Vulnerability, Social Capital and Disaster Preparedness - Experiences of the Orang Asli Families in Malaysia (1st ed. 2023):... Vulnerability, Social Capital and Disaster Preparedness - Experiences of the Orang Asli Families in Malaysia (1st ed. 2023)
Sumaiya Sadeka, Mohd Suhaimi Mohamad, Md Sujahangir Kabir Sarkar, Abul Quasem Al-Amin
R3,098 Discovery Miles 30 980 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Climate Change and Adaptation for Food Sustainability - Implications and Scenarios from Malaysia (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021):... Climate Change and Adaptation for Food Sustainability - Implications and Scenarios from Malaysia (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021)
Ferdous Ahmed, Abul Quasem Al-Amin, Zeeda Fatimah Mohamad
R3,083 Discovery Miles 30 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book assesses the vulnerability impacts of climate change on food security by examining a 50 years scenario (2015- 2065) and following a top-down approach. Importantly, looking at the sustainable food production, the authors compared the cost-benefit of adaptation costs from 2015 to 2065. It was found that a 15% adaptation capacity is more efficient for Malaysia in order to combat the climate change effects on the food sector. This book has developed a quantitative adaptive model namely, the Malaysian Climate and Economy (MCE) model, based on the dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling structure to examine food sustainability and adaptation strategies. Malaysia experiences an unusual combination of droughts and extreme rainfall events that can be attributed to climate change. These unusual events and consequences leave Malaysian policymakers looking for ways to make Malaysia self-sufficient in terms of agriculture. It is assumed that climate change effects may result in increasing food insecurity and vulnerability in the future. Policy measures are in place to lessen the likely climatic effects overall, but there is an urgent need to develop an adaptation policy for the future.
