2025, GÜRCÜKAPI URBAN TRANSFORMATION PROJECT: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL EVALUATION OF STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS

This study aims to assess the Gürcükapı Urban Transformation Project from a multidimensional perspective, focusing on the perceptions of property owners. The research examines various aspects, including identity, accessibility, equity, participation, diversity, environmental sensitivity, economic benefits, workplace features, and quality of life. In this study, a descriptive and cross-sectional research design was used to examine the beneficiaries' perceptions of the Gürcükapı Urban Transformation Project from a multidimensional perspective, with data collected through surveys and open-ended questions. Data collected from a survey of thirty-one property owners sheds light on how different dimensions of the transformation process were perceived. The results indicate that the project has been particularly successful in areas such as identity, accessibility, and equity, with high satisfaction observed regarding the preservation of local heritage and design compatible with the environment. However, there are identified areas for improvement, particularly in participation, economic benefits, and quality of life. The study suggests that future projects should be designed in a more inclusive and balanced manner. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners.

2025, Optical Switching and Networking

For several decades, optical networks, due to their high capacity and long-distance transmission range, have been used as the major communication technology to serve network traffic, especially in the core and metro segments of communication networks. Unfortunately, our society has often experienced how the correct functioning of these critical infrastructures can be substantially hindered by massive failures triggered by natural disasters, weather-related disruptions and malicious human activities. In this position paper, we discuss the impact on optical networks of all major classes of disaster events mentioned above, and we overview recent relevant techniques that have been proposed to increase the disaster resilience of optical networks against the various classes of disaster events. We start by presenting some proactive methods to be applied before the occurrence of a disaster. Then we move our focus also on other preparedness methods that can be executed in the (typically short) time frame between the occurrence of an early alert of an incoming disaster and the time a disaster actually hits the network. Finally, we discuss reactive procedures that allow performing post-disaster recovery operations effectively. The analysis of disaster resilience mechanisms provided in this paper covers both wired and optical wireless communication infrastructures and also contains explicit remarks covering the role of emerging technologies (e.g., fixed-mobile convergence in the 5G era and beyond) in disaster resilience.

2025, Post-Disaster Recovery Assessment Using Sentiment Analysis of English-Language Tweets: A Tenth-Anniversary Case Study of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake

The 2010 Haiti earthquake stands as one of the most catastrophic events in terms of loss of life and destruction. Following an earthquake, there is an urgent demand for information. Regrettably, few studies have tracked the progress of the post-disaster recovery, leaving this phase poorly understood. In previous years, data were exclusively collected through on-site missions, but today, social media (SM) has enhanced earthquake reconnaissance teams' capacity to collect data beyond the emergency phase. However, text data from SM is unstructured, making it necessary to use natural language processing techniques to extract meaningful information. Sentiment analysis (SA), which classifies people's opinions into positive, negative, or neutral polarity, is a promising tool for understanding earthquake recovery. For the purposes of this paper, we conduct SA at the tweet level on data collected around the tenth anniversary of the earthquake using human expertise to fine-tune automatic classification methods. We conclude that the anniversary date is the best time to collect data. In our sample, 56.3% of the tweets in the sample were classified as negative, followed by positive (27.3%), neutral (8.2%), and unrelated (8.1%). In our study, we conclude that the assessment of the recovery progress based on data collected from Twitter is negative. The automatic method for SA with the highest accuracy is 'btweet'. The assessment result must be validated by stakeholders.

