Analysis of Adaptation Measure Networks for Climate Disaster Management

Abstract

This study analyzed the interconnectivity of climate change adaptation measures in the water management, health, and disaster sectors. A survey encompassing inputs from 94 experts was conducted for the analysis. Then a social network analysis was performed, based on the results of the survey, using Netminer 4.0. The findings confirmed that climate change adaptation measures in the water management, health and disaster sectors are interconnected. In addition, the results demonstrated that adaptation measures across these sectors are effective at addressing interconnected risks of climate change. Findings from this study have value as they can be used to prepare climate change adaptation measures that reflect climate risk. It is also significant that clusters of climate change adaptation measures have been derived from the results of this study.
