Abstract
BACKGROUND: Disaster risk is a product of a combination of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability.
Governance in the health system is a multifaceted sphere, with political, economic, and legal
dimensions. Disaster risk governance is an analytical framework employed for assessing the
capacity of institutional governance. This study has been conducted to investigate the current
status of national strategy documents concerned with disaster risk governance in Iran through
document analysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The investigated documents were collected through requests from
the secretariat and the archives. 102 documents were analyzed. Twelve documents in the domain
of accountability, 7 in participation, 9 in state and nonstate actor, 14 in knowledge sharing, 21 in
sustainable developments, and 19 documents in integrated risk management were analyzed. The
process of analysis included selecting documents and evaluating and analyzing them by content
analysis method.
RESULTS: Documents coded according to the main areas of policymaking in disaster risk governance
were analyzed, and sub‑component and related topics were deduced in each domain. The acquired
themes include unity of command, trustee, commitment, capacity prosperity, align strategy, information
synergy, knowledge enhancement, sustainable security, justice clarity, land use planning, climate
change adaptation, environment reform, wisdom, environment, diplomacy, capacity and coherence.
CONCLUSIONS: Disaster good governance is strengthened by the trustee, commitment, capacity
prosperity, align strategy, and organize. Information synergy and knowledge enhancement are
effective in the culture of prevention. Collective wisdom, diplomacy, and capacity coherence raise
the alignment of public organizations and the government in the risk management process.
