| description |
This book has two main aims: to
demonstrate to international development agencies,
governments, policy makers, project managers, practitioners,
and community residents that landslide hazard can often be
reduced in vulnerable urban communities in the developing
world, and to provide practical guidance for those in charge
of delivering Management of Slope Stability in Communities
(MoSSaiC) on the ground. The purpose of the book is to take
readers into the most vulnerable communities in order to
understand and address rainfall-triggered landslide hazards
in these areas. Community residents are not just seen as
those at risk, but as the people with the best practical
knowledge of the slopes in their neighborhood. As used here,
'community based' means engaging and working with
communities to find and deliver solutions to landslide risk
together. This approach leads governments to develop new
practices and policies for tackling landslide risk. This
book standardizes those elements of MoSSaiC that have led to
its successful implementation in the Eastern Caribbean, and
that are essential to the overall objectives (such as
community engagement, mapping localized slope features, and
broad drainage design principles). The book's nine
chapters provide guidance to project managers and
practitioners on the entire end-to-end process of
community-based landslide risk reduction. While certain
chapters are more directly relevant to one audience than
another, it is helpful for all audiences to read the
'getting started' section of each chapter and be
alerted to the nine project milestones. |
