Abstract

Vulnerability is produced through different scalar configurations of human‐environment interactions. Indicator‐based approaches are useful to categorize vulnerability, but not useful for understanding it. Horizontal and vertical integration of planning strategies is necessary, encompassing natural disaster management, spatial planning and watershed management. This presentation reviews differences in vulnerability due to socio-economic factors and regional variations in land use systems. River overflow, and run‐off floods are significant to vulnerability.
