摘要: What makes people and places vulnerable to natural hazards? technologies methods are required assess this vulnerability? These questions used illustrate the circumstances that place localities at risk, those enhance or reduce ability of respond environmental threats. Vulnerability science is an emerging interdisciplinary perspective builds on integrated tradition hazards, disasters research. It incorporates qualitative quantitative approaches, local global geography, historic future temporal domains, best practices. utilizes technological sophistication analytical capabilities, especially in realm geo-spatial computation sciences (making extensive use GPS, GIS, remote sensing, spatial decision support systems), integrates these with perspectives from natural, social, health, engineering sciences.
