Thirty-three Bosnian refugees were interviewed to identify its community's capacity to respond to and recover from a natural disaster, including community social capital, institutional support, access to resources, economic development, and knowledge and coping. Data were analyzed thematically and theoretically. Four themes emerged: Bosnian community represents a home to its individuals, Bosnian community is a cohesive whole with empowered community outreach, Bosnian community is capable of responding to a natural disaster because of its individuals' aggregated coping skills learned from the war, and environment change affects the Bosnian community's capacity to respond to a natural disaster. The Bosnian community has a strong capacity for social networking, social cohesion, coping, and economic development needed in case of a natural disaster. Future endeavors should be focused on further strengthening the community's current capacity, expanding community links to social capital, and developing volunteer capacity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
