International Journal of Disaster Risk Science
http://www.ijdrs.org/EN/volumn/current.shtml
The International Journal of Disaster Risk Science is an
interdisciplinary English language journal that publishes research
papers addressing theoretical and methodological issues in disaster
risk science, emergency response technology, and risk management;
disaster risk governance policies and regulations; and case studies
and comparative research internationally on responses to major
disasters. Its primary aim is to create an exchange platform for
researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of disaster
and risk to communicate, learn, and progress in order to improve the
international, national and regional capacities for disaster risk
analysis, management, and governance.
The journal promotes International Human Dimensions Program on Global
Environmental Change ? Integrated Risk Governance Project or IHDP-IRG
research under the strategic framework of
global change research, including revealing the dynamic processes of
disaster risk, especially catastrophic disaster risk formation, based
on an adequate understanding of global, regional, and
local social-ecological systems change; establishing a “transition in
and out” risk governance model targeting catastrophic disasters
exceeding the existing coping capacities through case
studies and comparative analyses; refining the various models and
modeling tools for catastrophic disaster risk governance; and creating
and improving an integrated disaster risk science that
can meet the challenges for sustainable development.
The journal covers a wide range of disaster risks, including natural
disaster risk; environmental and ecological disaster risks related to
the conditions of the natural environment; technological
risk and the risk of infectious diseases; and new risk factors related
to global change, energy and water security, food security,
international trade, and so on.
