Socio-environmental impacts of settlement growth under conditions of fostered infill development: A methodological framework for a multicriteria assessment
(2013)
The major objective of this study is to analyze socio-environmental conditions under which a sustainable and resource-preserving settlement development can be promoted and to assess respective impacts of greenfield and ...
Assessing people´s early warning response capability to inform urban planning interventions to reduce vulnerability to tsunamis: case study of Padang City, Indonesia
(2014)
In the last decade, more emphasis is given on the human aspect of early warning or the attribute of “people-centered” early warning systems. This study seeks to better understand the specific conditions that shape people´s ...
Hochwasserrisiko und Immobilienwerte: Zum Einfluss der Lage in überschwemmungs-gefährdeten Gebieten sowie zu den Folgen von Überschwemmungsereignissen auf den Verkehrswert von Wohnimmobilien
(2017)
Aufgrund des fortschreitenden Klimawandels und dem weiteren Anstieg der Flächenversiegelung ist auch in Deutschland mit einer Zunahme extremer Hochwasserereignisse zu rechnen. Ein Anstieg des Hochwasserrisikos stellt ...
