Risk assessment is an important step to be carried out for disaster management. It provides information for decision makers and communities in pre-disaster, during disaster and post disaster event. Nevertheless, risk assessment in Indonesia, especially on active volcanoes is still limited. This paper presents the risk assessment of Mt. Papandayan (2.665 m), the most active volcano in West Java. The unit of analysis in this study follows the administrative boundaries of village so that the identification can be applied at village level using GIS. Hazard analysis refers to the official hazard map produced by PVMBG while the vulnerability analysis is carried out in 3 sub-analysis, physical vulnerability (7 indicators), social vulnerability (7 indicators), and economic vulnerability. The hazard and vulnerability were overlayed in order to produce the risk which is subsequently made into risk map. The findings indicate that the villages located near and on the direction of the crater have relatively higher risk compared to other villages. The risk map can be incorporated as one of references for spatial planning that integrates disaster mitigation.

This study investigates economic vulnerabilities to climate extremes and climate change in coastal New Jersey before and after Hurricane Sandy. Drawing upon methodological best-practices in climate adaptation and disaster risk management, which emphasize co-production of climate assessment information, the study employs a stakeholder-based approach to identify key climate-related economic stresses, risks and vulnerabilities. Interviews with stakeholders conducted in the months prior to Sandy highlighted a myriad of climatic, environmental and economic stresses in the region and revealed a wide range of economic assets, activities, and populations that are economically vulnerable. Post-Sandy meetings with stakeholders reinforced findings of the pre-Sandy interviews but also brought to light some new and unexpected vulnerabilities. The study illustrates the value of stakeholder participation in economic vulnerability assessments, including deeper and more nuanced understanding of local economic assets, activities, and populations at risk to climate extremes and climate change. The study also demonstrates the importance of stakeholder-engagement for creating buy-in to the climate assessment process and for facilitating new learning opportunities in a post-disaster context. Given climatic non-stationarity and continually evolving economic conditions, stakeholder-based assessments will need to be conducted and updated on an on-going basis in order to ensure continual relevance to post-disaster learning and response.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.
