  • Why Are Women More Vulnerable During Disasters?
    Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development APWLD NGO in consultative status at UN ECOSOC WHY ARE WOMEN MORE VULNERABLE DURING DISASTERS? Violations of Women’s Human Rights in the Tsunami Aftermath 1 Introduction October 2005 This report is a joint effort of women’s organisations and groups involved in relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in the countries affected by the Indian Ocean Tsunami on December 26, 2004. Representatives of women’s organisations participating at the Asian Civil Society Consultation on Post Tsunami Challenges in Bangkok, February 13-14, 2005, from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka and Maldives felt there is a need for a comprehensive report focusing on women’s human rights violations in the tsunami aftermath given the gravity of the violations and the extent of marginalisation and exclusion of women from the rehabilitation process. We would like to make special acknowledgements to Titi Soentoro of Solidaritas Perempuan (Indonesia), Fatima Burnad of Society for Rural Education and Development (India), Pranom Somwong of Migrant Action Program (Thailand), Wanee Bangprapha of Culture and Peace Foundation (Thailand) and Sunila Abeysekera of INFORM (Sri Lanka) for their inputs to the report with detailed testimonies. The objectives of the report are: · to express our deep concern with violations of women’s human rights in the tsunami affected countries: Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Burma. · to draw the attention of the United Nations - a coordinating agency of the international support to the countries affected by the tsunami, governments of the affected countries, national and international non-governmental organisations involved in rehabilitation and reconstruction processes to violations of women’s human rights and women’s specific needs that must be adequately addressed during rehabilitation process.

  • Part 2 Thailand's Response to the Tsunami
    Thousands of fishing boats, boat engines and fishing gear important to local livelihoods have been replaced through various programmes. Photo shows repaired boats in the Chao Lay village of Hin Look Dieu, Phuket. Photo: UNDP PREFACE The tragedy of the tsunami that struck Thailand’s Andaman coast on 26 December 2004, and the devastation and misery it left in its wake, is unprecedented in recent history. This disaster also brought forth an extraordinary response. Thailand, under the strong leadership of the Royal Thai Government (RTG), provided effective, efficient and comprehensive relief and humanitarian assistance to the Thai people, as well as to the large number of foreigners affected by the disaster. The scale of the disaster was matched by the generosity of the Thai people, who came forward to assist the victims of the tragedy in an extraordinary display of humanity. The Thai private sector and local NGOs also played a major role in the relief and recovery effort. Organizations and individuals from around the world contributed money and resources in support of Thailand’s response to the tsunami, and the world gratefully acknowledged the role of the RTG in dealing with the tragedy and its aftermath. Given its capacity and resources, Thailand did not appeal for international financial assistance. The international community has therefore played a relatively small but strategic role in Thailand’s tsunami recovery. The United Nations Country Team (UNCT), bilateral development agencies, and international NGOs have contributed structured support to the Royal Thai Government’s recovery efforts in areas where the RTG welcomed support from international partners: providing technical support, equipment, and direct support to the affected communities.

Slide 2 In the late morning of December 26th, 2004 there was a Tsunami attacked at the 6 provinces in the southern part of Thailand along the Andaman coast, that were: Phuket, Krabi, Trang, Ranong, Phang-nga and Satun. Slide 3 Five thousand, three hundred and nine people (5,309) were death, Eight thousand, four hundred and fifty seven people (8,457) were injured, Three thousand, eight hundred and ten people (3,810) were reported unidentified/missing. Slide 4 Three thousand six hundred and eighty nine houses (3,689) were totally and partially damaged. 27 resorts and hotels were completely destroyed. Slide 5 More than hundred thousands (100,000+) people lost their houses, their property and their family members. Some lost their spouse, some lost their parents and many children became the orphans. They were shock, panic, grief, lost of hope and need immediate mental health care. How did we help them? 2 Slide 6 Before I tell you about what we did during the Disaster period, I would like to inform you about the Health Care System in Thailand first. So you will understand more clearly. In Thailand, we have ninety-three (93) Provincial Hospitals (around two hundred to a thousand beds), seven hundred and sixteen (716) Community Hospitals (around ten to one hundred and twenty beds) at district level and more than four thousands (4,000+) Health Centers at sub district level.

