TAILIEUCHUNG - CLIMATE AND DISASTER RESILIENCE IN CITIES

Climate change is happening now. Climate-induced disasters are occurring in the Asia Pacific region, where a distinctly increasing trend has been observed in recent decades. This shows that the region is the most disaster prone, compared with other parts of the world. Studies on the causes of disaster in many affected regions suggest that in a typical disaster, cities with high population density see increases in mortality and number of people affected. Increased economic losses within the region are also inevitable. In most Asian countries, 65–90% of economic activities are concentrated in urban areas. Estimates indicate that two out of three people on the earth will live in urban. | BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT AND DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT This series connects academic research to field practice strengthening the links between the environment disaster and community. The series will be developed on field evidences and community practices and thus will provide specific guides to professionals who are grounded in rigorous academic analysis. The series will have specific focus on community-based disaster risk management urban environmental management human security water community risk communication climate change adaptation climate disaster resilience and community-based practices. xi BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE VOLUME In spite of increased investments in the area of disaster management in recent decades the losses continue to mount. One of the emerging reasons for the current trend of increasing impacts of disasters is the unpredictability of natural hazard events coupled with the tendency of human settlements to move to vulnerable locations including coastal areas in search of economic gains. The urban areas are naturally the most affected due to concentration of habitat and resources. In the current context it is impossible to make resistant urban growth. Instead resilience is becoming more widely accepted where certain vital infrastructures need to be resistant but the urban systems need to be resilient enough to cope with the climate-related hazards. This book highlights the issues of resilience through regional national city- and community-based studies. The book shows how to enhance actions at local levels and how the plans can be implemented through multistakeholder collaboration. xiii PREFACE Due to changes in climatic conditions hydrometeorological hazards are increasing. Cities are becoming more vulnerable due to usual urban issues and additional pressure of climate-related hazards. While it is rather impossible to make a city resistant urban resilience is the possible entry point for dealing the new types of .
