Abstract:
Disasters can result in failed development, but failures in development planning can also lead to disaster risk, which is the case in most of the cities which are disaster prone in developing countries. The researcher has tried to respond to the unique challenge presented by the Indian cities which are earthquake and flood prone, by developing earthquake & flood damage scenario by utilising - appropriate damage assessment criteria after studying the literature survey, building and infrastructure inventories, topographical information, demographical data and other relevant facts and figures to propose an urban planning model to minimize the damages. The developed planning model has to be inserted in to master plan for future development of the area. The master plan should be integrated with the Disaster Management Structure. Conceptual Model based on the methodology of the research work can be utilised for similar towns.
