Using the framework, the present paper examines key challenges with post-disaster reconstruction practices through the experience of resettled colonies in Chennai. Disasters in Chennai have resulted in the relocation of households living in informal settlements to purpose-built resettlement colonies, which the resettlement agencies claim have better housing and built environment. These should contribute to the well-being of households. However, the results from a primary survey of households living in resettlement colonies conducted in 2021 that compare pre- and post-disaster capabilities demonstrate that there are a number of gaps. Fifty-eight per cent of households expressed that their condition is no different than what it was in informal settlements. This paper identifies that in the reconstruction and rehabilitation programme in Chennai, mechanisms for community participation, inclusive responses by involving women and marginalized households, long-term plan for the rehabilitation of affected persons and mechanisms for involving NGOs/CBOs have not been adequately incorporated. A consequence of the lack of a post-disaster reconstruction plan has been that most of the reconstruction activity has been ad hoc and reactive usually through government orders issued after a disaster. Resettlement is a complex issue, and it requires a balance between protecting the lives and livelihoods of those affected as these are tied to a location and protecting them from future disasters, the occurrence of which is also tied to location.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45214508","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}

In addition to the livelihood strategies of these communities living in the southern districts of the country, this article explores a symbiotic relationship among livelihoods, risks and natural resources in understanding the fishermen’s choice of locations in these vulnerable areas. We have adopted a mixed scientific approach method in collecting, analysing and summarizing obtained information. We have employed a triangulation schema in the study, that is, collected data from multiple sources to compare and use relevant methods to check consistencies. On analysing the data collected from field investigation, it can be concluded that a critical relationship exists among livelihoods, risks and the immobility of the fishermen community in the Sundarbans. Their non-migration can be explained between voluntary and non-voluntary movements depending on livelihoods, vulnerability and available resources. The findings reveal that households seek to mobilize resources and opportunities to combine them into a livelihood strategy which includes the following: (a) natural resource extraction; (b) diversified income generation; (c) borrowing and investment; (d) labour and asset pooling; and (e) social networking. Finally, this study concludes that this process of combining and transforming different assets for livelihood strategies can be explained as an autonomous adaptation process.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44870001","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}

Within the disadvantaged groups adversely affected by climate risks, women are disproportionately exposed, have higher levels of vulnerability and typically suffer the impacts because of cultural norms and their reproductive and productive roles. Although women play an important role in their family and community, they are generally ignored in climate change planning. This paper examines floods and flood-related impacts on urban women in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to demonstrate how women are vulnerable, as well as their responses and resilience to shocks and stress caused by current flood risks within their communities. Data were collected through in-depth case studies applying qualitative methods (observation and semi-structured interviews). The results illustrate that women are less resilient as they have less access to resources and limited support for incremental livelihood improvement. The opportunities to participate in adaptation planning are limited for women. The findings demonstrate that gender inequality still remains, although women could play an active and critical role in adaptation programmes. In order to enhance women’s resilience to climatic hazards, the paper argues that urban policy planning should empower women too in the decision-making process and promote diversified resources to strengthen their resilience to climatic hazards.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46913698","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}

The project was awarded to a group of technical experts who proposed housing designs that prioritized the aesthetic language of the model village (Roy, 2003). While they engaged in participatory models to establish frameworks for design, the authors of this article observe that the process of participation was largely a smokescreen exercise to ‘manipulate’ beneficiaries into choosing options that were reflective of the aesthetic values central to the project (Arnstein, 1969; Burawoy, 1979). By situating community participation within analytical frameworks of public participation, this article seeks to analyse how skewed power dynamics in beneficiary engagement resulted in circumvention of community needs in the Kannankund model village project. The findings of this article hold significance in informing housing and urban planning practices in projects where participatory processes are being invoked to engage with marginalized communities.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48842278","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}

Economic growth and development have significantly improved living standards. However, environmental degradation in the region has been significantly deteriorating. This study examines the long-term effects of renewable energy consumption, urbanization and financial development on environmental degradation in ASEAN countries from 1995 to 2020. Various econometric techniques are used, including the fully modified OLS, dynamic OLS, canonical cointegration regression and Ganger’s causality relationship. The empirical results indicate that increased renewable energy consumption and extended urbanization reduce environmental degradation. However, economic growth and financial development lead to increased environmental degradation. Granger’s causality relationship analysis confirms a bidirectional linkage between renewable energy consumption and urbanization, urbanization and financial development, and urbanization and environmental degradation. Financial development and urbanization also have a bidirectional causality relationship with economic growth. Finally, the results confirm a unilateral causality relationship between environmental degradation financial development and urbanization. The governments of the ASEAN countries will need to consider the significant roles of renewable energy usage and urbanization in their policies in achieving sustainable economic growth and development and improving environmental quality.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46550518","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}
