Understanding Disaster Risk 3 Science and technology to enhance disaster resilience in a changing climate3.1 Introduction; 3.2 Disaster risk in a changing climate; 3.3 Prerequisites for science and technology to enhance disaster resilience; 3.3.1 Operational definitions and concepts; 3.3.2 Scale of scientific inputs; 3.3.3 Mainstreaming science and technology; 3.3.4 Communicating science and technology; 3.4 Concluding remarks; References; 4 Social background in char areas, Bangladesh: Implication for Japanese hazard mapping technology; 4.1 Flood in Bangladesh and Japan 4.1.1 Different flood phenomena in Japan and Bangladesh: speed and duration4.1.2 Japanese measures against flood; 4.1.3 Annual and extreme river flood in Bangladesh; 4.2 Livelihood of char dwellers in river flood area; 4.2.1 General issues for the char dwellers; 4.2.2 Structural measures; 4.2.3 Nonstructural measures-seasonal migration and internal migration as an adaptation strategy; 4.2.3.1 Seasonal migration for annual flood; 4.2.3.2 Internal migration for extreme flood; 4.3 Semistructured interview and questionnaire survey; 4.3.1 Gaibandha District; 4.3.2 Survey in Gaibandha 4.4 DiscussionAcknowledgment; References; 5 Validation of indigenous knowledge for disaster resilience against river flooding and bank erosion; 5.1 Introduction; 5.2 Laboratory experiments; 5.2.1 Experiment setup; 5.2.2 Experiment measurements; 5.3 Results and discussions; 5.3.1 Water surface variations; 5.3.2 Flow velocity; 5.4 Flow velocity on the water surface; 5.5 Flow velocity along longitudinal cross sections; 5.6 Flow velocity along transverse cross sections; 5.6.1 Sediment deposition; 5.6.2 Suspended sediment concentration; 5.7 Summary; Acknowledgment; References
Annotation This volume provides both a local and global perspective on how to implement the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Topics demonstrate the advancement of scientific research as it applies to early warning systems, including identifying risk and the strengthening of infrastructure for different types of hazards. Through different major disasters, it has become evident that there must be a balance between hard and soft technology and physical, process and social solutions.
