Abstract:
English The idea of disaster is usually associated with human suffering from natural events. However, human-made disasters caused by deliberate actions represent an equally important dimension of disaster. This paper analyzes Iraq as a human-created disaster, and suggests that social work play a role in responding to policies that produce disaster.

Abstract:
BackgroundThere are few prospective studies on risk factors for health problems after disasters in which actual pre-disaster health data are available.AimsTo examine whether survivors' personal characteristics, and pre-disaster psychological problems, and disaster-related variables, are related to their post-disaster health.MethodTwo studies were combined: a longitudinal survey using the electronic medical records of survivors' general practitioners (GPs), from 1 year before to 1 year after the disaster, and a survey in which questionnaires were filled in by survivors, 3 weeks and 18 months after the disaster. Data from both surveys and the electronic medical records were available for 994 survivors.ResultsAfter adjustment for demographic and disaster-related variables, pre-existing psychological problems were significantly associated with post-disaster self-reported health problems and post-disaster problems presented to the GP. This association was found for both psychological and physical post-disaster problems.ConclusionsIn trying to prevent long-term health consequences after disaster, early attention to survivors with pre-existing psychological problems, and to those survivors who are forced to relocate or are exposed to many stressors during the disaster, appears appropriate.

Abstract:
Introduction:Despite a longstanding focus on examining acute health impacts in disaster research, only limited systematic information is available today to further our understanding of chronic physical health risks of disaster exposure. Heterogeneity of studies and disaster events of varying type and scale compounding this challenge highlight the merit of a consistent approach to examining nationally representative population data to understand distinctive profiles of chronic disaster health risks.Aim:This epidemiological study examined the full spectrum and national profile of chronic physical health risks associated with natural and man-made disaster exposure in Australia.Methods:Nationally-representative population survey data (N=8841) were analyzed through multivariate logistic regression, controlling for sociodemographic variables, exposure to natural and man-made disasters, and other traumatic events. Key outcomes included lifetime national chronic health priority conditions (asthma, cancer, stroke, rheumatism/arthritis, diabetes, heart/circulatory) and other conditions of 6 month or more duration (based on the World Health Organization’s WMH-CIDI chronic conditions module).Results:Natural disaster exposure primarily increased the lifetime risk of stroke (AOR 2.06, 95%CI 1.54-2.74). Man-made disaster exposure increased the lifetime risk of stomach ulcer (AOR 2.21, 95%CI 1.14-4.31), migraine (AOR 1.61, 95%CI 1.02-2.56), and heart/circulatory conditions (AOR 2.01, 95%CI 1.07-3.75). Multiple man-made disaster exposure heightened the risk of migraine (AOR 2.98, 95%CI 1.28-6.92) and chronic back or neck conditions (AOR 1.63, 95%CI 1.02-2.62), while multiple natural disaster exposure heightened the risk of stroke (AOR 3.28, 95%CI 1.90-5.67). No other chronic health risks were elevated. Despite the relatively greater chronic health risks linked to man-made disasters, natural disasters were associated overall with more cases of chronic health conditions.Discussion:The analysis of nationally-representative population data provides a consistent method to examine the unique national imprint of disaster exposure and distinct profile of disaster health risks to inform future detection, prevention measures, disaster health preparedness, and response planning.

Abstract:
In this research, two studies were conducted in order to examine the psychological, social, somatic and educational effects of chronic traumatic experience on Palestinian children over the six years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada (2000-2006). Firstly, a quantitative study was conducted which aimed to explore the long-term effects of war and occupation on the Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. The sample consisted of 1,137 children aged between ten and 18 years randomly selected from all parts of the Gaza Strip to participate in the study. The participants completed a Checklist of Traumatic Experiences (CTE), a Symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale (SPTSDS), a Network of Psycho-Social Support (NPSS) and a Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ). This study found that every child in Palestine is likely to have been exposed to at least three traumatic events. Importantly, this study also found that 41% of the participants suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD). This indicates that there are potentially more than 300,000 children in the Gaza Strip in need of psychological, social,and medical services in the areas of rehabilitation and therapeutic treatment. The study revealed that the support of family, friends, relatives, teachers, and spiritual leaders can be of great help. In addition to this, positive traits of personality can reduce the effects of PTSD. Secondly, a qualitative study aimed to explore, in more depth, the moderating factors relating to Palestinian children who have been exposed to chronic traumatic experiences, particularly the children who show low levels of PTSD. The sample consisted of six children interviewed in Arabic by using a semi-structured interview. They were aged between 13-18 years. The participants were selected according to the amount of traumatic events and level of PTSD experienced by the children who took part in the first study. This study found that the moderating factors and levels of influence which protected them from developing PTSD are positive personality traits and ideological commitment, psychosocial support, entertainment and adaptation or acclimatization. This research concluded that having a normal childhood in Palestine is unlikely in the current circumstances and the future psychological well-being of Palestinian children is at risk of being compromised by on-going traumatic experiences.

