The concept of landscape is known to be always changing dynamically because of its attachment to natural and human activities that continue to grow over time. The aim of this study is to identify landscape changes from 2010 to 2018 which are associated with natural disaster events. Coastal area is the study target on landscape changes due to natural disasters. The research took place in Pelabuhanratu District, Sukabumi Regency which is known for its varied geomorphological form and its natural disaster events occurrence including coastal floods, flash floods, and landslides. The research data was processed using ArcGIS 10.4.1 and ENVI 5.1 software. Data verification was done by field surveys in the study area. The method of this study is an overlay analysis and explained in the term of spatial dan descriptive concept. The landscape of Pelabuhanratu District is dominated by volcanic landforms and vegetation cover. The total area experiencing landscape changes is 44.47 km2 of the district total area of 91.91 km2 and major changes are involving alteration of land cover area.

Tourism is defined to be the combination of events and relationships resulting from the travels and accommodation for temporary human activities lasting from at least two days to two years with the aims of performing activities like work, recreation, entertainment, experiencing different cultures and living styles and sport. There is absolutely a significant relationship between tourism and natural-cultural source values. Tourism can gain a shape in an area depending largely on natural and cultural source values there. Turkey has multi-form and colored landscape diversity changing from city to city and region to region due to its natural characteristics like vegetation cover, climate, topography and soil structure and its cultural richness caused by the factors such as traditions and customs, folkloric and settlement features. Color and form offered by the landscape in Blacksea region change into different colors and forms in East Anatolia and Aegean regions. Such diversity in landscape can offer possibility for also tourism. In the present study, the district of Doğankent in the province of Giresun located in Blacksea region is evaluated. In the scope of the study, surveys were conducted in study area between 2011 and 2014 and natural and cultural values tried to be evaluated. It was determined according to the field surveys on natural and cultural reserves of Doğankent that the area may offer important opportunities for culture, gastronomy, flora, winter, nature and 3 plateau tourism and should be evaluated for these tourism types.

Disaster Exposure

Using National Family Business Panel data combined with national natural disaster and federal disaster assistance data, the purpose of the study was to investigate relative contributions of human, social and financial capital; natural disaster exposure; and federal disaster assistance to business-owning family resilience over time for male and female family business owners. With a theoretical foundation of Sustainable Family Business and Conservation of Resources theories, the study examined 311 small family firms from the National Family Business Panel. Federal disaster assistance explained a significant amount of variance in firm-owning resilience. Higher levels of federal disaster assistance were associated with lower family firm resilience for male-owned businesses and higher family firm resilience for female-owned businesses. This study advances knowledge of firm sustainability after natural disasters by adding to the conceptualization and measurement of family firm resilience; by having baseline firm financial data prior to disaster exposure; by utilizing a national, representative, longitudinal family firm sample; by including a range of natural disasters and federal disaster assistance; and by including family resilience over time.

The aim of writing this article is to know the learning of physical geography by field study in understanding natural disaster. The core components of physical geography in unifying geography are space, lacation, environment, and map having the dimension of time, process, openness, and scale. The learning of physical geography is stressed on the phenomena of natural disaster which is caused by human activities, such as the overflow of hot mud, landslide, and flood in the hope that the learners have sufficient knowledge of physical geography in responding, understanding, and preventing natural disaster which occur in the region or in the neighbouring region. This can be achieved when geography teachers learn the material of physical geography by facilitating the learners to be active in conducting field study to understand the phenomena of the occuring natural disaster. Keywords: physical geography, unifying geography, field study, natural disaster.

This study aims to determine the typology, dynamics and potential of natural disasters in the coastal area of Tulungagung Regency, East Java Province. The results of this study indicate that the typology in the coastal area of Tuluagung Regency consists of structurally shaped coast, wave erosion coast, marine deposition coast, land erosion coast, sub aerial deposition coast and several forms of typology impact from human activities utilizing coastal resources. The form of dynamics that develop in the coastal area of Tulungagung Regency is generally influenced by environmental conditions, factors of sea water waves and human activities in meeting the needs of life as well as for meeting the means of tourism development. While the potential for disasters in the coastal areas of Tulungagung Regency such as tsunami, abrasion, and sea water intrusion.

Anthropomorphization is the tendency to ascribe humanlike features and mental states, such as free will and consciousness, to nonhuman beings or inanimate agents. Two studies investigated the consequences of the anthropomorphization of nature on people’s willingness to help victims of natural disasters. Study 1 (N = 96) showed that the humanization of nature correlated negatively with willingness to help natural disaster victims. Study 2 (N = 52) tested for causality, showing that the anthropomorphization of nature reduced participants’ intentions to help the victims. Overall, our findings suggest that humanizing nature undermines the tendency to support victims of natural disasters.

The chapter argues that natural disasters are common concerns in the international community. At the same time, the current international cooperation mechanism, based on the principle of equal sovereignty, require prior consent by the state affected by a natural disaster. Unfortunately, this is not always an efficient tool for the protection of victims. The globalization of problems and the proliferation of humanitarian crises make the veritable solidarity of the international community increasingly necessary, and therefore another high value, namely international solidarity or community obligations, should create direct and immediate obligations for all members of the international community. The main object of this chapter is to discuss the future-oriented direction of the law on natural disasters. This means, first, to ascertain the lex lata, especially customary rules. The chapter further offers some suggestions on possible ways for the international community to provide more effective relief for victims of natural disasters.

The Impact

The natural environment is one of the most critical factors that profoundly influences human races. Natural disasters may have enormous effects on individual psychological characteristics. Using China’s long-term historical natural disaster dataset from 1470 to 2000 and data from a household survey in 2012, we explore whether long-term natural disasters affect social trust. We find that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between long-term natural disaster frequency and social trust. We further examine the impact of long-term natural disaster frequency on social trust in specific groups of people. Social trust in neighbors and doctors is stronger where long-term natural disasters are more frequent. Our results are robust after we considering the geographical difference. The effect of long-term natural disasters remains positively significant after we divide the samples based on geographical location. Interestingly, the impact of long-term flood frequency is only significant in the South and the impact of long-term drought frequency is only significant in the North.
