Bedingt durch die verstärkte seismische Aktivität in den letzten Jahren werden immer mehr Kurse zum Thema erdbebensicheres Bauen angeboten. Dieser praktische Leitfaden ist gleichzeitig ein "Crash-Kurs" für Architekten der alle technischen Daten und Informationen vermittelt, die für den Bau erdbebensicherer Gebäude erforderlich sind. Mit seiner Fülle praktischer Beispiele und einfacher Berechnungen ist dieses Buch insbesondere für Studenten und Architekten mit geringem mathematischen Hintergrundwissen geeignet. Allgemeine Aspekte des Baudesigns (Gebäudeform, Baumaterial, Planung usw.) werden in Beziehung gesetzt zu den ganz spezifischen Anforderungen an erdbebensichere Bauten. Dieses Buch schließt die Lücke zwischen allgemeinen Veröffentlichungen für Architekten und sehr detaillierten technischen Nachschlagewerken für Bauingenieure - eine ideale Kombination von Fachwissen.

Experts from around the world examine an innovative proposal to promote both cultural survival and biological conservation: treating cultural and indigenous knowledge as a form of intellectual property. Currently the focus of a heated debate among indigenous peoples, human rights advocates, crop breeders, pharmaceutical companies, conservationists, social scientists, and lawyers, the proposal would allow impoverished people in biologically rich areas to realize an economic return from resources under their care. Monetary compensation could both validate their knowledge and provide them with an equitable reward for sharing it, thereby compensating biological stewardship and encouraging conservation."Valuing Local Knowledge" presents case studies of programs that recognize indigenous rights, and brings direct experience to bear on the international debate over intellectual property, conservation, and indigenous rights.
Climate change poses multiple challenges to development. It affects lives and livelihoods, infrastructure and institutions, as well as beliefs, cultures and identities. There is a growing recognition that the social dimensions of vulnerability and adaptation now need to move to the forefront of development policies and practices. This book presents case studies showing that climate change is as much a problem of development as for development, with many of the risks closely linked to past, present and future development pathways. Development policies and practices can play a key role in addressing climate change, but it is critical to question to what extent such actions and interventions re...

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) has been practised in communities over time. There are several news after major disasters on how these IK has been effective to protect the lives and properties of people and communities. Some of the IK has been orally transmitted and some are documented by local organisations sporadically. Asia, being one of the most disaster prone areas in the world, people and communities has developed their coping mechanisms over time, which is reflected in the form of IK. While many organisations recognise the importance of IK for disaster risk reduction (DRR), there has been few systematic study on analysing the principles of IK and its applicability to the modern context. The book is one of the first and unique attempts of systematic study of IK in DRR. The key challenge will start after the publishing of the book: to make it a useful reference materials for decision making, research, implementation and documentation. The target of the book is professionals, practitioners, researchers and graduate students in the related field.
Three billion people live in rural areas in developing countries. Conditions for them are worse than for their urban counterparts when measured by almost any development indicator, from extreme poverty, to child mortality and access to electricity and sanitation.
