Natural and Technological Hazards: Towards an Integrated Approach

本项目侧重于自然灾害和技术危害领域的研究现状。这两个领域的发展方式通常略有不同，尽管它们之间有许多相似之处。由于这些基本相似之处，并认识到灾害正在给世界各地的社会带来越来越大的问题，该项目将尝试在这两种研究传统之间进行一些交叉培养，并产生一系列关键问题，这些问题将为整个灾害领域的研究提供信息并促进研究。这一目标将通过以下方式实现：启动详细的研究审查，将这些发展情况介绍给一个特别讲习班，在讨论中加以完善，并以收集的形式出版这些想法。

This project focuses on the current position of research in the fields of natural and technological hazards. The two fields have typically developed in subtly different ways, despite the many similarities between them. As a result of the fundamental similarities, and with a recognition that hazards are posing ever larger problems to societies throughout the world, this project will attempt some cross-fertilization between the two research traditions, and the generation of a set of key issues which will both inform and stimulate research within the field of hazards as a whole. This aim will be achieved by the initiation of detailed research reviews, the presentation of these developments to a special workshop where they will be refined in discussion, and the publication of these ideas in collected form.