On 10 January 2011 the town of Grantham, Queensland (Australia) was inundated with a flash flood; 12 of the town's 370 residents drowned. Grantham was one of more than 70 communities and 200,000 people in Queensland affected by flooding in December 2010 and January 2011. More than three-quarters of Queensland was declared a flood disaster zone, there were 35 deaths, and the overall costs were AUD2.38billion(AUD2.38 billion (AUD2.38billion(USD2.4 billion). After extensive consultation with the community, a decision was made to relocate the town in March 2011. We focus on the unusual and even rare decision to relocate Grantham. The Lockyer Valley Regional Council (LVRC) SOMEBODY acquired a 377-hectare (932 acres) site to enable a voluntary swap of equivalent-sized lots. In addition planning regulations were set aside to streamline the relocation of a portion of the town. We review the natural hazard literature on community relocation, state and local government documents on Grantham, and reports and newspaper articles about the flood. We compliment these reviews with interviews of key stakeholders. We document the process of community relocation, assess the relocation process in Grantham against best practice, question whether the process of community relocation is scalable, and examine whether the Grantham relocation is an example of good planning or good politics. AND-what did you find? Just the messages for practice or interim findings that led to the practice messages? Key messages for practice; We believe that community relocation (albeit a small one) is possible and can be done quickly-some Grantham residents moved into their new relocated homes in December 2012 -11 months after the flood. We also conclude that existing planning regulations can be a hindrance to quick action while political leadership, particularly at the local level, is key to implementing the relocation.

This thesis investigated how post-disaster aid influenced the identity formation of families originally residing in Zone 7, Barangay Carmen, who were resettled to Xavier Ecoville in Barangay Lumbia following Tropical Storm Washi (Typhoon Sendong) in 2011. As the first university-led resettlement project globally, Xavier Ecoville provided a unique context to explore aid interventions’ long-term social and spatial impacts. This study seeks to understand the long-term identity formation process of survivors from 2018 to 2025, by examining the negotiations between aid recipients and providers after the disaster. Rather than examining negotiation broadly, the research focused on how these negotiations were concretely expressed through how housing beneficiaries appropriated and altered the spaces within their homes. The study analyzed how these spatial adaptations reflected a deeper settlement process, one that encompasses not only physical relocation but also economic, political, social, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of being “settled.”
Findings suggested that beneficiaries’ sense of settlement and identity was significantly shaped by the degree of agency they could exercise. The more control recipients gain over decisions about their living environments, the stronger their sense of ownership, autonomy, and belonging. This research contributes to broader discussions on participatory development, post-disaster recovery, and identity reconstruction, highlighting the importance of integrating recipient agencies into aid frameworks to foster more holistic and sustainable resettlement outcomes.

Resettlement programmes have been implemented to relocate people from hazard areas to other safe places. Generally, resettlement programmes consist of several activities upon locations through time. However, the resettlement activities have never been analysed explicitly through these conditions. The lack of this knowledge causes many problems in considering the appropriate places for relocating people. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the resettlement activities and some considered factors by interviewing different roles of people in a hazard community. A case study of Ban Nam Ko sub-district is used to gain the knowledge of resettlement activities in more details. The explored results are presented as some significant milestones and descriptions to explain the resettlement activities. This study is beneficial to the relevant organisations to use the results in planning the places for each resettlement phase through time in order to avoid those inappropriate functions of places.

Debris flow is a destructive disaster causing tragic loss and damages to vulnerable people and their properties in many regions around the world. According an impact of this disaster, hazard areas are submerged in mud and debris causing enormous difficulties to all relevant organisations and affected people to access over the hazard community. Although an inaccessibility is one of the major problems considered to be solved in an urgent stage, the lack of a comprehensive study in activities of involved people through time line since the disaster occurrence causes a difficulty to plan the feasible solution to overcome those problems effectively. Therefore, this paper presents the existing knowledge in several activities related to accessibilities in hazard areas. Additionally, the initial findings derived from interviews conducted as a part of a doctoral research are determined showing real activities related to accessibilities in a study area of Thailand where was attacked by a major debris-flow event in 2001. Regarding the explored acitivities, this study aims to introduce a potential solution to overcome the inaccessibility problems in hazard areas by applying spatial analysis techniques. This solution presents a new method of an optimum balance between the explored problems from the interviews of affected people and the practices conducted by the local government to solve the inaccessibility in the hazard area. Some suggestions are addressed at the end of the paper to propose some additional practices with some considered factors for the spatial database design.

