O conceito de resiliência urbana colabora nas discussões de como as cidades podem se preparar ou se adaptar para lidar com desastres naturais num contexto de eventos extremos. Resiliência urbana entende-se enquanto processo que envolve capacidades de aprendizado e adaptação com vistas à redução do risco de desastres naturais, ao retorno às funções desejadas e à melhoria da qualidade de vida das pessoas. Os escorregamentos configuram um dos desastres que mais causaram mortes no município de Santos, no litoral do Estado de São Paulo; no entanto, o número de vítimas fatais reduziu-se significativamente após a implementação do Plano Preventivo de Defesa Civil (PPDC) operado anualmente desde 1989. Entendendo que a Defesa Civil municipal é a instituição que lida diretamente com a questão dos desastres, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar os instrumentos relativos à gestão de risco de escorregamentos utilizados pela Defesa Civil de Santos e analisar a aplicação dos mesmos na promoção da resiliência urbana. A partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa que envolveu revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e pesquisa de campo, identificaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: Monitoramento Meteorológico; Carta de Suscetibilidade a Movimentos Gravitacionais de Massa e Inundações, Plano Municipal de Redução de Riscos e Carta Geotécnica Morros de Santos e São Vicente. Concluiu-se que a promoção da resiliência urbana pela Defesa Civil de Santos ocorre parcialmente, pois os instrumentos ainda estão em processo de implementação e desafios precisam ser superados como a articulação das secretarias municipais em prol da redução de risco. / The concept of urban resilience has entered discussions of how cities can prepare, adapt and deal with natural disasters in a context of extreme events. Urban resilience is understood as a process that involves learning and adaptation capabilities in order to reduce the risk of disasters, restore desired functions and improve quality of life. Landslides constitute one of the disasters that caused more deaths in the municipality of Santos (the São Paulo state coast), however, the number of fatalities dropped significantly after the implementation of the Civil Defense Preventive Plan (PPDC) operated annually since 1989. Taking into consideration that the municipal civil defense is the institution that deals directly with the issue of disasters, the aim of this research was to identify the instruments concerning the landslide risk management used by the Civil Defense and analyze their application in promoting urban resilience. From qualitative research including literature reviews, as well as document research and field research, the following instruments were identified: weather monitoring; a chart mapping susceptibility to gravitational mass movements and floods, a risk reduction plan and a geotechnical aptitude to an urbanization chart. In conclusion, the promotion of urban resilience by the Civil Defense of Santos is partially because the instruments are still in the implementation process and challenges need to be overcome as the articulation of municipal departments in favor of risk reduction.

Resultantes de decisões falhas, insuficientes ou inadequadas, quando da ocorrência desses eventos. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa tem origem na constatação do aumento dos desastres causados pelas enchentes no Brasil e na necessidade de analisar as políticas públicas instituídas para o enfrentamento dessas questões no país. O estudo parte do avanço da urbanização desordenada, característica comum das cidades brasileiras e do aumento das chuvas, que deflagram desastres que acabam por expor o modelo socioespacial segregacionista e excludente do território brasileiro. O Sistema Nacional de Defesa Civil - SINDEC configura-se como uma macrodiretriz de abrangência territorial federal que organiza e orienta as ações de defesa civil, as quais devem ser providas pelos estados e municípios brasileiros. Esse Sistema é apresentado pela Secretaria Nacional de Defesa Civil como um eixo condutor para ações de prevenção, preparo e socorro em situações de emergência. Dentre suas atribuições, destaca-se o trabalho empreendido para o enfrentamento e redução dos impactos das enchentes nos municípios. Esta tese dedicou-se a analisar as relações, influências e interseções do SINDEC no caso do Município de Capivari - SP. A pesquisa utilizou documentos oficiais publicados pelo Ministério da Integração Social, da Secretaria Nacional de Defesa Civil, documento oficial da administração pública local entrevista com os moradores e representantes do poder público. Também buscaram entrecruzar as contribuições do SINDEC no planejamento das ações que resultaram na remoção de famílias que habitavam áreas vulneráveis nos bairros pesquisados. O resultado da pesquisa demonstrou que todo o aparato organogramático e organizativo proposto pelo SINDEC só poderá ser efetivo se houver uma atuação dos órgãos de defesa civil na escala local. É a dimensão humana da atuação do SINDEC na escala municipal que poderá ser o elo integrador na busca de uma gestão integrada do território para as questões das enchentes urbanas / Abstract: The natural disasters are events associated with the effects of environmental changes but it relates to public administration. Insufficient and inadequate decisions result in failure in the event of a natural disaster. This is the main point of study in this thesis. Thus, this research is based on the observation of the increased number of disasters caused by floods in Brazil and the need to analyze public policies instituted to face these issues. The increase of rainfall which cause disasters that ultimately expose the socio segregationist and exclusionary model of the Brazilian territory, along with the sprawling of unplanned urbanization are the initial points of this thesis. The National System of Civil Defense - SINDEC configures itself as a territorial scope of federal rules that organize and guide the actions of civil defense, which should be provided by the states and municipalities. This system is presented by the National Civil Defense as a driving force for prevention, preparedness and relief in emergency situations. Among its responsibilities, we highlight the work undertaken to confront and reduce the impact of floods in municipalities. This thesis is devoted to analyze the relationships, influences and intersections of SINDEC in the Municipality of Capivari - SP. The research was based on official documents published by the Ministry of Social Integration, National Secretariat of Civil Defense, official documents of the local public administration, interviews with residents and government representatives. It also highlights the contributions of SINDEC in planning the removal of families living in vulnerable surveyed areas. The research results showed that the apparatus proposed by SINDEC's organizational chart can only be effective if the civil defense agencies would act on a local scale. It is the effectiveness of the human element at SINDEC at the municipal level that may be the link in search of the integrated management of urban flooding issues / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutor em Ciências

