Local, traditional, or indigenous knowledge play an important role in disaster risk reduction (DRR), and many policy recommendations now call for the integration of local and expert views. While these attempts at integration are indeed promising, they are often built on assumptions that local knowledge is inherently separate from, or even subordinate to, expert perspectives. This article presents an account of what we call “local disaster knowledge” (LDK) in the Dieng Plateau of Central Java; a region characterised by volcanic craters that periodically expel poisonous concentrations of carbon dioxide gas. LDK is interpreted as a plural, embedded, relational and embodied knowledge system, which incorporates complementary forms of knowledge gained through everyday livelihood practice, scientific information and cultural‐religious beliefs. Rather than focusing on the “separateness” of local knowledge, this article forwards an ethnographic approach to disaster research that recognises the beneficial knowledge interactions that already exist (many of which occur informally), and the contextual reasons that explain local understandings of risk. Our findings advocate for the more genuine and equal inclusion of local views in global DRR policy and frameworks, as well as in the design and implementation of local level programmes.

当地的灾害知识:对印度尼西亚中爪哇省高地的火山灾害有多重认识

本地,传统或本地知识在减少灾害风险(DRR)中起着重要作用,许多政策建议现在要求整合本地和专家的观点。尽管这些整合尝试确实是有希望的,但它们通常基于以下假设:本地知识与专家观点本质上是分离的,甚至是从属的。本文介绍了中爪哇省迪恩高原上所谓的“本地灾难知识”(LDK)。一个以火山口为特征的区域,该火山口会定期排出有毒的二氧化碳气体。LDK被解释为一个多元的,嵌入式的,关系的和体现的知识体系,其中包含通过日常生计实践,科学信息和文化宗教信仰获得的互补形式的知识。本文不着重于本地知识的“分离性”,而是提出了一种用于灾害研究的人种学方法,该方法认识到已经存在的有益知识相互作用(其中许多是非正式发生的)以及解释本地对风险的理解的背景因素。我们的研究结果主张在全球DRR政策和框架以及地方计划的设计和实施中更真实,平等地纳入地方观点。
