Ishiwatari","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2484742","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2484742","url":null,"abstract":"Transport infrastructure redevelopment is needed in post-conflict situations to smoothly resettle people displaced by armed conflicts and to handle the increased flow of goods and people. This chapter will propose ways to improve planning methods for transport redevelopment in post-conflict reconstruction. The development assistance project to restore and enhance inland water transport (IWT) in post-conflict Southern Sudan demonstrates that IWT plays a crucial role in reconstruction and that IWT can expand services with a small investment more easily than road transport. This chapter refutes the widespread perception that IWT is a minor mode of transportation because of its disadvantages relative to land transport in terms of time and network scales. It first examines the use of IWT in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Korea, followed by a review of the redevelopment of IWT for disaster management in Japan and the lessons learned from relief and rehabilitation activities following the Kobe earthquake (also known as the Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake). These lessons are then applied to the rehabilitation of IWT in postconflict Southern Sudan. The chapter further discusses the challenges of capacity development for new government agencies that have been established following conflicts, which often have limited capacities for managing facilities.","PeriodicalId":131045,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment and Disaster Management","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127188002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence suggests a wide range of climate change impacts in Indian agriculture and water sectors. Most important ones being severe reduction in crop production due to a combination of factors such as warming, incidence of pests and diseases, changes in rainfall patterns, and reduction in freshwater sources for irrigation. Information that is useful for initiating action by various stakeholders involved in agriculture and water sectors is very poor. Lack of vulnerability assessment tools, awareness at the extension level, focused research, financial and human resources, political and institutional rigidity, inaccessible data, and absence of proper knowledge management systems are some of the key barriers. Overcoming these barriers requires a set of policies, institutional reforms and investments in capacity building, and deploying tools for vulnerability and risk assessments and for monitoring and evaluating adaptation interventions.","PeriodicalId":131045,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Environment and Disaster Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115982603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
