Abstract

The present research aims to highlight the value of incorporating music into natural disaster recovery toward the ultimate goal of better addressing human losses, economic damages, emotional/psychological struggles, and communal/cultural impacts resulting from natural disasters. Qualitative content analysis is the main methodology applied. Music therapy approaches are compared with ethnographic/ethnomusicological approaches at the personal, national, and international levels. The key finding is that the field needs to supplement music therapy approaches with ethnographic/ethnomusicological approaches to aid the recovery of disaster victims, while embracing a multidisciplinary approach, natural disaster management, human connectivity through music, sustainability, education, and training and exercise. This research contributes toward a comprehensive evaluation of not only the benefits but also the shortcomings of the above two approaches.

摘要

本研究旨在强调将音乐融入自然灾害恢复的价值，以实现更好地解决自然灾害造成的人员损失、经济损失、情感/心理斗争以及社区/文化影响的最终目标。定性内容分析是应用的主要方法。音乐治疗方法与个人、国家和国际层面的民族志/民族音乐学方法进行了比较。关键发现是，该领域需要用民族志/民族音乐学方法补充音乐治疗方法，以帮助灾难受害者恢复，同时采用多学科方法、自然灾害管理、通过音乐、可持续性、教育、培训和锻炼实现人类联系。
