“…There was a great amount of help available in identifying PAVs and their nature and dynamics. Several case studies (Mallick et al 2011;Mallick and Vogt 2014;Islam and Walkerden 2015;Abdullah et al 2016) helped to identify the root causes of vulnerabilities, dynamic pressures, and possible reduction measures. FGDs with local people helped validate the root causes of endemic problems, clarified the overall PAV context, and finalized indicators of PAVR measures.…”

“…Community-based organizations have limited capability to carry out emergency evacuation and response. This restricted ability is due to capital constraints, both financial and technical, and poor social networking (Islam and Walkerden 2015;Saha C. 2015). Together these deficiencies ultimately weakened the ability of community organizations to respond to a regional disaster.…”

“…Lacking meaningful local authority and control, most communities could not prevent illegal embankment breaching. Capacity development of social organizations and linking, bridging, and networking social capital (Nakagawa and Shaw 2004;Islam and Walkerden 2015) are keys to promoting and achieving PAVR. Capacity development of community-based organizations to ensure participation in water management is another key measure to realize PAVR.…”

The need to consider disaster risk reduction at the time of recovery is well-recognized. Viable disaster risk reduction measures should resolve the root causes of predisaster vulnerabilities. Accordingly, we investigated the recovery from the impact of Cyclone Aila in Koyra Upazila, Bangladesh, which was severely damaged by this 2009 cyclone. Our research focused on understanding pre-Aila vulnerabilities to cyclone impact and examined the degree of inclusion of vulnerability reduction measures within the recovery process. A composite methodology that included an institutional survey, key informant interviews, collection of the judgment of experts, focus group discussions, and a score-based quantification technique was adopted. Through a process of understanding pre-Aila vulnerabilities, recognition of the root causes of these inherent weaknesses, and identification of appropriate measures for pre-Aila vulnerability reduction, a set of 23 indicators were selected to represent the most desirable vulnerability reduction measures to implement during recovery. A score-based technique was applied to measure the degree of inclusion of vulnerability reduction within the recovery with respect to the indicators. The scoring result shows that the degree of inclusion of vulnerability reduction within the recovery was poor. The result specifies that among the 23 indicators of potential vulnerability reduction measures, 10 are completely missing and the rest are only partially included. The overall findings imply that the Koyra community continues to live with a vulnerability similar to that of the pre-Aila period.

“…It has been argued by scholars that linking social capital has a more vital role in affecting the immediate and mid-term rebuilding process in a disaster context. (Rossing et al, 2010;Atkinson, 2014;Bhandari, 2014;Islam and Walkerden, 2015;Rubin, 2016;Nakazato and Lim, 2017;Vachette et al, 2017;Hillig and Connell, 2018) However, the segregation of social capital into these three categories are at times unhelpful, especially in the immediate aftermath of a major disaster. Due to the disaster, institutions together with structures and networks, were fundamentally compromised.…”

Typhoon Yolanda brought major devastation to the local communities and infrastructure and also reshaped social structures and networks in the Philippines.During the immediate recovery process, bridging, bonding and linking social capital have had differential impacts and outcomes on how communities cope with the aftermath of the disaster. This paper investigates the interplay between the various types of social capital and their contributions to immediate coping strategies of Typhoon Yolanda communities. This paper also evaluates the complexity of defining social capital in a disaster context. In particular, it unpacks the blurring of the bridging and linking social capital at the immediate stage of rehabilitation in a post disaster context and its impacts on the social fabric of the communities. We deduce from this case study the social capital strategies necessary for a speedy recovery process both economically and socially for disaster-affected communities.

“…En este contexto, las redes sociales se han convertido en una canal de comunicación ideal para las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG), posibilitando difundir el contenido de sus mensajes sobre problemas sociales y que estos puedan llegar ISSN: 1696-019X / e-ISSN: 2386-3978 a un público objetivo más amplio (Islam y Walkerden, 2015;Zhou y Pan, 2016). Además, las redes sociales van a permitir a las ONG una comunicación más participativa y directa con la ciudadanía (Arroyo et al, 2013).…”
