ABSTRACT

Resilience has been raised as a core task within disaster risk reduction frameworks, yet it remains difficult to implement these global ideas in local communities. This study used Community Based Resilience Analysis Approach to investigate the components that are perceived as important in resilience and the extent to which these components have been achieved. It explored the trend of resilience and beneficial interventions for building resilience as perceived by interviewed participants in Mbale Municipality in Eastern Uganda. The study results indicate that access to education, healthcare, employment, peace and security were the most important components of resilience. Respondents perceived to have progressed in accessing credit, building productive farms and sustaining peace and security by July 2017. However, they assessed a lack of diverse income-generating activities, access to insurance, food security, employment and health care. Moreover, the study showed that respondents from marginalised parts of the municipality experienced decreasing resilience while respondents in other divisions had increased resilience. These results provide context-specific components of resilience by the local people. This can inform the formulation of resilience indices and bear relevance for policy-makers and practitioners to understand areas to invest more resources to achieve resilience.

抽象的

增强抵御能力已成为减少灾害风险框架内的一项核心任务，但在当地社区实施这些全球思想仍然很困难。这项研究使用了基于社区的弹性分析方法来调查被认为对弹性具有重要意义的组件以及这些组件的实现程度。它探究了复原力的趋势，并通过乌干达东部姆巴莱市的受访者认为建立复原力的有益干预措施。研究结果表明，获得教育，医疗保健，就业，和平与安全是复原力的最重要组成部分。到2017年7月，受访者认为在获得信贷，建设生产农场和维持和平与安全方面取得了进展。但是，他们评估了缺乏多样化的创收活动，获得保险，粮食安全，就业和保健的机会。此外，研究表明，来自城市边缘地区的受访者的抵御能力下降了，而其他部门的受访者的抵御能力却增强了。这些结果为当地人提供了针对具体情况的弹性。这可以为制定复原力指数提供信息，并与决策者和从业人员了解相关领域，以投入更多资源以实现复原力有关。这些结果为当地人提供了针对具体情况的弹性。这可以为制定复原力指数提供信息，并与决策者和从业人员了解相关领域，以投入更多资源以实现复原力有关。这些结果为当地人提供了针对具体情况的弹性。这可以为制定复原力指数提供信息，并与决策者和从业人员了解相关领域，以投入更多资源以实现复原力有关。
