| 内容記述 | The issue of effectively communicating disaster risk within the context of multicultural and\nmultilingual societies is an emergent paradigm in disaster risk reduction. The need for this new focus is\nlargely informed by a globalization process that is not only characterized by freedom of international\ntrade but increasingly, by regional economic and political integration initiatives that facilitates\nincreased migration to and domicile in foreign countries, by different cultural and lingual groups. The\nresultant multiculturalism and multilingualism has produced a new challenge for disaster and\nemergency managers who are bounded by international protocol to provide equitable access to disaster\nrisk information by all persons within their jurisdictions.\nThe high vulnerability of Caribbean countries to multiple hazards and sometimes to multiple\nexposures is underscored and as the regions further cements its political and economic integration\nmovement through the creation of the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), the\nmulticultural and multilingual disaster risk reduction issues that pertain globally, have now become\nrelevant to the Caribbean region. It is in that regard that the region’s disaster management community\nis being increasingly challenged to provide disaster risk information not only to different cultural and\nlingual groups but different social and demographic groups as well. In essence therefore, there is a dire\nneed in the Caribbean to develop communication strategies and techniques that allow equitable access\nto risk information in multicultural and multilingual societies as well as cater to the information needs\nof different social and demographic groups, such as children. The Tsunami Scenario Simulation Model\n(TSSM) and the Disaster Awareness Game (DAG) which are the central theme of this thesis were\ndesigned and are being proposed as viable strategies for addressing the emergent disaster riskcommunication\nneeds of the Caribbean region. The TSSM was designed to provide equitable access to\ndisaster risk information for rapid-onset events, such as tsunamis, in a multicultural and multilingual\nsetting. It was conceptualized and developed to address the challenges of effective dissemination of\ndisaster information in societies characterized by increasing levels of multiculturalism and is based on\ndata for the island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). The Model is intended to be\nmore than a platform for effective communication of disaster information but in addition can be used in\nthe assessment of disaster risk, evacuation planning and providing disaster managers with empirical\ndata on the relationship between timely provision of disaster risk information and the effectiveness of\nrisk-reduction responses.\nThe DAG was designed to evaluate, compare and promote disaster awareness among all social\ngroups but particularly among children. Generally, children account for the greatest proportion of\ncasualties from hazard impacts, especially in developing countries where they comprise the largest\npercentage of total population. This disproportionate vulnerability of children has recently been the\nfocus of various United Nations initiatives for disaster risk reduction and is increasingly becoming the\nfocus of local and national measures to reduce the impacts of hazards. The specific vulnerability of\nchildren and by extension the need to promote disaster awareness among children as an integral part of\ndisaster risk-reduction strategies is an emergent theme in the disaster management fraternity. The\noverarching focus of these children-specific measures has been the promotion of disaster education in\nschools to enhance the level of awareness among school-age children. However, this new thrust\ntowards disaster awareness among children presents a new challenge for disaster planners, especially as\nthis relates to the development of appropriate tools and techniques for the enhancement of the disaster\nknowledge-base of children. The primary challenge is in the design of awareness-promotion tools that\nare relevant to and appropriate for the specific learning needs of children. Specifically, disaster\nmanagement planners need to ensure that the information provided is appropriate to the informationassimilation\ncapacity of children and that the appropriate tools and techniques are developed to ensure\neffective conveyance of information through a medium that is neither stoic nor boring. Additionally,\nthe DAG recognizes the role of children as important information conduits in multicultural societies\nand thus, as an integral part of disaster mitigation strategies. Field testing of the DAG among Caribbean\nschool-children in the Turks and Caicos Islands and St. Vincent and the Grenadines suggests that this\ntool is appropriate for effectively raising levels of awareness and consequent behaviour of children in\ndisaster situations. Also, the application of the DAG in the multicultural setting of the TCI suggests that\nthis technique can be effective in promoting impartial access to disaster education. | |||||||
