The Pacific Island nations are not alone in facing these challenges, but their responses are unique in that they arise from traditional and community-based understandings of climate and disaster. Knowledge sharing, community education, and widespread participation in decision-making have promoted social resilience to such challenges across the Pacific. In this exploration of the Pacific Island countries, Bryant-Tokalau demonstrates that by understanding the inter-relatedness of local expertise, customary resource management, traditional knowledge and practice, as well as the roles of leaders and institutions, local “knowledge-practice-belief systems” can be used to inform adaptation to disasters wherever they occur.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | disaster anthropology; environmental disaster; indigenous knowledge; resource management; adaptation; soc | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-78399-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-78399-4Series ISSN 2946-5850 Series E-ISSN 2946-5869 | issn_series | 2946-5850 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
