A multi-hazard history of Antigua*

Antigua experiences earthquakes, droughts and hurricanes. To isolate for study each of these as they occur, would be to over simplify the inter-relationships between the aftereffects of one and the occurrence and the effects of the next. Moreover, there will be conditions arising from factors outside the natural disaster spectrum which bear upon, and are themselves affected by, all of these phenomena. This interplay of events and conditions is readily illustrated in the case of island countries, which have a natural and clearly defined containment. Such interrelationships suggest a complex human-ecological system which must be recognized if environmental balance and compatability are to be maintained - particularly in respect of hazards. This documentary analysis of the colonial era in Antigua, has to conclude for the time being with questions concerning the environmental effectiveness of imported systems of administration which, with no knowledge of comparable natural hazards, assumed sectoral separation.

A preliminary investigation of socio-economic problems following the 1978 Thessaloniki (Greece) earthquake

The consequences of social and economic disruption in the city of Thessaloniki following the large earthquake in 1978 are investigated. Specifically, the phenomenon of organized life in camps for Thessaloniki residents over a long period of time is studied. With the use of a questionnaire, all data regarding each person in the camps were assembled and processed with the correspondence analysis method.     

A critical analysis of earthquakes and urban planning in Turkey

The land use plans and policies of developed countries that live with the threat of earthquakes are gaining importance in reducing or eliminating the long‐term threat to people and property. In developing countries, however, these plans and policies seem to increase the level of vulnerability. This paper examines the effects of the earthquakes that have occurred in Turkey since 1992, with a particular focus on urbanisation and planning policies. It is based on extensive surveys carried out on location immediately after the earthquakes in Erzincan and Kocaeli‐Gölcük in 1992 and 1999, respectively. The analysis takes into account several factors, including the height of buildings, geological conditions and the construction period. The authors conclude that land use planning can serve as a very useful instrument for mitigating the extent of disaster damage if it is part of an appropriate planning system. In the case of Turkey, the planning system needs to be reorganised for this purpose.

阪神大震后的日本震灾防御——安徽省城市防震减灾代表团赴日考察见闻

通过赴日考察,介绍了阪神大地震后日本政府在地震立法、制订地震防灾计划、地震应急指挥、地震预报研究以及抗震设防等方面所做的工作,以期对我们有所借鉴。     

地震分布多重分形特征的中期预报意义探讨

讨论了地球岩石圈的自组织临界状态和地震发生的非局域性与多重标度分形统计特征。研究了地震多重分形性质的计算方法及其应用于地震预报的前景。采用推广ＧＰ算法从典型震区的地震数据计算地震多重分形分布的广义维数谱和奇异性谱以确立较敏感的强震前兆,对于不同算法进行了精度、数据量要求及适用范围的比较。研究结果表明：地震分布的多重分形维数谱和奇异性谱对于一些典型震区的强震发生具有中期预报价值。     

南黄海6.1级地震的前兆分析

综述了１９９６年１１月９日南黄海６．１级地震震前所识别的前兆,其中包括十余项测震学前兆和地形（应）变、水化、地电等手段的多项前兆,分析了震前依据前兆而作出的预报实况,并根据目前所认识的地震前兆的某些物理基础,讨论了对这次地震可能作出预报的程度。
