The literature reveals the importance of local social services both during the aftermath of disaster and in relation to preparedness and enhancing the resilience of communities and individuals. Local social services refers to the services that the municipalities are responsible for, usually it includes social assistance and various services, often including care services. Despite the importance of such services before, during and after disasters there has been limited research on how social services relate to the system of disaster preparedness/civil defence systems and to what extend special Disaster Social Services Response Plans are implemented within social services. Thus the session welcomes papers that address how local social services are organized and implemented during times of disasters, how social services enhance resilience, planning and preparedness as well as long term recovery both among individuals and the community.
The session is a paper session, with 15 minutes scheduled for each paper, that welcomes papers addressing how local social services are organized and implemented during times of disasters, and how local social services enhance resilience and preparedness as well as long time recovery, both among individuals and the community.
*Submission deadline: 30 September 2015*. Abstracts of max 300 words should be submitted online through this link: http://www.isa-sociology.org/forum-2016/

Congress registration fees are divided into regular and student fees. Each student must provide a copy of the valid student card or equivalent. ISA Members are scholars who paid their individual membership fees for the current year to the ISA Secretariat in Madrid. Registration fees have been divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Each participant must identify the economy category in which her/his country of residence is classified and pay the registration fee corresponding to this category. See the table of economies. Daily registration of Euro 120 will be available for purchase at the Registration Desk. A daily registration fee is not available for program participants (paper givers, session organizers, chairs, discussants, etc.) who must register before an early registration deadline. On-line conference registration will open in mid-2015. |
