Abstract:
Local perspectives provide different insights into disaster planning and response as compared to those of experts. Eliciting them, however, can be challenging, particularly for marginalised groups whose viewpoints have historically been excluded from planning processes. Fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) provides a semi-quantitative approach to representing the collective understanding or \'mental models\' of diverse individuals and communities. This study involved 23 FCM interviews across three neighbourhoods of Saint Martin to comprehend: (i) how individuals\' mental models of Hurricane Irma (2017) differ based on their context; (ii) how aligned mental models are with policy and planning documents; and (iii) the implications for the inclusiveness and representativeness of disaster response policies. It found that the residents of different neighbourhoods provided unique insights into the factors driving the social-ecological system, and that official policies aligned closely with priorities. The paper argues that the inclusion of the perspectives of different groups in disaster recovery is essential for an equitable process.
摘要:
与专家的观点相比,地方观点为灾难规划和响应提供了不同的见解。引诱他们,然而,可能是具有挑战性的,特别是对于那些观点在历史上被排除在规划过程之外的边缘化群体。模糊认知映射(FCM)提供了一种半定量方法来表示不同个体和社区的集体理解或“心理模型”。这项研究涉及对圣马丁三个社区的23次FCM访谈,以了解:(i)飓风伊尔玛(2017)的个人心理模型如何根据其背景而有所不同;(ii)心理模型与政策和规划文件的一致性;(iii)对灾难应对政策的包容性和代表性的影响。研究发现,不同社区的居民对驱动社会生态系统的因素提供了独特的见解,官方政策与优先事项密切相关。本文认为,将不同群体的观点纳入灾难恢复对于公平的过程至关重要。
