“…Currently, the authors are conducting a bigger field survey and gathering a multidisciplinary collaborative team to perform a study on the interdisciplinary research problems of the traditional defensive settlements and dwellings pedigree of the southeastern coastal regions of China. Architecture and urban and rural planning majors are practice-oriented, focusing on spatial forms, and the research team is based on typology, summarizing the "prototypes" of traditional settle-ments and dwellings and utilizing them as a catalyst [67][68][69][70][71][72] to inspire spatial effects. Geography focuses on theoretical discernment and quantitative analysis, and we employed multi-scale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) [73][74][75][76] to study the spatial and temporal distribution of these traditional defensive settlements and the factors influencing them.…”

Architectural Spatial Characteristics of Fujian Tubao from the Perspective of Chinese Traditional Ethical Culture

Ethics was used as a building code in ancient China, not only to guide the construction of cities and buildings but also to define a strict hierarchy of architectural characteristics. The Fujian Tubao is a unique vernacular architecture and defensive rammed earth dwelling in China. The existing research on architectural spatial characteristics from the perspective of traditional ethical culture focuses on official architecture and residential-oriented vernacular architecture, and research on defensive dwellings has not yet been carried out. Based on data from our field research over the last ten years and 11 case studies, this paper constructs a research framework through five aspects, the spatial axis, functional arrangement, building volume, settlement pattern, and defense system, and analyzes the architectural spatial characteristics of Tubao under the ethical perspective. We find that although the Fujian Tubao is a rammed earth dwelling with mainly defensive functions, it also follows the traditional Chinese ethical concept of “clear-cut hierarchy and order of superiority and inferiority”; however, because of its special defense performance, it has added practical and defensive space to the traditional dwelling arrangement pattern. This study helps to provide a manual for the restoration and sustainable development of the vernacular architecture heritage of the southeastern coastal regions of China.

“…The SES approach can help with the effective integration of climate change impacts and responses in development planning (Hossain & Alamgir Kabir, 2017), which can foster sustainable development through enhancing social-ecological resilience (Park 2024) and ensuring social and economic development while maintaining ecosystem services across different scales (IPCC, 2014b). SES dynamic perspectives can support progress toward sustainable development through (1) avoiding narrow assumptions about "natural" systems in order to enhance resilience to climate change (Huntsinger & Oviedo, 2014); (2) generating knowledge about the social-ecological conditions, drivers, trends, interrelations, and feedbacks among variables (Dearing et al, 2015); (3) determining and explaining actors' visions and political desires as well as the need for adaptation responses as part of the target knowledge (Maani, 2013;Pohl et al, 2010); and…”

Adaptation to climate change has become part of national development programs (e.g., National Adaptation Planning). Though communities are adapting to climate change across the world, this perspective argues that understanding social and ecological systems requires greater attention to enhance resilience for achieving and moving beyond the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in response to climate change across the world. In addition, based on a systematic literature review, this perspective identifies key research gaps and addresses relevant key challenges and future research direction for social and ecological systems (SES) adaptation to climate change. Ultimately, this may also help move from the existing limits to adaptation (intolerable risks through adaptive actions) concept to social‐ecological limits to adaptation and offers an opportunity to integrate adaptation to climate change in development planning by considering both SES.

“…A comprehensive report by Mizutori and Guha-Sapir (2020) reveals a stark rise in both the frequency and severity of global disaster events. They captured disaster events as surging by 74.48% from 4212 events in the period between 1980 and 1999 to 7348 events The concepts of resilience and development remain subjects of contention, necessitating clarification for collective actions (Park, 2024). In this study, resilience is employed as a rallying call, following Park (2024), to denote the outcomes of disaster risk management (DRM) and DRR initiatives.…”

It emphasizes the fortification of a community or society's structures and functional capacities, enabling them to withstand, assimilate, adjust to, adapt, transform, and swiftly recover from hazard impacts (UNGA, 2016).…”

Identifying disaster risk factors and hotspots in Africa from spatiotemporal decadal analyses using INFORM data for risk reduction and sustainable development

The incidence and magnitude of hazards in Africa are escalating. Extant knowledge base of disaster risk (DR) trends, factors, and hotspots is lacking for the continent. Here we applied random forest machine learning regressions, spatial stratified heterogeneity, and hotspot analyses on INFORM data to identify DR patterns, factors and interactions, and notable risk hotspots. We show that although DR is generally decreasing in Africa, the Eastern, Southern, and Western regions record increasing DR. Physical exposure to floods, epidemics, and violent conflicts are hazard drivers of DR in Africa. Other significant DR drivers are mostly clustered under vulnerable groups and poor infrastructural coping capacities. Human hazards interact with other factors, exhibiting the highest influences on DR. Precisely, 19 out of 53 African countries in this study are DR hotspots. Eritrea is identified as a new hotspot. Targeted policies, resilience building, vulnerability reduction measures and comprehensive sustainability‐infused solutions are required for DR reduction and sustainable development in Africa.
