Published in Disasters

关于人道主义援助和灾害响应如何更好地与发展和减少灾害风险联系起来的讨论已经存在了几十年。然而，人们对于从发展到救济的反向过渡仍知之甚少。本研究以也门为例，分析当该国冲突升级时，发展和减灾活动是否能够适应新出现的人道主义危机以及应该如何适应的问题。该研究侧重于发展、灾害和人道主义响应之间的关系中的治理策略、参与者、挑战和机遇。与援助和社会参与者的半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论在约旦远程进行。调查结果显示了从发展和减灾向救济过渡的知识和协调方面所存在的差距，也揭示了在危机之前、危机期间和危机过后更好地整合行动的空间和机会。本文为有关这一关系的文献做出了贡献，并批判性地主张需要一种更综合的方法来应对冲突和灾难。 关键词： 人道援助；发展；灾难风险减少；灾害响应；救济；激烈冲突；也门.
