Acceptance in a Disaster Area: Process Technologies for Implementation Scientists

Abstract

This study introduces the process technology for implementation scientists to enter a disaster field and provides two case studies by focusing on the technology. First, its theoretical background is introduced. Second, it defines process technology as know-how for implementation and practice, capacity building and social development for knowledge ownership. Third, it further elaborates on process technology for acceptance in a community. Then, it provides two cases of process technology use, one for the relief stage and the other for the revitalization phase. Finally, future views of this technology are discussed with emphasis placed on teaching methods for this technology.
