Factors contributing to the urban vulnerability include: lowering or rising of the water table, subsidence, loss of bearing capacity of soil foundations and instability of slopes. Recent catastrophic earthquakes highlight the poor understanding by decision makers of seismic related risk, as well as the tendency of some builders to use the cheapest designs and construction materials to increase short-term economic returns on their investment...Losses from earthquakes will continue to increase if we do not shift towards proactive solution. Disaster reduction is both an issue for consideration in the sustainable development agenda and a cross-cutting issue relating to the social, economic, environmental and humanitarian sectors. As location is the key factor, which determines the level of risk associated with a hazard, land-use plans and mapping should be used as tools to identify the most suitable usage for vulnerable areas.. | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 关键词 | Seismicity; earthquake; geophysics; seismic; structure | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7355-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7643-7042-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-7355-0Series ISSN 2504-3625 Series E-ISSN 2504-3633 | issn_series | 2504-3625 | copyright | Springer Basel AG 2004 |
