Full Description
This contributed volume examines the intersection of social work, environmental justice, and disaster risk reduction (DRR). It explores how eco-social approaches can bridge gaps in traditional DRR strategies by integrating social, economic, and cultural dimensions of disasters. Through theoretical insights and real-world case studies, the book highlights innovative ways to support vulnerable communities and promote interdisciplinary collaboration in disaster management.
As climate change and emerging risks intensify disasters, conventional DRR methods primarily address physical impacts, often neglecting social and environmental factors. This book confronts these gaps by presenting a holistic approach that integrates eco-social work into disaster risk reduction. It critically analyzes the fragmentation between social and environmental strategies, the challenges faced by marginalized populations, and the necessity of interdisciplinary responses. By emphasizing the need for justice-driven and sustainable DRR practices, the book contributes to an emerging academic discourse that reshapes disaster management frameworks.
Academics and practitioners in social work, environmental studies, public policy, and DRR will find valuable insights in this book. Researchers, policymakers, social workers, and disaster managers benefit from its theoretical foundations and empirical case studies. It is also an essential resource for students pursuing degrees in social work, environmental science, and disaster management.
