Building Resilience For Flood Disaster In Malaka-Timor, Indonesia - Risk Perception From Human Geography

by Apolonia Diana Sherly Da Costa

~~238,49€~~ 214,64€ 10% OFF

 <p>This book provides a new and different perspective on human geography as an umbrella understanding of the social science of disaster management, but it is simple to understand, where disaster-affected communities anywhere, for example in this study in disaster communities in Malacca-Timor, eastern Indonesia (female/customary land) can respond to flood disasters with the resilience capacity they have day after day.</p><p>What is presented in this book is very relevant and indicates the concept of resilience to flood disasters from the perspective of the community (human geography) through the use of applied science along with practical social methods or approaches combined with applied GIS data in the form of nine spatial distribution maps of each resilience capacity/asset that flood-affected communities have in coping with disaster impacts or risks. In the relevance of human geography, natural disasters, and spatial studies, we as readers jointly find a bright spot in this book, that natural vulnerability has an impact on physical, social, cultural, economic, religious, legal, and political vulnerabilities, where communities experiencing flood hazards need to learn to deal with and/or practice the resources they have. The resources they have in the scientific trajectory of human geography, disaster management, and spatial studies are specialized in understanding how effective, efficient, and adequate the resilience they have in the study of sustainable livelihood development, is based on the lens of social-ecological integrity. This book provides a clear and digestible understanding for all readers from interdisciplinary scientific backgrounds.</p><br><p></p>

Challenges Of Disasters In Asia - Vulnerability, Adaptation And Resilience

131,84€ + 10% CARD

 <div>The book provides an understanding about the disaster impacts, vulnerability assessment, adaptation pathways and mitigation for strengthening the resilience of the society to various hazards. Multi- dimensionality of disasters is depicted by various approaches and effective modelling. The book is a synthesis of research papers presented at online International Conference on the theme organized by the Centre for Disaster management, Department of Geography, Jamia Millia Islamia in collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management and Regional Remote Sensing Centre (North), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), New Delhi, India during 02-03 March, 2021. The book has been organized into four parts spreading over 28 chapters. Part I deals with the impact assessment of various disasters. Part II examined ecological and socio-economic vulnerability arising out of the disasters. Part III identifies possible solutions for lessening vulnerability to disasters and effective adaptation strategies. Finally, part IV provides an insight for making the societies resilient to the disasters. The main focus of each chapter was laid implicitly on policy concerns focusing on disaster reduction at spatial scales. The book will immensely be helpful for the researchers, academicians and scientific communities for discussing set of questions necessary for future research. It will attract the attention of functionaries, practitioners, policy makers, training institutes and stakeholders for making appropriate methods of communicating risks and adaptation strategies for disaster management.<br></div>
