由于斐济的地理条件,它经常受到飓风的影响。2016年2月,斐济受到热带气旋温斯顿的袭击,这是该地区过去20年来发生的最大气旋。斐济政府估计,约54万人受到影响,近3万所房屋被毁。纳瓦拉村所在的巴省是飓风中受灾最严重的地区。村子里到处都是斐济传统的房子,叫做“布尔”。一些建筑物被飓风摧毁,由于采用了新的建筑材料,如铁皮和混凝土,建筑物的总数减少了。根据日本外务省的一份报告,纳瓦拉超过一半的房屋经受住了飓风的袭击。因此,本研究旨在观察飓风对纳瓦拉地区的影响,并确定村庄社区的灾害响应和恢复过程。本研究是通过文献综述和定性和定量问卷调查在纳瓦拉72户进行的。研究结果表明,村庄社区在日常生活中对房屋进行了合作维护,因此在飓风后可以快速修复房屋。此外,他们还将在没有外部支援和补贴的情况下,从今年开始自行重建14个营房。问卷调查发现,70%的受访者认为火炉比现代房屋更安全,因为现代房屋的飞铁皮屋顶可能会伤害到人,而茅草屋顶没有危险。此外,燃烧缓慢地坍塌,给时间逃离,甚至在坍塌后,保留生存的内部空间。综上所述,村庄社区对飓风具有抵抗力,并具有灾后社区灾后恢复的潜力
Fiji is often affected by cyclones because of its geographic conditions. In February 2016, Fiji was hit by Tropical Cyclone Winston, the biggest cyclone to occur in the region in the last 20 years. The government of Fiji estimated that approximately 540,000 people were affected and almost 30,000 houses were destroyed. A severely damaged area during the cyclone was Ba Province, where Navala village is located. The village abounds with Fijian traditional houses called bure. Some bures were destroyed by the cyclone, and the total number of bures has decreased consequent to the introduction of new building materials, such as iron sheeting and concrete. According to a report by the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs, more than half the bures in Navala withstood the cyclone. Therefore, this research aims to observe the impacts of the cyclone on bures in Navala, and identify the disaster response and recovery process of the village community. This research was conducted through a literature review as well as qualitative and quantitative questionnaire surveys on 72 households in Navala. The research results show that the village community cooperates to maintain the bures in ordinary life, and thus could repair them quickly after the cyclone. In addition, they will start self-reconstructing 14 bures this year without outside support and allowances. The questionnaire surveys found that 70% of the respondents considered bures as safer than modern houses, as the flying iron sheet roofs on modern houses might injure people, while thatched roofs pose no danger. Furthermore, bure collapse slowly, giving time to escape, and even after collapsing, retain the inner space in which to survive. In conclusion, the village community is resistant to cyclones and has the potential for community-based disaster recovery after a
