Book Synopsis Contribution de la méthodologie et de la technologie décisionnelle pour l'aide à l'évaluation des risques naturels dans le secteur de l'assurance en France by : Julien Iris
Download or read book Contribution de la méthodologie et de la technologie décisionnelle pour l'aide à l'évaluation des risques naturels dans le secteur de l'assurance en France written by Julien Iris and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objet de la thèse est d''évaluer l'approche géodécisionnelle pour l'analyse des risques naturels dans le secteur de l'assurance en France. Pour une société d'assurance souhaitant améliorer sa visibilité sur les risques naturels l'objectif est double ; d'une part s'assurer de la meilleure qualité possible de la politique de prévention mise en œuvre par les pouvoirs publics, d'autre part s'assurer de sa solidité financière pour faire face à des catastrophes naturelles pouvant survenir sur ses portefeuilles d'assurés. Les sociétés d'assurance françaises disposent d'une offre d'outils et de services ne répondant que partiellement à ces besoins tant au niveau de la prévention qu'au niveau de l'optimisation de ses processus métiers (en particulier la souscription, la gestion de sinistres et la réassurance). Les raisons de ce constat réside d'une part dans le contexte réglementaire du régime d'indemnisation des catastrophes naturelles reposant exclusivement sur un principe de solidarité (n'ayant pas suffisamment incité les assureurs à évaluer l'exposition physique des assurés aux risques naturels) et d'autre part dans la forte hétérogénéité des données géographiques et non géographiques rendant complexe l'appropriation de la problématique et l'exploitation des outils par les professionnels du secteur. La thèse propose une approche dite « géodécisionnelle » englobant une méthodologie de modélisation de données (modélisation spatiale multidimensionnelle) mais aussi un ensemble de composants technologiques informatiques (moteurs d’extraction, de transformation, de chargement de données et outils de restitution et d’analyse) pour explorer les indicateurs agrégés et détaillés selon plusieurs critères et dont les valeurs sont issues de croisements de données géographiques et non géographiques. L'idée est d'appliquer cette approche sur un ensemble cohérent d'indicateurs pour analyser la vulnérabilité des assurés sous l'angle « collectif » pour l'intérêt général de la profession et sous l'angle « individuel » vu d’une société d'assurance en particulier. A partir d'un certain nombre d'hypothèses formulées, les modèles proposés exploitent des données sur les aléas naturels comme les modélisations de crues pour les inondations, des données sur le zonage du risque dans les plans d'urbanisme (au travers des « Plans de Prévention des Risques) mais aussi des données cadastrales et des données statistiques ainsi que des données assurantielles types d'une société d’assurance. La thèse présentera l'état de l'art de la problématique et proposera une démarche de modélisation ainsi qu'une démarche d'implémentation de prototypes exploratoires sur des cas d'étude concrets tirés des activités de recherches contractuelles existantes autours de cette thématique. La technologie choisie pour les expérimentions est Spatial OLAP conçue et développée au Centre de Recherche en Géomatique à l'Université Laval de Québec
Book Synopsis Risks and the Anthropocene by : Julien Rebotier
Download or read book Risks and the Anthropocene written by Julien Rebotier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthropocene refers to all societies’ current era of environmental challenges. For the social sciences, the Anthropocene represents a historical “moment” with huge potential: it offers people new ways of considering the human condition, as well as how they interact with the rest of the living world and with the planet on all levels. At the turn of the 21st century, the idea of the Anthropocene burst onto the older, diverse and varied scene of risk studies. This “new geological era”, which is entirely created by humanity, went on to revive our understanding of environmental issues, as well as the analysis of the social and political problems that constitute risk situations. Drawing together contributions from specialists in social sciences concerning risks and the environment, Risks and the Anthropocene explores the advantages that the idea of the Anthropocene can offer in understanding risks and their management, as well as the limitations it presents.
Book Synopsis Farming Communities in the Western Alps, 1500–1914 by : Robert Dodgshon
Download or read book Farming Communities in the Western Alps, 1500–1914 written by Robert Dodgshon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explores traditional farming communities in French-speaking areas of the western Alps for the period 1500-1914 and how they endured in such an environment despite the many problems and risks which it posed for their subsistence and welfare. Using an extensive amount of archival material drawn from the relevant regional archives, the book presents a great deal of fresh data. Its central theme is how such communities responded to the opportunities and challenges presented by the highly variegated environment of their setting. The view taken is that their strategies of exploitation stressed diversity and flexibility, mapping the highly varied ecologies and resource opportunities of their setting into these strategies by spreading livelihood and risk as widely as possible. This interpretative framework is developed across all the book's themes: landholding, arable and livestock sectors, use of the commons and, finally, how communities coped with climate-based risks. The book appeals to geographers, historians, environmental scientists and everyone interested in traditional farming communities and their long-term challenges.