2025, Georgian Geographical Journal

The tourism industry is profoundly influenced by various external factors, including pandemics, natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, economic crises, and climate change. Each of these factors presents unique challenges, necessitating tailored risk management strategies. This study investigates the impact of natural hazards on highland destinations, using the Shovi landslide that occurred in August 2023 in Georgia as a case study. Given the vulnerability of highland regions to natural disasters, a comprehensive analysis is essential. This research employs a triangulation methodology that combines a systematic literature review, statistical data analysis, and an online questionnaire to assess tourists' perceptions of safety and their behavioural responses following the landslide. Findings indicate that natural disasters have multidimensional impacts—financial, infrastructural, human, and environmental—significantly affecting the tourism industry. The study highlights the necessity of effective management and mitigation strategies to bolster tourism resilience in the region. By situating the Shovi landslide within the broader context of highland tourism, this research contributes to the academic discourse on disaster impacts and recovery. It identifies critical gaps in the literature and offers empirical evidence for developing crisis management frameworks tailored to highland destinations. This study aims to advance understanding of the interplay between natural disasters and tourism dynamics, providing a foundation for future scholarly inquiry in this field.

2025, Journal of Islamic Thought and Civilization

This study aims to explore how the concepts of precaution, reliance on Allah (tawakkul), and a sense of responsibility, as understood in Islamic belief, are reflected in individuals’ lives when faced with natural disasters. The study, conducted using a scale with individuals from various regions of Türkiye who have experienced earthquakes, seeks to determine the impact of these concepts on their sense of responsibility. A quantitative method was used to assess how precaution and tawakkul influence the sense of responsibility during natural disasters. Data were collected from 405 participants using the Responsibility Sense and Behavior Scale, Disaster Preparedness Scale and Reliance on Allah (Tawakkul) Scale, which included 53 questions. Participants were also asked about their experiences with natural disasters to analyze their attitudes toward precaution, tawakkul, and responsibility. The results show that while individuals in Türkiye demonstrate high levels of tawakkul—entrusting outcomes to Allah after fulfilling their responsibilities—their disaster preparedness and precautionary measures remain low, regardless of personal experience with disasters. This study is one of the first to empirically examine the intersection of Islamic concepts and disaster preparedness. It contributes to the literature by evaluating whether reliance on Allah enhances or hinders disaster readiness. The findings highlight the need for educational initiatives that align religious teachings with risk mitigation strategies.

2025, Environmental Disaster Resilience in Iraq

Ecosystems typically encounter gradual processes induced by environmental and human activity that affect their structure and components. However, they can also experience sudden impacts or catastrophes that significantly disrupt their equilibrium and create resilience challenges. Investigating the frontiers of resilience-in both human and ecological contexts-is a critical research area in environmental and social change (Douabul, 2024). The consequences of the environmental disaster in Iraq are enormous, particularly regarding the loss of life and the extent of destruction. Ongoing environmental disasters in Iraq significantly impact various issues, including the degradation of the environment and the economy. Iraq faces both artificial and natural disasters that impose unprecedented responsibilities on the global community. Water scarcity, floods, excessive sedimentation, droughts, moisture loss, and desertification are environmental challenges confronting Iraq due to climate change. The deteriorating conditions post-2003 have transformed Iraq from a stable country into one rife with crises. Iraq has managed to evade the attention of the international community. Many believe that prioritizing reconstruction, security, and peace is essential; however, for this to occur, issues relating to the environment, land, water management, air pollution, and urban planning must first be addressed. Iraq has become one of the most polluted countries on the planet, posing a significant environmental threat to life.

2025, Blockchain Interoperability for Future Telecoms

The inherent characteristics of blockchain, including immutability, self-execution, and the removal of intermediaries, consistently generate increasing interest in its applications within the telecom sector, making it an exciting area for investment. This literature review aims to explore a promising research area known as blockchain interoperability. Interoperability seeks to connect two or more independent blockchains to effectively exchange information. Through leveraging the interoperability features of blockchain, independent telecom networks can seamlessly share information with other mobile, fixed, and nextgeneration networks. This results in improved security and efficiency, cost savings, and an enhanced customer experience. This study reviews highly cited research papers in the literature to assess blockchain's relevance to telecom use cases for interoperability. Additionally, it presents prominent interoperability solutions and identifies essential requirements for the successful implementation of blockchain interoperability in the telecom sector. The findings highlight key research gaps and future directions for the adoption of blockchain in telecommunications, particularly for the forthcoming sixth generation (6G).

