“…Cities can adopt similar strategies to mitigate risks and prepare for emergencies, which is increasingly important in the context of global climate change (Al-Wathinani et al, 2023). This includes not only establishing emergency response protocols but also incorporating disaster risk reduction into all aspects of urban planning and infrastructure development (Waheed et al, 2023). Furthermore, the focus on economic stability through legal policies highlights the role of governance in shaping a city's economic health and development trajectory.…”

The high rate of population growth led to migration from rural to urban settlements, causing unregulated growth, urban sprawls, and inefficiencies in city planning of developing countries. yet, in regions like Yemen, rapid urbanization poses significant challenges for urban planners. Addressing these challenges, this study proposes an innovative approach to urban planning in the context of Ibb City, Yemen, a region grappling with rapid urbanization and inefficient land use. The study identifies a significant gap in the integration of strategic planning and technological tools in developing urban areas. The study utilized SWOT technology to examine the internal and external factors, the AHP method to prioritize the factors to make them measurable, and GIS geospatial zonal analysis. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive evaluation of internal and external factors affecting urban land use, with a focus on quantifying priorities for sustainable urban development. The study's results offer a detailed assessment of the social, economic, infrastructure, and environmental aspects of Ibb City, highlighting the interaction between these elements in urban planning. Importantly, the findings extend beyond the local context, presenting a scalable and adaptable model for urban planning, particularly in developing countries with similar urban dynamics. The study underscores the critical role of strategic, data-driven planning in fostering sustainable urban environments, offering significant insights and tools for policymakers and urban planners for sustainable urban growth.

“…By prioritizing Child-Centered Disaster Risk Reduction, the United Nations aims to ensure that children are actively involved in decision-making processes related to disaster preparedness and response. This approach recognizes the unique vulnerabilities and needs of children during disasters, promoting their safety, well-being, and overall resilience (Waheed et al, 2023).…”

The Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF) is a comprehensive strategy for a safe learning environment for teachers, students and school staff. This study assessed the disaster preparedness level of secondary school teachers in the public school district Attock. Three hundred twenty teachers were selected from district Attock public based on their age, gender, qualification, teaching level and teaching experience. A five-point Likert scale survey instrument using the CSS framework was used to analyze the disaster preparedness of secondary school teachers. The data was collected through Google Forms using a survey. Data was standardized on MS Excel for a smooth run on SPPS. The data revealed that the majority of the schools are prepared for disaster. There are safe learning facilities, school disaster management, disaster risk reduction and resilience education. However, no school was found to be highly prepared. At the end of the study, the researcher gives further research recommendations on school safety based on the CSS framework.

“…Furthermore, natural disasters, common in Indonesia due to its geographic location [49], also play a role in CO2 emissions [13,50]. Events such as volcanic eruptions can release significant amounts of CO2 emissions, while disasters like floods and earthquakes can disrupt energy infrastructure, leading to increased reliance on fossil fuels for emergency power [51,52]. Few studies have examined the relationship between natural disasters and CO2 emissions [13].…”

This study examines the influence of non-renewable energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and natural disasters on Indonesia's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions spanning from 1980 to 2021. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is employed, with supplementary robustness checks utilizing Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegration Regression (CCR). The findings reveal that economic growth, along with non-renewable and renewable energy consumption, significantly affects CO2 emissions in both the short and long term. Robustness checks confirm the positive impact of non-renewable energy consumption and economic growth, while renewable energy consumption has a negative effect on CO2 emissions. Moreover, natural disasters exhibit a positive short-term impact on CO2 emissions. Pairwise Granger causality results further underscore the intricate relationships between the variables. To mitigate climate change and curb CO2 emissions in Indonesia, the study recommends implementing policies that foster sustainable economic development, encourage the adoption of renewable energy, and enhance disaster resilience.
