Abstract:Gender-based relationships that are developed in a historical and cultural context, on the one hand, influence men as well as women's experience with disasters. On the other hand, their experiences with disasters, especially the experiences with the disaster recovery and reconstruction process in turn reconstruct their relationships. This paper constructs the historical development of research on natural disaster from a gender perspective based on a review of the literature since the 1970s. While dwelling briefly on the existence of gendered vulnerability theory, it identifies main issues in discussion, namely, gendered differences in mortality rate and in access to relief resources, including healthcare, and violence against women. Finally, the paper looks ahead into the future to suggest research on increasing risks of disasters because of climate change and rapid urbanization from a cross-cultural and gender perspective.
