Abstract A common assertion in discussions of flooding is that risk perception critical and linked to risk‐mitigating behavior. Furthermore, many assert the adverse effects floods could be reduced by changes communication, thereby influencing foster mitigating We argue these assertions are based on quite questionable underlying assumptions: That stakeholders generally aware flood risk, they have capacity engage disaster reduction, their actions can effective. The belief policies influenced...
Modern societies are characterised by global connectedness and complexity. At the same time society, various infrastructures that connect define it, understood to be increasingly threatened unpredictable uncertain (or unknown) risks. With this, conceptualisation development of resilience has become a dominant, yet enigmatic preoccupation: dominant because it is seen as fundamental component devolved proactive approaches mitigating complex threats whatever their nature; its practical...
Communicating the need to prepare well in advance of wildfire season is a strategic priority for management agencies worldwide. However, there considerable evidence suggest that although these invest significant effort towards this objective lead up each season, landholders at-risk locations often remain under-prepared. One reason poor translation risk information materials into actual preparation may be attributed diversity people now inhabiting wildfire-prone peri-urban landscapes. These...
Abstract Affluence and vulnerability are often seen as opposite sides of a coin—with affluence generally understood reducing forms through increased resilience adaptive capacity. However, in the context climate change an increase associated hazards disasters, we suggest need to re-examine this dynamic relationship—a complex association define here Affluence–Vulnerability Interface (AVI). We review research different national contexts show how more nuanced understanding AVI can (a)...
Today the majority of globe’s inhabitants live in urban areas, and according to all prognoses, cities will continue grow coming decades. Global are also becoming increasingly connected as a result economic, political, cultural demographic globalization. In context security management, growing complexity these connections bring may present double-edged sword: global can be both most secure dangerous places when disaster strikes. Developing appropriate mechanisms prepare for cope with complex...
Resource criticality arising from peak production of primary ores is explored in this paper. We combine the Geologic Supply-Demand Model Mohr [1] to project future resource for selected commodities Australia, namely iron and coal which together represent around 50% value total Australian exports as well copper, gold lithium. The projections (based on current estimates ultimately recoverable reserves) indicate that Australia would occur lithium 2015; 2021; copper 2024; 2039 2060. quantitative...
During the past decade concept of ecosystem services (ES) – benefits that nature provides to humans has increasingly been embraced as a promising avenue towards sustainable resource management. Initially pitched incentive-based biodiversity conservation, ES is now being applied diversity environmental resources in multitude policy, planning and management contexts. In context water planning, rivalling Integrated Water Resource Management paradigm. Despite omnipresence language, significant...
