Born in the wake of disaster : A quantitative study of the effect on total fertility rates of severe natural disasters between 1994 and 2012 in Indonesian provinces

Riese, Hanna, Vitri, Rebecca January 2018 (has links)
Natural disasters have previously been found to have a positive effect on fertility due to incentives to use births to replace children lost and insure against increased risk. Using a simple demand framework for children, this paper contributes to the literature by re-examining this interaction under a new set of methodological conditions through the inclusion of a wider spectrum of cases than often used in previous works. OLS fixed effects regressions are performed using data from Indonesia and no support for the hypothesis is found. The findings are robust and contrast with former research. To provide nuance and insight to the results, the wanted total fertility rate and the prevalence of contraceptive use are utilised as alternative dependent variables.

An experience of crisis intervention in southern Peru: Psychological Brigades / Una experiencia de intervención en crisis en el sur del Perú: Brigadas Psicológicas

Kudó, Inés, Velasquéz C., Tesania, Iza R., Mónica, Ángeles R., Alicia, Pezo del Pino, César, Martínez, Patricia 25 September 2017 (has links)
This paper summarizes the experience of the Psychological Brigades conducted in 2001 in response to an earthquake that battered the southern part of the country, causing countless human and material losses and leaving over 200 thousand victims. The brigades gathered about 100 people among faculty members, students and graduated students from the Department of Psychology of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, who went to the affected areas to provide psychological support. The complete intervention is presented, including the design previous to the intervention, techniques used during the intervention and the evaluation of the results. These include the impact on the assisted population, the factors that contributed to the intervention success, as well as the impact on the brigades’ members. The assisted population specially remarks the value of feeling heard and accompanied, and of having a space to talk and meditate about its experience, fears and fantasies. / El presente trabajo resume la experiencia de las Brigadas Psicológicas llevadas a cabo en el año 2001 como respuesta al terremoto que azotó al sur del país, causando innumerables pérdidas humanas y materiales y más de doscientos mil damnificados. Las brigadas con­gregaron alrededor de cien voluntarios entre docentes, alumnos y egresados del Departa­mento de Psicología de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, quienes se movilizaron a las zonas afectadas con el fin de brindar apoyo psicológico. Se presenta la intervención en conjunto: el diseño previo a la intervención propiamente dicha, las técnicas utilizadasdurante la intervención y la evaluación de los resultados. Éstos incluyen el impacto en la población atendida, los factores a los que se atribuye el éxito de la intervención y el im­pacto en los brigadistas. La población atendida remarca de manera especial lo valioso que constituye el sentirse escuchada y acompañada, el contar con espacios para hablar y re­flexionar sobre su experiencia, temores y fantasías.

Este estudo teve por escopo avaliar a percepção de risco de moradores de áreas com histórico de eventos calamitosos, com o objetivo de verificar se a consciência dos riscos condizia com as reais probabilidades de desastres naturais a que estas populações estão expostas. Para isso, foi utilizado registros da defesa Civil do Guarujá, para a hierarquização das áreas mais suscetíveis e de população mais vulnerável, onde foram aplicados questionários qualitativos tendo por base a Fenomenologia - setor da ciência que descreve um fenômeno a partir da percepção e experiência vivenciada pelos indivíduos que o presenciam no mesmo tempo e local, e o percebem e o interpretam de acordo com variações individuais- com a finalidade de cruzar os dados e aferir a percepção de riscos dos moradores. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no município do Guarujá - SP que, embora conhecido por suas belezas cênicas e pelo turismo, apresenta muitas áreas de risco a escorregamentos e inundações, fazendo com que uma parte substancial de seus habitantes seja altamente vulnerável às inundações e escorregamentos, especialmente no verão, quando as precipitações são mais concentradas / Abstract: The recognition of the evolution of weather patterns is a strategic adjustment in the perception of man and the physical environment and, therefore, the quality of individual and social life. Scope of this study was to evaluate the risk perception of residents in areas with a history of calamitous events, in order to verify that the awareness of risk matched the actual probability of natural disasters that these populations are exposed. For this, we used records of the Civil Defence Guaruja, for ranking of the most susceptible and vulnerable population, questionnaires were applied based on the qualitative phenomenology - the sector of science that describes a phenomenon from the perceptions and lived experience by individuals who witness the same time and place, and perceive and interpret it according to individual variations, in order to compare data and assess the risk perception of residents. The research was conducted in the city of Guaruja - SP which, although known for its scenic beauty and tourism, has many areas at risk to landslides and floods, causing a substantial part of its inhabitants are highly vulnerable to floods and landslides, especially in summer when rainfall is more concentrated / Mestrado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Mestre em Geografia

Orientadores: Luci Hidalgo Nunes, Gerhard Held / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Geociências / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-21T21:23:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Candido_DanielHenrique_D.pdf: 12040471 bytes, checksum: 47011ad1ee58b830a779d18c7c681dac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: O registro de tornados e trombas-d'água no Brasil têm aumentado de forma substancial nos últimos anos. Embora as alterações antrópicas tenham papel fundamental para a elevação de tais ocorrências, uma vez que mais calor disponível significa maior instabilidade atmosférica, há de se considerar que a expansão urbana e o espraiamento da população faça com que os registros visuais desses fenômenos se tornem mais frequentes. Assim, este estudo avaliou a distribuição espacial do fenômeno em território brasileiro por meio do desenvolvimento de um modelo capaz de utilizar parâmetros climatológicos e geomorfológicos para definir os riscos de ocorrência de episódios tornádicos em diferentes setores do Brasil. Tal modelo foi obtido mediante aplicação de técnicas de geoprocessamento, adotando para isso ferramentas de SIG. O trabalho também apresenta a listagem de todos os eventos em território nacional, bem como a proposição de uma nova classificação dos fenômenos relacionados a ventos intensos, uma vez que os modelos atualmente adotados desconsideram as particularidades das estruturas existentes no país, sendo necessária a adoção de uma escala mais adequada à realidade brasileira. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o setor centro-sul do país apresenta elevado risco de ocorrência do fenômeno, sendo que os estados de São Paulo, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul são particularmente mais afetados / Abstract: The number of tornadoes and waterspouts recorded in Brazil has increased substantially in recent years. Anthropic alterations have key role in the increase of such occurrences, due to more heat being available, which in turn increases the atmospheric instability. But on the other hand, it should also be considered that the urban sprawl as well as an increase in population may result in such phenomena being observed more frequently. Thus, this study seeks to elucidate the spatial distribution of the phenomenon in Brazil by developing a model capable of using climatological and geomorphological parameters to capture the risk of occurrence of tornadoes in different parts of Brazil. This model was developed by applying geoprocessing techniques, adopting GIS tools for this task. The work also presents a list of all events recorded in the national territory. Furthermore, a new classification of events is proposed, since the current methods ignore the particularities of the existing structures in the country, necessitating the adoption of a scale more suitable to the Brazilian reality. Results show that the south-central sector of the country presents a high risk of occurrence of these phenomena, with the states of São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul in particular being more affected / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutor em Ciências
