A Rising Tide in Bangladesh: livelihood adaptation to climate stress     

Jonathon Collins 《The Australian geographer》2014,45(3):289-307

ABSTRACT

Bangladesh is at the forefront of countries experiencing and debating climate change, despite having contributed little to global emissions, and has the greatest vulnerability to climate change due to inadequate institutional support for the dense population dispersed in low-lying terrain. A micro-level study of livelihoods in the Panpatti Union, a district of the coastal zone exposed to climate stress and an array of other social, economic and political stresses, demonstrated that adaptation strategies to a range of shocks were both reactive and proactive. The persistent nature of shocks, and the limited margins in which to respond, meant that achieving sustainable long-term livelihoods was unusually difficult. Despite cases of dynamism and flexibility, where livelihoods had been effectively diversified, rural people largely failed to reduce their exposure to vulnerability. That was especially true of extremely poor, landless and female-headed households. In such challenging circumstances external interventions were required to ensure sustainable development, but were unlikely because of the isolation of Panpatti and the number of villages and people in similar circumstances. This emphasised the need to develop a more robust livelihoods framework to support the most vulnerable communities in severe economic and environmental contexts where climate change is likely to exacerbate all existing problems.  相似文献   

基于层次分析法的大连区域雷灾易损性评价     

王赟  王洪祥  满永恒 《气象科技》2014,42(4):702-706

根据大连地区近6年雷电灾害资料,40年雷暴资料,以大连地理、气候环境为背景,通过计算指标权重,采用层次分析法对大连区域雷灾易损性进行评价,并通过一致性检验。结果显示,金州新区属于极高风险区域,瓦房店属于高风险区域,大连、普兰店、庄河属于低风险区域,旅顺属于极低风险区域。结果表明雷灾区域易损性分析不仅取决于样本区域的自然雷暴日,还与样本区域的经济发展情况、人口密度、历史灾害等多方面因素有关,各指标影响权重也并非相同。采用层次分析法进行区域雷灾评价研究,能够有效减少人为因素,为防雷减灾提供了依据。  相似文献

基于计点系统模型的地下水水量脆弱性评价     

尹恒  吴勇  姜丽丽  陈磊杰  王春红 《地下水》2014,(6):16-18

根据德阳市城市规划区的实际情况,选择含水层厚度、富水性、给水度、降水入渗系数、地下水资源可开采模数等能充分反应研究区地下水系统特征的5个指标,建立地下水水量脆弱性评价指标体系,利用专家评分法获取评价指标权重体系,并用计点系统模型及GIS技术进行研究区地下水水量脆弱性综合性评价。结果显示,地下水水量脆弱性较高和高的分布面积约占全区面积的29.7%,地下水水量保护管理形势较为严峻;发现地下水水量脆弱性在地下水补给区相对较低、在排泄区相对较高。  相似文献   

Research on quantitative assessment of climate change risk at an urban scale: Review of recent progress and outlook of future direction     

《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2014

Cities are not only major contributors to global climate change but also stand at the forefront of climate change impact. Quantifying and assessing the risk potentially induced by climate change has great significance for cities to undertake positive climate adaptation and risk prevention. However, most of the previous studies focus on global, national or regional dimensions, only a few have attempted to examine climate change risk at an urban scale and even less in the case of a recent literature review. As a result, a quantitative assessment of climate change risk for cities remains highly challenging. To fill this gap, the article makes a critical review of the recent literature on urban-scale climate change risk assessment, and classifies them into four major categories of studies which jointly constitute a stepwise modelling chain from global climate change towards urban-scale risk assessment. On this basis, the study summarizes the updated research progresses and discusses the major challenges to be overcome for the seamless coupling of climate simulation between different scales, the reproduction of compound climate events, the incorporation of non-market and long-lasting impacts and the representation of risk transmission insides or beyond a city. Furthermore, future directions to advance quantitative assessment of urban-scale climate change risk are highlighted, with fresh insights into improving study methodology, enriching knowledge of climate change impact on city, enhancing abundance and accessibility to data, and exploring the best practice to provide city-specific climate risk service.  相似文献   

基于脆弱性视角的中国高铁城市网络韧性研究     

郭卫东  钟业喜  冯兴华 《地理研究》2022,41(5):1371-1387

基于中国高铁城市间列车流动数据构建高铁城市网络,利用脆弱性视角对中国高铁城市网络韧性进行研究,并探讨了新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情背景下武汉和湖北封城状态的网络韧性及城市响应,主要结论为：① 中国高铁城市网络发育程度有待提高,城市网络发展水平区域差异性和层级性特征明显。② 城市网络核心节点地位突出,控制能力强,关联效应显著,城市网络具有较强的适应和恢复能力,但网络韧性受关键节点影响显著。③ 蓄意攻击相比随机攻击能显著降低城市网络韧性,但在核心网络未遭受严重打击状态下,整体网络仍能保持较高的运转效率。④ 中国高铁城市核心网络保留了城市网络的主要运行特征,东高西低的网络发育特征明显,京广和京沪高铁是核心网络中交往最为频繁的通道。⑤ 武汉和湖北封城对中国高铁城市网络韧性总体影响较小,但对城市节点影响明显,总体上受到城市行政等级、交通运输干线和地理空间距离等因素影响,区域封锁状态下随着核心-边缘结构的调整,城市将提升自我核心度以弥补封锁区域核心地位的缺位。  相似文献

北方农牧交错带少数民族语地名文化脆弱性评价体系构建与实证          下载免费PDF全文

陈晨  汪丽  程林 《干旱区地理》2022,45(3):976-985

北方农牧交错带濒危少数民族语地名规模不断增加,少数民族语地名文化脆弱性日益突出,可持续发展尤为堪忧。地名是由多要素构成的开放性文化系统。因此,如何从系统脆弱性角度将以往对濒危少数民族语地名的定性研究扩展至脆弱程度的定量研究具有一定的理论与现实意义。引入脆弱性研究范式,基于大量实地考察和文献梳理,从敏感性、暴露度及恢复力的视角识别北方农牧交错带少数民族语地名文化脆弱性影响因素,构建脆弱性评价体系,讨论评价尺度和评价方法,并针对典型案例地展开实证研究。结果表明：案例地少数民族语地名文化敏感性和暴露度突出,恢复力较弱,脆弱性较明显。其脆弱性受地名文化系统内损性和外部扰动性因素的共同影响。其中,地方居民对少数民族语地名语源语义的错误认知,较高的汉语普及率和汉译少数民族语地名社会认同度,以及少数民族语地名意译的非准确化是脆弱性形成的重要驱动因子。其次,汉译用字和译音的简化和非标准化,较高的地名合并、更改及弃用比,较少的地名文献储备量,以及少数民族语使用群体规模的大幅下降也是较为重要的单指标因素。  相似文献

石湘波  张其林  邵程远  王焕邦  郑玲 《内蒙古气象》2014,(2):27-30,39

根据宁波市ADTD闪电定位系统的2010—2012年的地闪监测数据和雷电灾害资料以及2012年宁波市人口及GDP数据,选取年平均地闪密度、致灾强度地闪密度、经济损失指标、人员伤亡指标、人员易损指标、经济易损指标等6项指标,采用5级对称等分间隔划分法,确定划分雷灾易损性指标和雷灾综合易损度等级标准,根据雷灾综合易损度得出评估结果:海曙区、江东区为雷灾极高易损区;镇海区为雷灾高易损区;江北区、宁海县、象山县、北仑区、奉化市为雷灾中易损区;鄞州区、余姚市为雷灾低易损区;慈溪市为雷灾极低易损区。  相似文献
