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.Â
