Crises and disasters are windows of opportunity to learn and transform toward enhancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) and resilience. However, a poor understanding of community resilience and the social dimensions of risk, the lack of a methodology to engage and empower resilience in society, and business-as-usual together limit the implementation of effective DRR and resilience-building strategies. In this reflection paper, we discuss the main elements of the DRR and resilience paradigm. By analyzing the failures in disaster management, we identified the cultural and political barriers to enhancing DRR and community resilience as being: a paternalistic social protection culture; and the command-and-control approach to knowledge and resources for risk reduction. We reflect on the implications of this for sustainable development and argue that building a glocal culture of community wellbeing and resilience and a socially sustainable risk governance is needed to overcome the cultural and political barriers to DRR and sustainable development.

将社区复原力和风险的社会层面概念化，以克服减少灾害风险和可持续发展的障碍

危机和灾害是学习和转变以增强减少灾害风险 (DRR) 和复原力的机会之窗。然而，对社区复原力和风险的社会层面理解不足、缺乏在社会中参与和增强复原力的方法以及一切照旧，限制了有效减灾和复原力建设战略的实施。在这篇反思论文中，我们讨论了 DRR 和弹性范式的主要元素。通过分析灾害管理中的失败，我们确定了增强 DRR 和社区复原力的文化和政治障碍是：家长式的社会保护文化；以及用于降低风险的知识和资源的命令和控制方法。
