Measuring Resilience to Natural Hazards: Towards Sustainable Hazard Mitigation
Measuring resilience to natural hazards is a central issue in the hazard mitigation sciences. This paper applied a confirmatory factor methodology to operationalize the biophysical, built-environment, and socioeconomic resilience dimensions for local jurisdictions in large urban metropolitan areas in South Korea. Mapping the factor scores of the dimensions revealed great spatial variations. The...
متن کاملHazard function theory for nonstationary natural hazards
Impact from natural hazards is a shared global problem that causes tremendous loss of life and property, economic cost, and damage to the environment.

This paper seeks to bring greater rigour in their use. In particular, vulnerability must be understood as a set of socioeconomic conditions that are identifiable in relation to particular hazard risks, and therefore perform a predictive role that can ...
متن کاملResilience to natural hazards: How useful is this concept?
Resilience is widely seen as a desirable system property in environmental management.
