“…Although the participatory approach has been recognized as important, it requires further research, as multiple stakeholders with compartmentalized policies and practices need to be brought together to promote cross-sectoral collaboration within a complex governance system [55]. The involvement of many institutions with overlapping roles and responsibilities may lead to legal uncertainties and conflicts [62,114]. Additionally, each institution, with its own codes of practices, legislation, and policies, leads to poor regulatory instruments with competing policy agendas, lack of participation in plan creation, and weak coordination within urban institutional settings [60].…”

“…However, the implementation of such integration poses a challenge because of a lack of inter-and intra-institutional coordination combined with an inefficient multilevel governance context [59,80]. The current fragmented and multilayered governance arrangements with limited statuary powers need to be replaced with a new governance approach that can bring together the respected parties (including formal and informal actors) to undertake concerted actions [51,66,80,114].…”

“…In such a scenario, the involvement of local governments is limited, with an inadequate distribution of legislative powers to the local governments. Such an approach has led to limited cooperation between the local and state levels, as well as between other stakeholders in the planning process [114]. Because of the disorganized and limited involvement of local actors during policy or strategy formulation, opportunities for cooperation between the relevant stakeholders have become limited [66,70,113,127].…”

Risk-sensitive urban development is an innovative planning approach that can transform the way cities are built in order to face the uncertainties that arise from climate-induced disaster risks. However, the potential to initiate such a transformative approach has not materialized because of the many underlying issues that need to be understood properly. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic review to gather empirical evidence on the issues and challenges in implementing risk-sensitive urban development. The study identified forty-six issues and challenges under seven key themes that need addressing in order to facilitate the desirable transition: trade-offs, governance, fragmentation and silos, capacity, design and development, data, and funding. The issues and challenges that exist under trade-offs for negotiating solutions for risk-sensitive urban development and the governance of multiple stakeholders were identified as the top two areas that need attention in facilitating the desirable transition. This study also revealed that important information, such as scientific information, hazard and risk information, temporal and spatial information, and critical local details are not being produced and shared between stakeholders in decision-making. A profound participatory process that involves all the stakeholders in the decision-making process was identified as the pathway to ensure equitable outcomes in risk-sensitive urban development.

“…The large number of events and clusters is mainly due to geologic, topographic, climatic conditions, and construction practices. For example, in Oregon, steep slopes and heavy rainfall, as well as poor construction practices, result in high economic losses (Wang et al, 2002). Burns et al (2017) estimated an average annual loss of USD 15.4 million due to landslides in Oregon alone.…”

“…Burns et al (2017) estimated an average annual loss of USD 15.4 million due to landslides in Oregon alone. In years with heavy storms, such as 1996, this can accumulate to more than USD 100 million (Wang et al, 2002).…”

An increasing awareness of the cost of landslides on the global economy and of the associated loss of human life has led to the development of various global landslide databases. However, these databases typically report landslide events instead of individual landslides, i.e., a group of landslides with a common trigger and reported by media, citizens and/or government officials as a single unit. The latter results in significant cataloging and reporting biases. To counteract these biases, this study aims to identify clusters of landslide events that were triggered by the same rainfall event. An algorithm is developed that finds a series of landslide events that (a) is continuous with no more than 2 d between individual events and where (b) precipitation at the location of an individual event correlates with precipitation of at least one other event. The developed algorithm is applied to the Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) maintained by NASA. The results show that more than 40 % of all landslide events are connected to at least one other event and that 14 % of all studied landslide events are actually part of a landslide cluster consisting of at least 10 events and up to 108 events in 1 d. Duration of the detected clusters also varies greatly from 1 to 24 d. Our study intends to enhance our understanding of landslide clustering and thus will assist in the development of improved, internationally streamlined mitigation strategies for rainfall-related landslide clusters.
