The Project Management Institute (1987) considers a project as a unique transient endeavor undertaken to achieve a desired outcome.…”

In the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the Gaza Strip has suffered regular cycles of reconstruction due to systematic destruction during Israeli military operations, as in 2006, 2008-2009, 2012, and 2014. In this context of ongoing conflict this article aims to identify, rank, and discuss the most important factors influencing post-disaster reconstruction project management (PDRPM) for housing in the Gaza Strip. A set of key factors that influence PDRPM were assembled as a result of a global literature review. A questionnaire survey was conducted, and the obtained data were analyzed using a relative importance index for each PDRPM factor. Findings are presented in six groups: housing approaches, organizational behavior, project funding, supply chain and logistics, communication and coordination, and PDRPM context. Findings indicate that the most significant factors that influence PDRPM for housing provision in the Gaza Strip are related to issues associated with financial resources. It is critical that sufficient funding should be available in order to allow organizations to undertake housing projects in an effective and efficient way. Joint efforts are required from international donors and local organizations in order to effectively manage financial resources with the ultimate goal of improving PDRPM for housing provision.

“…Management can support information technology by evaluating and deciding on the adoption or upgrade of information technology. In addition, good management support can be rendered in many ways, for example, by aiding auditors to overcome obstacles, exhibiting commitment to operate and encouraging staff to work effectively (Ismail, Majid, Roosli & Ab Samah 2014). Thus, internal auditors play an important role in monitoring a company's risk profile, and identifying and predicting areas where risk management can be improved (Goodwin & Yeo 2001).…”

“…Meanwhile, whether a disaster is major or minor, or of national or local proportions, the people in the community suffer most of its adverse effects [2]. Disaster management initiatives, policies, and frameworks are designed and implemented as well as other community based activities are carried out by governments, along with other effective stakeholders like non-government organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations; all aimed at empowering communities in one way or another [3]. For materializing the success of disaster management paradigms, any of these initiatives requires disaster risk reduction in its most genuine sense.…”

Awareness Workshop as an Effective Tool and Approach for Education in Disaster Risk Reduction: A Case Study from Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract:The core of empowering a community to become more resilient is rooted in disaster risk reduction and its education imparted using various educational tools, mainly through awareness and training programs. Conveying the available knowledge resources to the community by transforming it in a way that matches the local context in order to build a "culture of safety" is the hardest matter to be dealt with. It becomes the responsibility of the disaster management experts, concerned authorities, and researchers to focus more on disaster education by making the resources available to vulnerable communities. Taking this into account, this paper discusses an educational tool prepared for conducting awareness workshops. The paper particularly focuses on the educational tool application in the study area to illustrate its use in "real world" circumstances and to test its efficiency and limitations. It was found that such workshops can bring about a positive change in the level of understanding about disasters and the significance of disaster risk reduction measures. At the same time, it emphasizes that awareness generation is not a short-term affair. The sustainability of educational projects and programs is essential in inculcating disaster risk reduction as a part of people's life and culture.
