When rehabilitation and duplication collide
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe the way the functioning of a fishing village changed as a result of the tsunami.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper outlines the experiences of the village before and after the tsunami.
Findings
The paper lists all that has been learned from rehabilitation following the tsunami.
Originality/value
It is felt that a conceptual change from “teach the poor man to fish rather than provide him with fish” to “provide boat/net, do the fishing, sell them and give the money to the poor man” is the situation after the tsunami in many fisherfolk villages.
