The concept of vulnerability has its origins in Latin words, the noun vulnus (‘to wound’), the verb vulnerare (‘to wound’) and the Late Latin adjective vulnerabilis, which was adopted into English in the form of ‘vulnerable’ in the early 1960s (Forbes-Mewett & Nguyen-Trung, 2019; Ford et al., 2018; Timmerman, 1981). In the 1970s, the concept was predominantly used in the natural and environmental hazards studies to understand the consequences of natural disasters and coping measures (Burton et al., 1978, 1993; Wisner, 2016; Wisner & Luce, 1993). However, Kelman et al. (2016) argued, while developing the concepts of vulnerability and resilience, that there was a formal overlap of literature on disaster research with ongoing work in international development (for details, Ball, 1975; Burton et al., 1978; O'Keefe, 1976; Timmerman, 1981).

摘要

The concept of vulnerability has its origins in Latin words, the noun vulnus (‘to wound’), the verb vulnerare (‘to wound’) and the Late Latin adjective vulnerabilis, which was adopted into English in the form of ‘vulnerable’ in the early 1960s (Forbes-Mewett & Nguyen-Trung, 2019; Ford et al., 2018; Timmerman, 1981). In the 1970s, the concept was predominantly used in the natural and environmental hazards studies to understand the consequences of natural disasters and coping measures (Burton et al., 1978, 1993; Wisner, 2016; Wisner & Luce, 1993). However, Kelman et al. (2016) argued, while developing the concepts of vulnerability and resilience, that there was a formal overlap of literature on disaster research with ongoing work in international development (for details, Ball, 1975; Burton et al., 1978; O'Keefe, 1976; Timmerman, 1981).
