This book provides a wide range of studies on methods of assessing
natural disaster risks and reducing those risks in the context of
land use. A major benefit of the book is that it presents extensive
research and practices from interdisciplinary perspectives through
case studies of land use management against various natural
disasters. The natural hazards include earthquakes, tsunami,
floods, and other disasters, with case studies ranging from urban
areas to areas with natural environments such as mountains, coasts,
and river systems. By quantitative and qualitative analysis, this
work illustrates how interactions between natural and human
environments create natural disasters, and how disaster risks can
be managed or reduced through methods related to land use. This
book also covers a variety of challenges in land use management
with sample cases from Asia as well as the United States and
Europe. The main purpose is to provide greater insight into studies
of natural disaster risks from the perspective of land use and the
possibility of non-engineering methods to reduce those risks. This
goal can be achieved through management of land use against various
natural hazards in diverse environments.
