  1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Kimon Letzner; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

    Sammanfattning : Social factors moderate the impacts of natural hazards, which means that households are affected differently when exposed to the same hazard. This differential impact of hazards can be explained by the concept of social vulnerability, which is commonly assessed to inform disaster preparedness and response action. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mapping of Process Hazard Analyses in Swedish Process Industries and How the Work Can Be Improved

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

    Nyckelord :Risk management; Qualitative risk assessment; PHA; Process safety; Seveso directive; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed.

    Sammanfattning : Klimatförändringarna och den globala uppvärmningen är ett faktum som kan leda till kraftigare nederbördstillfällen samt öka risken för bland annat översvämningar. Översvämningsrelaterade katastrofer har under de senaste 20 åren ökat och översvämningsrelaterade händelser står för 44 procent av världens naturkatastrofer. LÄS MER
