- Description
- Post disaster redevelopment is generally surrounded by socio-political encounters, which could present different opportunities/threats to the various stakeholder groups. Notwithstanding the merits of rapid and community-based response to disaster recovery, at times, the situational conditions could create complex interactions between social and political domains that impact upon governance issues and lead to a less than desirable level of sustainable redevelopment. This paper focuses on a case study understanding of a post disaster emergent governance structure and its influence on the approach to redevelopment. This research takes a constructive worldview acknowledging multiple social realties. Semi-structured interviews with the stakeholders were conducted to collect data. Interview data was transcribed and analysed to identify nascent themes. The findings contribute to further understanding on the evolving governance issues associated to post disaster redevelopment. It suggests that over-engagement of the community by different public and private entities in the decision-making process can contribute to contradictory redevelopment priorities and impact on long-term sustainability and resilience of the region.
