本文初步分析和研究了天津市近百年来的10余种城市自然灾害的特征与成因,指出随着城市化的发展,相应地必须加强城市自然灾害的对策研究,并结合天津市实际情况,提出初步的对策方案。     

利用人工降雨手段化汛期特大暴雨灾害为可利用水资源

利用美国1979-1995年NCEP/NCAR再分析及其它格点资料进行分析。发现汛期影响我国特大暴雨及洪涝灾害的，是一支存在于南，北两半球之间的非亚支“宏观气流系统”，它的气流运行具有一定的规律性，因而，对我国的特大暴雨和洪涝灾害，不但可以进行及时的监测和预报，而且可以在这支宏观气流系统的上游地带施行人工影响云雨工程，把空中丰沛水分降到需要雨水的地区，化洪涝灾害为宝贵的水资源。     

新疆1950～1997年洪旱灾害的统计与分形特征分析

基于新疆1950～1997年的洪旱灾害统计资料,运用一般统计学方法与分形理论分析了新疆这段时期内相应的洪旱灾害特征。分析发现,20世纪80代年以来新疆洪旱灾害呈急剧扩大的态势,20世纪80年代和90年代与50年代相比,洪水与干旱灾害成灾面积都增大了约6～7倍;1950～1997年新疆洪旱灾害时间序列具有明显的分形特征,相应的饱和分维数分别为d=2.9733与d=3.6921,饱和关联维数对应的嵌入空间的最小维数为9。

中国城市灾害地学背景研究

根据特征致灾因子的差异，将中国城市灾害类型大体上划分为沿海台风暴雨洪涝地面沉降型、北方干旱缺水风沙地面沉降型和南方洪涝渍害地面沉陷塌陷型等三大类型区。分别用上海、北京、武汉作为三种案例地区，讨论了以上三种城市灾害类型区的主要灾害及其地学背景。指出除了自然地理的因素外，人类在城市灾害致灾因素中也通过开采地下水、设计防洪排涝设施等行为表现出一定程度的作用.     

自然灾害经济损失函数与变化规律

为对自然灾害损失进行定量评估,本文提出了自然灾害经济损失函数的概念,并讨论了该函数的性质,提出并论证了自然灾害经济损失随时间波浪式增加规律。根据这一规律,对我国提出的“到本世纪末,最终达到减少自然灾害损失30%”的减灾目标进行了讨论,提出了自己的看法。     

广东自然灾害成因及其对经济的影响

本文从地理位置、地形特征、地质构造、水文特征、天气气候特征、人类活动、经济结构与布局,以及社会环境等8个方面分析了广东自然灾害形成的环境条件及类型,并分析研究了成灾特点和对广东经济发展的影响。结果表明,广东自然灾害的形成及其成灾频度和强度,既决定于自然环境的变异,也受制于人类活动和社会经济环境,并具有区域性、周期性、群发性、连锁性、阶段性和社会性等特点,自然灾害对于广东经济发展的严重影响有日益加剧的趋势。     

Race, Ethnicity and Disasters in the United States: A Review of the Literature

In this paper we synthesise past disaster research that addresses issues of race and ethnicity in the United States. Using an eight-stage typology to organise the findings, this literature review presents the results from a wide range of studies. The synthesis shows how various racial and ethnic groups perceive natural hazard risks and respond to warnings, how groups may be differentially affected, both physically and psychologically, and how disaster effects vary by race and ethnicity during the periods of emergency response, recovery and reconstruction. We show that studies have important findings, many illustrating that racial and ethnic communities in the US are more vulnerable to natural disasters, due to factors such as language, housing patterns, building construction, community isolation and cultural insensitivities. By presenting these studies together, we are able to witness patterns of racial and ethnic inequalities that may be more difficult to see or interpret in individual studies that take place in one specific time and place. We conclude the review with policy and research recommendations.     

Recovery following the Gediz earthquake: a study of four villages of western Turkey

This paper is the result of a social and economic survey of four villages in the Gediz region of South West Anatolia, Turkey, which was undertaken in two phases, October/November 1982 and March/April 1984. The specific aims of this survey were to define what was perceived as recovery in the local social, cultural and economic context and to measure recovery in communities which had suffered different degrees of distress and loss following the earthquake and, consequently, had received different amounts and kinds of assistance from the government. Essentially, therefore, the survey sought to answer the question – how far did the government programme of assistance promote recovery and over what period of time? The implications of such an inquiry concern what constitutes appropriate assistance following earthquake in rural communities. It is hoped that studies of this kind can help to guide decision making of both national governments and international humanitarian organizations on the role of material aid in the process of recovery. This is particularly urgent in view of the fact that preliminary investigations of other small rural and under-developed communities struck by earthquake suggest that material aid may actually preclude recovery in the longer term.     

溜石坡崩塌体运动过程与防治措施研究*

为降低中巴公路沿线溜石灾害风险,以中巴公路K777桩处溜石坡为研究对象,定性分析溜石崩塌体运动特征并设计格栅挡墙防护结构。采用有限差分与离散元耦合方法对溜石灾害进行数值模拟,定量分析溜石崩塌体运动状态及公路挡墙动力冲击响应。结果表明:不同粒径下溜石平均速度变化趋势相同,溜石崩塌体运动速度与溜石粒径呈正相关,溜石在自然条件下对公路挡墙冲击集中且受力较大,通过布置格栅挡墙可降低公路挡墙受力,分散溜石冲击,有效拦截大粒径溜石,降低溜石灾害影响。在相同格栅挡墙孔径下,降速效果与溜石粒径呈负相关。可通过考察溜石坡实际情况设计格栅挡墙尺寸,降低中巴公路沿线溜石灾害风险。
