| Zusammenfassung |
| This study evaluates and compares the indirect economic
loss (IEL) resulting from two hypothetical catastrophes occurring in China –
in developed Shanghai and in less-developed Sichuan – to provide new
measures of disaster reduction. IEL was divided into indirect economic loss
due to the disruption of production process (IEL I) and indirect economic
loss induced by the disturbance of industrial lines (IEL II). An
input-output model was used to assess these two types of IEL. The study
showed that (1) developed regions may be more vulnerable with respect to
IEL; (2) IEL II is the primary factor contributing to total IEL; (3) decision makers
need to focus on IEL II beside IEL I which is usually the
main disaster-reduction target after a disaster; and (4) tradeoff between
economic growth and disaster prevention is needed to achieve regional
sustainable development. |
