South Asian Region (SAR) is not only home to about 25% of the global population but also site many disasters, making it one most disaster-prone regions on planet. The vulnerability in SAR can be due poor critical infrastructure region. network essential infrastructures like power supply, transportation systems, financial services, and administration that are crucial for functioning a society called Critical Infrastructure (CI). Appropriate interconnectedness coordinated interdependencies CI...
This article views the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity leading to a significant reduction in pollution levels, clean waters rivers, improved visibility, and other tangible benefit humanity environment. In Post-COVID scenario, restore margins regain lost production, industries are likely increase their production quantum jump levels. Having precedence of such scenario 2008-09, this looks at what possible avenues engage city government business houses through new normal ECO-BCP concept for...
As in many other parts of the world, urban areas South Asian region are increasingly expanding. While cities today heart commercial, technological and social development, they also vulnerable to a variety natural anthropogenic threats. The complex infrastructure, ever-expanding population cities, exacerbate impacts climate change increase risk hazards. Throughout history, various hydrological disasters including floods, tidal surges, droughts, non-hydrological such as earthquakes,...
South Asian countries face a disproportionate impact from disasters due to their unique topography, poverty, low literacy rates, and socio-economic status. Human activities, such as unplanned urbanization poorly designed rural road networks, have further contributed in the region. The article explores potential of nature-based solutions (NbS) means addressing these challenges through integration green, blue, grey infrastructure. analysis evaluates significance NbS examines policies regional...
The Indian Himalayan region, distinguished by its ecological sensitivity and dynamic topography, suffers significant losses annually due to frequent natural disasters like landslides, earthquakes, floods. Estimating loss damage (L&D) is one of the most important tools for disaster risk management. It provides information on post-disaster recovery, resource allocation, redevelopment/rehabilitation project prioritization, compensations affected communities. Calculating impact a...
Floods are attracting global attention; 23% (1.81 billion) of the world’s population live in areas directly exposed to floods. most frequent and one costliest disasters worldwide, with 1.3 trillion USD loss past 30 years. Coastal urban require greater attention due their increased vulnerability Sea Level Rise (SLR), cyclones, storm surges other related challenges. In Asia, India is severely affected countries by With a coastline 7500km, Indian coastal such as Surat, Mumbai,...
The design communication is gradually being changed from 2D based to integrated 3D digital interface.Building Information Modeling (BIM) a model-based concept, in which buildings will be built virtually before they get out the field, where data models organized for complete integration of all relevant factors building lifecycle also manages information exchange between AEC (Architects, Engineers, Contractors) professionals, strengthen interaction team.BIM shared knowledge about decisions...
The institutions of higher education provide role models for excellence in education. But also have the added responsibility providing guidance to community social upliftment and environmental sustainability. It becomes imperative, therefore assess extent which sustainable practices been adopted these their adequacy. is anticipated that a holistic assessment will indicate strengths weaknesses sustainability so effective measures can be taken initiate creation more environment. To achieve...
Abstract Air temperature in urban street canyons is increased due to the morphed geometry, surface area, decreased long wave radiation and evapo-transpiration, different thermo-physical properties of materials anthropogenic heat which results thermal discomfort. Outdoor stress can be mitigated substantially by properly orienting canyons. It crucial for planners designers orient optimally considering variable local climatic context. important especially cities warm humid context as these...
Abstract. The Indian Himalayan region (IHR) is prone to multiple hazards and suffers great loss of life damage infrastructure property every year. Poor engineering construction, unplanned unregulated development, relatively low awareness capacity in communities for supporting disaster risk mitigation are directly indirectly contributing the severity disasters. A comprehensive review various existing survey forms assessment has found that questionnaires themselves have not been designed or...
This study focuses on understanding the challenges faced by women and opportunities for their inclusion in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) highlighting valuable expertise of disaster situations suggesting ways to incorporate this into strategies. We found a growing recognition disaster-related research, potential incorporating perspectives policy frameworks. However, there exists disconnect between gender-focused research management practices. The identifies six interconnected DRM, including...
