A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development (2023)
Thesis
Geekiyanage, D. (2023). A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development. (Thesis). The University of Salford

In the face of increasing extreme climate events, communities are often excluded from decision-making during pre-disaster and urban planning, despite their tacit knowledge and experience in disaster response and recovery. This marginalisation poses a... Read More about A Holistic Approach for Fostering Community Engagement in the Decision-Making of Risk-Sensitive Urban Planning and Development.
