This book presents a case study-based analysis of the consequences
of external interventions, critically evaluating them from
community perspectives. Communities - from rural to urban, and
around the world - that are experiencing disasters and changes in
climatic variables can perceive the associated risks and evaluate
the impacts of interventions. Accordingly, community perspectives,
including their perceptions, concerns, awareness, realizations,
reactions and expectations, represent a valuable resource. The
case-based analysis of impacts on communities can provide a 'means
of learning' from the experiences of others, thus expanding
professionals' knowledge base, especially regarding disaster
mitigation and climate change adaptation practices in varied
settings. This book offers valuable insights and lessons learned,
in an effort to promote and guide innovative changes in the current
planning, management and governance of human settlements, helping
them face the future challenges of a changing environment.