This paper examines the nature of the feminization of agriculture, and factors influencing the phenomenon in citrus producing pocket areas of Sindhuli district in Central Nepal. Presenting the intra-household division of work in agriculture among better-off family members in rural farms, emerging themes from narratives of women farmers’ lived-experience as farmers are discussed. Based on the narratives, this paper explores how household members’ everyday lifestyles regarding agriculture and non-agriculture shape their lives differently. Outlining the problematic of gendered agricultural engagement, three in-depth case analyses of farm families have been presented through data collected from narratives and participant observation as part of ethnographic study. These case studies highlight how women attribute economic and noneconomic rationales for their life choices, using agency as an analytical lens. Finally, given the choice dilemma individuals face to reshape their lives, this pa...

Nowadays, scientific experiments are conducted collaboratively. In collaborative scientific experiments, we must consider aspects such as interoperability, privacy, and trust in shared data to allow the reproducibility of the results. A critical aspect associated with a scientific process is its provenance information, which can be defined as the origin or lineage of the data that helps understand the scientific experiment results. Another concern when conducting collaborative experiments is confidentiality, considering that only authorized personnel can share or view results. In this paper, we propose BlockFlow, a blockchain-based architecture, to bring reliability to the collaborative research, considering the capture, storage, and analysis of provenance data related to a scientific ecosystem platform (E-SECO).

2025, Current Anthropology

Through ethnographic fieldwork and analysis of policy documents about private housing reconstruction in the wake of Nepal's devastating 2015 earthquakes, we show how the contemporary "house," "household," and "home" are key sites of regulation for the state, as well as for the development and humanitarian organizations that work within it. Our discussion lays bare a more general set of questions about the relationships between these categories that remain unresolved in the anthropological literature, as well as in domains of policy practice that build on it. The experience of postearthquake reconstruction in Nepal has highlighted conceptual limitations in the existing legal definitions of ownership and residence and challenged people's sense of belonging at the affective level. This is in part due to conditions of high mobility that affect patterns of kinship and sociality and demand an understanding of infrastructure as process. We propose a tripartite analytical framework that recognizes the relational complexities between the concepts of "house," "household," and "home" and argue that careful attention to their definitions in both anthropological and policy contexts matters because those terminologies drive processes of change that may begin in moments of natural disaster but extend far beyond that temporal horizon to reconfigure lives. For example, a garment becomes a real garment only in the act of being worn; a house where no one lives is in fact not a real house. (Karl Marx, Grundrisse, 1993 [1939])

2025, Report on Agricultural Economic Studies

Nepal is vulnerable to different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, fire, drought, epidemic and others. The 2015 Nepal earthquake caused tremendous damage and loss. This catastrophic earthquake was followed by thousands of aftershocks. Thus,
people faced big or small impact on overall. The aim of the article is to identify the impact of devastating earthquake of 25th April and 12th May 2015 on Physical and socio-economic aspect of Nepal. Key infrastructure in the country such as schools, health facilities, accessible roads, temples and heritage sites have been severely damaged or destroyed across 14 most affected districts of Nepal. The catastrophe intensified the vulnerabilities of Nepalese food insecurity, public health risks, and the risks of sexual violence for women and children.

2025, Journal of family and economic issues

This study identified factors influencing family business survival using National Family Business Panel and Spatial Hazard Events and Losses data. Sustainable Family Business Theory guided the use of a parametric duration model of long-term survival. Community characteristics, family achievements, family processes during change, business and owner characteristics, and business processes during stability affected long-term survival. Economic vulnerability of rural counties, family income from business, hiring temporary help, business size, viewing business as a way of life, and owner experience were associated with increased duration of business survival. Being home-based, a female owner, and customer-focused were associated with decreased duration of survival. Some family processes and achievements increased the duration of business survival; none decreased it.

