Owing to the increasing impact of disasters worldwide, there is a recognised need for putting theory into relevant and effective practice in disaster risk reduction (DRR). Substantial research has been oriented on reducing loss of life, injury, livelihoods and infrastructure disruption. In this paper, we gathered the main insights derived from the reflections of the earlier work of authors or co-authors of frameworks for understanding disaster risk.
The findings add to our understanding of how bridging the gap between science and policymaking to manage disaster risk is shaped. This review showed evidence that disaster risk research and interaction among relevant DRR stakeholders have evolved. The degree of decisions, resource allocations and actions of state and non-state actors are influenced by applying such frameworks. However, limitations on resources in the policy-making spheres may require prioritisation but also new challenges in terms of responsibility, accountability and effective disaster risk governance.
由于全球灾害的影响日益增加,人们认识到需要将理论应用于减少灾害风险(DRR)的相关有效实践中。大量研究致力于减少生命损失、伤害、生计破坏和基础设施中断。在本文中,我们收集了从理解灾害风险框架的作者或共同作者早期工作的思考中得出的主要见解。
这些发现增进了我们对如何弥合科学与决策之间的差距以管理灾害风险的理解。这项综述表明,灾害风险研究以及相关DRR利益相关者之间的互动已经有所发展。国家和非国家行为体的决策、资源分配和行动程度受到应用此类框架的影响。然而,决策领域的资源限制可能需要进行优先排序,但在责任、问责制和有效的灾害风险治理方面也带来了新挑战。
