Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue “Risk Assessment and Sustainable Disaster Management” is to elicit papers related to sustainable risk assessment and disaster management topics. It aims to encourage a perspective of sustainability in dealing with disaster management. Sustainable development covers environmental, social, and economic dimensions and requires a multi-disciplinary approach in order to examine, explore, and critically engage with issues and advances in these and related areas. Strategies, methods, and technologies for mitigating, preparing, responding, and recovering from various kinds of disasters (including natural and technological/man made) are needed in order to achieve the goal of sustainability and sustainable development and at the same time enhance our disaster management practices. Besides covering the main issues of sustainable risk assessment and disaster management, other areas covered include disaster management sustainability, sustainable risk assessment of natural or technological disasters, risk assessment of disaster management policies and regulations, disaster management governance and sustainability, general disaster management risk assessment, and other related topics.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
- Modelling DM knowledge for sustainable development
- Sustainable development and DM
- Decision modelling frameworks in DM within sustainable development
- Emergency management requirement analysis, modeling, and design
- Disaster management services interoperability
- Sustainable regulatory aspects of disaster management and IS
- Human behavior for sustainable emergency management
- Stakeholder modelling for sustainable DM
- Prevention, preparation, response, and recovery
The venue is a peer-reviewed international and open access scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the cross-disciplinary area of sustainability and sustainable development. Sustainability has high visibility and is indexed in Clarivate Analytics (prior Thomson Reuters) Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index database. Papers selected for this Special Issue were subject to a rigorous peer review procedure with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
