This document lists the names of presenters and theories related to social construction views of vulnerability in disaster management. It discusses decision making theory, technology, sustainability, economic theory, organizational behavior, system theory, development theory, compliance model of evaluation, and Weberian perspective of emergency management. It provides examples of how each theory incorporates social and human factors to understand vulnerability to hazards.
Social construction views
- 2. Name of the presenter Md yasin Ali asad Avijit ghosh Mezbah Ahmed Sumon Md Bayzid Matin Milton Dastider Minmma Nazia Al amin Ziniya Zafrin
- 3. Vulnerability is a concept that is directly related to the social construction viewpoint which is so prevalent in todays scholarship Vulnerability does not neglect hazards because there can be no vulnerability without hazards (i.e., you must be vulnerable to something - an earthquake, industrial explosion or terrorist attack) However, the social construction school explicitly shifts paradigms from hazards (which we cannot control) to the role of humans in disasters (i.e., our degree of vulnerability to a hazard or several hazards, which we can and do determine on a daily basis)
- 4. Some relevant theories which support social construction views those are: Decision making theory- Minmma Technology-Shahinoor Sustainability Economic Theory- Organizational Behavior- Mezbah System theory- Bayzid Development Theory- Al amin Compliance model of evaluation- Nazia Weberian perspective of emergency management- Milton Risk Perception & communication
- 5. Some relevant theories which support social construction views those are: Sustainability perspective- Zafrin
- 6. Decision Making Theory: 1.Decision making is very important to reduce the loss of any society at disastrous events. 2.Decisions only could be made on clear and proper information. 3.By making right decision on the accurate time ,the risk is minimized, the level of social vulnerability get lower.
- 8. Nuclear, Chemical & technological Disaster 1. Chernobyl reactor exclusion (1986) 2. Three mile Island Reactor(1979) 3. Bhopal disaster(1984)(Methyl isocyanides Gas leaked, 8000 people died) 4. Radiation Leak in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant(2011) (Tsunami generated earthquake) 5. Earthquake may cause the collapse of oil-producing infrastructures resulting in the release of oil into the sea or on land, depending on whether it is offshore or onshore platform. Excessive development of modern infrastructure Excessive and unplanned development made Dhaka most vulnerable city for earthquake and fires. The violation of building codes and defiance of safety issues during construction of high-rises have exposed around 18 million people in and around the capital vulnerable to fires and earthquakes. Technology
- 9. Economic Theory: Economic solvency is related to Social construction views as human and its income has an positive and negative impact in Disaster management. Economic solvency is key here. Weberian perspective theory: As culture , values and Norms completely depends on people or human being or Individual perception so it refers to the vulnerability which relates to Social construction views.
- 10. System Theory: Social constructionist views also can connected with system theory because, both of these theories addressing many influencing variables ( Like ; natural, technological, political, culture, Gender, race ,education, organizational, and psychological environments) in a complicated ways but its basically based on social perspective like our culture, norms, values, customs, and institutional practice etc. Up to Sidr, people in coastal areas in Bangladesh especially women's were lag behind from men to going cyclone shelter because of social culture and practice. After sidr women were come forward and some cases they are more advanced than men. This system theory helps to predict the level of vulnerability and thus communities people who are the under risk.
- 11. Societal Injustice Theory Sustainability perspective Compares Disasters are brought upon some humans By Other humans. Environmental Degradation may Create additional vulnerability in the future. Human activities mostly responsible for environmental Degradation. Example: Global warming Deforestation Manufactured products Energy industry Ocean acidification Ozone depletion Water degradation Effects: Extreme weather events Increase in average temperatures and temperature extremes,Ice melt, Sea levels and ocean acidification, Plants animal/Social effects
- 12. Compliance model of evacuation: Social constructionist theory shows us the role of human during disasters. And later, during analyzing the compliance model of evacuation we have seen that there is also have a strong role of the responders during disaster. They play an extraordinary role by reducing vulnerability, thus mass casualties. So, from my perspective compliance model of evacuation is a part of social constructionist theory
- 13. Organizational Behavior: Role of human during disaster organization view other variables are : natural, technological, political, cultural gender, race and psychological environment. Organizational behavior may translated into a disaster where 100 of employee may lost their lives in the line of duty.
