dc.descriptionIn Chapter Two, Oluwatoyin Olatundun Ilesanmi employs a case study method to investigate the disaster experience of the elderly and the disabled in Nigeria. She presents the long-standing Ife-Modakeke crisis as one amongst so many violent clashes in Nigeria that have negatively impacted the lives of the vulnerable groups. She uses a Disaster Experience Scale (consisting of four sections measuring demographic variables, disability status, disability assessment schedule and disaster experience) to determine the impact of the most recent Ife-Modakeke crisis on the elderly and the disabled in Nigeria. She raised and tested five hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed a significant difference in the impact of the crisis on the elderly and the disabled than ordinary people in the society. Ilesanmi observes that this finding has implications for clinical and environmental psychologists as well as those in the building industry. That such a crisis will not recur is a wrong assumption, but what to do to minimize its impact on this group of people should be a matter of psychotherapeutic concern, she notes. Ilesanmi concludes that globally, the safety needs of the elderly and the disabled prior to and after disasters must be ascertained and provided for psychologically.
