Inhaltsangabe

This book introduces to the field of disaster studies a fresh methodology and model for examining and measuring impacts and responses to disasters. Urie Bronfenbrenner's bioecological systems theory is widely used in psychological and developmental fields, and offers a clear theoretical lens through which to examine the degrees of influence that exist elements when disaster occurs. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of disaster and emergency management, disaster readiness and risk reduction (DRR) and sustainability studies more generally.
