Societal risk-to-life from natural hazards
Conventional tourism risk-to-life analyses require data that are often unavailable, inaccurate or out-of-date. Thus tourist fatalities can occur where risk analyses have not been completed, as at Whakaari/White Island volcano, New Zealand in 2019, when 22 people on commercial tours died because of a sudden eruption. Even where risk analyses have been carried out (as at Piopiotahi/Milford Sound, New Zealand, a World Heritage Site where thousands o…
Debris-flow risk-to-life
In many active landscapes debris-flow hazards are largely unrecognised and, as a result, developments can be sited in locations where they are unknowingly exposed to debris-flow impact, with correspondingly unrecognised risks to lives. While modelling can represent debris-flow occurrence and behaviour, it is unsuited to the routine use at local office level that is required to identify potentially unacceptable debris-flow risks to existing and pr…
The potential of industrial green stormwater infrastructure to provide long-term supplementary flood mitigation for low-lying coastal cities under climate change
Coastal city flooding is projected to worsen in low-lying cities with climate change. Planners are concerned about the inadequacy of their current flood mitigation strategies, and the expense and risk of investing in expensive grey infrastructures, such as levees, under climate uncertainty. Implementing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) on large privately-owned industrial land may be an attractive alternative; however, little is known about i…
Covid-19 and the View from Africa
In Africa, refusal of COVID-19 and other vaccines is widespread for different reasons, including disbelief in the existence of the virus itself and faith in traditional remedies. In sub-Saharan countries, refusal is often made worse by opposition to vaccines by the religious establishments. This is a pressing problem, as Africa has the highest vaccine-avoidable mortality rate for children under the age of five in the world. Dialogue between those…

Modelling residential habitability and human displacement for tsunami scenarios in Christchurch, New Zealand
Understanding the potential impacts of a large tsunami on a coastal region enables better planning of disaster management strategies. Potential housing damage, habitability, human displacement and sheltering needs are key concerns for emergency managers following tsunami events. This article presents a novel approach to address these requirements. We first review available literature on factors influencing residential habitability, human displace…
People’s Participation in Disaster-Risk Reduction
People’s participation is widely acknowledged as a necessary component of effective, efficient, and inclusive disaster-risk reduction. However, there is little reflection on how commitments for participation in disaster literature and policy translate into meaningful participation in practice. Participation often takes the form of standardized, top-down approaches that have little interaction with decision-making processes. Such approaches often …
The Daily Shaping of State Transparency
While many governments are now committed to release Open Government Data under non-proprietarystandardized formats, less attention has been given to the actual consequences of these standardsfor knowledge workers. Unpacking the history of three open data standards (CSV, GTFS, IATI), thispaper shows what is actually happening when these standards are enacted in the work practices ofbureaucracies. It is built on participant-observer enquiry and int…

Emerging Implications of Open and Linked Data for Knowledge Sharing in Development
Movements towards open data involve the publication of datasets (from metadata on publications, to research, to operational project statistics) online in standard formats and without restrictions on reuse. A number of open datasets are published as linked data, creating a web of connected datasets. Governments, companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) across the world are increasingly exploring how the publication and use of open and l…
Bibliography of urban history 2005
This bibliography is a continuation of and a complement to those published in the Urban History Yearbook 1974–91 and Urban History since 1992. The arrangement and format closely follows that of previous years. The list of abbreviations identifies only those periodicals from which articles cited this year have been taken, though many other journals are also checked. There is an index of towns on p. 567
Current bibliography of urban history
This bibliography is a continuation of and a complement to those published in the Urban History Yearbook 1974–91 and Urban History 1992–2002. The arrangement and format closely follows that of previous years. There is an index of towns on p. 597. The list of abbreviations identifies only those periodicals from which articles cited this year have been taken
