Part 2 is related to the governance and management of disaster risks. There
are three chapters in this part based on studies in Indonesia, Nepal, and South
Africa. Chapter 9 is on Understanding Social-Mediated Disaster and Risk Communication with Topic Model, by Xianlin Jina. It reviews the literature on disaster
and risk communication along with the introduction of the Crisis and Emergency
Risk Communication model (CERC). This chapter highlights the importance of
utilizing big data tools to unpack the conundrum of social-mediated disaster and
risk communication.
Chapter 10 is titled Integrating Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning into Municipal
Planning Process: Experience from Nepal, by Hada et al. This chapter focuses on how
to effectively enhance collaborative, participatory and interactive approach for risksensitive land use planning, and fully integrate into a mandatory planning process.
The research is to postulate a framework that enables collaborative, participatory,
and iterative approach for the implementation of the RSLUP through integration in
municipal development plan.
Chapter 11 is titled Counting Down to Day Zero: Exploring Community-based
Water Management Strategies in Western Cape Province Drought, South Africa
(2017/2018), by Vhumbunu. This research explored the various community-based
water conservation and water management strategies employed in the face of the
Western Cape Province Drought that occurred in the season period of 2017/2018.
The chapter recommends the strengthening of community-based water management
strategies through the involvement of Government and non-state actors as well as
prioritization and alignment of community-based water management strategies with
municipal, provincial, national and global frameworks, and plans on disaster management and climate change adaptation so as to facilitate more robust coordination
drought risk mitigation, responses, and preparedness.
Part 3 discusses the emerging topics in DRR research such as post-disaster
recovery and reconstruction, build-back-better approach, public health, role of
young scientists, multi-stakeholder engagement, gender, and roles of indigenous
knowledge. Chapter 12 is Climate Change Impacts on Health and the potential
of Primary Health Care (PHC) for Adaptation: A Case Study of Kemijen Village,
Semarang, Indonesia, by Dwinantoaji et al. The aim of the study was to explore the
adaptation strategies the Kemijen communities take to reduce the negative effects of
floods on the human health. It is found that Primary Health Care (PHC) implemented
by health cadres plays an important role in preparing for extreme events, monitoring,
and responding to infectious disease outbreaks due to changing patterns of vectorand water-borne diseases by providing extra support for communities.
Chapter 13 is Capacity building for Community resilience: Lessons learnt from
risk-informed development planning in Sri Lanka, by Saja. The Sri Lanka Community Resilience Framework (CRF) has been the driving concept behind the risksensitive approach in development planning. The state officials at the sub-national
(district) levels were trained as trainers on CRF and risk-sensitive development planning process. The community-level state staff officials and local government officers were then trained by district state officials through cascade training programs.
