Abstract

Governance systems, when addressing post-disaster action, play an important role in minimizing the community’s vulnerability in future disruptive events. The literature describes how post-disaster actions towards resistance-resilience measures are often implemented, shifting to adaptive-resilience approaches as a second concern, and disregarding resilience-transformative strategies. Two consecutive wildfires in the Centro Region (Portugal), in 2017, cut off access to the Services of General Interest (SGIs) and knocked off-balance the socioeconomic territorial structure and identity (the main impact was 116 mortal victims). In this paper, the media coverage of the phenomena during the 12 months following the disaster is analysed using a sample of 150 news articles published in two newspapers. The public discourses are indicative of the overall importance given to the impact and to the responses based on resistance-resilience measures. Moreover, the theoretical and practical challenges for the policy design and organization of the governance systems in post-disaster contexts is discussed.

2017年野火后，葡萄牙中部地区的危机后复原治理

在处理灾后行动时，治理系统在尽量减少社区在未来破坏性事件中的脆弱性方面发挥着重要作用。文献描述了灾后如何实施抵抗-恢复措施，将适应-恢复方法作为第二个关注点，而忽视恢复转型战略。2017年，葡萄牙中部地区连续发生两起野火，切断了对一般利益服务(sgi)的访问，破坏了社会经济领土结构和身份的平衡(主要影响是116名死亡人员)。在本文中，使用在两家报纸上发表的150篇新闻文章的样本，分析了灾难发生后12个月内媒体对这一现象的报道。公共话语表明了对影响和基于抵抗-恢复措施的反应的总体重要性。此外，本文还讨论了灾后环境下治理系统的政策设计和组织所面临的理论和实践挑战。
