| Zusammenfassung |
| While disaster studies researchers usually view risk as a function of
hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, few studies have systematically
examined the relationships among the various physical and socioeconomic
determinants underlying disasters, and fewer have done so through seismic
risk analysis. In the context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this
study constructs three statistical models to test different determinants
that affect disaster fatality at the village level, including seismic
hazard, exposure of population and fragile buildings, and demographic and
socioeconomic vulnerability. The Poisson regression model is used to estimate the
impact of these factors on fatalities. Research results indicate that
although all of the determinants have an impact on seismic fatality, some
indicators of vulnerability, such as gender ratio, percentages of young and
aged population, income and its standard deviation, are the important
determinants deteriorating seismic risk. These findings have strong social
implications for policy interventions to mitigate such disasters. |
