TOPICS: HEALTH, DISASTERS
In this project, we aim to design and test methods for integrating values explicitly into resilience thinking and decision-making. Given the increasing pressure to respond to real or perceived crises, long-term considerations are often forgotten. In this project, we aim to lay the empirical and theoretical foundations to integrate long-term justice into decision-making approaches, tools and models.
This project builds on our previous work on issues such as intertemporal justice, decision-making, and responsibility distributions in resilience-framed contexts. The focus will be on the study and development of methods for integrating such ethical considerations into resilience decision-making, in the contexts of urban planning, development or crisis situations. We plan to combine empirical work and field studies in the Global South to study how people do make urgent decisions in and what they value, and how they factor in strategic implications, with theory building work on value-based resilience decisions.
