Leveraging local knowledge for landslide disaster risk reduction in an urban informal settlement in Manado, Indonesia

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 111, С. 104710 - 104710

Опубликована: Авг. 3, 2024

Disaster preparedness and response, including for landslides, increasingly involves local knowledge. Incorporating contextual, dynamic experience-based knowledge leads to greater awareness of the interconnectedness geological, natural, social processes. Still, technical literature on urban landslide risk is mainly based geological natural dynamics and, a lesser extent, physical infrastructure. Moreover, although recognized as important in principle all aspects disaster management, it not frequently taken starting point identifying contextually specific factors practice. To gain insights into contributing risk, we conducted qualitative case study within landslide-prone informal settlement Manado, Indonesia. The comprised household interviews, transect walks, ethnographic observation. Our findings indicate that anthropogenic settlements, particularly inadequate solid waste may serve an overlooked factor landslides. This especially problematic low-income or neighborhoods, where detrimental effects poor management intersect with heightened vulnerability various hazards. We therefore advocate systematically incorporating studies Additionally, encourage further research interactions between risk. Finally, call leveraging enhance policy, planning, efforts, ultimate goal fostering safer environments all.

Modelling the effect of sediment and solid waste deposition on pluvial flood risk using in situ high-resolution rainfall and water level measurements

Water Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 91(6), С. 757 - 782

Опубликована: Март 10, 2025

ABSTRACT Pluvial flooding is a significant threat in many Sub-Saharan African cities, driven by rapid urbanisation, climate change, failures, and insufficient hydraulic capacity of existing urban drainage systems (UDSs). However, limited modelling studies have investigated the effect sediment solid waste accumulation on performance UDSs during extreme loading conditions. In this research, influence combined scenarios deposition rainfall upper Lubigi catchment Kampala was investigated. The collected high-resolution data water level observations combination with field were used for model calibration validation. results show three locations that account over 50% flooded volume catchment, based A near-complete blockage at culvert crossings increased flood volumes up to 40% higher (≥50 years) return periods 105% low (≤10 years). This research underscores importance using modelling, as well necessity improved UDS asset management, effective management order achieve resilient sustainable cities.

Remote Sensing for Monitoring Macroplastics in Rivers: A Review

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Water, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(2)

Опубликована: Март 1, 2025

ABSTRACT Given the exponential rise in global plastic production and its significant ecological socio‐economic impacts, monitoring macroplastics rivers has become a central focus of water management efforts. However, standardized methodologies are lagging behind rate waste currently entering aquatic systems on scale. This translates into shortage spatially temporally refined data macroplastic pollution circulating inland waters. Recent advancements remote sensing techniques, primarily satellites, UASs, fixed handheld cameras combined with crowd‐sourced automated detection using machine deep learning, offer promising opportunities for versatile solutions. Thus, this paper reviews state‐of‐the‐art approaches emerging methods identification to provide researchers comprehensive inventory techniques encourage scientific community harmonize define standard protocols. According our investigation, addressing challenges sensing‐based river mandates further efforts enhance integrate multiple platforms an emphasis long‐term monitoring.

The knowns and unknowns in our understanding of how plastics impact climate change: a systematic review

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13

Plastic pollution and climate change are two major environmental issues of this century, with implications for ecosystem health, the economy, humankind. Plastics have potential to affect in multiple ways, yet we lack a thorough understanding what data on phenomenon where knowledge gaps are. Here, conducted systematic review assemble answer question: How do plastics impact through three mechanisms–emissions greenhouse gases across lifecycle, interference Earth’s carbon sinks, radiation budget? We searched all 14 databases Web Science relevant articles, amended pool articles from manual reference searching expert elicitations. Using rigorous inclusion exclusion criteria, including non-peer reviewed studies minimize risk bias, ultimately selected 143 our - 36 lifecycle gas emissions papers, 83 sink 24 budget papers. Based current available data, found that can emit up gigatonnes dioxide equivalents per year, most being produced at primary production product manufacture stages. From existing studies, identified more instances negatively affecting sequestration than vice versa . radiative impacts predominantly cooling nature. The body evidence is incomplete research needed confirm these findings fill gaps. Future work should prioritize quantifying transportation, consumption, unmanaged waste stages lifecycle. need examine coastal blue ecosystems marine endpoints, examining direct forcing via aerosols, cloud properties, albedo/melting rate surfaces ice/snow. Immediate action required decarbonize full accounting scenarios, inventories, models geographies sectors.

Life cycle assessment of plastic and paper carrying bags in the Philippines

Cleaner Environmental Systems, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14, С. 100217 - 100217

Опубликована: Авг. 7, 2024

Plastic waste mismanagement is a pertinent environmental concern among developing countries. The Philippines has significant plastic as the country top emitters of wastes to ocean. To manage wastes, government enacted policies. resulting paper carrying bags becoming prominent alternative. Switching from one bag another, however, requires clear assessment on implications trade-offs can occur. provide needed clarity, this study assessed and through life cycle (LCA) approach. This developed model with novelty a) supply chain integration, b) augmented Environmental Design Industrial Products (EDIP) impact assessment, c) inventory categorization. From EDIP had single score 0.73 whereas 0.63. In terms geographic emissions, work revealed that emit 50.28% its emissions outside 34.72%. Policy recommendations derived findings are provided in paper. Recommendations include carbon capture storage, green procurement, circular management, management system improvement. makers may infer managing issues use bags.
