- Description
- The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 acknowledges indigenous local knowledge (ILK) by calling on governments to engage with communities for the implementation of policies, plans and standards in disaster risk reduction. However, ILK may differ from scientific knowledge, in which ILK is highly contextualised. Whereas scientific knowledge originates from generalisation phenomena that have been tested and approved over time by scientific communities, ILK proves successful at the local level in dealing with flood risk. Scientific knowledge may be successful when applied on a larger scale. A case study has been explored in the Pekan district, in which two communities, Orang Asli and Malay, and the local authorities are participants. Orang Asli, Malay and the authorities represent multiple stakeholders with different types of knowledge that deal with flood risk in one local area. In-depth interviews were conducted to elicit responses from five participants from each of the stakeholders. The findings of this study are: local communities generate knowledge about flood risk through activities such as social memories, experiential learning and observations. Activities that happen within communities that produce flood risk knowledge can be referred to as “flood risk intra knowledge co-production.” The interaction of the local communities and the authorities creates space for knowledge co-production, which generates consultation and engagement, knowledge gathering, sharing, integration, interpretation, application and monitoring and evaluation. The interaction of local communities and the authorities to co-produce flood risk knowledge is referred to as “flood risk inter knowledge co-production.”
