Abstract

Households in the coastal areas are more vulnerable to various environmental, social, and economic disruptions in terms of an intersectionality point of view. As a first step in mitigating potential effects on families, knowing how susceptible they are and, ideally, fortifying themselves against existing and potential disruptions is essential. Vulnerability and adaptive capacity could not be uniformly distributed between households owing to gender-based socio-economic disparities and inequities. This research, thereby, examined the vulnerability and adaptive capacity variation between households headed by males and females in the two coastal areas of an emerging economy like Bangladesh. This study utilized the Evaluation-based on the Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method and Boosted Regression Trees (BRT) technique to conduct the analysis. The EDAS method has been used to analyze the adaptive capacity index. Using BRT, an innovative approach in the area, we showed that male and female-headed households are different in terms of their capability to adapt. The findings from this study suggest that the households led by females are more vulnerable than those headed by males in the study region across a variety of dimensions (social, health, economic, housing, and land ownership) from an intersectionality perspective. The study findings can provide a new outlook for the decision-makers in the coastal region on the vulnerability and adaptive capacity differences among the residents and thus lead to more efficient disaster management practices.

从交叉性角度看沿海易受灾地区基于性别的脆弱性和适应能力
从交叉性的角度来看,沿海地区的家庭更容易受到各种环境、社会和经济干扰的影响。作为减轻对家庭的潜在影响的第一步,了解他们的易受影响程度,并在理想情况下加强自身能力以抵御现有和潜在的干扰是至关重要的。由于基于性别的社会经济差异和不平等,脆弱性和适应能力不可能在家庭之间统一分布。因此,本研究探讨了在孟加拉国这样一个新兴经济体的两个沿海地区,男户主家庭和女户主家庭在脆弱性和适应能力方面的差异。本研究采用了基于平均解距离的评估(EDAS)方法和增强回归树(BRT)技术进行分析。EDAS 方法用于分析适应能力指数。利用 BRT 这一该地区的创新方法,我们发现男户主家庭和女户主家庭在适应能力方面存在差异。研究结果表明,从交叉性的角度来看,在研究地区,女性户主家庭在社会、健康、经济、住房和土地所有权等多个方面都比男性户主家庭更加脆弱。研究结果可以为沿海地区的决策者提供关于居民脆弱性和适应能力差异的新视角,从而制定更有效的灾害管理措施。

期刊介绍: Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
