The Urban Rehabilitation of Post-Disaster Scapes

Description

This book provides the first extensive examination and analysis of the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, by connecting its elements throughout disaster phases: the pre-disaster phase, consisting of reduction in form of prevention and mitigation; the disaster event phase, consisting of the disaster impact followed by the disaster effects; and the post-disaster phase, consisting of the post-disaster recovery. This work includes the analysis of 18 disaster case studies worldwide, of which 12 case studies are within the natural and 6 case studies within the man-made disaster category. The criteria for choosing these examples is based on the division into natural and man-made disaster subcategories and the period of their occurrence, from 1991 to 2021. The main purpose of this comparative analysis is to reveal the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, through the role of its open public spaces during each disaster phase in both natural and man-made disaster categories. The book is a useful read for researchers and students of disaster management.   Preface Contents About the Editors Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 The Main Research Problem and Research Question 1.1.2 Research Method References Chapter 2: Literature 2.1 Literature 2.1.1 The Use of Open Public Spaces in the Disaster Management 2.1.2 The Urbanscape Identity Before and After the Disasters 2.1.3 Definitions and Concepts in Disaster Terminology References Chapter 3: Research on the Disaster Process Case Studies in the World 3.1 Research on the Disaster Process Case Studies in the World 3.1.1 Criteria for the Selection of the Natural Disaster Case Studies in the World Hydrological Disasters Meteorological Disasters Geophysical Disasters Climatological Disasters 3.1.2 Criteria for the Selection of the Man-Made Disaster Case Studies in the World Sociological Man-Made Disasters Technological Man-Made Disasters 3.1.3 Criteria for the Analysis of the Disaster Process Case Studies The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process References Chapter 4: Comparative Analysis of the Selected Hydrological Disaster Process Case Studies 4.1 Comparative Analysis of the Selected Hydrological Disaster Process Case Studies 4.1.1 Floods Along the Gulf Coast, the United States of America (2005) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models 4.1.2 Floods and Landslides in Switzerland, (2005) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models 4.1.3 Floods in Pakistan (2010) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models References Chapter 5: Comparative Analysis of the Selected Meteorological Disaster Process Case Studies 5.1 Comparative Analysis of the Selected Meteorological Disaster Process Case Studies 5.1.1 Cyclone in Bangladesh, (1991) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models 5.1.2 Cyclone in Australia, (2017) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models 5.1.3 Hurricane in the United States of America, (2012) The Pre-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Disaster Event Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Phase of the Disaster Process The Post-disaster Urban Rehabilitation Models References Chapter 6: Comparative Analysis of the Selected Geophysical Disaster Process Case Studies 6.1 Comparative Analysis of the Selected Geophysical Disaster Process Case Studies 6.1.1 Volcanic Eruption of Mt.