As of today tsunami related deaths have been reported in 11 countries that include Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Maldives, Bangladesh, Somalia, Tanzania and Kenya. The loss of life has been particularly severe in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. According to the Indonesian Health Ministry the death toll has now climbed to nearly 80,000, with 1,240 missing in the northern province of Aceh on the island of Sumatra and along the 115 miles of the islands along Indonesia’s northwestern coast, which is close to the epicenter of the earthquake. WHO estimates 80 percent of Aceh’s west coast has been damaged. The death toll in Sri Lanka and India has also climbed to in excess of 28,508 and 8,955 deaths respectively. India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as the southern state of Tamil Nadu, have been the worst hit areas where nearly 4,000 people are still reportedly missing.

  • Integrating the Phong Tuek Viṣṇu: the Archaeology and Art History of a Forgotten Image1
    Integrating the Phong Tuek Viṣṇu: The Archaeology and Art History of a Forgotten Image1 Paul A. Lavy and Wesley Clarke Abstract—This paper situates the Phong Tuek Viṣṇu, a lesser-known Dvāravatī sculpture from western Thailand, in its archaeological and art historical context in order to demonstrate 7th to 8th century artistic and political connections across mainland Southeast Asia. The circumstances of the Viṣṇu’s rediscovery in the early 1950s, as well as its subsequent “restoration” and preservation at Wat Dong Sak, are examined through reappraisal of documentary evidence, new field reconnaissance, interviews of local residents, and systematic examination of the sculpture itself. Detailed stylistic analysis and conjectural reconstruction of the sculpture’s original appearance place the image within the broader development of the mitred Viṣṇu iconographic type known from sites throughout Southeast Asia. With particular emphasis on the details of the headdress and garment, specific comparisons are made to related sculpture from Thailand, Arakan (Myanmar), Preangkorian Cambodia, and the Cham civilization of Vietnam. The Phong Tuek Viṣṇu’s idiosyncratic features and geographically dispersed stylistic relationships suggest a probable early 8th century date following the mid-to-late 7th century expansion of Khmer elites out of the Kampong Thom area of Cambodia. The Phong Tuek Viṣṇu, therefore, provides valuable testimony of a particularly intense period of interactions spanning mainland Southeast Asia from Arakan in the west to central Vietnam in the east. Introduction Among the overlooked examples of Dvāravatī sculpture is a statue of Viṣṇu (Figure 1) from the site of Phong Tuek in what is today southern Kanchanaburi province, Thailand (see map, Figure 2).

  • Small-Scale Aid's Contribution to Long-Term Tsunami Recovery
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository Small-scale aid’s contribution to long-term tsunami recovery Stephanie Caves Nelson A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Wendy Wolford Kevin Hewison Stephen Birdsall ©2007 Stephanie Caves Nelson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Stephanie Caves Nelson: Small-scale aid’s contribution to long-term tsunami recovery (Under the direction of Wendy Wolford) The December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was followed by a “second tsunami” of international development aid that has subsequently become part of the economic and social fabric of southern Thailand. This research examines the contribution of small-scale international aid efforts toward long-term recovery through the engagement with the tourism sector in the Phang Nga province of Thailand. Two case studies provide insight into how international aid organizations envision economic recovery, how they engage with and impact the local community, and finally how they challenge current models for recovery. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents, Tom and Kathy Caves, who have been my source of inspiration from the very beginning. I also would like to thank my wonderful husband, Jeff, for whole-heartedly being with me every step of the way. Finally, this thesis is in honor of the people of Khuraburi and Khao Lak, Thailand who have suffered so much but yet have found the strength to endure.

They were phylogenetically examined based on RAPD profiles of 2,290 discrete characters including a monomorphic and 226 polymorphic characteristics. The phylogenetic relationships calculated from theses banding data show that the intraspecific genetic similarity (S) values ranged from 0.990 to 1.000, and the interspecific S values ranged from 0.520 to 0.790. The RAPD method can be effectively used in Dillenia study. However, its quality of unreproducible method, it cannot be reasonable used in any study on specific genes or areas. In ad- ditions, sequences from two molecular regions, rbcL gene and psbA-trnH spacer, were analyzed and determined for genetic distances. The rbcL gene sequences were rather ineffective, as all of the paired species displayed no or low genetic distance values.