Abstract:
Critical infrastructure systems are essential for the continuous functionality of modern global societies. Some examples of these systems include electric energy, potable water, oil and gas, telecommunications, and the internet. Different topologies underline the structure of these networked systems. Each topology (i.e., physical layout) conditions the way in which networks transmit and distribute their flow. Also, their ability to absorb unforeseen natural or intentional disruptions depends on complex relations between network topology and optimal flow patterns. Most of the current research on large networks is focused on understanding their properties using statistical physics, or on developing advanced models to capture network dynamics. Despite these important research efforts, almost all studies concentrate on specific networks. This network-specific approach rules out a fundamental phenomenon that may jeopardize the performance predictions of current sophisticated models: network response is in general interdependent, and its performance is conditioned on the performance of additional interacting networks. Although there are recent conceptual advances in network interdependencies, current studies address the problem from a high-level point of view. For instance, they discuss the problem at the macro-level of interacting industries, or utilize economic input-output models to capture entire infrastructure interactions. This study approaches the problem of network interdependence from a more fundamental level. It focuses on network topology, flow patterns within the networks, and optimal interdependent system performance. This approach also allows for probabilistic response characterization of interdependent networked systems when subjected to disturbances of internal nature (e.g., aging, malfunctioning) or disruptions of external nature (e.g., coordinated attacks, seismic hazards). The methods proposed in this study can identify the role that each network element has in maintaining interdependent network connectivity and optimal flow. This information is used in the selection of effective pre-disaster mitigation and post-disaster recovery actions. Results of this research also provide guides for growth of interacting infrastructure networks and reveal new areas for research on interdependent dynamics. Finally, the algorithmic structure of the proposed methods suggests straightforward implementation of interdependent analysis in advanced computer software applications for multi-hazard loss estimation.

Full text
Abstract:
After natural/man-made disasters, a major challenge faced by governments is to ensure a speedy recovery of roads and transportation networks. In order to achieve this, a new road recovery priority (RRP) model has been developed to identify key issues and their inter-relationships giving a better understanding of factors that govern prioritisation across the affected regions. Interviews are conducted with experts in road reconstruction and maintenance organisations to investigate respondents’ evaluation and understanding of the RRP model in terms of its ease of use, usefulness, comprehensiveness, applicability, feasibility and structure. A questionnaire survey is conducted to investigate the impact of the important proposed affecting factors that can be critical for successful implementation and application of the RRP model in the road rehabilitation sector. A field survey is carried out to collect data which are essential to determine parameters in the model’s application. Four case studies are carried out to investigate the RRP model’s application in a variety of road conditions. The application of this model may solve the problem of decision making in road recovery priority determination in a hierarchical manner so that the recovery process can be accomplished from an urgent repair need to a lower recovery priority.

