However, studies Africa have predominantly focused on understanding impacts of rural livelihoods. With intense events that could result localized flash be expected increase Durban near future, failure understand how households prepare and interventions implemented by local authorities jeopardize achievement Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 – resilient sustainable cities. To address this gap, primary data were collected from purposively selected residents Amanzimtoti community using questionnaires comprised both closed open-ended questions.

Abstract. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the region most vulnerable to climate change and related hydro-meteorological risks. These risks are exacerbated in rapidly expanding urban areas due loss degradation of green blue spaces with their regulating ecosystem services. The potential nature-based solutions (NBSs) mitigate such as floods increasingly recognised Europe. However, its application SSA still needs be systematically explored inform promote uptake this region. We conducted a multidisciplinary systematic review following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) protocol establish general patterns literature on NBSs risk mitigation SSA. searched scientific journal databases, websites 12 key institutions 11 NBS databases identified 45 papers analysis. found at least 1 reported 71 % across 83 locations.

The impact of global climate change is gradually intensifying, and the frequent occurrence meteorological disasters poses a serious challenge to crop production. Analyzing evaluating agricultural multi-hazard disaster risks based on historical data summary occurrences development patterns are important bases for effective reduction natural regulation This paper explores technical system risk assessment establishes model at regional level from 1978–2020 in first national comprehensive census, carrying out assessments 18 major grain-producing regions Jilin province. empirical evidence shows: (1) drought flood key prevention Hotspots widely distributed study area, while hail typhoons mainly concentrated eastern region with certain regionality. (2) values four all decreased increase index. Under same index, various main areas as follows: > typhoon hail. different indices, Jiutai, Nongan, Yitong, Tongyu, other places presented high medium–high levels. (3) From spatial evolution trend, along rising hazards spatially oriented southeastern direction, central part area decreases increasing damage In addition, recommendations made three aspects: institutional construction, management model, capacity.

Locating, routing and deploying essential goods equipment are proactive disaster management strategies which received attention during recent decades. Many artificial intelligence (AI) based methods have been applied to respond disasters in the past decade. However, there lacks a systematic review on these approaches. This paper reviews such papers published over period of 2012–2022. These publications were examined according their goal using AI-based (e.g., for or locating deployment). We approaches adopted specific application areas within broad spectrum management. Based our review, we recommend few could benefit from methods, especially less explored area problem disasters. research would be helpful academics practitioners alike effectively adopting AI improve resilience response disastrous events.

The increasing frequency and severity of environmental disasters is cause for concern globally. This comes against the backdrop widespread criticism manner in which most countries handle disaster situations. In this article, South Africa's management appraised through a scoping review that highlights 'deeds' undertaken by major protagonists (the state, flood victims, other non-state actors) prior to, during, after April 2022 KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) floods disaster. premised on actor network theory (ANT) allows assessment nature "deeds" performed actor-network associations. Several gaps processes are revealed findings, including lack preparedness, mitigation, over subscription to response recovery with no robust capacity coordination among key stakeholders.

Extreme weather events are being experienced all over the world because of climate change, posing challenges for individuals and households who rely on agricultural operations as their major source livelihood. Household-level adaptation is an efficient way dealing with global change. As such, this study aims to examine perception informal settlers flood risk adoption strategies flood. This applied seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) identify factors influencing flooding community members probit floods examined impact income in Eerste Fabriek settlement Mamelodi using two-step quasi-maximum likelihood estimates fractional response model. Our results show that perceptive environment livelihoods, average, they believe significant. Age, marital status, education, employment income, household size demographic tend influence events. Access institutional facilities such health recreational was also a significant factor how adapt floods. Timely healthcare access services precursor people form perception, which intended help them appropriately situations wealth. Community members' perceptions adaptive capacity can be improved through policies foster effective strategies. Community-based necessary involving stakeholders mitigating effects flooding.

Дослідження присвячене аналізові та прогнозуванню фінансового проєктування сталого розвитку територіальних громад у контексті адаптивної державної політики інноваційного адміністрування змін. На прикладі центрального регіону України проведено комплексний аналіз фінансових показників за останнє п’ятиріччя, що охоплює динаміку доходів, видатків, субвенцій і кількості населення. Використання методів економіко-математичного моделювання, багатофакторного лінійного регресійного аналізу функції бажаності дозволило визначити взаємозв’язок між ключовими фінансовими параметрами демографічними показниками, а також здійснити прогноз цих на наступні роки. Отримані результати свідчать про неоднорідність фінансової стійкості досліджуваних громад, виявляючи й тенденції зростання окремих бюджетних статей, змінні співвідношення доходною видатковою частинами бюджетів. Застосування інтегрованого підходу сприяє ухваленню обґрунтованих управлінських рішень щодо модернізації місцевого самоврядування, забезпечення соціально-економічного ефективного змін місцевому рівні.
