In brief:
This section introduces the overarching subject of 'Participation'. This approach to development underpins the application of Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) and, in particular, Community Risk Assessment (CRA). Participation has been discussed, studied and applied in various ways in many sectors since the days of so-called 'community development' in the 1950s and 1960s. This section introduces the core debates and most useful participatory resources for those concerned with risk reduction and is structured as follows:
