“…Even though the sources of hazards are disastrous, flooding-induced hazards can be limited if the infrastructure has a strong capacity to adapt [23,24]. To create safe living environments, increasing social investment is being spent on the construction of infrastructure in urban areas, such as underground reservoirs [25][26][27][28], sewers [29][30][31][32], underground storage and drainage systems [33][34][35][36]. These underground infrastructures serve as reservoirs to store and regulate water under extreme weather conditions.…”

Natural hazards have a significant impact on the sustainable development of human society. This paper reports on the catastrophic floods in western Japan in 2018. Continuous rainfall resulted in catastrophic floods, leading to 212 deaths, damage to more than 2000 houses and 619 geological disasters in 31 prefectures. The causes and contributing factors of these catastrophic floods are analyzed. The analysis of the causes of typical natural hazards provides an important lesson for hazard prevention and management. To adapt to climate change and prevent natural hazards in the future, the preliminary investigation and sustainable perspective analysis in this paper suggest the importance of the construction of a spongy city and the establishment of an early warning system with the help of information science and artificial intelligence technologies (ISAIT); we also highlight the urgent need to improve and strengthen the management of infrastructure.

“…It is an extensively used Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique in different disciplines owing to its feasibility in calculation that helps in decision making by a host of government and non-government agencies ( Dos Santos, Neves, Sant’Anna, Oliveira, & Carvalho, 2019 ; Omar, Bushby, & Williams, 2019 ). It is because of this computational convenience and pervasive understanding that we chose the method over modified AHP ( Lyu, Sun, Shen, & Arulrajah, 2018 , 2020 ) and other MCDM techniques like PCA ( Earnest et al, 2015 ) or the more robust and spatial variant of it – Geographically Weighted Principal Component Analysis (GWPCA) ( Basu, Das, & Pal, 2020 ; Das et al, 2020 ; Mishra, 2018 ). Other techniques like Slum Severity Index ( Patel et al, 2014 , 2019 , 2020 ) that is being recently developed and applied in multiple contexts along with deviating from only slum based indices, is also a simpler option for computation and drawing inferences.…”

The global pandemic has an inherently urban character. The UN-Habitat's publication of a Response Plan for mollification of the SARS-CoV-2 based externalities in the cities of the world testifies to that. This article takes the UN-Habitat report as the premise to carry out an empirical investigation in the four major metro cities of India. The report's concern with the urban character of the pandemic has underlined the role of cities in disease transmission. In that wake, the study demarcates factors at the sub-city level that tend to jeopardize the two mandatory precautionary measures during COVID-19-Social Distancing and Lockdown. It investigates those factors through a Covid Vulnerability Index. The Index devised with the help of Analytic Hierarchy Process demarcates the low, moderate, high, and very high vulnerable city sub-units. Secondly, UN-Habitat's one of the major action areas is evidence-based knowledge creation through mapping and its analysis. In our study, we do it at a granular scale for arriving at a more nuanced understanding. Thus, in harmony with the UN-habitat's we take the urban seriously and identify the gaps that need to be plugged for the pandemic cities of now and of the future.

“…The advantage of the method is the ability to reasonably compare heterogeneous factors. The AHP is widely used in practice and is actively developed by scientists around the world, for example, for risk evaluation [52][53][54], for evaluation of sustainable development of territories, cities, and industry [55][56][57][58]. The method has also found wide application in solving problems of analysis and evaluation of relationships in biological ecosystems [59][60][61].…”

This paper highlights a sustainability and self-organization perspective of the innovation ecosystems. Such issues as under what conditions self-organization takes place and what mechanisms form an innovation ecosystem in a sustainable way are underexplored in the academic literature. To ensure self-development of actors in the ecosystem, a self-adjustment mechanism is needed that allows implementation of sustainability principles. This article proposes a practical tool for assessing an actor in an ecosystem using the method of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), developed by T. Saaty. It allows for operationalizing the processes of self-organization in the ecosystem without an external intervention and addresses the main implications for sustainable development of innovation industrial ecosystems. The authors illustrate their assumptions with an empirical case study of the industrial ecosystem “Technologies for Improving the Quality of Life” (Moscow, Russia). The propositions arising from this analysis provide information to help academics, policymakers, government, and individual enterprises with a more adequate understanding of the practical mechanisms and tools that help trigger self-organization and sustainable development of the innovation ecosystems.
