Although vulnerability represents an essential concept in the development of mitigation strategies at the local, national, and international levels, there is little consensus among researchers, planners, and disaster managers regarding the best way to undertake vulnerability analysis. The basic objective of this research is to move that discussion forward by integrating remote sensing and GIS analysis into new ways of thinking about urban vulnerability.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Although vulnerability represents an essential concept in the development of mitigation strategies at the local, national, and international levels, there is little consensus among researchers, planners, and disaster managers regarding the best way to undertake vulnerability analysis. The basic objective of this research is to move that discussion forward by integrating remote sensing and GIS analysis into new ways of thinking about urban vulnerability.
520 $a The research conceptualizes urban vulnerability to be a characteristic of an urban community that can be assessed through a combination of ecological factors associated with the physical conditions of the geographic space in which the urban community is and the social conditions of the population in that place. The basic hypothesis of the research is that these physical and social conditions are so inextricably bound together in many disaster situations that we can use the former as indicative of the latter. The research proposes an approach, through which areas with high levels of vulnerability (hot spots) are first located and differentiated from other areas within a defined urban region. The methodology of this research is tested for the Los Angeles metropolitan area, employing data from the 1990 US census.
520 $a The findings of this research add to our understanding of how earthquake hazards respond to natural and human-induced changes, and the consequences of land cover alteration on the increasing occurrence worldwide of earthquake disasters. From an empirical viewpoint, the study shows how advanced GIS and remote sensing procedures can be combined to allow planners and decision makers to focus on the more vulnerable communities in their midst, and thus to help develop mitigation measures that could prevent earthquake hazards from becoming major human disasters. Finally, this study tests the importance of using remote sensing data in vulnerability analysis at the local level, thus laying the foundation of integrating this timely source of information in existing earthquake simulation packages to expedite their wide implementation in local governments.
