Multi-hazard risk assessment and decision making

The Role of the Local Government in Protection From Natural Disasters and Other Forms of Hazards in Serbia

“…The term hazard is a potentially damaging physical occurrence, a phenomenon, a substance or human activity that may cause loss of life or injury, damage to material goods, the interruption of social or economic activity or ecological degradation [11]. In that context, it is essential that the state influences the reduction of risks and dangers, increases the importance of participation and effectiveness of resources and capacities engaged in the process of emergency management, and thus, at the same time contributes to the security and development of the whole society.…”

Model Pendugaan Kerugian Akibat Bencana Letusan Gunung Api Di Sektor Pertanian

“…Perhitungan luas area tanam, peluang kerugian dan biaya perbaikan juga perlu disesuaikan untuk menghitung total kerugian ekonomi. Dengan menggunakan data hipotetik dan data luas area tanam D.I Yogyakarta serta model pendugaan kerugian akibat letusan gunung api diperoleh nilai kerugian dan selang kerugian untuk masing-masing tanaman jenis-i berumur-j yang berada di zona-k, serta didapatkan juga nilai kerugian dan selang yang dialami per hektar luas tanaman jenis-i berumur-j berada di zona-k. perubahan lingkungan [6]. Bahaya jika dikaitkan dengan kerentanan sosial akan menimbulkan suatu risiko.…”

Responsible Land Aministration in Disaster Risk Management

“…Within (WB and GFDRR, 2012) three variables have been identified which drive disaster risk: exposure, hazard and vulnerability. Comparing other definitions of disaster by (van Westen, 2009) (van Westen & Montoya, 2011, and (WB and GFDRR, 2012) shows that they differentiate just by the wording and by the focus set within the definition, whereas the focus of the definition can be seen in relation to the institution behind the definition.…”

“…The researchers have further analysed the potential of the LA-DRM model based on the disaster cycle and its phases as shown in (van Westen, 2009). Nevertheless, it needs to be emphasised that there are different definitions of the DRM phases and stages depending on the institution, organisation and purpose of intervention.…”

“…This presents a structured approach where the disaster phases as separated but related activities are used to show how the integrated model with its classes (Party, Social Tenure Relationship and Spatial Unit) evolve and contribute over time. The phases, the researchers are working with, are Mitigation and Prevention, Preparedness, Prediction and Warning, Response, Recovery, and Risk Assessment -based on the definitions in (UNISDR, 2017) and (van Westen, 2009). Figure 11 does not cover all potentials and activities but aims to provide a general overview.…”
