WHAT IS SOCIO-CULTURAL ?

Socio-Cultural Perspective focuses on the

cohesiveness and the interpersonal relation of a
society. From the perspective of Religion, Sector,
Values, Culture, and Beliefs of a community.

Socio-cultural characteristics play a key role in the vulnerability of

specific bodies to disasters. They can have a marked effect on the
triumph or oversight of disaster risk reduction methods in societies.

To reduce the steadily high casualties from disasters, and the

unjustness in vulnerability to natural hazards, additional awareness
should be expended on sociocultural dimensions in conditioning
and disaster risk reduction exercises.
