Despite progress in governance and sustainable development, SIDS remain vulnerable to climate change and economic instability. The conference emphasized the need for continued international suppor…
This study introduced a novel integrated hydrological-hydrodynamic model that takes into account the layout of low-impact development (LID) facilities along with pipeline alignment and rehabilitation. The integration of gray and green infrastructure has proven to be a feasible approach for managing stormwater in established urban areas. However, evaluat…
The researchers used a case study research design for the inquiry intended to recommend adaptive capacity and reduce disaster risks in informal settlements in the eMalahleni Local Municipality (eLM) in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. The eLM in Mpumalanga province, South Africa, has a number of informal settlements because of the influx of people see…
This study has been conducted to enhance an evacuation simulation model by considering topography that impacts traffic mobility and speed, traffic congestion, and human behaviour. Evacuation is a highly effective response to tsunamis, and recent models and simulations have provided valuable insights into mass evacuation scenarios. However, the accuracy…
