Assessing Risk and Social Vulnerability in Environmental Hazards Context

Assessing Risk and Social Vulnerability in Environmental Hazards Context The relevance and connections of the research to a wider academic context In Senegal, every year an increasing number of people [1] suffer from water-related hazards (coastal erosion and floods). Related risks are insufficiently studied, because they are complex and intertwined. They indeed jeopardize survival in these habitats that grapple with many other problems. This is the context that triggered my desire to develop a wide research which attempts to analysis the Risk and Social Vulnerability in Environmental Hazards Context. In effect, the question is insufficiently studied in Africa and in Senegal . In addition to the technical dimension, there is also a need for an in-depth analysis of concepts in use. Given that vulnerability feeds on poverty, the other concepts, to be dealt with, interact with risk, survival techniques and the search of sustainable solution . The dilemma of floods,...

One thing that can be noted is the kind of trivialization of the repetitive character of the information.

Et la contamination concerne 180 pays sur 193 que compte officiellement la planète Terre selon les statistiques du système des Nations unies qui en rajoute à peu près quatre pays reconnus. Disons 180/197 (entre 91 et 93 % des pays du monde ont été affectés par le Covid 19 au 10 avril 2020). Ce qui justifie la dénomination de pandémie. Pour qu’une maladie soit considérée comme une pandémie, on opère un suivi de la progression selon une distribution géographique du mal. Ce qui amène quotidiennement une répartition spatiale des cas affectés par la maladie, selon le pays ou le territoire où se manifeste la maladie. A la vitesse de manifestat...
