Bangladesh is prone to recurring natural hazards due to its geographical position and topography. The country has suffered casualties and damage to homes, agriculture, and the economy as a result of tropical cyclones. Effective disaster management approaches are required to reduce the risk of disaster and loss. The Constitution of Bangladesh plays an active role in implementing these approaches at the national and sub-national level. This article analyzes parts of the Constitution addressing disaster management by ensuring disaster governance and adaptive governance. To examine the theoretical aspects of disaster management from a global and Bangladesh perspective, the current institutional role for disaster management, the difference in service delivery for specific organizations, and human rights and humanitarian aspects, a study was conducted based on secondary data and information. Bangladesh's supreme law supports all phases of the disaster management cycle. Consequently, it is said that the Constitution would be an essential document for effective disaster management at all levels.

The intensity and serious impact of disasters threaten human life, including in Indonesia. A series of natural disasters such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, and tsunamis in the past decade have claimed thousands of lives and damaged property and destroyed social and cultural structures. Current pandemic as non-natural disaster also shows that Covid-19 become among deadliest of disasters. With the unpredictable characteristics of disaster events (especially natural and pandemic), it is urgent to find a collaboration model for effective disaster management. As a concept, an approach and a method disaster management is not a monodisciplinary, but cross-disciplinary, whether it is multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary. Using a description and information analysis approach using secondary data through the literature review, this study discusses the link and contribution issues of disaster management. The results of the discussion show that apart from being multidisciplinary, disaster management is also interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. In the disaster management cycle, there are important roles that differ between multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary. This preliminary finding may be useful for researchers, policy makers, disaster managers and others to start cooperating in reducing disaster risk. A more comprehensive and in-depth study is needed to see the relationship between disaster management and related sciences for strengthening disaster management in the future.

Gender problems are one of the problems that arise during a disaster. Women's are often seen as weak communities so women's roles when pre, current and post-disaster situations are very minimal. The condition of vulnerability to disasters more is further aggravated in the post-disaster period. Women who are victims of disasters often have not received special attention in the refugee camps. This is because the role of women in post-disaster conditions is still very minimal. The involvement of women only at the stage of managing foodstuffs besides that, women that involved are not women victims of the disaster but volunteers. Women can empower communities in disasters because of the skills and capacities of women when doing domestic activities at home (caring for children, washing, cleaning the house, etc.). Based on the conditions in Klaten Regency, there needs to be socialization and education regarding the importance of the gender mainstreaming strategy in disasters, especially post-disaster period. Dissemination and education to strengthen the gender mainstreaming strategy is carried out by providing material on trauma healing due to disasters through songs. Women have the ability as caregivers who are better than men, therefore empowering women when a post-disaster situation becomes an aspect that needs attention in the disaster management cycle.

In a conventional view, customers just purchase the goods or services created by companies. But the role of customers has changed. Now customers are seeking to practice their influence in every part of the business system as a co-creator. What is co-creation? Is it like customization? The answer is yes and no. The difference between co-creation and customization depends on the degree of involvement of the customer in the business. Generally, the customer plays a much more active role in co-creation than customization. Co-creation refers to almost every part of a business, but customization is restricted to the end stage of production. Co-creation can happen in the process of sales support, which can ultimately improve sales performance. This paper illustrates the relationships among co-creation, sales support and sales performance, and designs an experiment to test.

Facing the increased frequency of disasters and resulting in massive damages, many countries have developed their frameworks for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, these frameworks may differ concerning legal, policy, planning and organisational arrangements. We argue that geospatial data is a crucial binding element in each national framework for different stages of the disaster management cycle. The multilateral DRM frameworks, like the Sendai Framework 2015–2030 and the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UNGGIM) Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters, provide the strategic direction, but they are too generic to compare geospatial data in national DRM frameworks. This study investigates the two frameworks and suggests criteria for evaluating the utilisation of geospatial data for DRM. The derived criteria are validated for the comparative analysis of India and Bulgaria’s National Disaster Management Frameworks. The validation proves that the criteria can be used for a general comparison across national DRM.

To the surprise of both governments and NGOs, village-level caste organisations – or panchayats - played a significant role in the post-tsunami relief effort to fisher-men in Tamil Nadu, India. This paper discusses the pro-active role of caste pancha-yats in relief from the perspective of social resilience, a factor that is frequently ar-gued to be of importance for disaster management. It presents panchayat action as an expression of collective agency that has a long tradition in the fishing villages of the region. Finally, comparing the reactions of caste panchayats in the post-tsunami situation with their performance in other instances of collective need, it considers their future role in fields such as fisheries management.

Developing countries have still shortage of housing due to natural disasters. Houses get destroyed wholly or partly and it causes the increase of lack of housing stock of a country. In disaster management cycle, rehabilitation or reconstruction is an important issue to protect, reduce or mitigate the effect of disasters. For sustainable urban development, disaster consideration is as important as it helps to maintain the development growth rate and tries to make sure that the settlements are in a stable way. The paper describes the natural disasters and issues related to proper disaster housing for sustainable urban development on the basis of literature.
