Enhancing tsunami evacuation planning through spatial and behavioral analyses
In tsunami-prone regions such as Indonesia, evacuation plans must be evaluated to ensure both feasibility and practical effectiveness. However, current evacuation plans rely heavily on spatial analysis, while behavioral factors are often treated separately. This study evaluates tsunami evacuation planning in Cilacap, Indonesia, from both spatial and behavioral perspectives and supports context-specific policy. Spatial network analysis shows that …
A Regional Seismic Risk Assessment Framework Accounting for Urban Informality and Data Limitations
Urban seismic risk assessment in the Global South is often constrained by informal construction and limited access to detailed building databases. Existing risk assessments can distinguish between building classes and estimate relative or economic losses. However, in data-limited settings, spatially explicit information on informal-settlement areas and construction-quality differences may not be available at a resolution suitable for community-le…
Measuring spatial urban recovery and expansion in tsunami-affected areas by satellite remote sensing and machine learning approach
This study proposes a novel method for monitoring long-term urban recovery and expansion by integrating freely available medium-resolution satellite data with machine learning. While traditional recovery assessments often rely on regional-based and timely sparse data, we demonstrated that two decades of building dynamics were assessed using time-series Landsat imagery. We applied this method to Banda Aceh, Indonesia, which was devastated by the 2…
Informal urbanism and the dynamics of peri-urban Yangon
This study examines Slum “555,” a peri-urban informal settlement on the fringes of Yangon, Myanmar, to investigate how informality emerges, persists, and functions under conditions of institutional exclusion, regulatory neglect, and spatial marginalization. Drawing on historical review, spatial analysis, and fieldwork conducted in 2018–2020—including interviews, field observations, community mapping, and a small-scale household survey (n = 36)—th…
Tsunami evacuation risk change associated with urban recovery in Banda Aceh after 2004 Aceh tsunami
Twenty years after the 2004 Aceh tsunami, Banda Aceh has undergone significant urban recovery, including the development of tsunami evacuation infrastructure. However, shifts in population distribution and evacuation capacity necessitate a reassessment of tsunami evacuation risk. This study evaluates the extent to which the “Build Back Better” strategy has been realized in terms of tsunami evacuation risk reduction, considering long-term populati…
Identifying Evacuation Needs and Resources Based on Volunteered Geographic Information
Recently, global climate change has led to a high incidence of extreme weather and natural disasters. How to reduce its impact has become an important topic. However, the studies that both consider the disaster's real-time geographic information and environmental factors in severe rainstorms are still not enough. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) data that was generated during disasters offered possibilities for improving the emergency man…
