The essential contribution of indigenous knowledge to understanding natural hazards and disaster risk Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The integration of indigenous knowledge into understanding disasters from natural hazards is hitherto hampered by the limited conceptualization of the process that shapes indigenous knowing. This study proposed a framework, structuring the processes that shape indigenous knowledge on disaster risk. Bearing that framework in mind, the evolution of disaster risk as understood by indigenous people was investigated based on the case floods in the ...
Household social vulnerability to natural hazards in the coastal Tran Van Thoi District, Ca Mau Province, Mekong Delta, Vietnam Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The large-scale land use transformations since the 1990s in the Mekong Delta have had significant impacts on socio-economic conditions and livelihoods of local residents, potentially affecting their vulnerability to coastal hazards. This study presents an assessment of social vulnerability of households in the coastal Tran Van Thoi District of the Ca Mau Province, the lowest part of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. The data of 21 socio-economic ...

Spatial variation in household-level risk to natural hazards across the coast of Bangladesh Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
People’s vulnerability, exposure and capacity are key components of a risk assessment. Index-based methodologies have proved useful to document spatial variation in risk-controlling factors. The objective of this study is to propose a methodology to derive quantitative indicators of household vulnerability, exposure and capacity to assess household’s risk and its spatial variation. The method is applied to six unions of the coastal region of ...
