The advisory committee acts as the bridge between the SDA Laura school, the research team, and the community. They will be the focus on working collaboratively with the researcher, partner, and the community throughout the project.

Net Negative Migration

Between visits to Laura in the period from 2014 - 2019, it has been apparent that many houses are vacant as families migrate to the United States. Through conversations with our community partners, it is evident that this observation is true; however, some families do intend to return at some point. We will not have a deﬁnitive picture until the 2020 census comes out. Negative net migration poses a challenge for projects like this. The immediate challenge our project faces is the ﬁnancial sustainability of a community resilience hub for a community where the sustainability of continual habitation is in question.

A ﬁnding that has come out of this research project thus far is the need to demonstrate our responsibility to the community through action. To accomplish this, we have fast tracked a housing and material resource project in Laura to act as a pilot project that demonstrates the value of our partnership in building community capacity. This project will also be mutually beneﬁcial as it provides the community a demonstration of local knowledge applied to housing issues, and provides us a pilot to scale up with the potential of a national housing strategy.

Survey responses are helping the team design the framework for workshops with the guidance of the advisory council. The workshops, which will be led by community-based working groups, will engage community members in the design and development of the project to meet community needs to strengthen resilience. This project aims to combine climate science with Indigenous ecological knowledge to develop effective long-term adaption strategies for development. The project will provide a case study in the integration of Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Participatory Design that will help build a framework for other such projects in communities facing similar challenges across the globe. The exploration and analysis will build a framework to (1) assist community stakeholders to develop sustainable and resilient land use strategies; (2) illustrate community based best practices for development; (3) promote the applications of sustainable local resources and local knowledge, more speciﬁcally local Indigenous knowledge, in building design and development. These approaches will be applicable to the speciﬁc community of Laura, Majuro, RMI; and more broadly, to vulnerable communities facing parallel issues, such as the Northern Inuit communities of Canada. This framework provides a model for decolonizing sustainable development projects.

Project Timeline: SDA School Laura Campus is looking to integrate a Schematic Resilience Hub for Jeirok District and the broader Laura in Design Introduction the Marshall Islands. The goal is to seamlessly incorporate disaster preparedness into the everyday routine of school Research + Design facilities and the community. The school will remain a K-12, Community Development but additionally, it will serve the community as a social Involvement space. Due to the nature of resilience hubs, the community is encouraged to participate in developing the project from Client: day one.

Due to climate change Marshall Island is predicted to sink over the next decade reducing the quality of resources available to survive. In addition, due to the change in the climate pattern seasonally the country is facing damaging weather related disaster. This project looks to explore methods to introduce disaster preparedness and community capacity building through this school project.

CO-DESIGNING DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN THE PLA DESIGN OF RESILIENCE HUBS IN OCEANIA A Case Study in Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).

Laura 1949

Problem Statement & Context

Partnership Approach

As one of four atoll nations facing the detrimental impacts of sea-level rise, the RMI needs climate change adaptation projects to build community resilience. The master planning and design of a new K- 12 school on the peri-urban islet, Laura, provides such an opportunity within the framework of national adaptation strategies.

Working through decolonial methodologies, we aim to place ownership of the research with the community, provide transparency, and build relationships with the community. To overcome initial barriers to building trust, we built partnerships with cultural teachers, community leaders, community members, and nonproﬁts. Our team and our work is accountable to the community.

The RMI been inundated with researchers over the past decade due to their fragile state as the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for climate change implications on human settlement. Many (if not most) of these studies neglect local communities, lack transparency, and do not allow the communities to control the knowledge creation. Communities are asking for mutual beneﬁt; development that helps them adapt and build resilience is needed.

Land Use Buildings: 10% Roads: 1% Open Space: 91%

Participatory research and analysis will determine the appropriate application of CBDRR within the master planning and design of the K-12 school. An advisory committee made-up of representatives of key stakeholder groups in Laura has been formed to lead the project. All of the methods that will be used for this project will directly go through the advisory committee for review and approval. The advisory committee acts as the bridge between the SDA Laura school, the research team, and the community. They will be the focus on working collaboratively with the researcher, partner, and the community throughout the project.

Through scholarly research drawing on pedagogical approaches to CBDRR through community-based practice, we will further our exploration of how participatory design methodologies and CBDRR strategies can be integrated into a productive model for climate change adaptive and resilient architecture. Our objectives will be accomplished by running participatory workshops to map risks, outline risk reduction strategies, and to enhance participant engagement and impact on the community.

Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Participatory Design are effective methods for centering community in research and design projects, instilling local knowledge within the process. This process allows the community to maintain ownership of the project and build agency. There are few examples that combine these methods within climate change adaptation strategies.

Our main research questions are: (1) How can Community-Based Disaster Risk Management be integrated within the master planning and design of a K-12 school? (2) How can Community-Based, Participatory-Design processes improve community agency in Disaster Risk Reduction? (3) How can a partnership between private enterprise (architect, planner), academic institution, and community organizations (school, municipality, non-proﬁt) work together to accomplish these goals?
