Integration of census data based vulnerability in landslide risk mapping - The case of Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International journal of disaster risk reduction"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ijdrr.2020.101884
Abstract: Abstract Landslide risk arises from the combination of hazard, the exposed population and their vulnerabilities. Whereas hazard depends on natural and anthropogenic factors that render the slopes susceptible to mass movements, vulnerability is related to… read more here.
