Integrated Catastrophe Risk Modeling: Supporting Policy Processes

Efficient and equitable policies for managing disaster risks and adapting to global environmental change are critically dependent on development of robust options supported by integrated modeling. The book is based on research and state-of-the art models developed at IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) and within its cooperation network. It addresses the methodological complexities of assessing disaster risks, which call for stochastic simulation, optimization methods and economic modeling. Furthermore, it describes policy frameworks for integrated disaster risk management, including stakeholder participation facilitated by user-interactive decision-support tools. Applications and results are presented for a number of case studies at different problem scales and in different socio-economic contexts, and their implications for loss sharing policies and economic development are discussed. Among others, the book presents studies for insurance policies for earthquakes in the Tuscany region in Italy and flood risk in the Tisza river basin in Hungary. Further, it investigates the economic impact of natural disasters on development and possible financial coping strategies; and applications are shown for selected South Asian countries. The book is addressed both to researchers and to organizations involved with catastrophe risk management and risk mitigation policies.

Integrated Graphic and Computer Modelling

Computer languages and computer graphics have become the primary modes of human-computer interaction. This book provides a basic introduction to "Real and Virtual Environment" computer modelling. Graphics models are used to illustrate both the way computer languages are processed and also used to create computer models of graphic displays. Computer languages have been bootstrapped from machine code, to high-level languages such as Java, to animation scripting languages. Integrating graphic and computer models takes this support for programming, design and simulation work, one step further, allowing interactive computer graphic displays to be used to construct computer models of both real and virtual environment systems. The Java language is used to implement basic algorithms for language translation, and to generate graphic displays. It is also used to simulate the behaviour of a computer system, to explore the way programming and design-simulation environments can be put together.

Integrated Management of Water Resources in India: Optimizing for Sustainability and Planning (Water Science and Technology Library #129)

This book tackles the complexities of water management in India. Using computational tools, it provides comprehensive information on water availability, demand, climate change, integrated management, and governance. A must-read for researchers, policymakers, and water managers. The book is structured to provide a holistic understanding of water resources in India and the need for an integrated approach to their management. It explores various aspects of water management, including data collection and analysis, water allocation and planning, water quality management, and the intricate interdependencies within the water-energy-food nexus. One of the key focuses of this book is the application of computational approaches in the management of water resources. We explore the use of advanced modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques to facilitate decision making, assess water availability, and predict future scenarios. By employing computational tools, our goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, empowering water managers, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders to make informed and effective decisions. Throughout the book, we present case studies highlighting the application of computational approaches in diverse water management scenarios in India. These case studies offer valuable information on real-world challenges and demonstrate the potential of computational techniques to address complex water resources problems. We also explore the importance of stakeholder engagement, participatory approaches, and collaborative governance models, recognizing the importance of inclusive decision-making processes and local knowledge in achieving sustainable water management. The book is expected to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, professionals, and policymakers involved in water resource management in India. We aim to contribute to the ongoing efforts to ensure the availability of clean and adequate water resources for present and future generations.

Integrated Science to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals (Integrated Science #37)

The book &‘Integrated Science to achieve Sustainable Development Goals&’ debates how different fields of study can confront or mitigate problems or contribute together to the development of society. In brief, it is a book about the interdisciplinarity of knowledge surrounding the topics in society that are involved in the world development agenda. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set in the UN agenda 2030. The book seeks to address the need for the integration of multidisciplinary fields of knowledge to achieve the seventeen SDGs. The book was developed with contributions from established and well-known scholars in different fields. It is interdisciplinary in nature and international in scope, intending to bring out a collection of state-of-the-art/cutting-edge knowledge on policies to achieve the 17 SDGs as well as a range of actionable recommendations for future developments in the different fields with the purpose of addressing the Agenda 2030. The integration of different disciplines (including sociology, health, education, psychology, business, economics, political science, environmental studies and urban planning) in a complex problem like societal development gives this book the challenge to be an authoritative tool with guidelines for the entire community and for policymakers as well. Each chapter presents the state of the art of a topic considered important to achieve SDGs. The authors explain how their field contributes to the achievement of one or more SDGs, including the main theories and examples of empirical evidence that may guide society in using such knowledge to contribute to societal impact.

Integrated Solutions for Smart and Sustainable Environmental Conservation (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #527)

Resource depletion and ecological risks are more than ever at the heart of societal and economic debates. In the 1970s, the developed countries saw the Fordist growth regime crumble in parallel with the growing awareness of the ecological issue. Since the first industrial revolutions, technological dynamics have been the cause of many environmental problems, and there is a consensus on the diagnosis. Integrated technologies reduce resource use and/or pollution at source by using cleaner production methods. This generally leads to a reduction in the by-products, energy inputs and resources used by companies to produce goods. Integrated production technologies reduce negative environmental impacts at source by substituting or modifying cleaner technologies. Examples of integrated, or cleaner, production technologies are the recirculation of materials, the use of environmentally friendly materials (such as the substitution of water for organic solvents), etc. However, the implementation of integrated production technologies is often hampered by obstacles related to cost, coordination and skill inertia problems and to the productive organisation of companies. In addition to the high investment costs of new integrated technologies, additional barriers may emerge depending on the nature of the environmental problem and the type of environmental regulation in question.
