Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book documents the outcomes of a study designed to explore ways of increasing resilience in a complex city system against disasters by focusing on the transportation system in London. A survey was undertaken comprising interviews with upper level decision makers as well as questionnaires to personnel in the field and the general public. The results of this survey are presented, together with a brief description of the past and current situation in the city with respect to transportation, flood risk and other vulnerabilities. The sources of problems in responding adequately to disasters are analyzed and important lessons drawn. In particular, it is explained how failures derive from insistence upon the application of written plans in preference over redefinition of strategies and priorities and how flexible systems represent a better approach to crisis situations. The book will be of interest to all who are concerned with disaster planning and management and the societal response to disasters.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is devoted to the modeling and understandingof complex urban systems. This second volume of Understanding Complex UrbanSystems focuses on the challenges of the modeling tools, concerning, e.g., thequality and quantity of data and the selection of an appropriate modelingapproach. It is meant to support urban decision-makers-including municipalpoliticians, spatial planners, and citizen groups-in choosing an appropriatemodeling approach for their particular modeling requirements. The contributorsto this volume are from different disciplines, but all share the same goal:optimizing the representation of complex urban systems. They present anddiscuss a variety of approaches for dealing with data-availability problems andfinding appropriate modeling approaches-and not only in terms of computermodeling. The selection of articles featured in this volume reflecta broad variety of new and established modeling approaches such as: - An argument for using Big Data methods inconjunction with Agent-based Modeling;- The introduction of a participatory approachinvolving citizens, in order to utilize an Agent-based Modeling approach tosimulate urban-growth scenarios;- A presentation of semantic modeling to enable aflexible application of modeling methods and a flexible exchange of data;- An article about a nested-systems approach toanalyzing a city's interdependent subsystems (according to these subsystems'different velocities of change);- An article about methods that use Luhmann's systemtheory to characterize cities as systems that are composed of flows;- An article that demonstrates how the Sen-NussbaumCapabilities Approach can be used in urban systems to measure household well-beingshifts that occur in response to the resettlement of urban households;- A final article that illustrates how Adaptive Cyclesof Complex Adaptive Systems, as well as innovation, can be applied to gain abetter understanding of cities and to promote more resilient and moresustainable urban futures.…
