Abstract
Description
This volume has a double focus. One is on the vulnerability of urban areas in developing countries to disasters,
especially those associated with natural and technological factors. The other is on the new strategies and on the better
application of valid planning and managing principles that ought to be used to cope with disasters. As such, those
officials active in disaster planning and managing are visualized as prime users of this work. However, readers also in
research aspects might also be interested. The latter in particular might want to look at a paper developed at the same
time as the initial draft of this volume, which focuses on conceptual and statistical problems involved in study disaster
phenomena (Quarantelli 2001a).
