ABSTRACT

Nowadays, new types of disasters happen and they are different from the traditional ones, but the concepts of four phases which was made in 1970s are accepted without doubt. The the concepts of existing four phases of disaster management is grounded on the next assumptions explicitly and implicitly. The first is visible and physical oriented disaster management. The second is linear and circular one. The third is efficiency and government oriented one. These could affect the activities in four phases and limit the further understanding. If response and recovery phase would be compared, existing assumptions could be found easily. In response phase, rescuing the lives and property is the most important goal and efficiency is the foremost value. Visible and physical parts are focused and it is easy to prescribe the works to be done. In contrast, recovery phase means the returning to level of pre-accident times and it should contain the recovery of social capital like trust and network. Because these aspects are invisible, cause and effect relations are vague, complex or hard to prove. Efficiency cannot treat them properly and the focus of the recovery phase cannot but to be value oriented. With this reason, the logics of response and recovery phase are different and the phases of disaster management can be nonlinear or uncircular.
