Abstract | This thesis is a grounded theory analysis of resident involvement in the 2013 Forcett Tasmania bushfire disaster. Friday 4 January 2013 was one of the most significant fire days in Tasmania since 1967. The fire threatened life and left a trail of destruction, animals perished, homes, livelihood and landscape were destroyed or damaged. Despite this there appeared to be a level of social structure and processes evident. Many residents carried out a range of actions and activities before, during and after the bushfire disaster. It appeared that residents had a way of doing things and these actions were significant. In the post disaster phase, many of these local processes appeared to be overlooked by the well-intentioned external help or overwhelmed by the visitor-related goodwill. |
