Exploring cyclone risk in vulnerable settlements: investigating community focussed landscape interventions.

长期以来，气旋一直对城市构成重大风险，特别是在住房不达标和基础设施不足的脆弱沿海地区。在PATHWAY主题城市、环境和宜居性的演讲中，该项目探讨了热带风暴事件的强度和频率随着海洋温度变暖而增加如何越来越多地影响低收入群体的问题，该项目解决了解决方案的必要性，使这些住区在面对这些灾害时更具弹性。鉴于发展中国家的资源往往稀缺，应优先考虑低成本但有效的解决办法。它将探索实验性的解决方案，例如尽量减少风暴潮的人工珊瑚礁，恢复已经失去的东西，包括退化的沿海栖息地，包括红树林和沼泽，以及恢复几个世纪以来与风暴共处的土著建筑做法。任何解决方案要想在长期内取得成功，就需要得到社会的广泛接受，并与改善受影响人群的宜居性的努力一起发展。明确地讲到路径主题，该项目探索创新、复苏和社区能力建设如何帮助应对影响热带世界大部分地区的环境挑战，寻求直接帮助特定社区并创建可转移和可扩展的发展模式。

Cyclones have long posed significant risk to cities, especially in vulnerablecoastal areas with substandard housing and inadequate infrastructure.Speaking to the Pathway theme Cities, Environment, and Liveability, thisproject explores how the intensity and frequency of tropical storm eventsincreases with warming ocean temperatures increasingly affect low-incomesettlements, This project addresses the need for solutions to make suchsettlements more resilient in the face of these disasters. In light of oftenscarce resources in developing contexts, low-cost but effective solutionsshould be prioritised. It will explore experimental solutions, e.g. artificialreefs to minimise storm surge, solutions which involve recovery of what hasbeen lost including degraded coastal habitats, including mangroves andmarshes, and recovery of indigenous building practices evolved overcenturies of living with storms. For any solution to be successful in thelong-term, it needs to be widely accepted by the community and developedin tandem with efforts to improve the liveability of those affected. Clearlyspeaking to the Pathway theme, this project explores how innovation,recovery, and community capacity building can help tackle environmentalchallenges affecting large parts of the tropical world, seeking to bothdirectly help specific communities and create transferable and scalabledevelopment models.
