This trend is often accompanied by proliferation of poorly built housing, uncontrolled use of land, occupation of unsafe environments and overstretched services. When a natural hazard strikes such a city many people are vulnerable to loss of life and property. This book explores what these people think and feel about the threats that they face. How do they live with perils ranging from earthquakes to monsoons, from floods to hurricanes, in the 21.st. century?.The authors are drawn from a large range of disciplines: Psychology, Engineering, Geography, Anthropology and Urban Planning. They also reflect on how perils are represented in multiple cultures: the United States, Japan, Turkey, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The book therefore not only brings to light the ways that different cultures represent natural hazards but also the different ways in which various disciplines write about living with perils in the 21st century..The book is addressed both to researchers and to organizations involved with risk management and | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Earthquakes; Natural hazards; Perception; Risk; Urban Society; landscape/regional and urban planning | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6184-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-017-8326-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-6184-1Series ISSN 1878-9897 Series E-ISSN 2213-6959 | | issn_series | 1878-9897 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 |
