Abstract

Proactive engagement of stakeholders in early phases of disaster risk management is a requisite for resilient society and built environment against disasters. Recent research indicates that proactive approaches by stakeholders reduce disaster risk significantly, however, it is not mentioned the critical attributes that play role in proactive engagement of stakeholders in disaster risk management context. The purpose of this paper is thus to review previous research of disaster risk management and disaster stakeholder management by focusing on stakeholders attributes and their proactive and reactive approaches. The findings indicate that stakeholder attributes of power, legitimacy and urgency play essential role in defining stakeholders' proactive and reactive approaches in different disaster risk management phases. This review contributes on how policy makers would classify stakeholders based on stakeholder attributes. This classification allows a direct comparison of stakeholders in disaster risk management. Such a comparison could be useful for policy makers in the allocation of resources for disaster risk management, particularly in the balance of resources between proactive and reactive stakeholders.
