moment land titles are not defined that gives a little insecurity for them and that is where their insecurity of tenure, people spend no time or effort in developing their settlement.

the priest or the church who have solved their problems by receiving a payment for the work, they do for their own benefit. So, which means the population does participate in the settlement but they are paid for it. So, it becomes a paid process and this paternalism reveals a mistaken concept of charity, which has created an absolute dependence on donations, affecting the population’s dignity and self-esteem.

In this section, the text addresses the issue of dependency created by the church's involvement. Although the church helps the community, it also fosters a sense of reliance on external assistance, as residents are paid for their contributions to rebuilding efforts. This situation may lead to a loss of dignity and self-esteem as individuals become accustomed to receiving help rather than empowering themselves to solve their own problems.

It's like having someone constantly give you a fish instead of teaching you how to fish. At first, it helps you survive, but in the long run, you don’t learn to provide for yourself, and your skills do not develop.

they almost accustomed to kind of begging, tomorrow any problem comes they are expecting someone will support them. So, this is one lesson which we need to learn from this last case study.

The concept of dependency can lead to a cycle where individuals expect assistance for problems instead of attempting to solve them independently. This mindset can stifle personal initiative and the community's ability to thrive, reinforcing a cycle of reliance on external aid without fostering self-sufficiency.

But summarizing, putting altogether is when we have these all the disaster context, we have the loss of lives which is a common context, destroyed housing, damages to services, damages to community education and health infrastructure, destruction of productive facilities, crops and cattle, disruption of local governments because in all the cases there are groups which are migrant groups which have migrated because of terror aspects.

Lastly, the chunk summarizes the overarching lessons learned from disaster contexts. It emphasizes understanding the wide-ranging impacts of disasters—beyond just physical destruction—to include emotional and psychological effects, disruption of services, and challenges faced by vulnerable populations.

When a community suffers from a disaster, it’s not just about the buildings that are damaged; think of it as strings in a musical instrument. When one string breaks, it affects the entire sound. All aspects of community life are interconnected, and damages in one area can lead to a full breakdown in others.
