| Zusammenfassung |
| People are unequally affected by extreme weather events in terms of
mortality, morbidity and financial losses; this is the case not only for
developing, but also for industrialized countries. Previous research has
established indicators for identifying who is particularly vulnerable and
why, focusing on socio-demographic factors such as income, age, gender,
health and minority status. However, these factors can only partly explain
the large disparities in the extent to which people are affected by natural
hazards. Moreover, these factors are usually not alterable in the short to
medium term, which limits their usefulness for strategies of reducing social
vulnerability and building social capacity. Based on a literature review and
an expert survey, we propose an approach for refining assessments of social
vulnerability and building social capacity by integrating psychological and
governance factors. |
