ABSTRACT The repeated occurrence of d",Vil5~5tiJlg natur,'] ,,,,lamitlE)s has become a major con"ern for the poli(~.v maken:: ancl pJ "fl"ers. Tho impact of such phetlOmena arc ext.ens",ve anu the recovery pl"OCeSS is lengthy. Cyclone is one of the major disast.ers uccuring in Ball\lladesh. The present study attempts to deal wi.th the institutional aspect of cyeIon" disast.Pl" managoment, The main objectivf's of the stud~' were (j) to understand the n"ture of functional co-ordination among the national, regional ilnd 10"al level government, ""mi.-qovernment and non~(jovernment agencies in cyclone disaster milllagemenl, (ill to invesligate the ,,,,lure of institutional support available at the \Jrar;sroots level ill ,nJar-eneSS gcncration, w~r"in<J diGGemin,ltjoll "nd evacuatjon, (iii) to inveGtigate the lIiLtur-e01 pooplo'G per""pLioll and rCGpom'e to forementionE'd .iSSIIPSam] finally, (iv) to propose an inGtitution,,1 fr"mework which '>'nuld facilitate more effi"j"nL management of "yclolle disaGV,r in('orpar~~.iIlY tJeople'G particip"tioll. The questionn"ire Slit V,JY for the st.uc1y",,"s conducted in twa Thana (Kutubdi" "nd C1wkaria) unclE'TCox's Bazar cliGtr.ict. Two sets of questionll"ire were prepared for t.his survey, ono for the households and the ol:llel oue for tho institut.joIls "resent in the are,~ which are involved with variouG stage~ of cyclune disaster manag"'ment. The househollls were ChO£:C'1lfromtwo WUTS"Laffectod areas of thr"e unions under e1Jch or the forement.ioned TIJ1Jna. In total 300 houselJOld~ were GUJ:'veyedunder ~y~tematic random s"mpliny process. The two GetG of 'luestionnaire helped in identify,ing tile problems encounter",d by the restJonllent G during di fferent stageG of the cyclone. It has boon learned thilt people's geuer"l awarcncc;s about various issu8s relat<"c1 with cyclone is lacking which result .in widespread uon-re£:(lon"e to the institutiunal support. Besides this, lack of well organis",d jn"ti l,u'tion1Jl support alGo caused geneT~l disbelief in cyclone warningG and Jlon-ev""",,tion ill 1991. The grave memory of this "YO'jone rlr~milti"i111y challyecl people'£: attitude towaJ:'ds in~titutjon"l 5upport which h'a~ relatively strength",ned or improved after the devastaLion o[ 1991 cyclone. , On the basis of tile findings from the inGt.itutjon~l survey, tile 1 problems that are encoulltel"ed by v"r ious local levc!l ilwt i tutj 011" at diffeJ:'ent stages of cy"lone di~a~ter Jn1JIl1Jejementarecategori.sed I, • ~' . , into following five' groups: organJsationaJ, [in"",,1.Lll, legal, inlrastructural and c:ocial or peop,le oLif'nteo. ~lajorJty of the .identitied problemc: and their c:uggesteClsolut.ions at.e org<lniRationJ ill nature whieh indicate that organisational strengtJH'ning is f',,,,,,,,ti,,l [ur a uetter cyclone cl1saster managemont GYGtem.
