Fuzzy Logic Modeling Approach for Risk Area Assessment for Hazardous Material...drboon
The assessment of area in risk of HazMat transportation is very beneficial for the planning of the management of such area. We prioritized the affected area using HazMat-Risk Area Index (HazMatRAI) developed on the basis of Fuzzy Logic. The purpose of such development is to reduce limits of the criteria used for the assessment which we found exist when displaying data related to Hazmat represented by iceberg. In this regard, we categorized type of Membership Function according to Fuzzy set method in order to match the existing criteria, both solid and abstract ones. The conditions of Fuzzy Number and Characteristic are used respectively so that all risk levels are covered. However, the displaying of HazMat-Risk Area Index needs weighing of each criterion that is used for the assessment which significance of each level varies. We used Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to establish weighing value obtained from such assessment. Therefore it is beneficial for the preparation of area with HazMatRAI value is high, hence proper preparation for the management in case of critical situation.
Promoting Climate Risk Reduction through Risk InsurancePrabhakar SVRK
Risk insurance can provide an effective means of catastrophic risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the developing countries. The ongoing discussions by the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are putting substantial efforts to promote climate change adaptation through international cooperation in the form of providing additional finances and technologies including proposals to promote a global or regional climate risk insurance facility. Case studies from within and outside the Asia-Pacific region provide valuable lessons which could be used for promoting risk insurance by the future climate regime (post-Kyoto Protocol beyond 2012). The analysis of these risk insurance proposals to the Convention and comparison of what they intend to achieve with that of the existing issues within the risk insurance sector in the developing Asia-Pacific indicate that these proposals address some of the major issues that are limiting the spread of risk insurance. However, no single proposal is comprehensive enough to address all the issues and all the proposals lack details in terms of how they can achieve what they intend to achieve. There is a need for the proposals to the Convention to give more thought on how they address the issues such as high base risks, lack of historical data required for designing risk insurance systems, limited awareness in the utility of insurance instruments, keeping the premium prices within affordable levels, encouraging the role of private sector, enabling greater access to reinsurers, and instituting enabling policies to create a proactive risk mitigation environment with an eye on sustainability. A convergence approach wherein the proposals incorporate lessons from on-the-ground experiences from regional, national and local initiatives could provide an effective model for promoting the risk insurance.
This study developed and conducted a systematic mixed-methods grey literature methodology to characterise and identify climate risk insurance initiative in building resilience in developing countries. The study found that climate risk insurance can help developing countries build resilience against extreme weather events. However, there are barriers to the initiative. This is because of the issue of lack of climate data instruments. The collaboration between the public and private sectors is one way to overcome the challenges of implementing climate risk insurance. This systematic review methodology presents crucial insights on the state-of-the-art knowledge on climate risk insurance and resilience in developing countries

Every year, natural hazard events threaten lives and livelihoods, resulting in deaths and billions of dollars in damage. Many geoscientists and various institutions are working with many partners to monitor, assess, and conduct targeted research on a wide range of natural hazards so that policymakers and the public have the understanding to enhance preparedness, response and resilience. For planning and risk assessment to tackle the Natural Hazards for public awareness, alarming and evacuation, Hazard Maps are essentially needed for institutions and governmental working committees of Natural Disaster Prevention, in future.

Social Protection and Climate Resilience: A Review Of Sub-Saharan African Cas...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— Social protection is mainly used for assisting the most vulnerable in the area of poverty reduction. However, international development scholars are arguing that social protection aside impacting the poor can also help in climate resilience. This study examines selected case studies in the social protection and climate resilient debate in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection, the study finds that social protection through cash transfers have been able to build climate resilience among participants of the scheme. Though findings from the study were minimal, a wide range of research needs to be carried out to determine the impact of social protection on climate shocks on a broader scale.

Perception and Trend Analysis of Climate Change in Chepang and Non-Chepang Fa...Premier Publishers
This research was conducted to assess trend and farmer’s perception of climate change among Chepang and Non-Chepang communities in Chitwan. Data were obtained from 120 households using pre-tested questionnaire and secondary sources. Descriptive statistics, time series regression and Logit model were used for data analysis. About 53 percent of respondents had knowledge of climate change which was found higher among Non-Chepang (61.7%) as compared to Chepang (43.3%). Majority of farmers perceived rise in temperature in all three seasons with increase in numbers of summer days and decrease in numbers of both winter and rainy days. Both numbers of rainy days and intensity of rainfall were perceived to decrease by a majority of respondents in all three seasons. Trend analysis showed increasing trend of annual total rainfall (4.86 mm per year) and average temperature (0.005oC). Household size, respondent’s education and maize production were statistically significant on farmer’s perception of climate change. Farmers at local and rural level seem to have insufficient knowledge about climatic patterns which will highly hinder their adaptation practices, leading to unsuccessful farming. The finding from this research can be useful for climatic disaster management and formulation of relevant plan and policies.
Impact of Future Climate Change on water availability in Kupang CityWillem Sidharno
Observed climate change could affect water availability in the future. Changes also
occurred Kupang city in recent decades, an increase in the magnitude of the damage caused
by drought due to climate change. In an attempt to explore the effects of drought can be
aggravated by climate change. in this paper, the author will be analyze impact of changes in
the water balance in Kupang city. To achieve that, the author will use the procedure consists
of two procedures: Temperature and precipitation are modeled under two typical emission
A1FI and B1 scenarios evaluated in this study for future projections in Kupang, discharge
simulations using rainfall Mock generated daily rainfall and water balance monthly Data
analysis WEAP (water Evaluation and Planning System) based simulation Mock. Due to the
significant uncertainty involved in forecasting future water consumption and water yield, the
author will use the three scenarios assumed water consumption and water three outcome
scenarios. Three scenarios of water consumption, ie, "Low", "Medium" and "High" in
accordance with the expected number of water consumption. Disposal obtained from mock
simulations during the simulation period. Finally, the water balance analysis conducted by
WEAP based on a combination of the three scenarios of water consumption. With this
procedure, it is possible to explore different scenarios of water consumption and water
results and the results of this study can be used to establish the proper planning to minimize
the impact of drought on water availability to support water requirement due to climate
change in Kupang city.

34. Ratio of impacts by climatic trend,

1 Climate change can be divided
into three parts: climatic trend,
climatic fluctuation and climate
extremes. The influence of climatic
trend can be “ trade-off ” .
Moreover, the key point of climatic
fluctuation research is to find
“fluctuation threshold”.
2 Temperature is the most important
climatic factors which will bring
negative impacts on early rice yield.
Moreover, climatic trend is ranked
first which will bring negative
influence on early paddy rice yield
in Wuling station.
1 、 How to improve the simulation accuracy ?
2 、 How to consider the influence of human activities on the rice yield ?
