Workshop Program
Spatial assessment and analysis of vulnerability
GIScience applied in the interdisciplinary domain of hazard and climate change research
Workshop within the framework of GI_Forum 2010
July 6-7, 2010
This theme is expected to highlight different developed and currently investigated methodologies to spatially assess vulnerability. It will specifically address the issue of vulnerability assessment, independent from conceptual discussions. The focus will be on the review and discussion of different methods of GIScience employed to assess, quantify and represent vulnerability as integrated spatial phenomena. Within a workshop session, current achievements and future research challenges will be identified and formulated.
