This paper introduces a framework for capacity development for disaster risk reduction in the built environment. The framework was developed as a part of an ongoing research which aims to strengthen the capacities of individuals and institutions in the built environment to ensure that disaster risk reduction meets its mission and goals in a sustainable way. It is presented as a matrix that identifies four stages of capacity development against six groups of stakeholders in the built environment. The stages and the stakeholder groups were derived through a series of expert interviews and a comprehensive literature review. The four stages are named as Analysis, Creation, Utilisation and Retention. This paper in its latter sections focuses on the first stage, Analysis, and presents some of the initial findings of the research. Analysis attempts to capture capacity gaps in the relevant context in order to identify required capacity development. The study reviews literature on Sri Lanka and discusses such capacity gaps. Problems in the regulatory structure, deficiencies in necessary laws and regulations including problems in their implementation, and lack of required resources and skills have been identified as the major capacity gaps in the country.

Šiame darbe pristatoma sistema, leidžianti ugdyti gebėjimą mažinti nelaimių keliamą riziką užstatytoje aplinkoje. Sistema sudaryta vykdant nuolatinį tyrimą, kuriuo siekiama didinti užstatytoje aplinkoje veikiančių individų ir institucijų gebėjimus, idant nelaimių keliamos rizikos mažinimas darniai atitiktų jo misiją ir tikslus. Sistema pateikiama kaip matrica, kurią sudaro keturi gebėjimų ugdymo etapai ir šešios užstatytoje aplinkoje veikiančios interesų grupės. Etapai ir interesų grupės buvo nustatytos apklausiant ekspertus ir išsamiai apžvelgiant literatūrą. Keturi etapai pavadinti "Analizė", "Kūrimas", "Panaudojimas" ir "Išlaikymas". Tolesnėse šio darbo dalyse aptariamas pirmasis etapas "Analizė" ir pateikiamos kelios pradinės tyrimo išvados. Analize siekiama užfiksuoti atitinkamame kontekste esančias gebėjimų spragas, kad būtų aišku, kuriuos gebėjimus reikia ugdyti. Tyrime apžvelgiama literatūra apie Šri Lanką ir aptariamos tokios gebėjimų spragos. Nustatyta, kad pagrindinės šalies gebėjimų spragos yra šios: problemos reglamentavimo struktūroje, būtinų įstatymų ir reglamentų trūkumai, įskaitant jų įgyvendinimo problemas, ir reikiamų išteklių bei įgūdžių stoka.

The main aim of this research is to help post-disaster managers to find most rational solutions by using advanced knowledge and developed Model. Post-disaster management is shared, purposeful activities based upon the development of common understandings and interpretations of means and ends. Stakeholders generate the personal and group decisions which contribute to post-disaster management success. This article describes the development (during EurAsia project) of a Knowledge Model for Post-disaster Management based upon multiple criteria decision making theory. The developed Model involves six stages that help to determine rational post-disaster management alternatives by evaluating post-disaster management' life cycle, stakeholders, micro and macro environment.

Pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas - padėti asmenims, kurie vadovauja darbams likviduojant stichiniu. nelaimiu padarinius, rasti racionaliausius sprendimus, naudojant pažangias žinias ir sukurta modeli. Vadyba po stichiniu nelaimiu - tai bendra, tikslinga veikla, grindžiama priemoniu ir bendro tikslu supratimo bei interpretavi-mo kūrimu. Suinteresuotos grupės priima asmeninius ir grupinius sprendimus, kurie prisideda prie vadybos po stichiniu nelaimiu sėkmės. Šiame straipsnyje aprašoma, kaip buvo sukurtas vadybos po stichiniu nelaimiu žiniu modelis (vykdant EurAsia projekta), pagristas daugiakriterinio sprendimu priėmimo teorija. Sukurta modeli sudaro šešios dalys, padedančios nustatyti racionalias vadybos po stichiniu nelaimiu alternatyvas, ivertinant vadybos po stichiniu nelaimiu gyvavimo cikla suinteresuotas grupes, mikro- ir makroaplinka.

