An interdisciplinary perspective on social and physical determinants of seismic risk by Lin, K.-H. E., Chang, Y.-C., Liu, G.-Y., Lin, T.-H., Yeh, C.-H., Chan, Chung-Han

“…While disaster studies researchers usually view risk as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, few studies have systematically examined the relationships among the various physical and socioeconomic determinants underlying disasters, and fewer have done so through seismic risk analysis. In the context of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs three statistical models to test different determinants that affect disaster fatality at the village level, including seismic hazard, exposure of population and fragile buildings, and demographic and socioeconomic vulnerability. …”
