Abstract

The geographic overlap between disasters and armed conflict is substantial, making disaster resilience intrinsically linked to conflict exposure. Despite this, there is only a very small literature investigating how armed conflict impacts disaster risk and resilience in affected areas. This article reviews the most recent literature on armed conflict and disaster resilience and shows that while disasters can increase the risk of violent outcomes in contexts where governments and populations are particularly vulnerable to their impacts, these very features are also influenced by the presence of armed conflict. Thus, the relationship is circular, and conflict and disaster risk reinforce each other, and should not be dealt with separately. The review provides an overview for scholars and practitioners who wish to assess the current understanding of how disasters and conflicts impact affected communities’ resilience.

受冲突影响地区的抗灾能力:审查武装冲突如何影响抗灾能力

灾害与武装冲突在地理上有很大的重叠，这使得灾害复原力与冲突风险有着内在的联系。尽管如此，只有非常少的文献调查武装冲突如何影响受灾地区的灾害风险和复原力。本文回顾了关于武装冲突和抗灾能力的最新文献，并表明，虽然在政府和民众特别容易受到灾害影响的情况下，灾害可能增加暴力后果的风险，但这些特征也受到武装冲突的影响。因此，这种关系是循环的，冲突和灾害风险是相辅相成的，不应该分开处理。这篇综述为希望评估目前对灾害和冲突如何影响社区恢复力的理解的学者和实践者提供了一个概述。
