated and unacknowledged.

“…Ensuring actions to address the needs and capacities of marginalized groups like women, children, persons with disabilities, and elderly people will ensure strengthening of overall resilience [13]. Previous studies found that disasters create impacts on men and women differently, with a possibility of bringing long-term negative consequences for women due to the roles women have to play during emergencies [14,15]. As women differ due to causes like lack of economic opportunity, inequity in resource distribution, and limited decisionmaking power, etc., women face the impacts of disasters differently [15,16].…”

The main purpose of this study was to assess the level of community flood resilience with a special focus on gender. A gender perspective ensures the representation of diversified voices in the study. From concept development to data representation, all the steps were completed ensuring gender-based inclusion. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to conduct the study. A total of 402 responses were analyzed as the sample. A linear structured questionnaire was developed by using a five-point Likert scale to collect quantitative data. As part of the qualitative tool, in-depth observation was used in the study. The study found that female members of the community lag in terms of disaster resilience comparing to their male counterparts. The scores in different components of resilience assessment framework indicate that there are gaps in terms of level of resilience from the gender perspective. The same disaster can create a disproportionate level of impact on women and men due to an unequal level of resilience. The study indicates that assessing community disaster resilience and introducing resilience enhancement interventions should focus on a gender-based approach.
