  1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Kimon Letzner; [2024]
    Keywords : Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

  3. 2. Evaluation of structurally controlled rockfall hazard for underground excavations in seismically active areas of the Kiirunavaara mine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Manuel Alberto Fuentes Espinoza; [2023]
    Keywords : Structurally controlled rockfalls; rockfalls due to seismic shaking; sublevel caving; fork layout; Unwedge; wedge analysis; deterministic analysis; probabilistic analysis;

    Abstract : Sublevel caving operations at great depths are subjected both to large stress concentrations that are redistributed as the mining front progresses and to mining-induced seismicity. This is the case for Kiirunavaara mine, Sweden’s largest underground mine. READ MORE

  4. 3. Landslide Susceptibility Analysis Using Open Geo-spatial Data and Frequency Ratio Technique

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : TARIK EMRE YORULMAZ; [2022]
    Keywords : Landslides; Hazard mapping; Geographic Information Systems GIS ; Spatial analysis; Frequency ratio FR ; Area Under a Curve AUC ;

    Abstract : Landslide susceptibility maps are useful for spatial decision-making to minimize the lossof lives and properties. There are many studies related to the development of landslidesusceptibility maps using various methods such as Analytic Hierarchy Process, Weight ofEvidence and Logistic Regression. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mapping of Process Hazard Analyses in Swedish Process Industries and How the Work Can Be Improved

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

    Author : Isabella Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : Risk management; Qualitative risk assessment; PHA; Process safety; Seveso directive; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed.

  6. 5. Natural hazards as teachable moments? : A natural experiment-based study examining the effect of natural hazard exposure on individuals’ climate change concerns and willingness to adopt climate change-related actions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Ida Hedenskog; [2022]
    Keywords : Natural hazard; hazard exposure; climate change concern; climate change action; natural experiment; t-test.;

    Abstract : Natural hazards are an important way for individuals to experience consequences of climate change. It has therefore been suggested that natural hazards could act as opportunities to increase individuals’ concerns about, and willingness to act on, climate change. The empirical evidence within the field is however mixed. READ MORE
