中国水灾社会脆弱性评估方法的改进与应用--以长沙地区为例

中国是洪水灾害发生频繁的国家之一,研究水灾脆弱性对中国的灾害风险管理有重要的意义.但是,合理评估脆弱性尤其是社会脆弱性却面临着极大的挑战.论文对评估社会脆弱性指数的研究现状进行了分析,指出了传统评估方法存在的问题,并尝试改进Hoovering评估模式.选择湘江流域的长沙地区为研究区,应用改进模型对研究区进行了社会脆弱性指数的评估.结果表明,长沙地区社会脆弱性从1980年至2000年基本处于下降趋势,但是在2002年和2003年增长迅速.2003年,长沙5区4县中社会脆弱性指数最大的是开福区,其次是长沙县,而宁乡县的社会脆弱性指数最低.     

参保企业转移脆弱性的评估方法研究——以长沙地区为例

保险担当着不可或缺的风险转移、风险担保和风险控制的重要职责,保险公司亦成为政府推动灾害综合风险管理发展的得力助手,但保险公司在进行风险管理的同时,自身也面临着高风险。为了给保险公司在承保业务时提供科学的风险防范指导,促进保险业的健康发展,基于Hoovering改进模型,利用广义回归神经网络对企业通过投保行为转移给保险公司的脆弱性进行了研究和评估。选择湖南省长沙市为研究区,利用湖南省人民保险公司的业务数据库,对该地区水灾转移脆弱性的分布状况进行了重点研究。并且,利用构建的网络模型,对保险公司的承保决策进行风险防范的应用指导。研究结果表明,长沙市雨花区的投保企业给公司带来的水灾脆弱性整体水平最高,其次是芙蓉区。     

基于DEA方法的上海农业水灾脆弱性评估

采取演绎思路,在历史灾情的基础上,根据脆弱性概念,运用包络分析的CCR投入-产出模型,对上海各郊区(县)的农业水灾脆弱性分异规律进行了分析。结果表明:松江与南汇脆弱性达1的年数最多,宝山、金山与青浦处于中等,嘉定、浦东、奉贤与崇明脆弱性达1的年数最少;另外1,991年为水灾形势最为严峻的年份,其次是1985年,1987-1990年间,各区(县)的脆弱性值都偏小,没有脆弱性达1的区域。这与实际情况基本符合,该方法可以为市政部门提供必要信息和决策参考,以提高灾害科学管理的水平。     

自然灾害社会脆弱性评估研究——以上海市为例

基于投影寻踪聚类模型(PPC),结合基于实数编码的加速遗传算法(RAGA),对上海市进行了自然灾害社会脆弱性评估的尝试。结果表明:①灾害社会脆弱性最高的为崇明县,其次为宝山区和金山区;②灾害社会脆弱性最低的是黄埔区,其次是徐汇区和静安区;③总体而言,灾害脆弱性较低的地区集中于上海城市中心区,而城市边缘区的社会脆弱性一般较高。     

基于TOPSIS的城市自然灾害社会脆弱性评价研究——以上海市为例

城市是人口稠密、经济发达、社会财富高度集中的地区,同时也是自然灾害社会脆弱性较高的地区,评估城市自然灾害社会脆弱性对于提高城市自然灾害的抵抗能力、减少自然灾害造成的人员伤亡和经济损失具有重要意义。以上海市18个区县的人口和社会经济数据为基础构建了45个自然灾害社会脆弱性指标,并用主成分分析法选择了16个独立性强的重要指标作为自然灾害社会脆弱性的评价指标;采用TOPSIS方法对上海市18个区县的自然灾害社会脆弱性进行了评价,揭示了上海市自然灾害社会脆弱性的区域特征,为城市自然灾害风险管理和区域综合防灾减灾提供科学依据。     

