“…Therefore, different national and international studies identified Dhaka to be highly vulnerable to earthquakes [74,75]. Considering the earthquake vulnerability of Dhaka city, several pieces of research have been carried out focusing on earthquake risk assessment and management [76][77][78]. Barua,Islam [79] focused on the integration of earthquake risk sensitivity in land use planning.…”

Risk-Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP) is the process of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and management parameters in land use planning. To ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of RSLUP, it is necessary to identify and understand the existing risk sensitivity of the land use plan. This research aims to develop a GIS-based multi-criteria zoning approach for mapping earthquake risk sensitivity of land use at local level. The methodology applied in this research is comprised of two steps. Firstly, assessment of the spatial earthquake risk sensitivity of the land use of an area based on the risk themes and corresponding risk attributes including both natural characteristics as well as built environment factors. Secondly, mapping of earthquake risk sensitivity by overlaying the spatial risk attribute maps based on weights determined through the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The research findings show that risk sensitivity map provides a guideline for policymakers to understand “where” and “why” RSLUP interventions are necessary. This research contributes to the theory and practices of disaster risk reduction and management by proposing a risk sensitivity assessment and mapping methodology. This will facilitate RSLUP at local level as a decision support system ensuring sustainability by reflecting the risk sensitivity accordingly and effectively.

Risk-Sensitive Land-Use Planning (RSLUP) is a critical process for integrating disaster-risk management (DRM) considerations into land-use planning, for which first it is necessary to understand the existing risk sensitivity. This study aims to develop a GIS-based multi-criteria zoning approach to mapping earthquake-risk sensitivity of land use at local level. The methodology comprises two main steps. Firstly, the spatial earthquake-risk sensitivity of land use is evaluated based on some risk themes related to development, land use, and emergency facilities. Secondly, earthquake-risk sensitivity is mapped by overlaying the spatial risk-theme maps, using weights determined through the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). Overall, four earthquake-risk-sensitive zones were identified in the study area, ranging from high-risk-sensitive zones to low-risk-sensitive zones. This research contributes to the theory and practice of DRM by proposing a multi-criteria risk-sensitivity assessment and mapping methodology. The findings demonstrate that the risk-sensitivity map provides policymakers with a guide to identify “where” and “why” RSLUP interventions are necessary. This will serve as a decision-support system to formulate the “what” and “how” of the RSLUP at the local level, reflecting the risk sensitivity accordingly and thereby ensuring sustainability.

“…Global public emergencies occur with high frequency [2], such as the COVID-19 pandemic, bushfires in Australia, the SARS pandemic, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the September 11 terrorist attacks, and so on, which can substantially inhibit social and economic development and threaten people's lives and property. Urban communities have become the setting of and first line of defense against all types of public emergencies [3]. Improving the emergency management capacity of urban communities and reducing the probability of the occurrence of emergencies and the severity of their consequences has become an urgent problem to be solved by governments, experts, and scholars around the world [4].…”

Public emergencies are occurring with increasing frequency worldwide, leading to what is often referred to as a high-risk society. Amid various public emergencies, urban communities take on a more prominent role. However, studies on assessing the emergency preparedness and response capacity of urban communities are currently limited. To evaluate the essential factors, both inherent and external, that affect the emergency management capacities of urban communities, an index system for assessing community emergency preparedness and response capacity was developed by using the theory of the emergency management cycle. Acknowledging the complexity and ambiguity of emergency preparedness and response capacity within urban communities, a multilayer fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was established using the entropy weight method. This model was then applied to assess the emergency preparedness and response capacity of communities against the backdrop of the COVID-19 public emergency. Results show that the assessment outcomes generated by the multilayer fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, employing the entropy weight method, align with the real-world situation, signifying the soundness and effectiveness of the selected methods and index system. The conclusion offers a novel basis and methodology for evaluating the emergency preparedness and response capacity of urban communities, holding considerable practical value.
