Description

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics; Urban Management; Planning; University College London; language: English; abstract: This research seeks to enhance the disaster resilience of cities within the EAC by: (a) developing a data base of acute disasters that are common and likely to occur in cities within the EAC; (b) measuring the resilience of major cities within the EAC to these disasters; and (c) developing a framework for enhancing their resilience to potential hazards. It is important to conduct this study now because the present and projected demographic and geographic changes point to a future of continued: (a) rapid urbanization in developing countries ndash; like the EAC - and (b) escalation in the number of urban disasters. Document review and descriptive research will be used in the study with a sample size of 104 participants being selected from the cities of Dar es Salaam; Nairobi; Kampala; Kigali; and Mombasa. The collected data will be tested for inter-rater reliability; triangulated and instruments checked for content validity. Both measures of central tendency and measures of variability about the mean will be performed on the collected data.