ABSTRACT : This research addresses the tsunami risk vulnerability of Sabang City, Aceh, which is located
near the Sumatran megathrust zone, one of the areas of highest seismic activity in the world. Sabang City is at
high risk of tsunamis, with most of its area falling within the high to very highrisk zone. Through a Geographic
Information System (GIS) approach, this study analyzed five main parameters: slope, elevation, land use,
distance from coastline and distance from river to map tsunami vulnerability and evacuation routes. The
analysis showed that more than half of Sabang City falls into the high and very high tsunami vulnerability
categories, emphasizing the importance of effective mitigation and preparedness strategies. The evacuation
route mapping produced in this study depicts five routes in Sabang City, Route 1 is the longest route, 35.21 km
long and passes through eight villages in the eastern part of the city. Route 2 is the shortest route with a length
of 0.85 km, located only in Iboih village in the northwest. Route 3 is 2.13km long and runs along the border
between BateeShok and Paya Seunara villages in the central and northern parts. Route 4 is 1.29km long and is
only found in Jaboi village in the southeast. Route 5 is 7.68 km long, passing through three villages (Keunekai,
Paya, and BateeShok) in the southern part of the city.

This study uses qualitative methods to assess the effectiveness of Nepal's National Policy for Disaster Risk Reduction (2018) in the Sankhu area, a community particularly vulnerable to natural disasters. Focusing on the Shankharapur Municipality in the Kathmandu Valley, the examines the policy's impact on marginalized communities in the aftermath of the devastating 2015 earthquake. Comprehensive interviews were conducted with 30 participants, including earthquake survivors, local government officials, and community leaders. The analysis of these interviews revealed significant barriers to the policy's implementation. Notably, a lack of collaboration among various stakeholders involved in disaster management has hindered effective response and recovery efforts. The existing policy framework also fails to sufficiently address the unique needs of disadvantaged populations, potentially increasing their vulnerability during disasters. Moreover, the study identified that the rigidity of the current policy framework limits its adaptability to evolving disaster scenarios, further diminishing its effectiveness against future threats. Additionally, the findings indicate that inadequate community engagement strategies have weakened disaster preparedness and response mechanisms, ultimately limiting the overall impact of the policy. The study underscores the need for policy reforms that enhance Nepal's capacity to withstand natural disasters by addressing these critical areas for improvement.

Recommendations 1. The primary goal of recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction should be “building disasterresilient cities and communities with long term vision” to be better prepared against possible future disasters. 2. “Build Back Better” should include “rebuilding livelihoods,” “rebuilding economy” and “rebuilding regional communities,” as common paradigms to be shared by relevant stakeholders in the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction process. 3. The process of recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction needs to be structured systematically. Indicators on “Build Back Better” need to be developed to measure the achievements and progress towards “building disaster-resilient cities and communities” and “rebuilding livelihoods, economy and regional communities”. Guidelines based on scientific evidence should be formulated, provided by multi and interdisciplinary perspectives of science. 4. Cities and communities need to continue their efforts for improving and renovat...

Salam Village is one of the villages located in Karangpandan that has a lot of potential that can be developed into a tourist destination. According to the results of the discussions that have been conducted, the village government plans to pioneer and develop Salam Village into a tourist village that utilizes local potential and does not forget to observe to environmental conditions. However, until now it has not materialized due to some obstacles in the development process. In addition, in Salam Village there are also bamboo handicrafts that have the potential to be developed into a tourist attraction. The issue became the basis for the preparation of a report on the planning and development of Salam Village as a bamboo tourism village with an environtmentally friendly approach that focuses on the utilization of local potential. The concept of the tourist village intends to give knowledge to tourists about the various local potentials contained in Salam Village, especially on the ...

