Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

90
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Community Based Intervention

87
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

216
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

137
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Respiratory Capacities01:24

Respiratory Capacities

874
Respiratory capacities are crucial indicators of lung function, representing the maximum amount of air an individual's respiratory system can handle during various breathing phases.
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental science and urban planning
  • Disaster risk reduction
  • Sociotechnical systems analysis

Background:

  • Community resilience is a policy and practice goal, driving climate-related hazard assessments in urban planning.
  • Existing resilience evaluation methods include social science-based community attributes and engineering-focused infrastructure approaches.
  • A gap exists in integrating social and infrastructure dimensions for comprehensive resilience assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing community and infrastructure resilience evaluation approaches.
  • To propose a hybrid metric, ARez (Area Resilience), integrating both community and infrastructure capitals.
  • To demonstrate the practicality and applicability of ARez as a direct measure of resilience.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of two primary resilience evaluation approaches: community resilience (social science) and infrastructure resilience (engineering).
  • Development of a hybrid metric, ARez, by combining community and infrastructure capitals.
  • Integration of five key sectors into ARez: energy, public health, natural ecosystem, socio-economic, and transportation.

Main Results:

  • The proposed ARez metric offers a novel approach to quantifying community resilience.
  • Proof-of-concept demonstrates ARez's practicality and applicability across various time scales.
  • The metric effectively captures the combined impact of community and infrastructure on resilience.

Conclusions:

  • The ARez metric provides a unified framework for assessing area resilience by integrating social and infrastructural factors.
  • This hybrid approach enhances the ability to identify non-resilient areas and guide targeted interventions.
  • Rez is a valuable tool for decision-making in resilience planning and design for communities facing climate-related hazards.
