There is a limited understanding regarding the conceptualization and quantification of the adaptation planning concept from a community perspective. This study fills the gap by proposing an adaptation planning index for flood-prone urban communities. Three urban communities in Islamabad, Pakistan, were selected for this study. A sample of 600 households was collected using structured questionnaires. Perceived adaptation planning was measured from two perspectives. The Dimension-based Adaptation Planning Index (D-API) was used to measure perceptions regarding behavioral, structural, and ecological adaptation planning dimensions, while the Component-based Adaptation Planning Index (C-API) evaluated awareness, willingness, and self-efficacy. The indexes were developed based on context-specific socioeconomic and adaptation planning indicators relevant to the urban flood risk landscape in Islamabad, Pakistan. Correlation analysis revealed a strong correlation among the adaptation dimensions and a moderate correlation among adaptation components. Multiple regression analysis identified socioeconomic factors that affect adaptation planning. The results indicate that the communities possess greater knowledge of and trust in ecological adaptation planning measures. High mean values were observed for willingness and self-efficacy. Education level and previous flood experience positively influenced adaptation planning, while age, household size, number of elderly members, and sources of income had a negative influence. The proposed index can assist development practitioners, planners, policymakers, and disaster managers in validating their current and proposed flood adaptation strategies. The index can be customized according to local conditions and hazard type for effective risk reduction and adaptation planning for urban areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105762"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144841885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compounding this acute event is a decades long water crisis, often attributed to government neglect and mismanagement of water services. The chronic technological disaster (water crisis) worsened by a significant acute hazard event (the 2022 flood) in a place that regularly experiences flooding (persistent acute hazard events) provides a context amenable to investigate the nuances of the concept of recreancy—loosely understood as perceptions of the failure of an institution(s) to fulfill the obligations entrusted to them by the public. We ask: Do residents in Jackson <em>expect</em> governmental failure during environmental crises? A survey of 511 residents measured attitudes toward local government in the context of four dimensions of recreancy—responsibility, effectiveness, confidence, and trust. These dimensions were analyzed to understand how perceptions of local government affect resident confidence that water quality would improve in the future. Analysis finds two facets of recreancy, trust and confidence, held strong associative relationships with confidence that water quality will improve in the future. These findings suggest that, despite historical mismanagement of water services, residents are divided in their optimism about future water quality. This study contributes to emerging literatures focused on compound disasters and provides a nuanced understanding of public valuation of institutions charged with safeguarding public safety and health during crises. This study also continues the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological study of the role of institutions in hazard risk production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105756"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students also reported favorable views on collaboration and personal development, though opinions varied across participants. Challenges included difficulties with other fields' foundational knowledge, terminology, and acronyms. Technical problems, particularly with online communication tools, were also noted as obstacles to collaborating with partners from other universities. Student recommendations to alleviate these challenges included breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more digestible components and incorporating peer-to-peer learning and real-world problem-solving activities. In summary, this study underscores how interdisciplinary education can broaden students' perspectives and prepare them to address complex issues in natural hazard resilience.

Climate risk assessments are of undoubtful importance to investigate and comprehend the nature of climate-related risks, and can ideally support adaptation planning through the identification of risk hotspots. In this study, a replicable method for assessing population risk to be negatively affected by heat stress and (river and coastal) flooding is proposed, providing a tool to support risk-based adaptive planning. Through a novel multi-hazard and multi-metric perspective and a comparative approach to reveal how they perform in terms of climate justice, the method is applied in three major cities: London, UK; Boston, US; Sydney, Australia. Results show the intra-city risk spatial variability, together with the factors that, with different magnitudes, contribute to the final risk condition. Boston has the highest proportion of population living in the most at-risk areas for heat stress. The same applies to London concerning flood risk. Sydney has the lowest shares for both. Boston and London also show greater problems of uneven distribution of risk, with the low-income residents more likely living in the riskiest areas, especially regarding heat stress. While replicability in other contexts depends on data availability, the method and its metrics are flexible to be adjusted according to different typologies of input data. The use of assessments of this type may in principle support decisions that prioritize interventions in areas where more disadvantaged people live, thus theoretically alleviating intra-city inequalities. However, proper planning and monitoring are needed to avoid reverse effects, such as gentrification processes that could lead to exacerbating existing or creating new injustices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105747"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local sea level rise scenarios are combined with tide predictions to determine impacts on building exposure, electric power outages, and increases in travel times. Reinforcement learning is then used to train heterogeneous agents – each representing one household – how to respond to these impacts based on reward functions. The agents perceive (1) the immediate sea level rise impacts at their building and in their neighborhood, (2) the current properties of the building they occupy, and (3) the costs to implement an adaptive action. At each time step, agents can take one of four actions: do nothing, leave, elevate, or install an electric generator. Trained agents are then passed to an agent-based model to simulate household adaptation to sea level rise at the community level. This model can be used to simulate future status quo conditions and various adaptation policies, such as incentive programs that reduce costs to elevate. The model is applied to a coastal testbed community under an intermediate sea level rise scenario for 2025 to 2100. With no policies in place to influence agent behavior, approximately 30 % of the agents in the model take some sort of action by 2100. To validate the model, it is shown that the status quo results are comparable to other agent-based models of household response to future coastal hazards and that the model replicates stylized facts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105742"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144826556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a survey distributed across four major U.S. cities—Houston, New York City, Washington D.C., and Miami—the research poses hypothetical hurricanes to explore how demographics, socio-economic features, work characteristics, and access to alternative power source(s) influence individual preferences for restoration to recover disrupted activities and services. Through the application of rank-ordered logit models, including latent class and recursive partitioning techniques, the study identifies distinct preference patterns across various groups. The latent class rank-ordered logit model reveals three distinct groups with varied recovery priorities. For instance, younger residents with flexible work options and access to alternative power sources prioritize employment and banking services for their community, while older working-age residents without children at home focus on food and health services. These insights highlight the importance of recognizing such heterogeneity in restoration and recovery planning. On the other hand, the recursive partitioning approach effectively captures broad trends, such as prioritization of essential services like health and food, but shows limitations in revealing more detailed preference differences. The study advocates for a more tailored approach to disaster restoration and recovery that not only prioritizes technical and infrastructural restoration but also aligns with the specific needs and preferences of the affected populations. By aligning recovery efforts more closely with resident preferences, policymakers and emergency managers can enhance the efficacy and perception of post-disaster recovery efforts, ultimately leading to more resilient urban communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105741"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144772787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
