“…In contrast, the social perspective conceives vulnerability as a socially-constructed phenomenon within the context of particular social, political, historical and economic processes and structures that influence social systems, (i.e., individuals, communities, groups) which make them vulnerable (Liverman, 1990, Cutter, 1996, Adger, 1999, Brooks, 2003, Kunte et al, 2014, Mahapatra et al, 2015. Vulnerability is conceptualized as a pre-existing condition and is regarded as a "starting-point" of analysis.…”

2016). Indicator-based assessment of climate-change impacts on coasts: a review of concepts, methodological approaches and vulnerability indices. Ocean and Coastal Management, Indicator-based assessment of climate-change impacts on coasts: a review of concepts, methodological approaches and vulnerability indices AbstractIncreasing human pressures on coastlines and associated threats posed by sea-level rise have stimulated development of a range of different concepts and methodological approaches to assess coastal vulnerability. The first section of this paper summarizes the concepts associated with vulnerability, natural hazards and climate change. The most widely adopted analytical approaches to vulnerability assessment are described, including spatial scales, the need for hybrid approaches comprising both biophysical and social dimensions of vulnerability, and the gradual incorporation of resilience aspects into such methodologies. In particular, the development and application of vulnerability indices is examined, based on a review of more than 50 studies that applied such indices across a range of hazards. The analytical procedures, proposed typologies, and most commonly selected variables are discussed. This overview demonstrates the breadth of vulnerability studies. This leads inevitably to lack of standardization of concepts and assumptions, which results in limited comparability between outputs for coasts from different areas. However, the widespread demand for vulnerability assessment as a component of decision-making in integrated management of the coast justifies pursuing indicator-based vulnerability assessments. In some cases these will explicitly adopt a consistent methodology that enables comparison between sites, whereas alternatively, metrics may be developed that are designed around particular system components and the site-specific functions for which they are valued.

“…Similar efforts in developing hazard and risk information in Sri Lanka were supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) (MoDM 2005). In India and Pakistan, most relevant studies have been confined to state/district level (Abid et al 2016;Deen 2015;Kunte et al 2014;Guleria and Patterson Edward 2012;Rafiq and Blaschke 2012;Saxena et al 2013).…”

170 Research ReportsThe publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects-from computer modeling to experience with water user associations-and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIIWMI's mission is to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people's livelihoods and the environment. IWMI works in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to develop scalable agricultural water management solutions that have a tangible impact on poverty reduction, food security and ecosystem health.
