“…Flood socioeconomic vulnerability was assessed by combining the SOVI and FFI (Tanir et al, 2021;Tanir et al, 2021b). While combining them, new index values are determined by considering the value of SOVI and FFI.…”

“…In our study, SOVI was performed with the hazard of place approach (Cutter et al, 2003;Cutter et al, 2012) which enables researchers to combine biophysical, social, and socioeconomic parameters to evaluate vulnerability levels of geographic locations (Fernandez et al, 2016;Khajehei et al, 2020;Tanir et al, 2021a). A variety of vulnerability parameters have been used on the characteristics of the studied area (Roder et al, 2017).…”

“…Populations with a higher portion of females, elder people, and illiterate people are more likely to be affected by any hazard (Bolin & Bolton, 1986;Chakraborty et al, 2020;Cutter et al, 2003;Fernandez et al, 2016;Khajehei et al, 2020;Medina et al, 2020;Roncancio & Nardocci, 2016;St. Cyr, 2005;Tanir et al, 2021a).

“…Vulnerability is defined as a measure of ho a system is sensitive, susceptive, and adaptive to any hazard (Munyai et al, 2019). Flood vulnerability is a quantification of how people, societies, or any kind of system will be affected by any flood events (Munyai et al, 2019;Tanir et al, 2021a;Zahran et al, 2008). By comparing the vulnerability levels of different societies, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of a society to flood hazards are also evaluated (Munyai et al, 2019).…”

Doğal afetler düşünüldüğünde, taşkınlar en sık karşılaşılan ve de en fazla hasara sebep olanlar arasında yer almaktadır. Taşkın riskini oluşturan bileşenlerin değerlendirilmesi ve riskin sayısallaştırılması, bu risk gerçekleştiğinde karşılaşılması beklenen büyük boyutlu etkilerden korunmak için önemlidir. Taşkın riskini kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirebilmek için riskin sosyal ve biyofiziksel katmanlarının birlikte ele alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, toplumun herhangi bir dış baskı faktörüne karşı adaptasyon yeteneğini ve duyarlılığını ölçen Sosyal Etkilenebilirlik Endeksi, tüm Türkiye özelinde il bazında değerlendirilmiştir. Literatür taraması ve veri ulaşılabilirliği göz önüne alınarak 8 farklı etkilenebilirlik parametresi belirlenmiştir. Sosyal Etkilenebilirlik Endeksi analizi sonucunda 14 farklı şehir çok yüksek derecede etkilenebilir olarak nitelendirilmiştir. 1960 ve 2021 yılları arasındaki tarihi taşkınlar il bazında analiz edilmiştir. Sosyal Etkilenebilirlik Analizi ve tarihi taşkınların değerlendirilmesi sonucunda bu 14 şehirden yalnızca 3’ü Taşkın Sosyal Etkilenebilirlik Endeksi’nde en yüksek dereceyi almışıtr. Bu Taşkın Sosyal Etkilenebilirlik Endeksi analizi sonuçları yalnızca riskin sosyal veya biyofiziksel katmanlarının yeterli olmadığı, riskin kapsamlı şekilde ifade edilebilmesi için bu iki katmanın birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmada uygulanan ve önerilen yöntem karar vericiler için kullanışlı bir metod olmakla beraber tüm Türkiye’deki taşkın hazırlık yetkinliğini arttırmada rol oynayabilecektir.

Service Accessibility Risk (SAR) Assessment for Pluvial and Fluvial Floods in an Urban Context

et al. 2021

The development of strategies to adapt to and mitigate the potential adverse consequences of natural hazards requires support from risk assessment studies that quantify the impacts of hazardous events on our society. A comprehensive analysis of risk commonly evaluates the elements exposed to the hazard probabilistic scenarios and their vulnerabilities. However, while significant advances have been made in the assessment of direct losses, indirect impacts are less frequently examined. This work assesses the indirect consequences of two hydrologic hazards, i.e., pluvial and fluvial floods, in an urban context from a system perspective. It presents a methodology to estimate the services accessibility risk (SAR) that considers the accessibility of roads and the connection between providers and users of services in a city. The feasibility of the proposed approach is illustrated by an application to a pilot study in Monza city (northern Italy) considering pluvial and fluvial flood hazard with different return periods. The results in terms of the social and economic impacts are analyzed considering features of age, disability, and the different economic sectors.

Development of a composite regional vulnerability index and its relationship with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

et al. 2023

The interactions between vulnerability and human activities have largely been regarded in terms of the level of risk they pose, both internally and externally, for certain groups of disadvantaged individuals and regions/areas. However, to date, very few studies have attempted to develop a comprehensive composite regional vulnerability index, in relation to travel, housing, and social deprivation, which can be used to measure vulnerability at an aggregated level in the social sciences. Therefore, this research aims to develop a composite regional vulnerability index with which to examine the combined issues of travel, housing and socio-economic vulnerability (THASV index). It also explores the index’s relationship with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting both social and spatial inequality, using Greater London as a case study, with data analysed at the level of Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs). The findings show that most of the areas with high levels of composite vulnerability are distributed in Outer London, particularly in suburban areas. In addition, it is also found that there is a spatial correlation between the THASV index and the risk of COVID-19 deaths, which further exacerbates the potential implications of social deprivation and spatial inequality. Moreover, the results of the multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) show that the travel and socio-economic indicators in a neighbouring district and the related vulnerability indices are strongly associated with the risk of dying from COVID-19. In terms of policy implications, the findings can be used to inform sustainable city planning and urban development strategies designed to resolve urban socio-spatial inequalities and the potential related impacts of COVID-19, as well as guiding future policy evaluation of urban structural patterns in relation to vulnerable areas.
