Abstract
It has been observed that due to explosive growth of population, changing priorities, economic competition as well as inflation of the resources for social welfare services at the global level are dwindling. Keeping in view the shrinking position of resources for social welfare and community development the concept of participation emerged in area of social sciences and community development since 1980s. By the early 1980s participatory approach slowly and gradually came into use in the community development discourse. It was followed by a rapid growth in the development of methods for involving rural people in examining their own problems, setting their own goals, and monitoring their own achievements. It is important to note that an actively involved and empowered local population is essential for successful rural community development. This chapter on Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) covers a basic introduction to the theory of participation; Paradigm shift in Disaster management, process of CBDRM; participatory risk management planning and implementation and some of the relevant case studies related to various thematic area of the CBDRM in Pakistan.
