| Abstract: |
Risk-based planning focuses on consequences (over likelihood) mitigated by land-use planning (over infrastructure). We report on risk-based planning in Aotearoa New Zealand's amended Resource Management Act (1991) where Rawlsian-style distributive justice for vulnerable groups was promoted through councils' use of 'sensitivity classes' for the infrastructure and assets they use, thereby mitigating exposure. We note, however, that this use may have been prompted by a significant disaster that may have only temporarily and variably countered widespread opposition to land-use planning 'restrictions'. Consequently, future research should connect these nuts and bolts to the broader, ideological scaffolding of disaster justice and disastrous governance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