The Act Number 6 of 2014 about Village has consequences for allocating village finances through village funds to the Village Government. However,
the large amount of financial allocation also creates a risk of fraud. The data from the Ministry of Home Affairs from 2016–2021, shows indications of a significant increase the number of cases of village financial fraud. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the implementation of the village financial management supervision policies and programs by Cianjur District Inspectorate. The qualitative approach was used through interviews with Inspectors, Program Planners, Evaluators, Auxiliary Inspectors, Auditors and Supervisors of Local Government Affairs. Field observations in villages that have received supervision. The results
showed that the Cianjur District Inspectorate was not optimal in its internal supervision through village financial management. This is due to the lack of number of human resources and there is no indicator to measure the success of village financial supervision programs. Meanwhile, other supervision methods such as advisory services, monitoring, evaluation, and review have not been able to be implemented. The recommendation from the results of this study is the need for
the Cianjur District Inspectorate to innovate the supervision program through a combination of supervision in the current year (such as monitoring and evaluation) and risk-based post-audit and using the village financial supervision information system.

2024, Advances in Practical Applications of Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, and Cognitive Mimetics. The PAAMS Collection. PAAMS 2023.

Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) characteristics can contribute to several domains, such as Multi-agent Systems (MAS), facilitating the agreement between agents, managing trust relationships, and distributed scenarios. Some contributions to this integration are in the theoretical stage, and the few existing practical contributions have limitations and low performance. This work presents a MAS approach that can use digital assets as a factor of agreement in the relationship between cognitive agents using the Belief-Desire-Intention model. To validate the proposed methodology, we present the middleware Velluscinum that offers new internal actions to agents. The middleware was tested by adapting the Building-a-House classic example to cryptocurrency and agreements mediated by a distributed ledger.

Turkey, which has a surface area of 780 thousand square kilometers, is a country that is in the position of a bridge between the European and Asian continents, most of which is in the Asian continent. Due to its location, Turkey's territory is highly prone to natural disasters and has faced many disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides and avalanches. This high- risk geography has hosted major earthquakes, floods, landslides and avalanches every five years on average. Turkey, which has been exposed to disasters whose exact location, time and type cannot be determined, is in a constant state of change in terms of managing and improving the post-disaster crisis situation, especially in terms of physical, economic and social losses after these natural events. Especially social losses after disasters can be classified as losses that take longer to recover, require more labor and cause countries to spend more energy after the crisis compared to physical and economic losses. ...

2024, Afetlerde Kentsel Arama ve Kurtarmada Kullanılan Yöntemler ve Güncel Yaklaşımların Değerlendirilmesi

Afet; deprem, tsunami, sel, heyelan, volkan patlaması, kasırga, hortum, uçak kazaları, tren kazaları, nükleer santral kazaları, patlamalar ve terör saldırıları gibi çok sayıda insanın yaralanması ve ölümü ile birlikte ciddi fiziksel tahriplerle sonuçlanan olaylar olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Deprem, terör saldırısı ve heyelan gibi olaylar sonucunda yapılarda meydana gelen çökmeler sonrası yıkılmış yapı altında mahsur kalan insan ve hayvanların bulunması için kentsel arama ve kurtarma çalışmaları önem arz etmektedir. Afetin ilk saatlerinde kentsel arama ve kurtarma çalışmalarının başlaması mahsur kalanların canlı olarak çıkarılma oranını arttırmaktadır. İlk 24 saat sonrası afetzedelerin hayatta olma oranı %50 azalmaktadır. Özellikle depremlerle ilgili çok sayıda vaka çalışmasından elde edilen verilere göre, afet sonrası hayatta kalanların %50-95'i depremden sonraki ilk 24-48 saat içinde yerel halk tarafından kurtarıldığı belirtilmiştir. Fakat molozlar altında sıkışmış ve erişilmesi zor olan afetzedelere ulaşmada profesyonel ekiplere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Çökmüş yapı içerisindeki artçı sarsıntılar ve diğer nedenlerden kaynaklı (molozların kaldırılması veya sabitlenmesi sırasında oluşan çökmeler ve afetzede yakınlarının enkaz üstünde yakınlarını aramasından kaynaklı çökmeler vb.) oluşan ikincil çökmeler, tehlikeli kimyasal madde sızıntıları, gaz kaçakları ve kazazedeye erişimdeki geçiş rotalarının dar olması gibi olumsuz etkenler kentsel arama ve kurtarma ekiplerinin güvenliğini tehdit eden unsurlardır. Bu tehditler arama ve kurtarma personelinin kentsel arama kurtarma çalışmalarında tek başına etkin ve verimli olmasını engellemektedir. Kentsel arama ve kurtarma çalışmalarında yerel halk ve profesyonel ekipler ile birlikte köpekler, robotlar, sismik ve akustik (dinleme) cihazlar ve görüntüleme cihazları gibi aktörler de rol almaktadır. Bu aktörlerin her biri farklı görevler ile kentsel arama ve kurtarma çalışmalarında etkili ve verimli olarak kullanılmakla beraber çalışmaların bütünsel olarak yürütülmesini sağlama ve birbirini tamamlama özelliklerine sahiptir. Bu çalışmada kentsel arama ve kurtarma çalışmalarında görev alan afet gönüllüleri, profesyonel arama ve kurtarma personelleri, arama ve kurtarma köpekleri, dinleme ve görüntülü arama cihazları ile robotların arama ve kurtarma çalışmalarındaki pozisyonları incelenmiştir.

