คำสำคัญ:
Disaster, Disaster Response, Disaster Preparednessบทคัดย่อ
This article aims to examine disaster situations from the perspective of Thai society through an academic study and an analysis of government agency reports and documents. The objectives of this study are: (1) to explore the body of knowledge related to disasters, and (2) to analyze disasters from the perspective of Thai society. The initial section of this article discusses fundamental information on disasters, including the definition of “disaster”, the types of disasters, the unique characteristics of disasters, and the impacts of disasters. Following this, the article examines the disaster situation in Thailand as a foundation for analyzing disasters from the Thai societal perspective in three key dimensions: (1) legal frameworks, policies, and planning; (2) disaster management; and (3) resourceadministration. These dimensions reflect Thailand’s preparedness and response capabilities in disaster management.
