Sustainable Digital Transformation of Disaster Risk—Integrating New Types of Digital Social Vulnerability and Interdependencies with Critical Infrastructure

摘要: This article explores the relationship between digital transformation and disaster risk.Vulnerability studies aim at differentiating impacts losses by using fine-grained information fromdemographic, social, personal characteristics of humans. With ongoing development,these will transform result in new traits, which need to be identified andintegrated. Digital transformations produce social groups, partly human, semi-human,or non-human—some already exist, some can foreseen extrapolating fromrecent developments field brain wearables, robotics, software engineering. Thoughinvolved process transformation, many researchers practitioners ofDisaster Risk Reduction or Climate Change Adaptation are not yet aware repercussions fordisaster vulnerability assessments. Emerging vulnerabilities due a growing dependency ondigital services tools case severe emergency crisis. depicts differentimplications for future theoretical frameworks when identifying novel semi-human groups theirvulnerabilities risks. Findings include assumed changes within common indicators socialvulnerability, indicators, typology humans, human interrelations with extensionsand two different perspectives on these their dependencies critical infrastructure.