The paper makes a case-study analysis of the annually flooded Dibrugarh
town of the Brahmaputra valley of India’s northeast, and looks at floods as
disasters in the context of how women negotiate, adapt and survive an annual phenomenon of flood. The paper has tried to interweave multiple narratives arising from differentiated gendered roles played by women in the pre-flood, during floods as well as in the post-flood periods, as collected through interviews and discussions to showcase how women use their agency to make place within as well as outside the community through dialogues, shared experiences and inter-community social capital. It discusses gendering space through the changing lived spaces of a household in the flooded and non-flooded period for four different communities united by flood. The first section of the paper looks at the City as a site for recurring disaster. The second section discuss agency of women as an emanating tool to face, adapt and survive disaster, expanding beyond herself to family and community. The third section
presents the spatialities of adaptation manifested through built-form, arising as an outcome of gendered vulnerability and adaptation practices, as translated onto the spaces they inhabit, throughout the flood-cycle.

Grâce à la compréhension du fonctionnement et de la gestion du réseau d'assainissement de Paris et sa petite couronne, il a été possible de reconstruire un réseau complet, constitué des réseaux d'assainissement interdépartemental et départemental de Seine-Saint-Denis, en prenant en compte les connexions avec le réseau hydrographique naturel (Marne et Seine). Ce réseau a été simplifié, pour s'adapter à la résolution (250m) du modèle hydrologique urbain TEB-Hydro. Afin de prendre en compte les spécificités du fonctionnement du réseau d'assainissement de Paris et sa petite couronne, l'outil de reconstruction d'un réseau simplifié a été modifié. Ainsi les nombreux maillages qui ponctuent le réseau comme les tunnels de stockages ont été pris en compte. Les écoulements depuis les collecteurs unitaires vers les collecteurs d'eaux usées ont été permis. Bien que l'outil n'ait jamais été appliqué sur une zone aussi vaste, la comparaison visuelle des résultats avec les filaires de réseaux réels interdépartementaux démontre la capacité de l'outil à reproduire un réseau fonctionnel. Cependant, ce travail préliminaire met en évidence la nécessité de travailler à l'échelle départementale. En effet, la reconstruction sur le département de Seine-Saint-Denis, à partir des données descriptives du réseau départemental, présente des résultats encourageants en termes de filaires de réseaux ainsi que d'aires drainées par le réseau reconstruit. Cet outil de reconstruction du réseau hydrographique complet et simplifié a pour seul but de fournir un réseau hydrographique pour une modélisation hydrologique urbaine, qui prend en compte les différents processus du cycle de l'eau au sein de la ville, soit l'évapotranspiration, l'infiltration de l'eau dans le sol en plus des écoulements de surface et dans les réseaux. Ces outils sont donc complémentaires aux outils déjà existants permettant la gestion de l'assainissement de la zone étudiée.