Due to various challenges and opportunities such as globalisation of research agenda and advancements in information and communication technologies, research collaborations (both international and national) have become popular during the last decade more than ever before. Within this context, the concept of Virtual Research Environments(VRE) is an emerging concept looking at addressing the complex challenges associated with conducting collaborative research. Even though concept of VRE is at its infancy, it is important to assess user perception about those, both to establish its success of uptake and future development strategies. However, to date, there is no formal method established to evaluate VREs. This paper reports a strategy adopted within an international collaborative research project (EURASIA) to evaluate its custom built VRE, VEBER, using the well known Computer Human Interaction principles.

Ivairiausi iššūkiai ir galimybės, tokios kaip planuojamu moksliniu tyrimu globalizacija ir informacijos bei komunikacijos technologiju pažanga, pastaraji dešimtmeti lėmė didesni nei bet kada tiriamojo bendradarbiavimo (ir tarptautinio, ir nacionalinio) populiaruma. Šiame kontekste virtualiosios moksliniu tyrimu aplinkos (VMTA) sayoka — tai gimstanti savoka, kuria siekiama imtis sudėtingu iššūkiu, susijusiu su tiriamuoju bendradarbiavimu. Nors VMTA savoka kol kas žengia pirmuosius žingsnius, svarbu ivertinti, kaip vartotojai ja suvokia, siekdami nustatyti, kaip jai seksis prigyti, ir būsimasias plėtros strategijas. Tačiau formalaus metodo VMTA vertinti kol kas nėra. Šiame darbe pristatoma strategija, taikyta tarptautiniame moksliniu tyrimu bendradarbiavimo projekte (EURASIA), nes norima ivertinti specialiai tam sukurta VMTA, pavadinta VEBER, naudojant gerai žinomus kompiuterio ir žmogaus saveikos principus.

Disasters cause substantial damage around the world. This causes serious environmental and economic burden on normal living conditions, reconstruction and general waste collection processes. Within this context, waste management has emerged as a critical issue in responding to a disaster. Thus, this paper addresses post disaster waste management strategies adopted in developing countries and applicability of best global practices in respect of challenges encountered. Comprehensive literature review and field survey among national level institutes in Sri Lanka were conducted to gather information and semi-structured interviews were used as a method of data collection. The findings revealed that strategies, issues and challenges are varying according to type of disaster, magnitude, location, country etc. Further, poor implementation of prevailing rules and regulations; poor standards of local expertise and capacities, inadequate funds, lack of communication and coordination are identified as key issues encountered.

Stichines nelaimes visame pasaulyje pridaro daug žalos. Tai labai pasunkina aplinkosauginê ir ekonominê situacijâ iprastomis gyvenimo salygomis, atstatant aplinkâ ir vykdant bendruosius atlieku rinkimo procesus. Šiame kontekste atlieku tvarkymas išryškejo kaip esmine problema, reaguojant i stichine nelaime. Taigi šiame darbe nagrinejamos atlieku tvarkymo po stichiniu nelaimiu strategijos, taikomos besivystančiose šalyse, ir geriausiu pasauliniu praktiku taikymas, imantis kilusiu iššūkiu. Siekiant surinkti informacija išsamiai apžvelgta literatura ir tiesiogiai ištirtos Šri Lankos valstybines institucijos, o duomenims rinkti pasitelktas pusiau strukturiniu interviu metodas. Iš rezultatu aišku, kad strategijos, problemos ir iššūkiai skiriasi priklausomai nuo stichines nelaimes pobudžio, masto, vietos, valstybes ir pan. Be to, nustatyta, kad pagrindines problemos yra prastas visuotiniu taisykliu ir reglamentu taikymas, prasti vietines patirties standartai ir menkos galimybes, lešu trūkumas, komunikacijos ir koordinavimo trūkumas.
