Social Capital Based Resilience Framework for Communities to Disasters in Coastal Areas: A Literature Analysis and Case Study from Odisha Cyclone - FANI -2019
Abstract: The disaster victims received instant support, cooperation, and assistance from themselves. People in the communities assisted each other for survival before the government or any external help arrived. Social resilience, more than any other aspect of resilience, highlights the inherent contradiction between identity or persistence and transformation. In this research, we look at how this fear affects the development and application of social resilience in disasters. The reason of this …
