Because of the availability of high-resolution satellite imagery, remote sensing data has become an attractive source of data for identifying post-earthquake damage. Recently, several semiautomated methods for earthquake damage detection have been developed. These methodologies fall into two general categories: change detection and thematic classification. In change detection, both preand post-...

This article introduces a timescape perspective to enrich our understanding of postdisaster secondary trauma and social capital. Drawing upon a 2-year ethnographic study in 2008-2010 of a high school most devastated by the Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China, this article discusses how the national future-oriented timescape of recovery produced the secondary trauma among the surviving teacher...

The geographical condition makes Indonesia very vulnerable to natural disasters. Various disasters that have befallen claimed many lives and property losses. Some of them are the earthquake, tsunami, liquefaction in Central Sulawesi, especially Palu City, on September 28 2018, which thousands caused huge socio-economic impacts by disaster need be repaired through rehabilitation reconstruction e...

Abstract This paper has collected more than one hundred papers about resilience at home and abroad, summarised analysed the meaning evaluation methods of then key issues. Through research on these papers, we found that current method for water supply system seismic is divided into two aspects: hand, it’s based performance system, where itself evaluates absorbs earthquake resistance level. On ot...

Recent disasters such as the 2003 SARS outbreak, the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir/Pakistan earthquake and 2005 hurricanes Katrina and Rita clearly identified the shortcomings of IT solutions for disaster rescue and recovery. Of particular note was the accompanying disaster of the lack of viable or deployed data management solutions, specifically information integration and information s...

This paper describes a decision support system based on GIS and satellite remote sensing analysis. Damage triggered by the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu Earthquake was detected using NDVI from SPOT images and texture analysis. Then the emergency transportation route was selected by a cost-based GIS analysis. As the result of the analysis, large-scale damage could be detected with high accuracy. From...

This working paper series shares research produced as part of the Fukushima Global Communication (FGC) Programme, a research initiative of the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU‐IAS). The FGC Programme applies a human security approach to examine impacts of the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident of 11 March, 2011 on people an...

Recoveries after recent earthquakes in the U.S. and Japan have shown that large welfare gains can be achieved by reshaping current emergency plans as incentive-compatible contracts. We apply tools from the mechanisms design literature to show ways to integrate economic incentives into the management of natural disasters and discuss issues related to the application to seismic event recovery. Th...

In order to better research the role helicopter played in the earthquake rescue, a helicopter earthquake rescue mission modeling method based on multi-agent was proposed. The elements of the earthquake environment modeling were described. Typical helicopter rescue missions in earthquake relief were divided into three basic types, and the mission flow was carded. The division and function of age...
