Traditional ecological knowledge and flood risk management: a preliminary case study of the Rwenzori
(OASIS, 2018)The shift from flood protection to flood risk management, together with recent arguments on incorporating culture in managing risk, underscores the application of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in managing disasters ... -
Urban fire risk control: house design, upgrading and replanning
(OASIS, 2018)Urbanisation leads to house densification, a phenomenon experienced in both planned and unplanned settlements in cities in developing countries. Such densification limits fire brigade access into settlements, thereby ... -
Managing flood disasters on the built environment in the rural communities of Zimbabwe: lessons learnt
