Urban fire spread modelling
Computational urban fire spread modelling techniques have scope for being utilised in fire risk quantification and for developing fire spread mitigation measures. Historically, most have been developed in the context of post-earthquake fire spread, but the numerical principles behind the fundamental mechanisms – namely fire development within, and fire spread to and from, buildings – are clearly applicable in other contexts. This paper reviews th…
Initial fire safety analysis of shelters in Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps
The influence of wind and the spatial layout of dwellings on fire spread in informal settlements in Cape Town
Conceptualising a GIS-based risk quantification framework for fire spread in informal settlements
Fire risk reduction on the margins of an urbanizing world
Purpose Globally, over 95% of fire related deaths and injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries. Within informal settlements, the risk of fire resulting in injury or death is particularly high. This paper examines fire risks in informal settlements in New Delhi and Cape Town, and tented informal settlements in Lebanon. Design/methodology/approach Our analysis draws on primary sources, secondary literature, statistical data and qualitativ…
Proximal design in South African informal settlements
In many countries, deaths and injuries due to fire in urban areas have been reduced by more equitable infrastructure, more affordable and accessible formal housing, and the provision of state services, including urban planning, professional fire-fighting services, and building regulations (Rush et al 2020). Such developments have proved more challenging in low-and-middle-income-countries, where 95% of the world’s fire deaths and morbidity remain …

The first year of hyperinflation in the former Soviet Union
OBJECTIVES. Hyperinflation began in early 1992 in the former Soviet Union. This paper describes factors associated with nutritional status that year among elderly pensioners. METHODS. Approximately 300 pensioners were selected randomly in each of eight cities. Surveys of diet, weight, health status, and social and economic conditions were done between June and December 1992. This paper reports on 2281 completed questionnaires. RESULTS. Half the p…
