Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to understand the potential of serious gaming as an imaginative and creative method to collect data in disaster studies that address key concerns such as extractive research, power inequalities, and bridging the theory-practice gap in exploring post-disaster recovery.

Design/methodology/approach

Novel serious gaming approach deployed to connect theory-practice by identifying and co-analysing post-disaster recovery gaps in a workshop setting.

Findings

The serious game has value in bridging theory-practice divides, identifying and exploring gaps/solutions in post-flood recovery, and serving as a novel social science research approach for disaster studies.

Practical implications

Outlining a dialogic approach to knowledge construction between academics, practitioners, policymakers and community voices on post-disaster recovery.

Social implications

Fostering collaboration and knowledge construction on post-disaster recovery gaps across stakeholders is valuable in improving disaster resilience strategies that benefit communities affected by disasters.

Originality/value

The paper proposes a creative and co-developed serious game method of data collection for disaster studies.

通过严肃游戏探索和调查灾后恢复差距

目的本研究旨在了解严肃游戏作为一种富有想象力和创造力的方法，在灾害研究中收集数据的潜力，以解决提取性研究、权力不平等以及在探索灾后恢复过程中弥合理论与实践差距等关键问题。设计/方法/途径采用新颖的严肃游戏方法，通过在工作坊环境中确定和共同分析灾后恢复的差距，将理论与实践联系起来。社会意义促进利益相关者之间的合作和灾后恢复差距方面的知识建构，对于改进灾害复原战略、造福受灾社区具有重要价值。
