To monitor multi-hazards, Remote Sensing and GIS-based
multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques have been
extensively used in recent years worldwide. Since natural hazards
cannot be eliminated, only quantification of these events and
reliable forecasting can alleviate their detrimental effects,
through which we can build more resilient and safe societies.
Moreover, cultivating the proper knowledge of the multi-hazards and
their monitoring and management can fill the gap between science,
policy, and the community concerned. In an endeavor to understand
and characterize the various hazards, Monitoring and Managing
Multi-hazards: A Multidisciplinary approach presents a synthesis of
what cross-disciplinary researchers know about these hazards and
indigenous adaptation strategies. The book therefore focuses on the
use of precision techniques, Remote Sensing, and GIS technologies
to quantify various natural, environmental and social hazards along
with the capacity building and sustainable mitigation strategies
towards resilient societies. It encompasses both thematic and
regional case studies to highlight the dynamicity of climate
change, change of natural resources, landscape, water, river,
agricultural, and social ecosystems at various spatio-temporal
scales, including theoretical and applied aspects. The book gives
readers an overview and analysis of traditional and advanced
geospatial technologies on atmospheric, lithospheric, hydrosphere,
biospheric and socio-economic contexts, on all spatial and temporal
scales regarding hazards and disasters and sustainable development
and management for the future.
