“…Loss of farm income was the biggest portion of the total economic costs of flood impacts of which around Php18, 835,845.80. Winter et al [18], considered three categories in measuring impacts of the flooding event. They measured impacts in terms of its direct economic impacts, direct consequential economic impacts and indirect consequential economic impacts.…”

Kabacan town in Mindanao, Southern Philippines, which is situated on the flood plain of Cotabato Province, has been heavily affected on flooding in the recent years. Flooding on February 2013 brought about by typhoon "Crising" had worsened as compared to previous flooding events in the area. This flood event has caused heavy damage to agriculture, and economy of the town. The economic impacts of February 2013 flooding was evaluated and monetized. Valuation techniques comprised of clean-up costs method, crop damage and loss of foregone income was used to estimate the economic costs of flooding. Economic costs comprised of loss of income from rice production, loss of income from other source, clean-up costs and government spending were reached up to Php20, 451,247.49. Findings of the study will be beneficial to the Local Government of Kabacan, particularly to the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, Municipal Agriculture Office and to the Climate Change Commission as flooding is one of the major concerns of Climate Change.

“…Donnini et al, 2017) -secondary effects such as intangible and indirect costs of damage to infrastructure networks have to be considered in a broader economic context and lead to considerable vulnerability of societies affected (Klose et al, 2015;Pfurtscheller and Thieken, 2013;Meyer et al, 2013;Fuchs et al, 2011;Fuchs, 2009). Consequently the assessment of transport network systems has gained relevance in academia as well as the policy agenda of authorities across all scales (Pant et al, 2018;Unterrader et al, 2018;Bíl et al, 2017;Pregnolato et al, 2017;Winter et al, 2016;Rupi et al, 2015;Jenelius, 2009;Taylor et al, 2006;Zischg et al, 2005a, b;D'Este and Taylor, 2003;Berdica, 2002).…”

Abstract. Road networks are complex interconnected systems. Any sudden disruption can result in debilitating impacts on human life or the economy. In particular, road systems in mountain areas are highly vulnerable, because they often do not feature redundant elements at comparable efficiencies. This paper addresses the impacts of network interruptions caused by landslide events on the (rural) road network system in Vorarlberg, Austria. Based on a landslide susceptibility map we demonstrate the performance of agent-based traffic modelling using disaggregated agent data. This allows us to gain comprehensive insights into the impacts of road network interruptions on the mobility behaviour of affected people. Choosing an agent-based activity-chain model enables us to integrate the individual behavioural decision-making processes into the traffic flow model. The detailed representation of individual agents in the transport model allows optimisation of certain characteristics of agents and including their social learning effects into the system. Depending on the location of the interruption, our findings reveal median deviation times ranging between several minutes and more than half an hour, with effects being more severe for employed people than for unemployed individuals. Moreover, results show the benefits of using agent-based traffic modelling for assessing the impacts of road network interruptions on rural communities by providing insights into the characteristics of the population affected, as well as the effects on daily routines in terms of detour costs. This allows hazard managers and policymakers to increase the resilience of rural road network systems in remote areas.

e clay layers at hilly regions in the study area were very thick. e presence of very thick clay caused several difficulties in terms of environmental management, particularly in reducing georisk due to landslide. However, initial observations proved that areas of active landslides had better vegetation cover. e objective of this study was to find out ecological roles of landslides in livelihood in the Middle Bogowonto Watershed. e ecological roles of landslide were examined through field empirical evidences. Texture, bulk density, permeability, structure, and index plasticity were conducted for analyses of soil physical properties.Stepwise interpretation was made using 1 : 100,000-1 : 25,000 Indonesian topographic maps and remote sensing images of 30 m-<10 m spatial resolution. e results showed that landslides formed three landform zones: residual, erosional, and depositional zones. e area that did not slid, the residual zone, had massive soil structure and very hard consistency. Crops cultivated in this zone did not grow well. In the areas of active landslide, the environmental conditions seemed to be more favorable for living creatures. e landslides resulted in depositional zones with gentle slopes (4°to 15°), higher water availability, and easier soil management. e landslides also acted as the rearrangement process of landforms for better living environment.