Download or read book Floods written by Freddy Vinet and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of flood risk seems to be facing a daunting paradox. Despite increasingly effective risk knowledge tools and the efforts of international institutions to place risk reduction at the top of the agenda, the cost of disasters continues to increase. It is also increasingly difficult to avoid the urbanization or development of potential flood zones. The fundamental issue involves determining the conditions necessary for efficient prevention by focusing on adaptability to risk, which implies coping with the risk of flooding rather than directly fighting against it or simply ignoring it. This second volume of the Floods series of books explores existing policies and tools which mitigate the impact of flooding: the construction of protective structures, the reduction of vulnerability, land use planning, the improvement of crisis management, etc. The closing chapters focus on the question of adaptation through post-flood reconstruction, integrating disaster risk reduction measures, e.g. through resilient urbanism. - Presents the state-of-the-art surrounding flood issues, from the description of the phenomena, to the management of risk (dikes, dams, reducing vulnerability and management of crisis) - Written by specialists, but accessible to mainstream scientists - Exposes knowledge, methodologies, scientific locks and the prospects of each discipline on the theme of floods

Book Synopsis Vulnerability, Territory, Population by : Samuel Rufat
Download or read book Vulnerability, Territory, Population written by Samuel Rufat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Covid-19 pandemic, the term "vulnerable" was applied to "individuals" and to "populations", "groups" and "countries" in discussions, laws and regulations; now it applies to all objects in relation to all kinds of threats. However, rather than a label for governing people and places, the notion of "vulnerability" was expected to become an instrument to tackle the root causes of disasters, poverty and maldevelopment, as well as the inequalities and injustices they bring, whether social, political, economic or environmental. Despite this radical dimension, vulnerability has gradually been incorporated into public policies and international recommendations for global risk and disaster management. This book is intended for researchers, students, managers and decision makers concerned with the management of not only risks and crises but also climate and environmental change. The first part examines the multiple theoretical and conceptual approaches; the second explores vulnerability assessments, using examples from the Global North and Global South; and the third discusses tools, public policies and actions taken to reduce vulnerability.

Book Synopsis Environmental Hazards and Resilience by : Dennis J. Parker
Download or read book Environmental Hazards and Resilience written by Dennis J. Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building resilience to the world’s increasingly damaging environmental hazards has become a priority. This book considers the scientific advances which have been made around the world to enhance this resilience. Although resilience is not new, it is through the idea of resilience that governments, organisations, and communities around the world are now seeking to address the rapidly increasing losses that environmental hazards cause so that fewer lives are lost, and damage is reduced. Alternative ideas and approaches have been helpful in reducing loss, but resilience offers a fresh and potentially effective means of reducing it further. Adopting a scientific approach and scientific evidence is important in applying the resilience idea in hazard mitigation. However, the science of resilience is at an immature stage of development with much discussion about the concept and how it should be understood and interpreted. Building useful theories remains a challenge although some of the building blocks of theory have been developed. More attention has been given to developing indicators and frameworks of resilience which are subsequently applied to measure resilience to hazards such as flooding, earthquake, and climate change. Environmental Hazards and Resilience: Theory and Evidence considers the scientific and theoretical challenges of making progress in applying resilience to environmental hazard mitigation and provides examples from around the world – including the USA, New Zealand, China, Bangladesh and elsewhere. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Environmental Hazards.