不同生计农户旱灾社会脆弱性评价——以乌蒙山区毕节市为例

毕节市地处乌蒙山区,经济欠发达,旱灾严重,对毕节市农户旱灾社会脆弱性评价极具意义。从农户视角,在划分农户生计类型的基础上,结合社会脆弱性的概念,从敏感性、适应性与致灾强度三方面构建农户旱灾脆弱性评价指标体系,以实际调研数据为基础,本文采用加权综合评分法评价农户旱灾社会脆弱性,分析旱灾社会脆弱性与农户生计类型的关系。结果显示：农户旱灾脆弱性较高,主要受保险意识与家庭经济状况影响;生计类型与农户旱灾社会脆弱性关系密切,其中纯农户最高,脆弱性指数达到（0.494 4）,二兼户（0.477 2）和非农户（0.454 3）其次,一兼户（0.429 3）最低。今后应增加纯农户非农收入与推广农业保险。     

区域水灾恢复力及水灾风险管理研究——以湖南省洞庭湖区为例

近年来灾害恢复力研究在领域的拓展和定义的延伸等方面取得了较大的进步。灾害恢复力作为系统的一个有价值的属性，与风险、脆弱性和适应性一起成为当前灾害综合管理和减灾研究的重要内容。但目前灾害恢复力研究仍停留在理论和概念层面，鲜有深入的实际操作性强的工作开展。为进一步理解水灾恢复力的内涵和实质，为区域恢复力建设提供切实可行的方案，作者在原有对灾害恢复力研究进展进行综述的基础上，开展了以湖南省洞庭湖区为例的洪水高风险区水灾恢复力理论和实践的研究，提出了由自然维、经济维、组织维、社会维组成的四维区域水灾恢复力概念模型，然后细致分析了区域水灾恢复力利益主体的相互关系，提供了初步的区域水灾恢复力评估模型。最后在定性分析的基础上，对洞庭湖区区域水灾风险管理进行了探讨，提出了相应的管理对策和建议，旨在为政府的防灾减灾决策提供科学依据。     

陕西省宝鸡市自然灾害社会脆弱性评估

自然灾害社会脆弱性的研究对于减轻自然灾害的社会经济损失和提高应灾恢复能力具有重要现实意义。选取涵盖自然灾害暴露性、敏感性及恢复能力的社会经济指标,利用组合赋权法对陕西省宝鸡市各县区自然灾害社会脆弱性进行了分析评价。结果表明:区域人口、经济密度及财产数量是影响自然灾害社会脆弱性的主要因素;区域的人口结构及社会结构决定了其对自然灾害的敏感程度;宝鸡市自然灾害社会脆弱性具有明显的空间差异性,脆弱性较高的地区主要分布在市辖区范围的金渭两区,而陈仓区和凤县是自然灾害社会脆弱性较低的地区。     

洪灾社会脆弱性指标体系研究

加强社会脆弱性研究对减少洪灾损失、提高社会的灾害应对能力有重要意义.根据灾害位置模型和应急管理周期理论,构建了洪灾社会脆弱性的指标体系,其中洪灾社会脆弱性的理论指标体系包含12个一级指标和110个二级指标;洪灾社会脆弱性宏观指标体系包含9个一级指标和54个二级指标,洪灾社会脆弱性微观指标体系包括12个方面.洪灾社会脆弱性理论、宏观、微观指标体系的构建为进一步从不同层面研究洪灾社会脆弱性奠定了基础.

Mapping social vulnerability to flood hazard in Norfolk,England

In this paper, we present a method to assess social vulnerability through the creation of an Open Source Vulnerability Index (OS-VI). The OS-VI provides context to environmental hazards and allows NGOs and local agencies to better tailor services and provide targeted pre-emptive vulnerability reduction and resilience-building programmes. A deductive indicator-based approach is utilised to incorporate a wide range of vulnerability indicators known to influence vulnerability. Unlike many vulnerability indices, the OS-VI incorporates flood risk as well as the loss of capabilities and the importance of key services (health facilities and food stores) through the measurement of accessibility when determining an area's level of social vulnerability. The index was developed using open-source mapping and analysis software and is composed completely of open-source data from national data sets. The OS-VI was designed at the national level, with data for all proxy indicators available across the entirety of England and Wales. For this paper, a case study is presented concerned with one English county, Norfolk.

