Impact of Floods on Livelihoods and Vulnerability of Natural Resource Dependent Communities in Northern Areas of Pakistan

Abstract

Gilgit and Chitral are thought to be most powerless against atmosphere fluctuation including flooding. The recurrence and seriousness of surges in Northern regions in the course of the most recent decade has expanded extensively. Through subjective demonstrating the paper investigates the effect of surges on normal asset subordinate groups in Northern Areas in particular Gilgit and Chitral. The outcomes show that a few attributes of the socio-social condition seem to moderate hazard and diminish defenselessness. In this specific circumstance, the part of informal communities in improving business security is fundamental. The paper reasons that both if there should arise an occurrence of occasional varieties in horticultural yield and surges, people that have successfully expanded their jobs, both occupationally and geologically, are less delicate than people who predominantly accomplish privilege to sustenance by means of product development. In any case, the peoplegetting settlements were likewise in better condition to alleviate the surge related vulnerabilities in the zone.

District-level disaster risk and vulnerability in the Northern mountains of Pakistan

“…We conclude that this study identify only the most susceptible districts and population at risk within 5 km buffer zone encompassing from human settlements/villages, devoid of sufficient spatial resolution for the identification of vulnerable settlements or villages within the districts. An integration of environmental, socio-economic and physical dimensions of vulnerability is used for the estimation of the risk ranking and coping capacity like Habib et al (2017). However, due to the versatile nature of vulnerability as well as data limitation, an all-inclusive approach is mandatory.…”
