Regional Cooperative Disaster Risk Management in Central Asian Borderlands
This paper examines regional cooperation in disaster risk management (DRM) in the transboundary regions of five Central Asian states: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Regional cooperation to reduce disaster potential is a rather recent endeavour both internationally and in the region. Cooperation to enhance environmental security in post-Soviet Central Asia is slowly strengthening monitoring, planning, and prevent…
Natural Hazards - Risk, Exposure, Response, and Resilience
Natural Hazards - Risk, Exposure, Response, and Resilience demonstrates advanced techniques to measure risks, exposures, responses, and solutions to hazards in an array of communities. Eleven original research reports by international scholars on hazard assessment and management are organized into four sections: studies assessing risk using in-depth modeling and technological detection to provide insight into problems associated with earthquakes,…

Water
Water is a vital human need and cities require special consideration in water management because of the scale of demand and the implications of dense settlement and urban activities. Water premises settlement and urbanization, but in every climatological setting it presents opportunities, constraints, and challenges. Technological advances have overcome limitations throughout urban history, but cities continually struggle with the management of u…

Approaches to Disaster Management - Examining the Implications of Hazards, Emergencies and Disasters
Approaches to Disaster Management regards critical disaster management issues. Ten original research reports by international scholars centered on disaster management are organized into three general areas of hazards and disaster management. The first section includes discussions of perspectives on vulnerability and on evolving approaches to mitigation. The second section highlights approaches to improve data use and information management in sev…
Themes of U.S. Wine Advertising and the Use of Geography and Place to Market Wine
Cet article décrit et traite du rôle de la géographie en matière de publicité pour le vin dans le célèbre magazine américain spécialisé en la matière : The Wine Spectator. L’analyse systématique du contenu visuel et textuel des 764 annonces publiées dans les 30 numéros (correspondant à deux ans de publication) démontre qu’environ 66 % d’entre elles présentaient des éléments géographiques, révélant clairement l’importance du lieu dans la productio…
Approaches to Managing Disaster - Assessing Hazards, Emergencies and Disaster Impacts
Approaches to Managing Disaster - Assessing Hazards, Emergencies and Disaster Impacts demonstrates the array of information that is critical for improving disaster management. The book reflects major management components of the disaster continuum (the nature of risk, hazard, vulnerability, planning, response and adaptation) in the context of threats that derive from both nature and technology. The chapters include a selection of original researc…
The barriers impeding precautionary behaviours by undocumented immigrants in emergencies
Emergency management tends to be planned for legal, resident populations that are responsive to mainstream channels of communication and enforcement. For many areas prone to extreme events and emergencies, populations are also composed of transitory tourists, temporary visitors and migrant workers. This latter group may be a large population and, while not completely invisible to residents, may prefer obscurity and concealment within the social l…

Attributes of repeat visitors to small tourist-oriented communities
This study investigates the characteristics of small tourist towns to discern why visitors want to return. It examines how accessibility, physical and cultural amenities, the social setting, and the prestige of places influence repeat-tourism. A survey assessed the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of visitors to three small towns in Texas: an ethnocultural and craft center, a summer beach community, and an artisan marketplace. Discriminant…
Environmental Equity in Urban Texas
The distribution of toxic air releases in urban Texas counties is compared to socioeconomic patterns to identify inequitable risk burdens. Chronic and acute toxic airborne release patterns from 1987 to 1990 are compared to demographics for Metropolitan Area (MA) counties. Spearman rank correlation tests indicate that counties with higher percentages of Blacks and other minority groups are more likely to have higher numbers of acute and chronic to…
La Frontera Química
Toxic releases and spills along the U.S.‐Mexican border are examined to define the “chemical frontier,” where economic growth is increasing industrial‐chemical risks to local populations. The chemical frontier is expanding into Mexico as a consequence of industrialization and free trade, creating what is known as la frontera química. Analyses show that emitting facilities are found in counties with higher population densities and little or no agr…
Chemical Hazards in Urban America
This paper examines the spatial distribution of airborne releases of acutely toxic materials in 3 17 metropolitan areas in the United States. There were 1,362 incidents in urban areas between 1980 and 1989.One-third of the urban areas had no recorded releases during the decade, while 1 I% had at least one per year. Metropolitan areas were classified into high, medium, and low hazard areas based on incident frequency. A discriminant analysis was u…

National geography awareness week 1987
National Geography Awareness Week, initiated by the National Geographic Society and supported by other geographic organisations, seeks to improve the state of geographic knowledge both in schools and among the public. The achievements and limitations of this public relations strategy are assessed. While the commemorative week generated much media attention and stimulated many celebratory activities, the image of geography as a serious academic di…
