Social vulnerability indices are often used to quantify differential the impacts of climate change within coastal communities. In this review, we examine how “tried and tested” methodologies for analysing social hazards at coast being challenged by a new wave that offer more nuanced conclusions about who is vulnerable, how, why. Instead producing high-level, generalised, static vulnerability, engages deeply with interlinked socioeconomic, cultural, political, economic specificities place, as well multi-scalar temporal dynamics, incongruities, inconsistencies inherent peoples’ lived, felt experiences vulnerability. By integrating these complex observations into an output still readily accessible decision- policy-makers, supports pursuit tailored, context-appropriate, equitable adaptation. We suggest one way forms analyses might be operationalised, reflecting on experimental research project uses personas or fictional characters in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This study proposes a new groundwater potentiality model (GPM) in the Bisha watershed, Saudi Arabia, by integrating logistic-regression (LR)-weighted and fuzzy logic-based ensemble machine learning (EML) models for present future scenarios. We applied random forest, bagging, subspace predicting GPMs. also used general circulation model's (GCM) minimum maximum representative concentration pathway (RCP) 2.6 8.5 scenarios GWP mapping. Results showed that bagging hybrid (Area under Curve: 0.986) outperformed other models. predicted 4058.57 km2 as very high, 4267.45 4185.23 moderate, 4342. low, 4430.24 low potential zones. The best combined with climatic conditions shows high zones would cover 2319–2590 3100–2795 km2. current research will aid development of long-term sustainable management plans increasing effectiveness

There has been an increase in the frequency of hazards associated with meteorological and hydrological phenomena. One them is flash floods occurring episodically areas concentrated runoff—valleys without permanent drainage. In opinion residents local authorities, these are potentially safe areas—they not threatened by therefore often occupied buildings. The importance addressing land use planning essential for sustainable development disaster risk reduction. objective this research was to assess level hazard evaluate its presence activities. This manuscript fills a gap, as date flood threats have analyzed individual buildings located catchments dry valleys temperate climates. More than 12,000 first-order were analyzed. study covered upland area East Poland, which characterized high population density dispersed rural settlement. Within 10 municipalities, on potential episodic runoff lines identified. Qualitative assessment applied ascertain susceptibility floods.

Flash-flood disasters pose a serious threat to lives and property. To meet the increasing demand for refined rapid assessment on flood loss, this study exploits geomatic technology integrate multi-source heterogeneous data put forward comprehensive risk index (CRI) calculation with fuzzy evaluation (FCE). Based mathematical correlations between CRIs actual losses of in Weifang City, direct economic loss rate (DELR) model agricultural (AELR) were developed. The case shows that CRI system can accurately reflect level flash-flood disaster. Both models are capable simulating disaster impacts. results generally consistent quantified generated from simulation close losses. spatial resolution is up 100 × m. This provides method high temporal resolution, which quickly assess rainstorm disasters. proposed paper, coupled study, reliable reference flash floods caused will be helpful existing literature.
