Recent years have seen a dramatic re-emergence of interest in
ontology. From philosophy and social sciences to artificial
intelligence and computer science, ontology is gaining
interdisciplinary influence as a popular tool for applied research.
Contributions to Social Ontology focuses specifically on these
developments within the social sciences. The contributions reveal
that this revived interest in social ontology involves far more
than an unquestioning acceptance or application of the concepts and
methods of academic philosophers. Instead as ontology permeates so
many new areas, social ontology itself is evolving in new and
fascinating ways. This book engages with these new developments,
pushing it forward with cutting-edge new material from leading
authors in this area, from Roy Bhaskar to Margaret Archer. It also
explicitly analyzes the relationship between the new ontological
projects and the more traditional approaches.

Enhancing Disaster Preparedness: From Humanitarian Architecture to
Community Resilience relates to the fourth priority of the UNDRR's
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Taking a
wide understanding of disaster preparedness, the book deals with
resilient responses and building capacities related to hazardous
events, bringing some practical experiences and theoretical
insights in this regard. Mostly based on field research conducted
in the Global South by architects and other built-environment
professionals, the book covers both post-disaster interventions
(rebuilding and recovery) and development-related processes. Its
three parts address the interlinkages between humanitarian design,
community resilience, and inclusive governance, which are crucial
for fostering effective disaster preparedness. Part I discusses the
changing roles of architects and urban designers involved in the
humanitarian sphere. Part II concentrates on resilience as a
socioecological capacity to enhance preparedness within
community-based spatial processes. Focused on global dynamics, Part
III covers topics emphasizing the link between the management of
crises, whether political or economic, at different levels of
governance, and the vulnerability of communities and structures on
the national and local scales. As such, the book approaches rising
global priorities and brings timely lessons to support building a
more equitable, safe, and resilient environment in a rapidly
urbanized world.
Disaster prevention and the mitigation of climate change effects
call for global action. Joint efforts are required among countries,
economic sectors, and public and private stakeholders. Not
surprisingly, international organizations, such as the United
Nations agencies, propose policy frameworks aimed at worldwide
influence. The 2015-2030 Sendai Framework seeks to create consensus
about the need to act for disaster risk reduction and climate
adaptation. A key goal is to promote investments in risk reduction
and resilience. But how useful is this policy framework? What does
it say, and what does it overlook? How can it be implemented among
vulnerable communities, in historic sites, and in other sensitive
locations affected by disasters? In this book, prominent scholars
and practitioners examine the successes and failures of the Sendai
Framework. Their case studies show that, despite its good
intentions, the Framework achieves very little. The main reason is
that, while avoiding a political engagement, it fails to deal with
disasters' root causes and guide the difficult path of effective
implementation. The authors bring a fresh look to international
policy and design practices, highlighting cross-disciplinary
research avenues, and ideas and methods for low-income communities,
cities and heritage sites in Portugal, Haiti, the United States,
the Philippines, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, among other
countries.Global action requires collaboration between
heterogeneous stakeholders, but also the recognition of
inequalities, power imbalances, and social and environmental
injustices.
