Academic publishing in disaster risk reduction
Nowadays there are approximately 80 Anglophone journals that deal primarily with disaster risk reduction (DRR) and allied fields. This large array signals a sustained, if uneven, growth in DRR scholarship but also competition between the offerings of different publishers and institutions. The purpose of this article is first to summarise the development of academic publishing on DRR from its early beginnings to the present day. The paper then eva…
Aspiration and reality
Research shows that flood damage potential has increased significantly in the last 15 years. At the same time, flood policy has shifted away from simplistic flood defence towards ‘living with floods’ and ‘making space for water’. This paper explores the mis‐match between the aspiration in policy ideals, the reality of rising potential economic damages and the inability of the flood risk appraisal process to match the aspiration with the reality. …
Natural and imposed injustices
This paper examines the challenges facing English flood risk management (FRM) policy and practice when considering fair decision‐making processes and outcomes at a range of spatial scales. It is recognised that flooding is not fair per se : the inherent natural spatial inequality of flood frequency and extent, plus the legacy of differential system interventions, being the cause. But, drawing on the three social justice models – procedural equali…
Resource Accessibility and Vulnerability in Andhra Pradesh
Coastal Andhra Pradesh in southern India is prone to tropical cyclones. Access to key resources can reduce the vulnerability of the local population to both large-scale disasters, such as cyclones, and to the sort of small-scale crises that affect their everyday lives. This article uses primary fieldwork to present a resource accessibility vulnerability index for over 300 respondents. The index indicates that caste is the key factor in determinin…
Gauging the impact of natural hazards
Flood risk management policy in the UK is shifting away from simplistic flood defence towards ‘living with floods’ and ‘making space for water’, thereby accepting that significant flood damage and disruption will continue into the future. This highlights the need for efficient emergency response to flood events, as the first step towards recovery, yet we know very little about the resources and costs that this involves. This paper evaluates the s…
River landscapes
River landscapes are increasingly important components of rural and urban environments but many river locations have become degraded by ‘over‐engineering’ and neglect. They now need careful resuscitation using the range of relevant disciplines such that their values are enhanced in a sustainable way. The ‘cultural’ turn taken by landscape studies in the past decade or so will help, by adding interpretive skills and a deeper analysis of shared val…
