Developing understanding of vulnerability transfer related to multiple hazards and social, economic and political factors in Darjeeling, West Bengal,

在这个阶段，我还没有完全开发研究问题，因此方法论。到目前为止，我已经全面参与了有关大吉岭地区的社会政治历史（以及印度更广泛的社会和政治进程），治理和治理，以及聚集理论的文献。这样做是为了制定一个研究的理论框架，并最终为研究问题和方法提供信息。我希望在8月底之前提出研究问题，并在秋季制定一种方法，然后为升级做准备，我希望在新年前后完成。目前，我的目标是使用集合理论来探索在大吉岭创造和减少多灾害灾害风险（特别是山体滑坡）的相互关联的因素。为了构建这个框架，我希望建立在多诺万（2017）提出的减少灾害风险（DRR）组合的想法基础上，也许可以考虑与此同时的“灾害风险管理”组合。在Donovan（2017）中，提出了该组合的6个关键领域。在这一阶段的文献综述中，“价值观，意识形态和社会赋权”，脆弱性和财富，资源和规模的不平衡，以及治理和治理的三个组成部分似乎是最有影响力的大吉岭区。因此，我希望我的研究问题能围绕这些问题解决，尽管这可能会改变。

At this stage I have not fully developed research questions and thus a methodology. So far I have engaged comprehensively with the literature regarding the socio-political history of the Darjeeling district (as well as wider social and political processes in India), governance and governmentality, and assemblage theory. This has been done to develop a theoretical framework for the study and ultimately to inform the research questions and methodology. I hope to propose research questions by the end of August, and develop a methodology over the autumn before preparing a piece for the upgrade, which I hope to complete sometime around the new year. Currently, I am aiming to use assemblage theory to explore the interconnected factors which both create and reduce multi-hazard disaster risk (with a particular focus on landslides) in Darjeeling. To frame this, I hope to build on the idea of a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) assemblage proposed by Donovan (2017), and perhaps consider a 'disaster risk management' assemblage alongside this.. In Donovan's (2017), 6 key areas of this assemblage are proposed. At this stage of the literature review, the 3 component areas of 'values, ideologies and social empowerment', vulnerability and imbalances of wealth, resources and scale, and governance and governmentality appear to be the most influential in Darjeeling district. Thus, I expect my research questions to settle somewhere around these issues, though this may change.
