The lecture presented by Dr. Riyanti Djalante focused on urban disaster risk reduction and the global distribution of disaster risk, highlighting significant differences between developed and developing countries. Key topics included the impact of climate change on vulnerability, the historical statistics of disaster occurrences and their consequences, and the essential concepts of hazard, risk, vulnerability, and resilience. Emphasis was placed on integrating disaster risk management with sustainable development and recognizing the role of cities in creating and mitigating these risks.

Lecture 9 URBAN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Time: Thrusday, 8th march 2018
Presenter: Dr. Riyanti Djalante (UNU-IAS)
Facilitator: Syampadzi Nurroh and Yuqing Yang
Resume: Global distribution of disaster risk, it would be begin and compare between
developed countries and developing countries with higher hazard of disaster
and death rate during disaster, other wiseInternational framework can help to
save life. But the problem is that we hardly to predict when/where/how a
disaster will happen. So more and more people are affected by disaster,
especially in urban areas, and Climate change I also make the situation
became more complicated.
When we talk the urban disaster risk reduction, we have to know aspect
regard respect to:
1. Global distribution of disaster risk:
 The risk function for vulnerability
 Climate change can presented by vulnerability index
 Disaster impact – No of disaster during 1950-2016: 14.426 disaster peak
number occurs of disaster 530 disaster; Disaster impact – total deaths:
32.613.261 deaths people during 1950-2012, peak disaster 3700 deaths
in 1928 (particular years) because earthquake event; Disaster impacts
– total affected persons with number 7.925.050.0661 total affected,
2003 in peak 660.000, because climate change could be impulse,
disaster risk, climate change and sustainable development need to
integrated each other to protect and prevent.; Disaster impact-
displacement due to disasters Disaster impact- total economic
damage, the peak time in 2011, the number 380 billions total damage
with total damage 3,115 billion during 1950 until 2016 (0,01% of japan
2015 ODA 16,5 million USD)

2. 2. Key concept: hazard, risk, vulnerability and resilience:
 Hazard: a process human activity that may causes loss of life,
potential
 Risk: interaction social and environmental processes, probability of a
disaster happening, like hood of hazard
 Vulnerability: the conditions DETERMINED BY Physical;, social
economic, environmental (UNISDR, 2004)
 Resilience: the ability of a system preservation and function through
risk management
 Adaptive capacity: to moderate potential damage
3. Cities and disaster risk:
 The global context: cities today only have 2%
 Hazard: a process human activity that may causes loss of life,
potential
4. Current actions and strategies
 Resilience; global platform for sustainable cities; local government for
sustainability;
 Cities are the place for opportunist, but the process of cities and
urbanizations create risks
 The role of cities are interminably recognize and acknowledged in
various
Presented a lot of data that could be thinking twice for us about climate
change and risk disaster what we are heading up a few years from right now.
So that’s clear enough to know regarding sustainable development and
urban disaster risk reduction.