Rapid urbanization and population growth in Bangladesh, are increasing vulnerability to hazards like floods, earthquakes, fires, and water logging. This has led to social, physical, economic, and environmental consequences, such as disruption of life, water scarcity, infrastructure damage, and extinction of wildlife. This study examines the impact of unplanned urbanization on water scarcity in Bangladesh's rapidly growing cities, assesses its effect on drainage systems, and proposes strategies for mitigation. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of unplanned urbanization in Bangladesh, examining its effects on population, water sources, and drainage systems. The research assessed the interconnections between urbanization, water scarcity, and flooding by drawing on secondary data from various sources. Additionally, it proposed strategies to mitigate these challenges and promote sustainable urban development. Finally, some possible and practical solutions for managing urbanization have been suggested to tackle water scarcity and drainage problems in Bangladesh.

Implications of Seismic Events) Group. The themes of the proceedings cover the three vital elements of community revival after a disaster: response, recovery, and resilience. Most abstracts focus on a wide range of topics related to the Christchurch earthquake. Examples include: physical health, mental health, role of pets, creativity, experiences of disabled people and children, social networking, community initiatives for recovery and resilience, compassion fatigue, the Maori experience, and psychosocial recovery. International topics cover the Australian bushfires, Queensland floods, earthquakes of Nepal, Japan, and La Poma, and disaster management in Thailand and the Philippines. While many of the abstracts are conversational in nature, others report completed, ongoing, or planned research or practice updates. Abstracts of particular interest in these proceedings include that of Sir John Holmes on a fragmented international humanitarian system, Dr Jeanne LeBlanc on the massive psychological impact of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Professor Alexander McFarlane on mental health and disasters, and Professor Jonathan Davidson on ways of measuring and enhancing resilience. Conference highlights include workshops on developing a mental health service for psychological distress following the Canterbury earthquakes, and media skills for communicating during disasters. A focus group meeting will be held on deployment and coordination of foreign medical teams.

Afet sırasında yitirilenler karşısında insanoğlu hayatını yeniden devam ettirmek adına çaresizlik içinde kalmaktadır. Afetzedelerin sosyo-ekonomik yaşamını yeniden düzene sokabilmek için afet sonrası uygulanacak düzenlemeleri belirlemek gerekmektedir. Afet sonrası yeniden oluşturulacak konut ve yerleşim alanları, bu düzenlemelerin önemli bir parçasını oluşturmaktadır. Ancak afetzedelerin, yaşadıkları eski kent veya kırsal yerleşimlerinin gerektirdiği yaşam koşullarına ve sosyo-kültürel yapılarına bağlı olarak afet sonrası konutlarıyla ilgili farklı beklentileri ve/veya tepkileri olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle afet sonrası yeniden oluşturulacak kent veya kırsal yerleşimlerde kullanıcı niteliğine uygun, gereksinimlerini ve beğenilerini karşılayabilen afet sonrası konutların tasarlanması bu makalenin amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Disability comprises a complex set of experiences ranging from physical variance and societally sanctioned deviations to socio-cultural constructions induced by natural or man-made disasters. Factors like war, poverty, disaster, industrial accidents, and mass disablement often contribute to creating detrimental disabling conditions. All these factors specifically hold true in the devastation of the Marshallese Islands in the Pacific. From jellyfish babies to being born with six fingers, nuclearisation-induced disabilities are an everyday reality in this postcolonial nation. Robert Barclay’s debut novel Melal: A Novel of the Pacific (2002) and Kathy Jetn̄il-Kijiner’s biographical poem “History Project” (2017) are no exception in adding to the island nation’s disability discourse. Both texts address radiological colonisation and its continuing neo-imperialist legacies. This paper aims to analytically explore nuclearisation and its subsequent consequences, primarily observed in the resultant radiation-induced disabilities. Through a comparative close reading, this paper traces the trajectory of Postcolonial approaches in Disability Studies, how disabled experiences of the postcolonial nations are overlooked in Disability Studies and looks at the chosen texts to depict the importance of its inclusion in mainstream postcolonial disability studies to make post-disaster recovery a reality.
