Flood detention areas (FDAs) in China, as unique geographical spatial units, serve the dual purpose of flood control and livelihood protection. These FDAs typically exhibit lower levels of socioeconomic development compared to their surrounding regions. In the context of escalating climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the utilization of FDAs has become...

People have a desires to own coastal landscapes. The purpose of zoning is for land to be used in a way that enables all people to access coastal spaces and be safe from the impacts of climate change. According to prior studies, coasts are structurally vulnerable to flooding, and it is important to secure disaster-preventive area by zoning.
However, in many coastal cities in South... -

Heavy rainfall and resulting floods pose an imminent threat to critical infrastructure (CI) (Fekete, 2021). Roads are especially vulnerable, as they might become impassable for cars and emergency vehicles, leading to cascading effects that endanger the function of other critical services (Groenemeijer et al., 2015). Road disruptions present a major challenge for emergency medical service (EMS)...

Global climate change has significantly increased the frequency of extreme weather events, with floods becoming an increasingly severe and unpredictable threat to urban areas. Consequently, flood control has emerged as a critical strategy to ensure public safety, particularly in transitional zones between urban areas and water bodies, such as waterfronts. In response, the city of Chongqing,...

Extreme phenomena caused by climate change have led to an increasing intensity and frequency of precipitation events, gradually becoming normalized. In light of these rising flood risk challenges, most urban area engineering structures remain the prevailing flood risk management strategies to reduce the impact of flooding. However, the short-term effectiveness of these structural measures in...

Disaster resilience is increasingly recognized as a critical capacity for communities to withstand and recover from hazardous events. Communities that demonstrate higher resilience typically experience reduced impacts from disasters and shorter recovery periods. Building a resilient community to disasters has become a primary objective of disaster management aimed at absorbing and mitigating...

Modern urban transportation systems prioritize efficiency and precision, often overlooking resilience and adaptability under extreme events. While transit-priority policies have gained global recognition, their systemic value in emergency response remains underexplored. This study re-evaluates the role of urban public transitโparticularly busesโin extreme scenarios, emphasizing their potential...

Climate change, driven by human activity, has intensified extreme weather events, causing significant losses, especially in vulnerable communities (IPCC, 2023). In Brazil, data from 2023 indicate that around 73% of the population lives in municipalities with high risk of flooding, flash floods, or landslides (Anjos, 2024). In this context, the integration between environmental risk management...

Cities, which host more than half of the worldโs population, play a significant role as centers of economic, social, and cultural activities. However, this density also turns cities into hubs of crises.

In recent years, climate change has exacerbated pluvial flooding, and consequently, flood risk management has become a key priority for our cities and society (Rosenzweig et al., 2018). A paradigm shift from resistance to resilience-focused strategies is emerging, emphasising the need for cities to 'bounce forward' to new equilibria rather than returning to pre-flood normality (Hegger et al.,...

The main reasons for natural events turning into disasters in Turkey are that most cities are located in earthquake-prone areas, the building stock in those cities is constructed in a seismically unsafe manner, urban development occurs in geologically risky areas, and the production of non-resilient structures cannot be prevented. Researchers and practitioners focusing on resilience mostly...

As the complexity of urban disaster management increases, the construction of urban disaster-related ontologies becomes crucial. However, existing urban disaster-related ontologies do not sufficiently consider human factors, particularly in the knowledge modeling of dynamic interactions among humans, disasters, and the environment in disaster response, making it difficult to effectively...
