| Notes | Introduction -- A history of orang ASLI Malaysia -- Recent research on disaster exposure, social capital and disaster preparedness -- Application of qualitative method for vulnerability, social capital and disaster preparedness -- Disaster experiences and vulnerability of the orang ASLI families -- Social capital of the orang ASLI families -- Family disaster preparedness -- Linkage between vulnerability, social capital and disaster preparedness -- Disaster responses: the role of local organization for the orang ASLI -- Conclusion, implication and recommendation. This book addresses increasing concerns regarding the relationship between social capital and disaster, highlighting conceptual definitions related to social capital and disaster, family, community, vulnerability, disaster experience, and preparedness. Focusing on a contemporary case of disaster management in Malaysia, the authors explore and establish linkages between the level of social capital and disaster preparedness among the indigenous Orang Asli people. Taking the case of the Orang Asli families as a point of departure, the book presents solutions for mobilizing social capital for disaster preparedness through multi-stakeholder involvement, promoting participation in awareness programs, ensuring indigenous people’s access to resources, and proposing a prioritization of local values and culture in enabling proper planning and coordination for more disaster-resilient communities in Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. The book is broadly relevant to cases in similar economic settings where indigenous people are lagging behind in disaster preparedness. An excellent resource for sociologists, this pioneering book collates various concepts and theories relating to social and ecological networks and systems, family resilience, and stress and coping mechanisms. It is relevant to researchers focused on disasters in developing countries, globally, particularly those focused on indigenous communities. HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-3874-2 |
