Kompletný popis

Landslides are part and parcel of the physical§environment of undulating landscape of northern and§central Malawi. The population comprises poor,§largely rural communities who survive on subsistence§agriculture. This book focuses on both scientific§causes of landslides, and the local population s§awareness of landslides, their perceptions and§traditional beliefs regarding landslide causes, and§their coping strategies. The role of gender with§regard to perceptions and coping strategies receive§special attention. The author argues that§traditional; beliefs play an important role in§invoking explanations to why landslides occur, and§that women are as aware of the phenomena as men.§Coping strategies and proposed actions to combat the§effects of landslides are impacted upon by§traditional beliefs. Attempts to mitigate the impacts§of landslides and minimize their potential for future§landslides, particularly with regard to interventions§by government and NGOs, must enjoy the support of the§local population within the context of their§perceptions of such events, or they will be unlikely§to succeed
