VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Kubilay KaptanCONCLUSIONS Reducing disaster risks is a proactive approach which should be incorporated in evolution of planning and program, to reduce the poverty at all levels. The evolution of sectoral strategies and poverty decrease is to distinguish that disasters do not just setbacks and obstacles to development but the result of how the development is in progress. Thus, by changing the planning and the incorporation of disaster risk assessment in the preparation of all new development projects, natural hazards encounter resilient communities that are able to resist the impact and therefore persist as simple emergencies are disasters. As you can see by the parts of the article, we placed five factors in the spectrum of susceptibleness to very safe and complex mixture of different types: individual, social and economic nature, the political risk for those who may be exposed. These hard risk usually include certain technical measures such as early warning systems and physical structures such as dams and shelters against cyclones, and soft socio-economic factors such as income distribution, access to subsistence resources, discrimination in the receipt of aid.
