Spatial analysis of disaster resilience research
Modeling hurricane evacuation/return under compound risks—Evidence from Hurricane Ida
Household evacuation decision making during simultaneous events
Utilising qualitative data for social network analysis in disaster research
An abundance of unstructured and loosely structured data on disasters exists and can be analysed using network methods. This paper overviews the use of qualitative data in quantitative social network analysis in disaster research. It discusses two types of networks, each with a relevant major topic in disaster research-that is, (i) whole network approaches to emergency management networks and (ii) personal network approaches to the social support…
Patterns of Social Support and Trajectories of Household Recovery after Superstorm Sandy
Understanding how vulnerability conditions are related to disruptions in social support and trajectories of recovery after disasters is important for promoting resilience. Based on household survey data from New Jersey counties impacted by Superstorm Sandy, a hierarchical clustering method was utilized to classify recovery trajectories as well as common patterns of social support reflecting contrasting dimensions of social capital over time. Resi…
Information management and the return-entry process
Toward Simulating Dire Wildfire Scenarios
Recent extreme wildfires are motivating unprecedented evacuation planning. A critical need is to consider dire scenarios that allow less time to clear an area than required. Although these scenarios often begin with an ignition near a community, any scenario can become dire due to weather conditions, human response, technology, cascading events, and community design. Although research has widely addressed scenarios with ample time and favorable c…
The disaster return-entry process
Purpose Return-entry is understudied in the disaster science literature. This paper provides an overview of the return-entry process, identifies key factors informing the selection of return strategy, proposes a simple classification of return strategies and offers ideas for advancing research in this area. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores previous research and recent return-entry processes in order to advance understanding of stra…
A Study on the GIS Professional (Gisp) Certification Program in the U.S
This study examines the characteristics of the members in the most popular Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Professional (GISP) certification program in the United States as well as the spatial patterns of the certified GISPs. The results show that the majority of GISPs (97.3%) are located in urban areas. About 75% of the GISPs are male. Among all the GISPs, 3971 GISPs (43.3%) play a managerial role, while 4983 individuals (54.5%) assume a no…
Support and barriers in long-term recovery after Hurricane Sandy
This study examines the long-term recovery and resilience processes of households on the New Jersey coast after Hurricane Sandy. Based on theoretical frameworks of community ecology, communication ecology, and the Communication Theory of Resilience, we analyzed focus group interviews and timeline data to examine the sources and forms of support and barrier and provide a detailed account of the ways in which individuals engaged with support and ba…
Sources of organisational resiliency during the Thailand floods of 2011
Based on the Institutional Collective Action framework, this research tests the impact of two competing hypotheses-bonding and bridging-on enhancing organisational resiliency. The bonding hypothesis posits that organisational resiliency can be achieved if an organisation works closely with others, whereas the bridging hypothesis argues that such a structure places considerable stress on an organisation and advocates for an organisation to positio…
Household Evacuation Decision Making in Response to Hurricane Ike
This study focused on household evacuation decisions and departure timing for Hurricane Ike. The data were consistent with an abbreviated form of the Protective-Action Decision Model in which female gender, official warning messages, hurricane experience, coastal location, and environmental and social cues were hypothesized to produce perceived storm characteristics, which in turn, would produce expected personal impacts. Finally, the latter, tog…
A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis of Spatiotemporal Patterns of Terrorist Incidents in Iraq 2004–2009
As terrorism on all scales continues, it is necessary to improve understanding of terrorist and insurgent activities. This article takes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approach to advance the understanding of spatial, social, political, and cultural triggers that influence terrorism incidents. Spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal patterns of terrorist attacks are examined to improve knowledge about terrorist systems of training, planning…
Mapping wildfire evacuation vulnerability in the western US
Spatial and Temporal Analyses of Terrorist Incidents in Iraq, 2004–2006
Terrorist incidents are not random in space or time. Understanding the current spatial and temporal patterns of terrorist incidents, as well as predicting future trends, is vital for effective counterterrorist efforts. This article focuses on terrorist incidents in Iraq, which are defined here as attacks, both successful and unsuccessful, in order to detect patterns in the establishment of terrorist activity spaces. Using Geographic Information S…
