Benchmark analysis for quantifying urban vulnerability to terrorist incidents.
We describe a quantitative methodology to characterize the vulnerability of U.S. urban centers to terrorist attack, using a place-based vulnerability index and a database of terrorist incidents and related human casualties. Via generalized linear statistical models, we study the relationships between vulnerability and terrorist events, and find that our place-based vulnerability metric signific...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Urban Areas Vulnerability to Seismic Risk (A Case Study of Region One, Tehran)
Urban planning rules and considering land use regarding faults can change the consequences of natural hazard such as earthquake. Vulnerability risk is increasing in Region 1 because of existence of the north fault, steep slopes and continuous construction of high-rise buildings. It is clear that Region 1’s Master Plan shouldn’t be prepared without considering natural hazard such as ...
متن کاملTheoretical and Empirical Analysis of Economic Resilience Index
Resilience is defined in different ways by different disciplines and different authors but in general resilience may be defined as the ability of a system and its component parts to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner. Resilience is applicable at the micro as macro level, and for this reason, is sometimes defined as ...
متن کاملSpatial Forecast Methods for Terrorist Events in Urban Environments
Terrorist events such as suicide bombings are rare yet extremely destructive events. Responses to such events are even rarer, because they require forecasting methods for effective prevention and early detection. While many forecasting methods are available, few are designed for conflict scenarios. This paper builds on previous work in forecasting criminal behavior using spatial choice models. ...
متن کاملOscillatory Dynamics of Urban Hierarchies 900-2000 Vulnerability and Resilience
We show the fallacies of the Zipfian and power-law views in quantitative analyses of city-size distributions and of the notion that they are superior, simpler, and more universal than q-exponential or Pareto II distributions because of the single-parameter assumption. Both sets of models have two parameters, but the q-exponential captures a scaling coefficient that is fundamental to understandi...
