VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Kubilay KaptanINTRODUCTION In recent years there has been an emergence in the literature on disasters that distinguishes the meaning of vulnerability, instead of holding a constrict focal point on the hazards themselves. Historically there has been a break up in disasters exercise which considers these two - hazards and vulnerability - as different fields, for each one with their own specialists. This establishes an effort to define what is intended by vulnerability especially crucial. The fundamental emergence is that people's personal features - their capabilities, resilience and vulnerabilities - are distinguished as a substantial component of the disaster equation. Furthermore, vulnerability demands to be evaluated in conditions of the derivative affects of several types of hazard affects, and operationalised so that the components that comprise vulnerabilty can be measured out and considered before a hazard affects. (Cannon, 1994:6) Vulnerability analysis is acquired by a browse of socio-economic advances to hazards and what could be called 'the disaster of casual life' (Blaikie and Cannon, 1994:4). Pelling's work on floods in Guyana sees vulnerability as 'an ongoing state rather than a status to be identified in intercourse to a particular hazardous case' (Pelling, 1997:12).
