Abstract
- This article addresses the increasing need for participatory approaches to disaster reduction at the community level. Based on the author's 30-year engagement in the mountainous community Chizu Town, Tottori Prefecture, Japan, a unique participatory approach called "Zero-to-One Movement" has been strategically studied. The study areas are found to have adaptively increased their coping capacity. Their unique participatory process is shown to be an adaptive process for SMART community governance under persistent disruptive risks—"S" represents small-sized and survivability-minded, "M" modest-scale and multiple-stakeholder involved, "A" anticipatory and adaptive, "R" risk-concerned and responsive, and "T" is transformative. Finally, the Case Station-Field Campus scheme is proposed to serve as a platform for studying the adaptive processes over a long period of time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
