Adaptability factors of ethnic minorities to climate change
Climate change has continuously affected the agricultural sector of ethnic minority farmers in remote areas. This paper examines how climate change affects the agricultural sector of ethnic minority farmers and their adaptation and tries to determine the factors affecting farmers’ adoption of adaptation strategies to cope with the impacts of CC in Bac Kan Province, Vietnam. We used survey and FGDs methods to gather data from 362 randomly selected…
Understanding the Psychological Factors Affecting Vietnamese Ethnic Minority Farmers to Climate Change
Farmers’ adaptation behavior is vital in adapting to climate change (CC) effects and is affected by many factors. However, the influence of psychological factors on the farmers’ behavior has been less investigated. This research demonstrates the effect of these factors on the “adaptation behavior” of ethnic minority farmers in Backan province, Vietnam. We selected randomly 362 farmers for interviews. Focus group discussions and key informant inte…
Integrating traditional and local knowledge into disaster risk reduction policies
Causes and consequences of tipping points in river delta social–ecological systems
The sustainability of social–ecological systems within river deltas globally is in question as rapid development and environmental change trigger “negative” or “positive” tipping points depending on actors’ perspectives, e.g. regime shift from abundant sediment deposition to sediment shortage, agricultural sustainability to agricultural collapse or shift from rural to urban land use. Using a systematic review of the literature, we show how cascad…
Impacts of disaster and land-use change on food security and adaptation
Population health risks in multi-hazard environments
The local population of Sundarbans, an environmentally vulnerable delta region in south-eastern India, is currently affected by combined negative impacts of cyclone Amphan and the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown measures have created an additional burden on the health care system, while flooding during Amphan increased the risk of spreading water-borne diseases. In this viewpoint, we provide a conceptual model of the complex interlinkages among t…

An Interdisciplinary Approach for Disaster Resilience and Sustainability
A statistical approach towards defining national-scale meteorological droughts in India using crop data
In recent years, several drought indices have been developed and used to monitor local to regional scale droughts on various temporal scales. However, to our knowledge, these indices do not possess generalized criteria to define a threshold in which to declare a national-scale drought. We present a statistical methodology to identify national-scale meteorological drought years in India. We implement a Superposed Epoch Analysis and bootstrap analy…
Assessing public health risk factors for internally displaced households in North Darfur, Sudan
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the public health risk factors of internally displaced households and suggest appropriate measures and strategies for health risk reduction in the context of IDPs. Design/methodology/approach The composite Index (CI) method was used to compare the public health risk factors at the household level in three IDP camps. A set of 22 indicators were studied in 326 households. Households were selected by us…

Assessment of flood adaptive capacity of urban areas in Thailand
Natural Hazards Management in Asia
Natural disasters are more common now than they have been ever before. Globally, climates are changing and natural hazards are becoming routine. This book is a study of natural hazards and how they turn into disasters-with a focus on Asian countries. It takes a holistic view of the subject and discusses different concepts of disaster management to understand both theory as well as practice. The book also explains best practices and the most effec…
Urban Flooding and Climate Change
Flooding in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, impedes the development of the city and brings challenges to the well-being of its citizens. The city is situated in a flood-prone area. This study investigated perceptions of the causes among the residents of perennial floods in Bangkok, examining daily precipitation changes over the last 30 years on eight indices (R10, R20, R25, CDD, CWD, RX5day, PRCPTOT and R99p) and the characteristics of the city that…
