RESUMO

Sociologists are growing increasingly skeptical toward research on risk conducted in other fields, and new perspectives on risk are emerging. Topics that merit further exploration include the social construction of risk and risk objects, risk analysis as a type of scientific enterprise, the organizational and institutional forces that shape positions on risk, safety and risk as dynamic properties of social systems, and the social forces that create and allocate risk. In particular, sociologists need to place more emphasis on exploring the roles played by organizations and the state in hazard production and on formulating a political economy of risk. To a significantly greater degree than other disciplines concerned with risk, sociology emphasizes the contextual factors that structure vulnerability to hazards and the linkages that exist between vulnerability and social power

RESUMO

It is all but certain that there will be more and worse disasters in the future. Other researchers as well as ourself have detailed and documented this elsewhere. This undesirable outcome will result from the last stages of two master and worldwide social trends: industrialisation and urbanisation. However, crisis planning and emergency managing policies can be established and steps can be taken that will reduce and weaken some of the negative effects of the disasters of the twenty-first century. Among major ones are: I. Noting and accepting the fact that all disaster are essentially social occasions that initially and primarily have to be dealt with by social means; II. Dropping the distinction in planning between natural and technological disaster and moving to an all-hazard or generic approach; III. Making disaster mitigation at least as much a priority in planning and application as emergency preparedness, response and recovery; IV. More closely integrating disaster planning to the developmental planning or social change processes of the social system involved; and V. Ascertaining in what ways disaster problems are similar to and different from other environmental problems, and concurrently addressing both where there are similarities. If the right policies and measures are put in place, the future will not be the past revisited nor will it be only the present repeated

RESUMO

This paper summarizes much although not all of what is known about overall disaster related social behavior. Drawing from a base of 50 years of social science research involving thousands of studies, we note the typical patterns of behavior at the individual, organizational, community and mass media level. The last is a surrogate for reactions at the societal level. To avoid interminable and specific documentation, readers are given a large bibliography that lists the major research literature examined for the purpose of this paper. Most disasters impact a community. However, there are non-community types of disasters, e.g., a plane crash in an isolated rural area. This affects behavioral responses (e.g., crash survivors do not receive the social support that emerges in a community when residents have undergone a common disaster experience). The 20 general observations below around which we organize our comments, are mostly about community disasters

RESUMO

This training manual is a guide, a "recipe" book to be adapted and experimented with in terms of methodology. The manual, designed for conducting a workshop on gender, health and development, incorporates a number of different training methods and approaches. The training manual es based on the premise that people acquire knowledge more effectively when encouraged to discover the facts for themselves and draw on their own work and personal experiences. It therefore uses participatory techniques to support this process of learning and allows for time to discuss, question, think and entrench knowledge through a variety of methods

RESUMO

In this article some critical concepts of risk research - such as 'risk', 'risk magnitude' 'perceived risk', 'acceptance of risk' 'risk communication' 'risk evaluation' - are elucidated from a social-science perspective. The discussion illustrates why interpretations of risk issues tend to clash when looked at from conflicting scientific world views (AU)

RESUMO

To explain both origin and outcome of disasters ('natural', technical' and 'war-bone') as well as social action during disasters proper, a macrosociological model of internal causation isss introduced (PERDUE). It consists of six stages of possible and of most likely paths of social change between these six ('Peace is founded','Everyday routine', Rising class struggle', Disasters strike', 'Unconditional surrender of collective defence' and Evaporation of common values'). The stages are developed by making use of three dimensions of social change ('rapidity','radicality',and'rituality') and described (AU)

RESUMO

Esta contribución pretende aproximarse a un exclarecimiento del significado de la vulnerabilidad social como un hecho condicionado por el desarrollo de relaciones sociales. Las aportaciones recientes realizadas en el campo de las ciencias sociales han develado la importancia de su valoración respecto de medidas preventivas y también con relación a los impactos y desenlaces en todo proceso de desastre, pero particularmente en aquellos que acontecen en países subdesarrollados. La vulnerabilidad social se coloca aquí por el primer momento considerado en el proceso del riesgo-desastre (AU)

RESUMO

All social events including disaster planning, response, and recovery activities reflect both the forces of social action and social order. To indicate that there is a social aspect to disasters justifies the sociological examination of disasters, exactly what should they study and how should they proceed? The possible combinations of the forces of action and order are expressed in social structure, the various forms of human association. If social action is visible in spontaneous, creative actions, social order is seen in the patterns of recurring human activities. If social action identifies the individual as the prime agent, social order highlights the social unit - groups and organisations - as the prime force. Gaining an understanding of the paradox of social structure, that action and order are autonomous yet related, can allow disaster managers to tranform social structure, the forms of human association, into an ally rather than an enemy.(AU)

RESUMO

Se revisan las definiciones asociadas al estudio de las catástrofes precisando sus diferentes alcances y significados, asociándolas a diferentes concepciones causales, relacionándolas con algunas actividades y creencias para mostrar la necesidad de ampliar la perspectiva del estudio de estos fenómenos, de lo circunstancial biológico natural, a sus connotaciones, políticas socioeconómicas y culturales en el plano de su consideración no sólo como efecto sinó también como causa (AU)
