| Publisher Description: This documentation gives a detailed account on the involvement of the government, army and civil society in the rescue and relief operations following the Latur/Killari earthquake of September 30, 1993 in Maharashtra, India and the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of Gubal village which was completely destroyed by the quake. Written twelve years after the disaster struck, this documentation provides insight into the long-term implications of administrative decisions on resettlement and reconstruction, the durability of the geodesic dome as an earthquake resistant housing design built for the survivors and the social sustainability and cultural acceptance of rehabilitation measures. The study is complemented by theoretical guidelines on humanitarian aid and a general introduction to Global Governance in disaster management in the framework of human rights, codes of conduct, and ethical standards. |
