Disaster Branding
This article discusses the emerging practice of disaster branding, herein intended as a specific form of place branding associated with post-disaster reconstruction. Adopting Italy as a reference context, the article discusses renowned architects’ role in promoting a neoliberal and consumerist gaze on the affected places and steering public attention from post-disaster reconstruction shortcomings. To this aim, the article combines place branding …
Disasters and Changes in Society and Politics
Disasters and Changes in Society and Politics
From earthquakes to oil spills, Italy is recurrently affected by different kinds of disasters. This book brings a critical perspective to post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, which can impact in both the short and long term upon society, politics and organizations. It is often assumed that disaster-hit areas return to normality or even ‘build back better’ thanks to the interventions of experts. Giuseppe Forino considers the complexities of …
Deep learning models integrating multi-sensor and -temporal remote sensing to monitor landslide traces in Vietnam
Reflexivity and interdisciplinarity
Purpose Reflexivity supports research teams in developing and implementing interdisciplinarity perspectives, but there is still limited literature on this topic. To fill this gap, we explore how reflexivity can support a research team in its interdisciplinary efforts to create new knowledge for disaster risk reduction. Design/methodology/approach We present the reflexive journey of our interdisciplinary research team consisting of Ecuador- and UK…
Understanding the functioning of urban climate finance through topologies of reach
Urban climate action is increasingly understood through the lens of finance: through financial agendas, interests, and practical tools which enable 'bankable' or profitable interventions. While the literature is rife with criticism of the normative foundations and exploitative effects of this approach, it fails to capture the variegated ways in which finance configures, and is configured by, particular urban sites and spaces of power. This contri…
Towards adaptive and transformative finance for urban areas? A framework to analyse the responsiveness of adaptation finance to urban challenges in the global South
Funds-based mechanisms for urban adaptation finance are still underexplored. Addressing this gap, as well as the need for greater learning about ‘how’ urban adaptation finance operates, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for such analysis that considers complexity, uncertainty, transformation and vulnerability. We analyse 39 urban projects financed by Climate Adaptation Funds (CAFs) using a qualitative approach. The findings indicate the …

Leveraging the community of inquiry framework to support web-based simulations in disaster studies
A citizen science approach for enhancing public understanding of air pollution
Introduction to the special issue “The L’Aquila earthquake 10 years on (2009-2019)
The Ecovillage of Pescomaggiore (L’Aquila)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to aim at exploring the relationship between community building and the changes occurred in the context of a post-disaster self-built ecovillage ( EcoVillaggio Autocostruito (EVA)), spontaneously born after the L’Aquila earthquake in 2009. The community eventually dissolved in 2014, following a series of changes in the organization, that resulted in an increasingly centralized decision-making process, and in i…
Governance of Risk, Hazards and Disasters
"The frequency and intensity of hazards and disasters is increasing worldwide. The ways in which risks and disasters are prevented and managed can differ significantly, however, global solutions are required. This book provides a comprehensive overview of cutting edge trends in governance research, exploring how risks, hazards, and disasters can be mainstreamed into a governance framework. It explores the concept of governance as a valuable key w…
L'aquila 2009-2016. The earthquake in the italian social sciences
An overview about the impact of the L’Aquila earthquake on the Italian social sciences, focusing on risk and disaster research
Disaster recovery
The paper uses a disaster resilience (hereafter DR) framework to investigate the case study of L’Aquila, Italy, affected by an earthquake in 2009. It considers DR as a shared and dynamic process integrating the capacities of individuals and communities, and enacted by place-based emergent groups (hereafter EGs). The paper aims to narrate DR in L’Aquila from the grassroots’ standpoint using semi-structured interviews, analysing the EG’s ideas and …
The self‐built ecovillage in L'Aquila, Italy
The paper applies the community resilience approach to the post‐disaster case of Pescomaggiore, an Italian village affected by the L'Aquila earthquake in 2009. A group of residents refused to accept the housing recovery solutions proposed by the government, opting for autonomous recovery. They developed a housing project in the form of a self‐built ecovillage, characterised by earthquake‐proof buildings made of straw and wood. The project is a pa…
