Abstract

Researchers commonly employ the concept of social capital to examine how people engage with disaster risk reduction. This approach has generated useful knowledge to improve the effectiveness of disaster risk reduction for the general population. However, disaster risk reduction knowledge and practices designed for the general population might not speak to Vietnamese migrants because they do not reflect Vietnamese cultural practices and norms. This paper contributes to the literature by presenting findings from a narrative inquiry into Vietnamese migrants’ experiences of disaster risk reduction in the Wellington Region, Aotearoa New Zealand. The participants’ narratives suggest that Vietnamese migrants employ bonding and bridging social capital to gain knowledge about natural hazards and disaster risk reduction. Their disaster risk reduction reflects certain socio-cultural norms and values as well as family and gender dynamics among Vietnamese migrants. The findings also indicate that, for Vietnamese migrants who do not have well-established social networks, social capital-based disaster risk reduction might be less effective.
越南移民参与减少灾害风险:社会资本的相关性
研究人员通常采用社会资本的概念来研究人们如何参与减少灾害风险的活动。这种方法产生了有用的知识,提高了为普通民众减少灾害风险的效果。然而,为普通民众设计的减灾知识和实践可能并不适合越南移民,因为它们并不反映越南的文化习俗和规范。本文通过对新西兰奥特亚罗瓦惠灵顿地区越南移民的减灾经验进行叙事调查,为相关文献做出了贡献。从参与者的叙述中可以看出,越南移民利用纽带和桥梁社会资本来获取有关自然灾害和减少灾害风险的知识。他们减少灾害风险的行为反映了越南移民的某些社会文化规范和价值观,以及家庭和性别动态。研究结果还表明,对于那些没有完善社会网络的越南移民来说,基于社会资本的减灾效果可能较差。

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.
