摘要：The impact of disasters on the population can be considered in terms of community/city resilience to shocks and stresses, i.e. the ability to return to the previous state. However, there are more and more calls to look at disaster resilience not in terms of ‘bouncing back,’ but as everyday practices to cope with ongoing and changing everyday pressures (Andres, L. and Round, J. 2015). Bouncing back after a disaster is not satisfactory at the community level, as some disaster-affected people do not want a return to ‘how things were,’ but desire changes addressing former inequalities and dysfunctions (Vale, L.J. and Campanella, T. 2005). Moreover, resilience could be seen as a metaphor for change, not against change (DeVerteuil, G. and Golubchikov, O. 2016). The key ideas of this volume fully meet these calls. The editors aim to conceptualise the demography–disaster nexus in a wider perspective, beyond the natural hazards’ ‘statistical’ impact on demography, in order to improve disaster policy and planning process. The volume contains 13 individual chapters, which highlight case studies from developed (Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Island) and postSoviet (Ukraine, Russia) countries covering a variety of disasters (nuclear disaster, cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption, wildfre, crop failure, mine fre, and heat-related stress and lifeline failure).
