No control on vulnerability assessment process V17.
However variability of features at a smaller scale is not reflected in this subjective vulnerability assessment process.
The vulnerability assessment process considers the resolution, information and limitations established for both the hazard and exposure models adopted.
There is considerable literature on the process of CCA in public health, which entails a process of vulnerability assessment; identification of how relevant exposures and population vulnerabilities are likely to shift; and preparation, implementation, and evaluation of adaptation plans (Ebi and Burton 2008; Ebi and Semenza 2008; Ebi et al. 2005, 2006a).
One of the main problems discussed in some of the analyzed studies is regarding the efficacy in the process of vulnerability assessment.
The paper also discusses the way in which the tools provided by the system aim to assist in the processes of infrastructure vulnerability assessment, mitigating discovered risks as well as strategic planning of city development.
Decision makers can find out relevant urban ecosystem vulnerability assessment results with different vulnerable attitude.
The latter clearly highlights the importance of specific vulnerability which is by nature linked with those processes and is regarded as the most integrated approach for vulnerability assessment; however, even in cases of intrinsic vulnerability assessment, those interactions should be indirectly taken into account to validation process, to acquire representative results with minimized errors.
Turner et al. (2003) state that the complexity of factors, processes and various requirements by society and stakeholders complicate a comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
Process-based methods and statistical methods are not commonly used for vulnerability assessment because they are constrained by data shortage, computational difficulty, and the expertise required for implementing them.
For least-developed countries, the process of completing a National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), which combines a vulnerability assessment and the development of adaptation activities, is a precursor to receiving adaptation financing through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
