“…Solastalgia is the discomfort caused by environmental change in people when they are closely attached to their home environment, as opposed to nostalgia, which is the melancholia or homesickness felt by individuals when away from a cherished home [37]. More study is needed to properly understand the social and emotional consequences of veld fires on Greek residents [17,28,38]. Some of the most serious fire fatalities registered over the years (with total deaths of more than fifty people) and that are associated with several social-economic impacts are presented in Table 1 from the International Disaster Database (EM-DAT) [39].…”

One of the most common forest disturbances, fire, has a significant influence on the people, societies, economies, and environment of countries all over the world. This study explores the different environmental and socioeconomic effects of forest fires to establish priorities for countries in battling and mitigating the harmful effects of forest fires based on data collected from 382 professionals working in Greece’s forestry and agriculture sectors. Secondary data, especially from Statista, were further utilized to enhance the analytical comparisons and conclusions of this study. Wildfires in Greece destroy agricultural land and greatly impact the rural economy and community. This study showed that forest fires have led to several economic costs, mainly affecting the incomes of different investors in the forest sector in Greece. It was revealed that the overall cost of a fire is determined by the direct and indirect expenditures as well as the price of fire control and preventative methods. Direct expenses are broken down into two categories: direct damage that occurs immediately and direct losses that are caused immediately after a fire. Governments should take the initiative to create and expand bilateral and/or multilateral cooperation and coordination, as well as exchange necessary financial resources, technology, and training, to reduce the effects of forest fires in a fragile international man-made and natural environment.

“…The concept of protective forests, which originated in the European Alpine region but exists in similar form in other regions of the world, aims to mitigate mountain hazards, such as avalanches, landslides and rockfall and is based on the slope-stabilizing properties of forests, which can be combined with gray measures such as protective walls and fences [24]. Integrated fire management aims to reduce wildfire risk by integrating ecosystem-based and gray infrastructure and nonstructural measures, such as early warning systems [25,26]. These three approaches can be referred to as NbS for DRR in the strict sense, since DRR is their primary goal, while the approaches described below may have DRR as a subsidiary target or generate additional benefits for DRR.…”

“…In contrast to these models, Barberis and Fontana (2017) argued for the need to design RDD plans in which the coordinated work of all actors converges. Therefore, many professionals and policymakers recognize the need to develop more proactive, community-centered, and integrated fire management throughout the entire risk management cycle: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery (Myers 2006;Rego et al 2010). Thus, there is a move away from the paradigm of total suppression and recognition of the need to strengthen long-term prevention and preparedness (Birot 2009;Dunn et al 2020).…”

Building Forest Fires Resilience, the Incorporation of Local Knowledge into Disaster Mitigation Strategies

The severity of the socio-economic, political, and ecological damage caused by forest fires each year requires action plans for disaster risk reduction (DRR). Despite efforts made to incorporate participatory mechanisms into risk governance, much of the research on disaster risk reduction in academia is conducted under the deficit model. This paper proposes public engagement as a mechanism for incorporating community-based knowledge, experiences, and practices into DRR plans. Based on the case study of forest fires in Galicia (Spain), developed within the MITIGACT project, we explore, through the analysis of in-depth interviews, how forest fires are defined, how disaster management plans are evaluated and what concrete proposals are considered. The results highlight the need to strengthen social governance at the local level and to balance the resources dedicated to the three phases of prevention, extinction, and recovery, moving from a linear to a circular model.
