| Abstract | Methods: By making use of existing literature about resilience, ICH, identity and disaster management, links between concepts were made or clarified. The DROP model was used to see how ICH can contribute to resilience and the disaster management cycle was used to look at different ways for the incorporation of the safeguarding of ICH in disaster management. To put the found links and theories in a practical light, two case studies were found (the Mijikenda in Kenya and the Siksika in Canada). Results: Different forms of ICH, like knowledge, skills, oral traditions, communication systems etc. can contribute towards individual as well as community resilience. First of all, because ICH is part of peoples identities and this in turn feeds into people’s well-being and psychological resilience. Furthermore we have seen that forms of ICH have an effect on the inherent resilience of a community, the starting point of the DROP model, as well as it possibility to feed into preparedness and mitigation efforts. The cases have shown us that there are a lot of different ways to integrate the safeguarding of ICH in disaster management, but that there are also challenges that need to be overcome. Conclusion: ICH can contribute to individual and community resilience in times of disasters. This can give disaster managers a reason to actively contribute to the safeguarding of this heritage. A lot of actors are involved in disaster management therefor many different recommendations have been made in this thesis. These recommendations are believed to provide a good starting point for the question how this integration can and should be done. |
