Statistical modelling of landslides - Landslide susceptibility and beyond
(2019)Statistical approaches are routinely applied to analyze landslide processes from several perspectives. During the last decade, the growing accessibility of environmental data as well as an increasing availability of powerful ... -
Vulnerability to Heat Waves, Floods and Landslides in Mountainous Terrain: Test Cases in South Tyrol
(Elsevier, 2014)South Tyrol is a region that has been often affected by various mountain hazards such as floods, flash floods, debris flows, rock falls, and snow avalanches. Furthermore, areas located in lower altitudes are often influenced ... -
Disaster Impact and Land Use Data Analysis in the Context of a Resilience‐Relevant Footprint
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)In the first place, we need to clarify why we have chosen the term disaster footprint to characterise our study. Apart from its obvious meaning, the word footprint also carries significance as a marked impression, an effect, ... -
The most recent view of vulnerability
(Publications Office of the European Union, 2017)Disaster risk is determined by the combination of physical hazards and the vulnerabilities of exposed elements. Vulnerability relates to the susceptibility of assets such as objects, systems (or part thereof) and populations ... -
Qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk assessment

Kommunikation durch Geoinformation und GIS in der Naturgefahren- und Risikoanalyse: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen am Beispiel gravitativer Massenbewegungen
(Verlag Österreich GmbH, 2018)Umgangssprachlich kann der Begriff „Kommunikation“ als Übertragung bzw. Austausch von Information in sprachlicher, schriftlicher oder bildlicher Form verstanden werden. Im Kontext von Naturgefahren ist die Rolle der ... -
The emBRACE resilience framework: developing an integrated framework for evaluating community resilience to natural hazards
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)Community resilience has become an important concept for characterising and measuring the abilities of populations to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and ... -
Der Umgang mit verbleibendem Risiko: Situationsanalyse und Herausforderungen im Alpenraum

Wicked Problems: Resilience, Adaptation, and Complexity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)This chapter draws together an overall understanding of the social‐natural‐technical policy frameworks within which emBRACE work can be considered. It explains some of the discursive background to the ideas coalesced within ... -
Combining Quantitative and Qualitative Indicators for Assessing Community Resilience to Natural Hazards
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)A major prerequisite for operationalising resilience is the existence of sound analytical frameworks. The emBRACE project addressed the research needs through the development of an analytical framework of community resilience, ... -
Managing Complex Systems: The Need to Structure Qualitative Data
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)This chapter empirically shows how rigorous and transparent methods can be used to both maintain the integrity of 'softer' data while including it in 'holistic' assessments. It also shows that 'messiness' can be resolved ... -
The role of risk perception and community networks in preparing for and responding to landslides: a Dolomite case study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)This chapter presents results from the case study in the alpine community Badia (Italy) which was hit by an unusually large landslide in December 2012. The objective of the study was to understand the resilience of the ... -
