Abstract

As damage and loss caused by natural hazards have increased worldwide over the past several decades, it is important for governments and aid agencies to have tools that enable effective post-disaster livelihood recovery to create self-sufficiency for the affected population. This study employs a comparative case study with a mixed method to compare the critical factors affecting livelihood recovery following disasters. Data were collected following the 2013 Lushan earthquake in China and the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake in New Zealand. The results show that the common factors from the comparative case study given by the respondents from both Lushan in China and Kaikōura in New Zealand are “community safety”, “availability of family support”, “level of community cohesion”, “external housing recovery support”, “level of a housing recovery”, and “availability of health and wellbeing support”. Factors that are only in Lushan include “access to income generation assets”, “level of community participation in decision making”, and "availability of skills training programmes”. Factors that are in Kaikōura not in Lushan included “effective governance”, "availability of social welfare support from the government”, and “distance to scenic spots”. Based on the differences and similarities between different factors, this study suggests various stakeholders require more international knowledge and policy sharing, effective communicative mechanisms and the promotion of livelihood transformation process.

确定影响灾后生计恢复的关键因素:中国和新西兰的比较分析
过去几十年来,自然灾害造成的破坏和损失在全球范围内不断增加,因此,政府和援助机构必须拥有能够有效恢复灾后生计的工具,使受灾人口能够自给自足。本研究采用混合方法进行比较案例研究,比较影响灾后生计恢复的关键因素。数据是在中国 2013 年芦山地震和新西兰 2016 年凯库拉地震后收集的。结果显示,中国芦山和新西兰Kaikōura的受访者在比较案例研究中给出的共同因素是 "社区安全"、"家庭支持的可用性"、"社区凝聚力水平"、"外部住房恢复支持"、"住房恢复水平 "以及 "健康和福利支持的可用性"。仅在庐山存在的因素包括 "获得创收资产的机会"、"社区参与决策的程度 "和 "技能培训计划的可用性"。开仓有而庐山没有的因素包括 "有效治理"、"政府提供的社会福利支持 "和 "距离风景名胜区的距离"。基于不同因素之间的异同,本研究建议各利益相关方需要更多的国际知识和政策共享、有效的沟通机制以及促进生计转型进程。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