Highlights

• We produce an open-source vulnerability index.

• Accessibility to health care found to be severely affected by flooding.

• High vulnerability areas found to be disproportionately impacted by flooding.

• Urban extent of an area found to increase its level of vulnerability.

• Flood affected areas more likely to be composed of elderly, sick and poor.

     

中国水灾风险综合管理--平衡大都市区水灾致灾强度与脆弱性

中国大都市区主要分布在大江大河的中下游地区,由于区域土地利用格局的巨大变化,特别是较多的水域和湿地因城市化而被占据,因此,一方面大都市区面临严重的洪水危险,另一方面为了使大都市区尽可能减轻洪水灾害,而加强了防洪能力的建设.然而,近50年的减灾实践证明,洪水灾害却在波动中趋于上升,即大都市区对洪水的脆弱性在增大.在对中国大都市区洪水灾害的区域分析基础上,以广东省为例,构造了综合水灾致灾因子和承灾体为一体的风险评估模型体系,以此提出了平衡大都市区水灾致灾强度与脆弱性的基本土地利用模式,和"政府-企业(社区)-保险公司"相结合的企业风险管理模式.     

Social vulnerability and the natural and built environment: a model of flood casualties in Texas

Studies on the impacts of hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornados indicate that poor communities of colour suffer disproportionately in human death and injury.(2) Few quantitative studies have been conducted on the degree to which flood events affect socially vulnerable populations. We address this research void by analysing 832 countywide flood events in Texas from 1997-2001. Specifically, we examine whether geographic localities characterised by high percentages of socially vulnerable populations experience significantly more casualties due to flood events, adjusting for characteristics of the natural and built environment. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression models indicate that the odds of a flood casualty increase with the level of precipitation on the day of a flood event, flood duration, property damage caused by the flood, population density, and the presence of socially vulnerable populations. Odds decrease with the number of dams, the level of precipitation on the day before a recorded flood event, and the extent to which localities have enacted flood mitigation strategies. The study concludes with comments on hazard-resilient communities and protection of casualty-prone populations.

GIS and local knowledge in disaster management: a case study of flood risk mapping in Viet Nam

Linking community knowledge with modern techniques to record and analyse risk related data is one way of engaging and mobilising community capacity. This paper discusses the use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) at the local level and the need for integrating modern technology and indigenous knowledge into disaster management. It suggests a way to mobilise available human and technical resources in order to strengthen a good partnership between local communities and local and national institutions. The paper also analyses the current vulnerability of two communes by correlating hazard risk and loss/damage caused by disasters and the contribution that domestic risk maps in the community can make to reduce this risk. The disadvantages, advantages and lessons learned from the GIS flood risk mapping project are presented through the case study of the Quang Tho Commune in Thua Thien Hue province, central Viet Nam.     

The rise of politics and the decline of vulnerability as criteria in disaster decisions of the United States, 1953–2009

This paper examines the shift from vulnerability to political responsiveness in presidential and gubernatorial disaster decisions in the United States from 1953–2009 (President Dwight D. Eisenhower to President Barack Obama) using annual request, declaration, and approval data from multiple sources. It makes three key conclusions: first, the 1988 Stafford Act expanded federal coverage to all categories of disasters, added a significant range of individual types of assistance, and provided extensive funding for recovery planning. Second, the election effects on disaster decisions increased over time whereas the impact of social and economic vulnerability (measured by scope of disaster) declined. Third, the changes affected governors more than presidents, and the choices of governors drove those of presidents. The analysis underscores the increasingly political nature of the disaster decision‐making process, as well as the difficulty in emphasising mitigation and preparedness as intensively as response and recovery. Proactive intervention yields fewer political rewards than responsiveness.
