摘要

教堂作为具有物质和非物质价值的活文化遗产，面临火灾、洪水和盗窃等灾害的风险。通过在伦敦的17个教堂进行21次半结构化访谈，我们探讨了灾害管理实践，特别是审查了主要的灾害风险、准备和减灾实践、现有支持以及响应和恢复战略。我们发现，虽然火灾风险计划被广泛实施（86%），盗窃/入室盗窃计划不太常见（60%），洪水风险计划很少（12%），反映了低洪水风险。通用的灾害管理支持是可用的，但很难为个别教堂定制。尽管遗产方面带来了独特的挑战，包括遗产的风险和遗产带来的风险，但拥有一个忠诚的志愿者基地可以帮助灾难恢复。我们还发现，什么是灾难取决于当地的环境。有几个因素影响灾害管理计划的质量，包括现有的财政和人力资源。相当数量的教堂依靠保险来资助重建。本研究也指出学术灾害管理周期的局限性，并探讨实际的灾害管理规划如何作为一系列不相连的步骤存在。

Disaster management practices in churches in London, UK

Churches, as living cultural heritage with tangible and intangible values, are at risk of disasters such as fire, flood and theft. By conducting 21 semi-structured interviews in 17 churches in London, we explore disaster management practice, specifically examining the main disaster risks, preparation and mitigation practices, available support, and response and recovery strategies.

We found that while fire risk plans are widely implemented (86%), theft/burglary plans are less common (60%), and flood risk plans are rare (12%), reflecting low flood risk. Generic disaster management support is available, but difficult to customise for individual churches. Access to a committed volunteer base can aid disaster recovery, although heritage aspects introduce unique challenges involving both risks to heritage and risks from heritage.

We also discovered that what is perceived as a disaster depends on the local context. There are several factors that affect the quality of disaster management plans including the financial and human resources available. A significant number of churches depend on insurance to fund recovery. This research also identified the limitations of academic disaster management cycle and explored how practical disaster management planning exists as a series of disconnected steps.

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.
