Deconstructing urban flooding from the perspective of vulnerable communities in Northwestern Pakistan
The study aimed to deconstruct urban flooding in Peshawar (one of Pakistan's rapidly urbanizing cities) from the perspective of flood vulnerable communities. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, synthesizing qualitative data with quantitative geospatial analyses of Land-Use/Land-Cover change and flood exposure. Qualitative data were collected through the Focus Group Discussion and In-depth Interviews checklist with a total s…
Analyzing and conceptualizing Pakistan’s pioneering disaster risk communication Mobile application
Pakistan’s vulnerability to disasters necessitates effective disaster risk communication. This study presents a conceptual model of the PDMA Madadgar Application (hereinafter Madadgar) for subsequent code development and testing. Employing the design science research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews from the purposefully selected sample participants and analyzed through the content analysis method. Our findings highlight …
Testing and evaluation of Pakistan’s pioneer disaster risk communication app
This case study examines the PDMA Madadgar Android-based App, developed as Pakistan’s pioneer disaster risk communication platform for communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Building on our previous work, which outlined the App’s conceptual design and architecture, this study presents findings on testing, evaluation, and the final product, i.e., the PDMA Madadgar App. We have used the Design Sciences Research methodology to collect, co-creat…
Mobilising Community Engagement in Disaster Risk‐Sensitive Urban Planning
Despite the emphasis in sustainable development goals (SDG) 11, 13, and 17 on collaborative efforts to address climate change‐induced disaster risks through inclusive planning, stakeholders' role in fostering community engagement in risk‐sensitive urban planning (RSUP) remains underexplored. This study, focusing on Sri Lanka, employs a two‐mode social network analysis to examine stakeholders' roles in overcoming barriers and promoting enablers of…
Deep‐Sea Mining Finance
Deep‐sea mining (DSM) has garnered global attention as a potential solution to the critical metals supply–demand gap, particularly for green technologies addressing climate change. However, environmental concerns pose significant challenges. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), DSM requires innovative financial frameworks to balance economic opportunities and ecological risks. This paper critically examines the fi…
Measuring community disaster resilience at local levels
Decision makers, practitioners and community members need to assess the disaster resilience of their communities and to understand better the risks they face from natural hazards. There is a lack of consensus on what resilience means and how it can be measured as each stakeholder potentially brings a different perspective to understanding community disaster resilience. The paper will identify the key features and characteristics of Community Disa…
Challenges in multi-agency collaboration in disaster management
This study was aimed at investigating the current challenges prevailing in relation to multi-agency collaboration during disaster management and at the strategies that should be implemented in order to overcome such challenges. The study was based on a qualitative approach under which 32 semi-structured interviews were carried out among agencies engaged in disaster management. The collected data were analysed using content analysis. The study ide…
Factors influencing acceptance or rejection regarding being the host community for post-disaster resettlements in developing countries
Post-disaster relocations have both positive and negative impacts on host communities. Receiving the host community's willingness to host the new community is essential to ensure integration and the sustainability of the new resettlement. This “willingness” is influenced by a variety of factors which have not been adequately studied by researchers and policymakers. This study, therefore, investigates the latent variables influencing a host commun…
Assessing the state of the art in community engagement for participatory decision-making in disaster risk-sensitive urban development
A novel techno-economic multi-level optimization in home-microgrids with coalition formation capability
