Description
The aim of this thesis is to explore the roles of the universities in disaster management and to develop a framework for understanding of that role. It used a mixed-methods research approach, which combines both qualitative and quantitative research and data into a single study to achieve a more elaborate understanding. The developed framework may better understand and organise universities’ roles and assist universities to improve their preparedness and confidence, enhancing relationships between the university and the community it serves, engaging with experts and volunteers from the community, and contributing to the development of future policy and practice.
