The use of indigenous knowledge and technology for earthquake safety promotion by the Civil Society Organization (CSO)
Summary
“Local knowledge is knowledge that is in conformity with general scientific principles, but which, because it embodies place-specific experience, allows better assessment of risk factors in production decision. This kind of knowledge arises when local people undertake their own experimentation, or where they are able to draw inferences from experiences and natural experiments.” (Richards,1994)
