Kompletní popis

This book discusses the relative contribution that §cultural factors, social support networks and §spirituality, have in facilitating resilience. To §date, the literature has concentrated on studies of §Western, individualist cultures, with relatively §little attention paid to collectivist cultures. §Significant differences in, for example, social §structures and interpretive mechanisms, suggest that §collectivist cultures must be studied separately if §a comprehensive model of disaster resilience is to §be developed. Taiwan, a collectivist culture, has a §long history of battling natural disasters such as §earthquakes and typhoons. On average, 4.8 natural §disasters strike the island every year. Repeated §exposure to disasters creates a natural laboratory §for disaster science. The concept of resilience is §of great importance to disaster studies and §management. Professionals who work with survivors §will need to understand what helps them to function §well during and after disasters, and how to §incorporate this knowledge into new practice §strategies that foster the survivors strengths and §resilience.
