Knowledge and Practice in Building Social Capital For Sustainable Disaster Management IN South West Coastal Bangladesh

The document discusses a study on building social capital for sustainable disaster management in southwest coastal Bangladesh. It analyzes the knowledge and practices of local communities regarding social capital and disaster risk management. The study found that: 1) Local communities have strong bonding social capital due to shared history, but bridging social capital is weaker with only moderate levels of trust and solidarity. 2) Knowledge of disaster preparation and management is inadequate at 44% with practice levels also low at 46.57%. 3) Knowledge is significantly correlated with practices, with those with higher knowledge more likely to engage in preparedness activities.

practice of behavior among the inhabitants of south-west coastal
region of Bangladesh

because of the common historical background of the settlement

• Bridging helped in financial and service support. But after a period of


time during disaster situation, it become less active due to
competition with moderately lower trust and solidarity.

• Knowledge about disaster preparation is inadequate (44%) with


practice (46.57%)

• Knowledge is significantly related with practice with higher


significance value (r value= 0.411)
