| dc.description.abstract | From all that the scientific community knows today, one important subject in transformative planning is the adaptation of housing to natural hazards and the expected consequences triggered by climate change. These planning practices regard complex issues of climate change, natural resource management, sustainability and environmental justice. Natural hazards, including climatological, meteorological, hydrological and geophysical hazards can have a devastating impact on human life and the built environment. Whether loss or damage arises and a natural hazard turns into a disaster is determined by the vulnerability of a region depending on the socio-economic framework conditions as well as the coping and adaptive capacity of an affected society. People in developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of natural hazards for multiple reasons, such as a shortage of money & other resources, a lack of planning rules & regulations and not accounting for natural & climate change impacts in the design or planning process. Additionally, developing countries often lack information and knowledge on what can be done to adapt housing. This situation is likely to become more acute since some of these hazards are expected to be amplified due to the anticipated effects of climate change. According to Jha et al., housing is defined as the immediate physical environment, both within and outside of buildings, in which families and households live, and which serve as shelter. This built environment is the setting for the most fundamental of human relationships. It presents a social and cultural space in opposition to the natural environment and poses a fundamental element in global poverty reduction. | |
