Descripción del proyecto
Aumento de la resiliencia urbana
Millones de personas de todo el mundo sufren los efectos de las catástrofes naturales cada año y los daños económicos siguen en aumento. Adoptado en 2015 durante la Tercera Conferencia Mundial de las Naciones Unidas celebrada en Sendai (Japón), el Marco de Sendai para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres 2015-2030 es un instrumento voluntario destinado a aumentar la resiliencia a escala local, que apoya la reducción de los riesgos de los desastres nacionales y locales a través de estrategias de adaptación al cambio climático centradas en el desarrollo de capacidades locales en ciudades propensas a sufrir crisis. El proyecto BuildERS, financiado con fondos europeos, mejorará la comprensión de la resiliencia social con el fin de fortalecer el acervo social, la concienciación sobre los riesgos y la preparación de los segmentos vulnerables de las sociedades y las comunidades, lo que servirá de ayuda para la formulación de políticas, planes y estrategias.
Objetivo
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Reduction 2015-2030 points out that global evidence indicates that in all countries the exposure of people and assets to disasters has increased faster than attempts to decrease vulnerability. The Framework underlines an all-society engagement, which addresses the most vulnerable groups, whilst accounting for contextual and cultural differences. It also calls for a more explicit focus on people, their health and livelihoods, and the local level, since individuals and local communities possess their own capabilities, networks, methods, tools and means to absorb impacts and bounce back. Thus, the ‘capital’ that is available at the root-level deserves to be recognised and incorporated in the policies and strategies for disaster risk reduction and enhancing of resilience.
To improve the overall resilience of people, communities and thereby the whole society, the BuildERS project focuses on the most vulnerable individuals, groups and communities. Strengthening the social capital, risk awareness and preparedness of the most vulnerable segments of the societies and communities will increase understanding on what societal resilience comprises. BuildERS will develop knowledge and insights that will device recommendations for policies, plans, strategies, and competencies for building partnerships, networks and trust for progressively fortifying the social capital and resilience against future threats, be they natural or man-induced. The special focus on communities and in particular on the most vulnerable groups answers to the so-far unfulfilled needs of these communities.BuildERS uses several research methods such as i) Stakeholder engagement with co-design and co-creation processes, ii) Field surveying and questionnaires, iii) Comparative research, iv) Multiple case analysis.