Presented diploma thesis is pursued to the topic of conceptual evolution of civil protection in the last century's 50's to 70's period. This period of time, population safety was secured by so called Civil Defence. Noticeable atribute of all the Civil Defence measures impacting population was mainly protection against mass destruction weapons. That is why protection against mass destruction weapons is given the most attention in this diploma thesis. Target of the thesis is historical analyse concerning Civil Defence and its evolution in Czechoslovakia in noted period. Out of it the thesis sketches also general formation and evolution of civil protection in previous period. Diploma thesis is done based on study of available literature and mainly based on accessible sources from military archive in Prague. Thesis is divided to six chapters, chronologically describing the most important milestones in Civil Defence conceptual evolution. Emphasis is laid on description of its organisational structure and way of population protection against mass destruction weapons. During studies of these sources, the emphasis was laid also on military evaluation of country territory according to level of expected threat by aerial attack that time, or later by nuclear weapon of mass destruction in case of war conflict....

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / During the early Cold War, 1949 through 1963, the federal government, through such agencies as the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA) (1950-1957), the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization (OCDM) (1958-1960), and the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) (1961-1963), regarded children and young adults as essential to American civil defense. Youth-oriented, voluntary organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), assisted the federal civil defense programs by promoting civil defense messages and agendas. In this thesis, I will explore how the GSUSA and BSA translated federal civil defense policies for their Scouts. What were the civil defense messages transmitted to Scouts during the early Cold War? How were those messages disseminated? Why? What was the social impact of BSA and GSUSA involvement with civil defense on America’s evolving national ideals?

Shelters have been a significant part of the Swedish civil defense for a long time. In times of war in Europe, questions have been raised regarding the 64,000 shelters in Sweden and the civil population’s access to them. This study aims to investigate civilians’ access to the Swedish shelters, as well as where demand is high and low and where new shelters might be needed. The study has been conducted through Location-allocation analyses in GIS. Findings show that the accessibility to shelters varies throughout the country and that shelters are most accessible in urban areas. The average time taken to walk to the closest shelter in Stockholm Municipality is approximately 2 minutes. Findings also show that there are many new urban areas in Stockholm County where there are no shelters, and that there are densification areas where new shelters could be of use and meet demand as well.

[pt] Com o crescimento dos efeitos causados pelos fenômenos naturais, cada vez mais os Estados são chamados a aplicar seus recursos disponíveis para amenizar o sofrimento humano. O aumento do emprego das Forças Armadas (FA) em apoio à Defesa Civil nas operações de resposta a desastres naturais acompanha a necessidade de incremento nas pesquisas da logística humanitária no âmbito militar. Consciente de que as lições aprendidas durante a resposta podem ser diretamente aplicadas em projetos futuros e nos esforços para redução do impacto dos desastres, este estudo tem por objetivo, sob a ótica da modelagem de processos, apresentar e analisar o emprego da Marinha do Brasil (MB) em operações de resposta a desastres. Para cumprir este objetivo, é realizado o mapeamento das ações realizadas pela MB, baseado nas legislações em vigor e no caso da operação de apoio às vítimas do desastre da região serrana do Rio de Janeiro em 2011, mais especificamente na cidade de Nova Friburgo. Na comparação destas análises com a literatura acadêmica, na qual são identificados 96 (noventa e seis) processos, verifica-se que 46 (quarenta e seis) não constam em legislações e 10 (dez) destes são realizados na operação real, mesmo não constando nas publicações internas. Através de tais resultados, busca-se subsidiar pesquisas sobre o tema no meio acadêmico, além de contribuir para elaboração de uma doutrina militar específica sobre o assunto, a fim de aumentar o intercâmbio entre os todos os agentes envolvidos e alcançar uma maior eficácia no apoio da MB nas operações humanitárias. / [en] With the growth of the effects caused by natural phenomena, more and more states are called upon to apply their available resources to alleviate human suffering. The increased use of the Armed Forces (AF) in support of civil defense in disaster response operations accompanying the need to increase research in humanitarian logistics in the military. Aware that the lessons learned during the response can be directly applied to future projects and efforts to reduce the impact of disasters, this study aims, from the perspective of process modeling, presenting and analyzing the use of the Brazilian Navy (BRN) in disaster response operations. To fulfill this objective, it is done the mapping of actions taken by the BRN, based on legislation in force and in the case of support to disaster victims in the mountainous region of operation in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, specifically in the city of Nova Friburgo. In comparing these analyzes with the academic literature, which are identified 96 (ninety-six) cases, it is found that 46 (forty-six) are not included in legislation and 10 (ten) of these are performed in the actual operation, even do not appear in internal publications. Through these results, we seek to support research on the topic in the academic world, and contribute to development of a specific military doctrine on the subject in order to increase the exchange between all stakeholders and achieve greater effectiveness in supporting MB in humanitarian operations.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva hur det system för ekonomisk beredskap som utvecklades iSverige inbegrep den inhemska textilindustrin. Uppsatsen beskriver om och på vilket sätt dennaindustri subventionerades av statliga medel. Undersökningen visar att under perioden 1972-1984erhöll svensk textilindustri minst 280 st avskrivningslån från Överstyrelsen för ekonomiskt försvarsom hjälp till finansiering av investeringar. Huvudsakligen avsåg investeringarna uppdatering avföretagens maskinpark vilket bidrog till att säkerställa Sveriges beredskap och försörjning av textilier iett läge av krig eller avspärrning.
