自然灾害是孟加拉国沿海地区频繁发生的现象，对沿海社区和环境造成了重大破坏。本研究是在孟加拉国南部沿海地区进行的，目的是探讨妇女对自然灾害的准备、风险和损失、文化和有条件的行为、适应能力和恢复能力。在灾难中，女性不得不面对与男性不同的挑战，从而产生了一种功能障碍。妇女不得不面临生计机会的丧失、救济物资的剥夺、性骚扰，几乎没有参与任何应对或管理活动的余地。同样，他们在灾难发生后也会受到反护理法的影响。与此相反，灾难还创造了一个条件，可以产生各种积极和建设性的影响，包括妇女的变革作用，而这些影响往往没有得到报道。灾害导致规划者不仅遵循补偿原则，而且遵循恢复和增加原则，使沿海低收入群体获得更多利益。然而，在沿海地区，财产损失越高，居民的投资倾向就越低，这对资本形成和社会发展具有持久的影响。(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Natural disasters are frequent phenomena in the coastal regions of Bangladesh, causing significant damage to the coastal community and environment. The present study was conducted in southern coastal region of Bangladesh with the aim to explore women's preparedness, risk and loss, cultural and conditional behaviour, adaptability and recovery capacity from the natural disasters. During disaster a kind of functional disorder gets created where women had to face challenges different from men. Women have to face loss of livelihood opportunities, deprivation from relief materials, sexual harassment and enjoy little scope of participation in any response or management activities. Likewise, they also suffer from inverse care law after disaster. Contrary to that, disaster also creates a condition to accrue diverse positive and constructive impacts including women's transformative role which often do not get reported. Disaster leads the planners to follow not merely the compensatory principle but also restoration and augmentation principles which give more benefits to the low income group of the coast. Nevertheless, in the coast the higher is the loss of property, the lower is the tendency among the dwellers to invest which has a long-lasting effect on capital formation and social development.
