4. 7. Understanding regional dynamics of vulnerability : a historical approach to the flood problem in China

   Author : Guoyi Han; Roger E. Kasperson; Graduate School of Geography Clark University; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Throughout its long history, China is among the world's most flood-prone and consequently the most experienced countries in coping with floods. This is a dissertation about developing a historical approach for understanding regional dynamic change of vulnerability to flood hazards in the Chinese context, and providing an analytic base for the country's shift of its flood management strategy from the current predominant and prevalent flood control approach to a broader and more comprehensive risk management paradigm.