碩士<br>國立臺中教育大學<br>環境教育研究所<br>96<br>The motivation of this research is to understand the man-made disaster prevention literacy of the fifth grade students nationwide through questionnaires. The main purposes of this research are: (1) To understand the state of play of the fifth grade students’ disaster prevention literacy and its relationship. (2) To treat the correlation of disaster prevention knowledge, attitude, and skills, which are the three dimensions of disaster prevention literacy. (3) To advance treat the factors to affect disaster prevention knowledge, attitude, and skills. The research was based on a stratified random sampling manner, and dividing the elementary schools nationwide by four regions--North, Middle, South, and East. The researcher selected 87 out of 2,587 elementary schools, and recalled 1,376 copies of valid questionnaires. It turned out the valid recall rate was 64.7%. Utilizing the descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and multiple-regression to process statistical analysis, and the results were as follows: 1. The man-made disaster prevention literacy of fifth grade students’ performances nationwide was good and positive. 2. The background of each student with different variation had its affect toward disaster prevention knowledge, attitude, and skills. (1) The female students’ performances were better than male students. (2) The students who usually read disaster prevention books had better disaster prevention skills than the students who did not. 3. The relation among disaster prevention knowledge, attitude, and skills of fifth grade students nationwide was positive. 4. According to multiple-regression, the man-made disaster prevention attitude R2 = 0.264, and disaster prevention knowledge and skills had the greatest influence. To sum up the abovementioned results, the researcher suggests that environmental toxicity related curriculum can be added; in the future teaching, teachers can also be arranged to increase the experience of disaster prevention skills.

Abstract:
碩士<br>南華大學<br>環境管理研究所<br>97<br>In recent years, the food-related questions have gradually replaced oil shock and environment crisis as the most popular agenda. On the one hand, growing food price cause protest on the street with the attention of food safety on food supply for all governments; On the other hand, food problem has also become special chip of international negotiations. Global climatic change is agreed as the major reason affecting food production. Hungry, however, is not the only bitterness from nature and man-made disasters. The food shortage is likely to cause more negative effects, such as social conflict, economic inflation, fluctuation of market price, and so on. The circulation will not be a quick end. 　 　　The process of food production demonstrates a time gap between planned production and practical production. Global climate change-induced global warming, drought, and floods further suffer the food supply and delay fulfilling the gap of food shortage. Providing sufficient food and solving hunger and food supply had been the basic surviving problems to be faced from the old era. Sufficient food supply system is the most important agenda for the international society. Causes of food crisis include: 1.natural disasters that reduce food production; 2.man-made disasters such as rising unemployment rate, decreases in the amount of international trade, price of commodity, and labor productivity will reduce food production; 3.fallow or rotation to crops with high economic value; 4.development of bio-energy that will compete with food supply. 　 　　This research surveys questions of global food supply and focuses on corn production in the U.S. as example. Natural disaster, man-made disaster, fallow, bio-fuel, and corn price are the selected variables to regress on dependent variables of corn cultivation, harvest, production, and stock. The possible impacts on food supply are inspected to provide deeper deliberation on balance of resource and environment. Results show that causes for the problem of food supply are: 1.bio-energy- affects corn cultivation, harvest, production, and stock; 2.fallow to tobacco-affects corn cultivation, harvest, production, and stock; 3.corn price- did not significantly affect food supply because of a relatively stable time trend. The stable corn price is due to national protection policy and international trade system. 　 　　The development of bio-energy in the U.S. seems only to take advantage of corn production rather than market mechanism and production process. The resulting side effects (eg., competition between human and vehicle of energy, imbalance of food supply and distribution, green-house gas emission during production process) are significant enough to draw international concerns from environmental protection groups. Problem of food crisis is only part of agriculture-industrialization and it takes further steps to liberate abnormal climate change by reducing the dependence on fossil fuel. At the same time, agricultural production in all countries has to adopt organic production rather than chemical fertilizer and pesticide until release of global food supply is observed.

