Disaster
Disaster refers to the negative impacts of natural or human-made hazards on society and the environment. The word's roots come from astrology and the idea that bad events occur when stars are in poor positions. Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters to avoid or lessen their impacts. Effective emergency management relies on integrating plans across all levels of government and non-government groups, as actions at each level affect the others. Disaster management aims to deal with and reduce risks from a variety of disaster types.
IB Geography: Hazards and Disasters: Why people live in hazardous areas
There are three main approaches to why people live in hazardous areas:
- Fatalistic Approach: People accept the risks as inevitable and believe hazards are out of their control. They lack alternatives due to economic reasons.
- Acceptance Approach: People accept the risks because the advantages of the area outweigh the costs, such as economic opportunities from tourism, agriculture, and extraction.
- Adaption Approach: People see they can prepare for and survive hazards through prediction, prevention and protection methods like modern technology and infrastructure that warn of and protect from disasters.
Concept of human security
The document discusses the evolution of the concept of security from a traditional state-centric view to a broader human security perspective. It outlines how human security emerged after World War II to consider all aspects of individual and community life, in contrast to the prior focus only on state sovereignty and military threats. The document then compares the traditional and human security paradigms, examining differences in their referents, threats, and means of ensuring security.
Human security
This document discusses the concept of human security. It provides background on how human security became part of international discourse in 1994. It then outlines three conceptions of human security and debates around defining and applying the concept. Key risks to human security are also examined, such as state failure, organized violence, relative poverty, and threats from pandemics, environmental degradation, and terrorism.
DG9. Hard & Soft Security
This document discusses the concept of security from different theoretical perspectives. It defines security as freedom from threats to core values like survival, autonomy, political status, and economic welfare. These can be military, political, economic, societal or environmental. Realism views security as a zero-sum game achieved at the expense of others in an anarchic system. Neoliberalism sees institutions as facilitating cooperation by providing information and making commitments credible. Collective economic security, according to Nye, involves deterring threats to economic welfare through interdependence between states.
Tool Time - HEI
This document discusses the interaction between humans and the environment. It explores how the environment affects humans and how humanity affects the environment. Specifically, it covers the topics of sustainability, problems of human destruction of resources, the three pillars of sustainability (environment, economy, society), and the debate between environmental determinism versus possibilism on the influence of geography on social development and people's ability to change their environment.

Materi iii the idea of human security
This document discusses the concept of human security. It outlines the origins of human security thinking as a critique of prevailing notions of development and security in the 1960s-1980s. It then summarizes two major approaches to human security - from the UNDP and the Canadian government. The UNDP approach focuses on threats to individuals from various sources, while the Canadian approach emphasizes state responsibility to protect citizens. The document aims to develop a comprehensive conception of human security that incorporates both approaches.

Delievering Human Security
This document summarizes a report on delivering human security through multi-level governance. It discusses conceptualizing human security, assessing human security at the local level, the role of regional governance in promoting human security using the EU as a case study, and other regional experiences. The key conclusions are that human security encompasses freedom from fear and want, shifts the focus from states to individuals, and is context-specific. It requires actors at all levels of governance from local to global. Regional organizations like the EU and AU play an important role in aspects of human security within their regions. Local assessment of human security indicators can empower communities and improve governance.
Human Security: Who is Doing What???
This document outlines various bilateral and multilateral agencies that work on human security indicators and measurement in Pakistan. It provides details on the countries, agencies, acronyms, thematic areas of work, and status of various bilateral agencies such as AusAid, DFID, CIDA, USAID, and multilateral agencies such as UNICEF, WHO, WFP, UNHCR. It also discusses questions around whether current human security indicators serve programmatic and research needs, which indicators may be missing or should be changed, and how indicators could be restructured for post-2015 development frameworks with human security as a theme.
Human security basic overview
This document provides an overview of the concept of human security. It emerged after the Cold War as a way to ensure freedom from want, fear and to live with dignity for all people in order to tackle global insecurity. The 1994 UN Development Report was groundbreaking in establishing seven components of human security: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community and political security. It advocates for a people-centered approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of threats to human survival, livelihood and dignity through both top-down policy frameworks and bottom-up empowerment of individuals. Examples are given of issues human security aims to address.
Human Security Implications of Climate Change
The document discusses whether climate change is best framed as a development or human security issue. It notes that climate change can result in loss of infrastructure, livelihoods, and territory for some nations. This may challenge concepts of sovereignty and could shift borders or cause entire territories to be lost. It presents examples of small island nations and populations that are highly vulnerable to sea level rise and natural disasters. The human costs of climate change are generally greatest for less developed and small island countries.
Human Environment Interaction
This document provides an overview of how human activity shapes Earth's surface through three main points:
1. Humans modify their physical environment through infrastructure like dams, oil rigs, cities, and mining which can disrupt ecosystems but also power communities.
2. To effectively live, humans establish economic systems like capitalism, socialism, and communism as well as governments ranging from democracy to dictatorship.
3. All people are connected globally through transportation, trade, communication, and migration which link communities across borders.
human security
This document discusses the concept of human security and proposes adopting a new paradigm that focuses on protecting people rather than states. It argues that while states remain important for security, they sometimes fail to protect citizens or become threats themselves. The document proposes that human security complements state security by seeking to protect individuals from a wide range of threats and empowering people to act on their own behalf. It also notes that in today's interconnected world, threats can spread rapidly so security policies must have a stronger, more integrated global response.
Human Security Approach
The document discusses the human security approach and its evolution from focusing on poverty and human insecurity. It highlights several key aspects of the human security approach including its continued focus on deprivations and downside risks, emphasis on conflicts, need for democracy and empowerment, and integrated framework for action. It also discusses how human security relates to concepts like human development, state security, human rights, and its international dimensions.
Human security in 2016 Botswana
This document outlines the concept of human security and its relevance to Botswana. It defines human security as protecting individuals' lives in a way that enhances freedoms and fulfillment. The main threats to human security in Botswana include environmental degradation, inequitable wealth distribution, idle land, diminished food self-sufficiency, and climate change. Botswana's government has made efforts to improve human security through its Vision 2016 development plan and various ministry programs focused on sustainability, poverty reduction, and diversifying the economy. The document recommends strengthening democracy, policy formulation, conflict resolution, and civil society to further enhance human security.
Geopolitics of human security
The document provides an overview of geopolitics and its relationship to human security. It discusses how geopolitics has evolved from being considered a Nazi discipline to a methodology that can help explain complex phenomena. It also examines how concepts like globalization and relativity theory have impacted views on space and territory over time. The document explores topics like nation-states, transnational relations, and how maps have historically been used to represent political realities and interpret spaces.
02 Chap 3 The Physical And Human Environment (Jan 08)
The document contrasts physical and human environments. It defines the physical environment as natural features like land, water, air and living things. The human environment is formed through human modifications to the physical environment for housing, industry and other activities. It provides examples of the Kalahari Desert, which remains a largely physical environment for the !Kung Bushmen, and Singapore, which has been extensively modified into a human environment through land reclamation and development.
Human environment interaction
Humans depend on natural resources from the environment to meet basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Resources can be renewable, like wind and sunlight, or nonrenewable, like fossil fuels which are limited. How people use the land depends on both environmental factors and human culture, and land use has changed over time as human needs and activities have impacted the environment. Managing resource use involves balancing economic benefits with reducing pollution and environmental impacts.
Introduction to strategic management
This is the first lecture of 40 lectures planned for Anna University/Anna University of Technology students of 3ed semester MBA. Please provide your comments. The required notes will be uploaded soon.
