In this paper, we advance a conceptual framework proposed by Fraser (2007) and present a methodology for vulnerability assessment that seeks to take on the above challenges without compromising the depth of information being provided.
As such, a methodology of quantifying nuclear vulnerability is firstly established under varying both the magnitude and time instant of sudden stoppage of nuclear power operation.
The evaluation methodology of the seismic vulnerability of buildings from historic centers developed by the University of Padova was confirmed by in situ identification of failure mechanisms recorded in historic bearing structures from Timisoara.
We conducted a qualitative study based on interpretive description methodology to examine perceptions of vulnerability in relation to relief and reconstruction efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Lists and methodologies for measuring levels of vulnerability are given in Supplemental Material, Appendix C (http://www.ehponline.org/docs/2007/9332/suppl.pdf), and can be used in conjunction with the rankings in this list to develop specific methods.
In this paper, we first describe the design space of vulnerability evaluation methodology and discuss the measures of well-defined evaluation framework.
The approach has the potential to establish itself as a time-efficient preliminary vulnerability assessment methodology of structural members subjected to close-in blast loading.
The applicability and good fit of the results, when compared to previous studies, past events, or expert predictions, underlines that the proposed methodology provides a robust solution to the assessment of vulnerability in Bucharest.
Due to the multidimensional nature of vulnerability, there is no unique methodology to define it and to reduce this concept to a single equation (Birkmann 2006; Yoon 2012; Fatemi et al. 2017).
The ability to track success through time by mapping the community within the cube to specific periods of time after management implementation may also provide a useful methodology to test adaptation strategies and the understanding of vulnerability within the systems.
