| Research Abstract |
Through describing the cultural process of coping with the disaster, this research clarifies the social practices engaged by those who live in the local area. The finding is that those practices can be understood as not just a social policy for reducing the damage caused by unexpected events like natural disasters, but an indigenous way of life that people in the small community have created through their own distinctive practices and beliefs. This research presents a new perspective of how we can manage the risk faced in contemporary world in focusing on the process of emergence of knowledge and practice based on people's everyday life. It also suggests the potential contributions carried by sociological researches in the field of studies on disaster and the policies making for management of disasters.
