Slum dwellers response to flooding events in the megacities of India

The major cities in developing countries are changing rapidly. Factors that are driven by the process of global change, followed by changes in the environment, social, cultural, political and economic scale, causing disasters and losses are changing day by day. These changes also change the ability of society to respond to disaster events. In this paper we will explore the reaction of slum dwellers who are the most vulnerable and marginal part of the urban population, often at high risk of risk, not mitigating or alleviating the impact of floods. The marginalized population of the metropolis has been adversely affected by a massive global change process and has not benefited from the mitigation strategies adopted by municipal authorities. Therefore, this document asserts that people living in informal settlements must use structural means and complex aid networks to recover from the flood. Based on the Mumbai slam family survey data, this research shows the types of coping strategies used by slum dwellers and the changing characteristics of these mechanisms under the influence of the global change process in large cities. In addition, the results show that respondents' responses are not equal due to potential socio - cultural inconsistencies and new economic and political constraints. In this paper, in order to deal with the difference between the urban society and the settlement of the slums, (1) to take more comprehensive the people left behind from society, and (2) to be sensitive to the limits and scope of the old and new social structure To support the network to cope with the effects of global changes.

Jockin Arputham, 60 years old, lived in a slum area on the outskirts of Mumbai since 1963. As the president of the National Slums Residents Association and the international organizations of slum dwellers, he is convening the world's poorest urban dwellers to improve their environment. By 2030, the number of slum dwellers is expected to reach 2 billion people - factors of poverty, illness and political instability. It is the first person to help the poor negotiate with the city authorities to secure land ownership - the biggest obstacle to improve slums. Dozens of other new city groups are working in 70 countries and benefit hundreds of thousands of people. Global urbanization is inevitable, and these new groups will have more ecological impact.

The marginalized population of the metropolis has been adversely affected by a massive global change process and has not benefited from the mitigation strategies adopted by municipal authorities. Therefore, this document asserts that people living in informal settlements must use a combination of structural means and complex aid networks to recover from the flood.
