Abstract |
This paper deals with the assessment of social vulnerability (SV) as a critical component of comprehensive disaster risk assessment. Indicators for SV relate to aspects on different scales. Individual characteristics, such as gender, age and education level, have to be assessed on a very local (individual) scale, whereas indicators such as living conditions, economic development and location of the household can be assessed on the scale of a building, building block, an administrative neighbourhood or city district. In turn, measures to reduce SV and thereby the disaster risk are taken on different levels. Information on SV is notoriously difficult to obtain, and traditionally either detailed field studies or census data have been used.This research, which was done in |
