Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question des risques naturels (inondations, mouvements de masse, séismes) est souvent envisagée sous l'angle des aléas. Cet ouvrage, regroupant les contributions de spécialistes, insiste plus particulièrement sur les rapports existant entre les risques et l'aménagement des territoires. La réflexion concerne plusieurs pays européens et présente les comparaisons dans les modes de prévention, d'évaluation, de gestion des risques naturels en France, en Angleterre, en Suisse, en Autriche, en Italie, en Espagne, au Portugal, en Grèce, en Roumanie et en Hongrie. Les comparaisons européennes portent sur les textes de lois qui fondent la prise en compte du risque dans l'aménagement, sur les niveaux de décision et les organismes qui mettent en oeuvre les politiques de gestion des risques et sur les types de cartes utilisées pour connaître ou gérer le risque. Cet ouvrage, destiné aux spécialistes des risques, chercheurs et praticiens de l'aménagement, ouvre la voie à des études comparatives plus approfondies. Il constitue une introduction indispensable à une meilleure harmonisation de la gestion des risques à l'échelle européenne.
Book Synopsis Restoring Floodplains in Europe by : Timothy Moss
Download or read book Restoring Floodplains in Europe written by Timothy Moss and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the complex institutional dimensions to restoring floodplains. Despite the recent surge of interest in restoring floodplains among policy and research circles, as well as in the public domain, very few schemes for restoring functional floodplains have been put into practice in Europe to date. The book explores the reasons behind this discrepancy between interest and applications with an original, comparative analysis of the institutional drivers and constraints of floodplain restoration in Europe. It explains why so few projects have been successfully implemented, how recent policy shifts are creating new opportunities for floodplain restoration and what lessons for policy development and project management can be drawn from in-depth analysis of past and present schemes. At a time of rapidly growing interest in restoring floodplains as an important component of efforts to improve flood protection, enhance riparian habitats, strengthen catchment management, raise water quality and pursue integrated rural development, the book critically appraises the relationship between macro-level policy development and enforcement and micro-level project design and implementation. The book begins with two chapters setting out the case for floodplain restoration and assessing the relevant drivers and constraints of EU policy. The next three chapters analyse the policy contexts of floodplain restoration in France, Germany and Britain, addressing the principal drivers and constraints in the fields of water management, flood protection, nature conservation, spatial planning and agriculture. This is followed by six case studies of schemes to restore floodplains, divided between early schemes of the mid-1990s (Rheinvorland-Sud on the Upper Rhine, Bourret on the Garonne and the Long Eau project in England) and ongoing schemes of today (Lenzen on the Elbe, La Basse on the Seine and the Parrett Catchment Project). The book concludes by drawing lessons from the principal findings and providing recommendations for ways of developing policy and designing projects for restoring floodplains in the future.
Book Synopsis Project Risks by : Geneviève Zembri-Mary
Download or read book Project Risks written by Geneviève Zembri-Mary and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those tasked with the planning and construction of infrastructure and development operations face an increasingly uncertain context in which they must address risks across a number of different fields. These range from the environmental and archaeological to the social, political and financial. As a consequence, the formal and informal practices of stakeholders often incorporate projections of risk and opportunity. Project Risks analyzes this paradigm shift. It reviews the origin and nature of these uncertainties, and the practices implemented by the actors to mitigate or take advantage of them. Paradoxically, these practices generate new risks and power relations that are not compatible with the collaborative planning model. These paradoxes force the rethinking of practices such as project territorialization, risk taking in planning and the responsibility of actors, as well as the societal and political choices that must be made between the realization of projects and the protection of the environment.
Book Synopsis Mountain Risks: From Prediction to Management and Governance by : Theo Van Asch
Download or read book Mountain Risks: From Prediction to Management and Governance written by Theo Van Asch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a cross disciplinary treatment of the rapidly growing field of integrated approaches in risk assessment in mountainous areas. All major aspects related to hazard and risk assessment, risk management, and governance are illustrated with a wide range of case studies. The first part of the book focuses on new techniques for assessing the natural hazards of different types of mass movements. State-of-the-art techniques for morphological characterization and monitoring of displacements are described. Computational advances are covered to explain the process systems and to quantify the hazards of fast and slow-moving landslides. In the second part of the book methodologies are included for assessing the impact of these natural hazards on the society in terms of risks. In this part, methodologies for defining the vulnerability of the elements at risk are shown and the use of run-out models for risk assessment of the dangerous rapid mass movements are evaluated. The third part of the book focuses on the response of society towards the problems of hazard and risk. It highlights the role of spatial planning, early warning systems and evacuation plans for risk management. It establishes practical thresholds for acceptable and tolerable risks and emphasizes the importance of education and communication to society. Audience The book is of interest to a wide range of experts from related disciplines, practitioners and stakeholders to demonstrate the importance of an integrated approach for all aspects of risks in mountainous areas.

