abstract="Cambodia suffers from natural disasters despite rapid economic growth. This study diagnosed the current problems of Cambodia's disaster prevention and preparedness,  and found more effective disaster measures through two focus group interviews. Participants are potential young professionals studying in Korea as an international  graduate student and have been involved in disaster-related activities in Cambodia. Three major disaster measures have been proposed here. First, the effectiveness of  government policy should be improved. To implement the current policy realistically  and effectively, we need to secure budgets, support technology development, and  expand formal education and training. Second, the private sector should cooperate  with civil society to provide better support to the community through corporate  social responsibility activities. Specifically, non-governmental organizations  should strengthen training and monitoring. As a current important issue, hydropower  plants must preserve environmental values according to careful planning. Finally,  community-based activities must be actively conducted (e.g., active tree planting  and differentiated disaster response training by gender or level). The study would  serve as preliminary data to support the Cambodian disaster management plan in the  future.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
