Spatial Planning and Resilience Following Disasters
Population shifts and an increase in the number of both natural and manmade disasters are having a profound effect on urban and rural habitats globally. Discussing for the first time the role of spatial planning after significant disasters, this book brings together the experiences and knowledge of international contributors from academia, research, policy, and practice to highlight ongoing efforts to improve spatial resilience across the globe and predict future trends. Comparisons of responses in five countries--the United States, Japan, Indonesia, Slovakia, and Germany--point to the varied influence of significant disasters on spatial planning and resiliency under different legal, administrative, and cultural frameworks, enabling contributors to draw conclusions about the transferability of approaches between different countries.
Social Entrepreneurship in the Water Sector
There are few sectors where Šgetting things done sustainably� is as important as it is for the water sector. From drinking water and sanitation to water use in agriculture, industry, and ecosystems, Rafael Ziegler and his co-authors investigate the con
U.S. Emergency Management in the 21st Century
U.S. Emergency Management in the 21st Century: From Disaster to Catastrophe explores a critical issue in American public policy: Are the current public sector emergency management systems sufficient to handle future disasters given the environmental and social changes underway? In this timely book, Claire B. Rubin and Susan L. Cutter focus on disaster recovery efforts, community resilience, and public policy issues of related to recent disasters and what they portend for the future. Beginning with the external societal forces influencing shifts in policy and practice, the next six chapters provide in-depth accounts of recent disasters— the Joplin, Tuscaloosa-Birmingham, and Moore tornadoes...
L'organisation Communautaire en CLSC
Pourquoi les gens se mobilisent-ils? Comment, par une intervention en organisation communautaire, peut-on aider à susciter ou structurer le passage de la résistance individuelle à l'action collective? De quelle manière, ensuite, maintenir la mobilisation sur une plus longue période? C'est à ces questions relatives aux processus de constitution et de pérennisation des acteurs collectifs que répond ce livre. Martine Duperré propose une démarche inscrite dans un processus d'intervention planifié comme il se pratique en travail social et plus particulièrement en organisation communautaire. Le livre s'adresse donc aux intervenants actuels ou futurs, qu'ils soient salariés ou non, des CLSC, des Centres de santé, des organismes communautaires ainsi qu'à ceux du réseau du développement local et régional au Québec.
European Climate Vulnerabilities and Adaptation
European Climate Vulnerabilities and Adaptation: A Spatial Planning Perspective analyses the impacts climate change might have on regions and their local economies. Regions clearly differ in view of the complex patterns of climate change impact, but also regarding the given vulnerability and coping capacity. Impacts of climate change can have a marked effect on the functioning of regions and sectors of the society, if not properly addressed. Readiness to adapt to the impacts and lasting changes counts towards vulnerability of the regions. The book builds upon the findings of a project conducted under the European observation network for territorial development and cohesion (ESPON), The ESPON...