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

Download or read book Geomorphological Hazards of Europe written by C. Embleton and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-04-07 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geomorphological Hazards of Europe contains an excellent balance of authoritative statements on the range and causes of natural hazards in Europe. Written in a clear and unpretentious style, it removes myths and concentrates on the basic facts.The book looks at the known distributions, processes and the underlying principles and focuses on the need for a true understanding of the scientific details so that a real contribution to hazard management can be made.A comprehensive treatment of scientific and management issues of hazards in Europe caused by natural or sometimes human induced earth surface processes are covered including floods, landslides, avalanches, glacier-, coastal-, karstic-, and volcanic hazards, soil erosion and subsidence.Leading researchers in the field of natural hazards and their mitigation have contributed to this nation by nation account covering 20 European countries. The individual chapters deal with the distribution of natural hazards within specific countries (quite often the first synthesis of the information available) and • provide a review of current research in the field• discuss the economic, engineering and policy responses in national hazard management• are complemented by an extensive bibliography.The volume is well illustrated with 207 figures of which 66 are photos and has an extensive general index and a complete index of place names. It is a major European contribution to the International Decade for Natural Disasters Reduction.The book will appeal to practitioners, managers, academicians, researchers, as well as graduate students in geomorphlogy, natural hazards research and environmental management.

Book Synopsis La gestion des risques naturels dans les montagnes d'Europe occidentale by : Anne Peltier
Download or read book La gestion des risques naturels dans les montagnes d'Europe occidentale written by Anne Peltier and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'analyse comparative de la gestion des risques naturels montre qu'il existe depuis deux siècles une convergence des discours et des politiques publiques sur ce sujet : le discours sur le changement climatique a succédé à celui sur le déboisement des montagnes et le zonage réglementaire a remplacé le reboisement et la protection des forêts. Une analyse plus fine révèle cependant des différences importantes dans la répartition des compétences entre les différents acteurs, dans l'importance accordée à l'information préventive et surtout dans la pratique du zonage des risques. L'organisation politique, qui confère aux collectivités locales un rôle plus ou moins important dans l'élaboration du zonage, constitue un facteur d'explication de ces différences. Interviennent également la culture politique ainsi que la philosophie du risque, qui associe les contextes politique, social, économique et culturel actuels et hérités ainsi que les représentations dominantes dans les administrations.

This book was released on 1991-06-14 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "European Yearbook" has expanded over the years in keeping with the role played by European institutions compared with national ones. It is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with these institutions, which have become so numerous and varied that no-one can possibly memorise all their acronyms or functions. The "European Yearbook" provides aids for finding one's way through the labyrinth of these organisations which coordinate a variety of activities in over 20 countries. One of the aids is an 'organisation chart' at the beginning of the documentary section, giving a clear picture of the general situation. A perusal of the many contributions in the volume organisation by organisation, shows the full diversity of the activities which Europe is gradually taking over from national governments, with their consent and financial support. Written in both of the Council of Europe's official languages, English and French, the "European Yearbook" also contains a general index by subject and name which constitutes a very valuable list of articles and provides direct access to the work's subject matter, regardless of the particular organisation concerned, offering a kind of cross-section of the activities of European organisations.
