Innovations in Earthquake and Natural Hazards Research: Three Additional Examples
The study examined three research projects that focused on design guidelines for flood damage reduction, seismic risk mapping, and long-term consequences of disasters. For each project, attention is focused on the factors that led to the initiation of the research project, the research that was conducted, the organization of the project, the research outcomes, and the utilization of research results. The research project for flood damage reduction resulted in a manual which synthesized knowledge compiled through state-of-the-art reviews and through interviews with architects, experts in flooding, and other professionals. The seismic risk map, developed primarily because of deficiencies in existing maps, succeeded not only in preserving the best features of those maps, but in paving the way for the development of subsequent seismic risk mapping activities.
