A Study on Tsunami Protection Works
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Coastal communities around the world are at risk to tsunami. The study was piloted to idealize the efficacy of sea wall in controlling the tsunami forces on onshore structures. In front of building model different types of sea walls were placed.To reduce the opposite of vulnerability and to increase community resilience, as resilience plays the opposite of vulnerability. This research article examined the planning capacity and social capacity to evaluate community resilience to the tsunami. The collected data is estimated under a framework which combines eight important resilience elements. These elements are governance, society and economy, resource management, land use and structural design, risk knowledge, warning and evacuation, emergency response and disaster recovery. Tsunami hazard risks are not well addressed and considered in plans and programs for the coastal community. This article will open a new horizon that can help to find the strength and weakness of disaster preparedness in community level. The resilience of coastal community to tsunami can be achieved through enhancing planning and social capacity.
