Title An attempt to link risk assessment with land use planning: a recent experience in Italy [Article]
Publication 1996
Citation Disaster prevention and management Vol.5(1) 1996 pp.6-21
Summary Shows a framework to assess urban and regional vulnerability. Starting from the first attempts to measure the vulnerability component of risk (the latter given as the combination of hazard and vulnerability) which have been carried out in Italy but which considered only single buildings, the method used until now is broadened to take into account also the vulnerability of the subsystems which are part of regional systems as well as social and economic vulnerabilities. Some important parameters have been identified to evaluate these vulnerabilities, and put in a framework which aids the assessement of overall regional and urban vulnerability. According to the authors'opinion such a framework can be very useful in addressing planners' and public administrators' decisions both on preventive strategies and during the preparation of reconstruction plans. This framework has been applied to a small seismic settlement in Lombardy, Toscolano Maderno

Publication 1997
Citation Earthquake Spectra, Vol.13(1), February 1997, pp.45-53
Summary Recommendations contained in the report of the Joint Committee on Seismic safety of the California Legislature on the 1971 San Fernando earthquake serve as a basis for reviewing progress in reducing seismic hazards through land use planning in California during the last twenty-five years. Progress since 1971 in the use of normal planning tools to increase seismic safety is summarized. Finally, as a statement of remaining needs, recommendations for improvement of land use planning at state and local levels, as contained in the California Seismic Safety Commission's report on the Northridge earthquake are presented.

Title Enhancing plan quality : evaluating the role of state planning mandates for natural hazard mitigation
Publication College Station, Tex. : Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center, College of Architecture, Texas A&M University, 1 995
Physical Description 26 [10] p.
Series HRRC Publication ; 123A
Note Includes bibliographical references
Summary Traditionally, responsibility for land planning in the United States lies with local governments. However, a growing number of states over the past several decades have attempted to exert more influence on how local governments plan for development. This article uses empirical data from natural hazard elements of 139 community plans in five states to assess whether such state mandates actually result in better local plans. Finds that a state mandate not only achieves plans from communities that otherwise would not make a plan, but in addition those plans are of higher quality than plans made voluntarily in communities not under a mandate to plan. Also finds that a state mandate substitutes for the absence of any positive political forces for planning and overcomes local political, economic, and physical obstacles to planning. Further, the form of the mandate and the state level implementation effort makes a difference, so that some states' mandates achieve local plans of higher quality than those created in other mandating states

Title Floodplain management in Australia : best practice principles and guidelines
Publication Collingwood, Vic. : CSIRO, 2000
Physical Description xviii, 101 p. : ill.
Series SCARM report ; no. 73
Note Includes bibliography (p. 94-95) and index
Summary This document aims to provide a set of best practice principles and guidelines for the management of the risks associated with flooding across the floodplains of Australia. The floodplains are considered as land subject to flooding by the largest flood that could occur at a particular location. The principles define the context of floodplain management and the guidelines develop the principles further and deal with practical issues that should be considered as part of the floodplain management process. Because flooding is site specific, not all issues will be appropriate to every situation. These principles and guidelines have been developed to assist all levels of government, the private sector and the community to manage, in partnership, the flood risk associated with Australia's floodplains on a sustainable basis for the benefit of both present and future generations. This document is directed to flood hazard management - the most critical aspect of floodplain management. Although the importance of ecological and resource management issues is recognised and incorporated in floodplain management, this document does not discuss these issues in depth. The document does not address the issues of vegetation or wetland management, the protection of threatened species or biodiversity in any detail, except as they relate to the human occupation of the floodplain. However, these issues must still be accounted for in the production and implementation of a floodplain management plan. The management of the flood risk associated with the use of the floodplain is a critical part of the overall catchment management process and it is to this specific facet that this document is directed. Flooding caused by overloaded stormwater pipe systems is not explicitly addressed in this document

Title Fuzzy multicriteria model for postearthquake land-use planning. [article]
Publication 2003.
Citation Natural Hazards Review, Vol 4(2), May 2003, pp. 59-64.
Summary A multicriteria model is developed for analyzing land-use strategies for reducing the future social and economic costs in areas with potential natural hazards. A multicriteria decision-making procedure consists of generating alternatives, establishing criteria, assigning criteria weights, and applying the compromise ranking method. The alternatives are constructed to address various scenarios of sustainable hazard effects mitigation. They are generated in the form of comprehensive land-use plans. The alternative plans are developed with consideration of the redevelopment of urban areas and infrastructures and of multipurpose land use, including restrictions on buildings in hazardous areas. The plans have to be evaluated using specified criteria: public safety, reliability, social environment, natural environment, economy, culture, and politics. The multicriteria model can address all relevant conflicting effects and impacts in their spatial units. Traditional approaches to evaluation of alternatives are characterized by uncertainties and are usually imprecise. The fuzzy multicriteria model described herein has been developed to deal with ?qualitative? (unquantifiable or linguistic) or incomplete information. The objective is to provide a methodology for weighing land uses and choosing the best alternatives. An application of this model is illustrated with the postearthquake regional planning problem in central Taiwan.

A central theme is the paradox that in spite of increasing attention to sustainability, land-use conflict is ubiquitous, and as intense, as ever. The role of planning is assessed in three vital areas: transport, biodiversity and minerals extraction.

Title Mitigation from the ground up : [Article] Sustainable cities in California
Publication 1996
Citation Natural Hazards Observer Vol.20(6) July 1996 pp.1-2
Summary It is much safer and cheaper to build communities right the first time. Real mitigation is much harder to achieve following a disaster in a built-up community because of the pressures to rebuild quickly and the costs of retrofitting existing structures. The problem in both newly developing and built-up communities is reluctance by localities to act on their own to force property owners and developers to pay mitigation costs in the absence of a state mandate requiring all communities to do so. Disaster-resistant community design instead treats mitigation costs as an investment, the returns for which are reduced life and property losses and vastly less expensive recovery

Summary Land-use planning for seismic safety has been mandated in California for more than 20 years. The 1994 Northridge earthquake, which significantly impacted 19 local jurisdictions, provided a unique opportunity to assess the effectiveness of this planning as a mitigation strategy. It was found that planning had a small, but measurable, effect in reducing earthquake damage. In particular, the hazard delineation and public awareness components were most effective. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of damage occurred in areas that were previously identified as likely to experience liquefaction, and communities that had undertaken detailed mapping of these areas experienced less damage than those that did not
