Long Term Consequences of Disasters: The Reconstruction of Friuli,Italy, in Its International Context, 1976-1988 - Couverture rigide
Livre 14 sur 30: Springer Series on Environmental Management
Synopsis
This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and prac- titioners concerned with the principles and applications of enviromental manage- ment. Each volume is a thorough treatmt'nt of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable resources. For we must act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results or imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The region of Friuli/Italy was destroyed in an earthquake in 1976. The author of this book, a geographer, has studied the process of reconstruction in its many facets over the course of the subsequent 12 years and is offering his observations in the form of this comprehensive case study which serves as a useful model for other cases of disaster management. His analysis ranges from social aspects to demographics on civil engineering approaches and long-term economic sta- tistics, and follows all stages of recovery.