碩士<br>立德大學<br>地區發展管理研究所<br>96<br>With the development in economical industry and the change in social structure in Taiwan, Urban Man-Made Disasters derived from variety activities and serried advances in city is day by day serious. How to hold on the relationship between disaster occurrence and Land Mixed-Use and use land planning to prevent Urban Man-Made Disasters, should be the important study of metropolis plan. The Executive Yuan establish Sustainable Development Committee under the development guiding principle of the promotion country continues forever by National Land Development Committee. One of many works of National Land Resources motion plan is to promote Compact city. Land Mixed-Use is one of the most important tactic of Compact city planning. Variety and complementary land use will let metropolis plan more dynamic, so hold on the influence factors and spatial distribution conditions of mixed-use is very important. Different to planned mixed-use in overseas,the produces reasons of Land Mixed-Use conditions in domestic have more market mechanism influences in it. Now Taiwan already had the development special characteristic of Compact city. Lives and business mixed of metropolis land use shape can be seen in everywhere. But on standards and ideals in the countries like America, England and so on, the Compact cities have already formed, it is only deficient in properly plan and design, and then creates overall environment quality in cities to be all low. Already existed Land Mixed-Use also create many exterior questions, such like bad conditions of takes measures against disasters make serious metropolis disasters. For these reasons the study on the relationship between Land Mixed-Use and Urban Man-Made Disasters is most important. The study uses some methods, such as GIS, Landscape Structure Index, and Pearson Correlation Analysis, and then uses the variable material of Land Mixed-Use degree and Urban Man-Made Disasters in Tainan City to discuss the relationship between Land Mixed-Use and Urban Man-Made Disasters. Wish to use the data as the references of future space plan and land manager which can take measures against disasters.

Abstract:
The ADMITS project aims to develop algorithms, protocols and architectures to enable a distributed computing environment to provide support for monitoring, failure detection, and analytics in IoT disaster scenarios. We face a context where, every year, millions of people are affected by natural and man-made disasters, whereby governments all around the world spend huge amounts of resources on preparation, immediate response, and reconstruction. Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been extensively used for efficiently managing disaster scenarios, such as volcanic disasters, floods, forest fire, land- slides, earthquakes, urban disasters, industrial and terrorists attacks, and so on. However, in a disaster scenario the communication/processing infrastructure and the devices themselves may fail, producing either temporary or permanent network partitions and loss of information. Moreover, it is expected that in the years to come, IoT will generate large amounts of data, making processing and analysis challenging in time-critical applications. Considering such challenges, ADMITS targets the development of a architecture in which IoT, Fog, and Cloud computing technologies participate to provide required capabilities for IoT data analytics, real-time stream processing, and failure monitoring for environments potentially subject to disasters. In this positional paper, we discuss the motivation, objectives, architecture, research challenges (and how to overcome them) and initial efforts for the ADMITS project.

Abstract:
Disasters, whether man-made or natural, destroy buildings, structures, lives and natural surroundings. As an example, Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida with winds up to 140 miles per hour leaving more than 250,000 people homeless and severely damaging at least 85,000 buildings, in addition to traffic signals and other roadway devices. Traveling was hazardous with debris in the roadway, power lines down, traffic signals damaged or not working, and road signs missing. With so many traffic signals not working, normal traffic flow was disrupted and roadways became congested. The importance of maintaining traffic flow in a disaster was evident for effective movement of emergency vehicles and to support recovery efforts. The same effect is realized, but to a smaller degree, during brown-outs, severe storms, accidents and other power outages for whatever the cause. During power outages caused by disasters or other events, there are many traffic signals that are still functional, but not operational due to loss of electrical power. Recent advances in power electronics, lighting and alternative energy sources provide a means of making these functional traffic signals operational during power outages. Updating signal heads with new light emitting diode (LED) lamps will lower the energy consumption by 60 to 80 percent of that of existing incandescent lights. With lower power requirements, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, become capable of providing the needed electric power. Redesigning traffic signals to incorporate new low-energy technologies make renewables a more viable source of power. This paper addresses these issues with respect to energy consumption and describes a new design that uses renewables to power these new lighting technologies.

Abstract:
The safety of NPPs has to be maintained in any condition which has to be considered. Rational criteria are especially needed for adequate classification of external hazards. Characteristics of external hazards, e.g. Tsunami, Earthquake, Land slide etc, are changed by features of the site. It is necessary to make a rational and clear process of classification to appropriate method of risk assessment. This study treated of various external hazards included natural phenomena and man-made events. Much disaster information was gathered from historical documents these one thousand and five hundred years (1). Published standards of US and IAEA were referred. This study provided some viewpoints for classification, e.g. hazard frequency, range of impact, basic design, and difficulty of accident management etc. The classification included several paths; a full-scope PRA, a hazard analysis, or a comparison between an impact of the hazard and the design condition against it.
