In April 2024, displacing 600.000 people in Brazil due to floods, having hottest day records already in Europe and in Asia are clear examples to the shifting hazard patterns. In such dynamic environments, the interdependency among the risk components amplifies the impact of disasters. In such an environment, disaster risk is constantly changing, and there is a definite limit to our capacity to foresee the failures resulting from unexpected interactions between interdependent components. Indeed, the intensity and extent of the challenges make clear that achieving resilient cities is everybody’s business. Scientists, stakeholders and citizens are faced with the challenge to adapt their disaster risk reduction plans but lack the understanding and tools to account for the cross-sectoral impacts and dynamic nature of the risks involved. In this course, we follow the socio-technical approach in complex city systems and investigate the ways to contribute to cities’ resilience. The main problem in disaster risk management is providing static measures to a dynamically changing system. In this course you will learn looking at the nature of risk as a 'dynamic' concept rather than a static one. You will focus on multi-hazard risk assessment and dynamic risk reduction measures on various sectors."@en . "Planning for Resilient Cities"@en . . "Planning for Resilient Cities"@en .

"Students will be encouraged to find creative solutions in the use of models, data, and concepts taught as well as state-of-the-art literature and consultation of in-house experts. Introductory lectures are given by teachers that give an overview of the particular topic and guide students with respect to main methods and techniques. For most of the topics treated, an accompanying GIS exercise is offered, in which students can apply what was taught. The exercises contain also advanced sections, where students are further challenged to come up with new solutions. Answer sheets are provided for each of the exercises. Most of the exercises relate to RiskCity, a (partly) hypothetical case study city in a developing country that is exposed to multiple hazards (earthquakes, floods, landslides, technological hazards). Several larger case studies are included where students work in small groups on a particular problem in a real case study related to risk assessment. Students build up a portfolio of assignments. \n\nThe teaching approach contains:\n\n1 - Keynote lectures to introduce key concepts and principles\n\n2 - Supervised practicals to bring the knowledge into practice using a range of tools\n\n3 - Tutorials for personalized and plenary feedback and to explore more independently the use of knowledge and tools\n\n4 - Project work, either individual or group projects"@en . . . . . .

"The knowledge of hazardous processes and the ability to predict their occurrence in terms of intensity and frequency and their interaction are important requirements to quantify their impact on society. This module focuses on the analysis of the risk, its evaluation, and its use in decision making for different disaster management phases.\n\nThe assessment of risk is a very multi-disciplinary field, that requires knowledge on hazards (types, frequency, intensity, modeling methods), elements-at-risk (types, classification, data collection, quantification), vulnerabilities (physical, social, environmental, institutional), capacities (to predict, cope, and recover) and resilience. Risk could be expressed as qualitative classes, risk matrices, or quantified as expected losses (e.g. monetary values, population). \n\nQualitative and/or quantitative risk assessment is used as a basis for different types of decision-making by various stakeholders, with different objectives: evaluating different risk reduction planning alternatives; link meteorological forecasts with loss estimation in impact-based forecasting; analyze post-disaster reconstruction alternatives in order to “build-back-better”, and increase the resilience. From the perspective of a continuously changing world, driving forces such as climate change, socio-economic development, population growth, and land-use change will put pressure on society, and require that risk is analyzed for future scenarios in order to plan wisely."@en .
