This document discusses involving citizens in planning for green and resilient cities. It presents three examples of "green conflicts" around flood risks, renewable energy projects, and urban green planning. It argues that citizen participation is important to include different perspectives, improve decision making, and increase trust and acceptance of projects. Early and meaningful participation that incorporates both expert and citizen values can help address conflicts and lead to more sustainable outcomes. The document provides guidance on structuring effective participation processes.

The document presents a framework called the Context Capacity and Performance Model of Local Government Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). It aims to understand the drivers and barriers to DRR action by local governments. The model hypothesizes relationships between the context local governments operate in, their capacities for DRR, and their performance and action. An expert survey was conducted to validate the model and found experts had varying opinions, with context and capacity seen as equally influential, and all capacities viewed as similarly important, though financial capacity was overestimated and policy context was underestimated. More research is needed, including broader expert and local government surveys, and case studies applying the model.

1) The document analyzes data from surveys of Syrian refugees in Turkey to understand their choices regarding returning to Syria, staying in Turkey, or migrating elsewhere.
2) It finds that as the duration of living as a refugee increases, the probability of returning to Syria decreases significantly, while the likelihood of migrating to another country increases.
3) Refugees who experienced greater damage, losses, or deaths due to the war in Syria are less likely to return and more likely to migrate internationally in search of asylum.

This document summarizes a master's thesis on the crisis management strategies of Thailand's tourism industry following political unrest and terrorism in 2014-2015. It describes three key steps in crisis management: 1) crisis prevention and planning through contingency planning and security training, 2) strategic implementation including internal and external communication as well as assisting victims, and 3) resolution through recovery marketing and review of crisis plans. Overall, it finds that Thailand demonstrated resilience through coordinated efforts between public and private sectors, as well as understanding of customer behavior to target resilient markets.
The document presents a seismic risk assessment model for a hospital's emergency department (ED). The model includes physical, functional, and patient-oriented submodels linked together. The physical submodel uses structural analysis to determine floor accelerations and drift from ground motions. The functional submodel assesses loss of functionality to examination and operating rooms. The patient-oriented submodel models patient flow through the ED and calculates performance indices based on waiting times. The full model is used to predict ED performance in an earthquake scenario and provide a seismic risk analysis framework.

This document summarizes a study on barriers to considering uncertainties and controversies in urban flood risk governance in Quy Nhon, Vietnam in the context of climate change. The study examined three flood management projects and found poor consideration of uncertainties and limited stakeholder participation. Barriers identified by decision-makers like lack of information and funding masked deeper issues like the influence of private interests and lack of accountability. The study suggests barriers are rooted in issues of governance and political arrangements, and managing flood risk requires addressing uncertainties politically rather than just technically. Overcoming barriers requires a systemic approach that considers their complex and interconnected nature.

This document summarizes a literature study on human behavior in disasters. It finds that:
1) There is little empirical research on human behavior in disasters, especially in Switzerland. Traditional approaches viewed the public as passive, while new approaches emphasize individual coping behaviors.
2) Panic, looting, and violence are rare; most people react calmly and help each other. Prosocial behavior occurs across cultures.
3) Many factors influence coping behavior, including risk perception, trust, knowledge, culture, age, resources, and disaster characteristics. Strengthening individual coping skills and tailored communication can promote appropriate responses.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

Overview – What?
Historically, the private sector & humanitarians have been
perceived as ‘opposites’ with very different contexts, cultures,
goals and drivers.
AND
“What would be possible if one combined the business
motivations of performing at maximum efficiency & minimum
cost with the humanitarian motivations of contribution and
suffering reduction?”

Editor's Notes
This area is, “bleeding edge” I did a lot of cross disciplinary research - P3 partnerships, team and group dynamics, psycho-social, disaster mgmt, business practices, humanitarian and business culture & paradigms, collaboration, partnership dynamics, Each of the NGOs heads an OCHA cluster.
I have provided the definitions used for the research so that everyone is clear on what is meant by these expressions in THIS context.
In one partnership, the corporations gave all spokesperson roles to the NGO or Agency involved, all external contacts –written and oral were handled by the humanitarian organization. This was an act of great trust and very uncharacteristic for most companies – particularly companies of this size & success level.
During the interview process, it became apparent that the NGOs had caused a culture shift in many of the corporate employees and in the corporate culture.
Critical assessment was a more informal process.
A willingness by corporations to invest their time was extremely significant for the NGOs.
Evaluation was a formalized process that was documented, the logical follow up to critical assessment.
Sponsor was usually the CEO or a very senior executive.
