This study aims to examine the socio-economic determinants of human negligence in wildfire occurrences across Pakistan’s peri-urban and rural regions. Increasingly frequent severe wildfires, driven by climate change, conditions, negligence, have become a pressing issue. Rising global temperatures changing precipitation patterns created drier while unsafe activities—such as improper disposal flammable materials agricultural burning—further escalate risks. These issues are particularly pronounced Pakistan, where high poverty levels, limited resources, low education contribute dangerous behaviors. Weak governance poor policy enforcement further exacerbate problem. Data were collected using cross-sectional survey from 500 participants five Multiple regression analysis revealed that higher levels significantly increased whereas improved access resources reduced it. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) highlighted critical roles local governance, enforcement, community engagement mitigating wildfires. Correlation indicated an inverse relationship between risk awareness negligent behavior. Chi-square tests demonstrated strong connection wildfires migration patterns, underscoring instability caused these events. Finally, linear showed impact regional indicators, emphasizing need for integrated management strategies. offers valuable insights into factors driving Pakistan provides guidance developing targeted mitigation

This study explores the relationship between wildfire exposure, social vulnerability, and community resilience across 26 states east of Mississippi River. work centers around one research question: are there spatial differences in exposure that disproportionately impact disadvantaged communities Eastern United States over recent period (2000–2020)? Employing remotely sensed data ancillary datasets, we analyze map extensive compare it with metrics vulnerability to examine burdens U.S. A discernible pattern emerges, Southeast bearing highest levels, largely attributed human-caused prescribed burning. By establishing a measure counties using resilience, identify regions where exposures could have most adverse impact—areas characterized by highly vulnerable populations limited capacity respond effectively potential events. In evaluating risk, conclude considering not only levels but also inclusion areas (incorporating resilience) is essential for understanding disparate wildfires on individuals they live.

Abstract The impact of wildfire is not only determined by fire magnitude, but also the predispositions those who are affected, which described differences in social vulnerability. In this study, Swedish event reports on Wildland-Urban Interface fires that occurred between 1996 and 2022 were used to identify features vulnerability central a Nordic setting. Results both census tract scale household highlight living sparsely populated area increases wildfire.
