This study examines the effect of extreme climatic conditions (drought, flood, and bushfires) on the livelihood of households in the Bawku West district of Ghana. The research identified the mechanisms with which households cope in such situations, and analyzed factors influencing the adoption of coping strategies for flood, coping strategies for drought, and coping strategies for bushfires. Data for the study were collected in selected villages across the district in the aftermath of the 2007/2008 extreme climatic events (a prolonged drought period followed by an erratic rainfall). A binary logit regression (BLR) model was then specified to estimate factors that influence the adoption of a given coping mechanisms. Results from the BLR model indicate that literacy level, membership with an FBO, household income, and location of households had positive and significant impacts on adaptation to drought. Similarly, source of seeds for planting, membership with an FBO, household income, and farm size had positive significant influence on adaptation to flood. Adaption to bushfire was positively influenced by radio ownership, seed source and income. The main effect of these climatic extreme events on households included destruction of crops, livestock and buildings; food and water shortage; poor yield or harvest and limited fields for livestock grazing. Therefore, government policies should be geared towards creating revenue generating channels and in strengthening institutions that provide access to farm credit, readily available improve seeds and extension. Additionally, policies that expedite information dissemination through radio and other public media will enhance households’ adaptive capacity.

Pełny tekst źródłaIt is the intention of this work to open up new opportunities in remote sensing of fires from satellites by showing capabilities and limitations in the application of other spectral channels, in particular the 2.1 μm channel of MODIS, than the ones currently used. This channel is chosen for investigation as fires are expected to emit a significant amount of energy in this bandwidth and as it is available at a native resolution of 500 m on MODIS; double the resolution of the 3 μm and 11 μm channels. The modelling of blackbodies of typical bushfire temperatures shows that a fire detection method based on the 2.1 μm channel will not be able to replace the current methods. Blackbodies of temperatures around 600 to 700 K, that are common for smoldering fires, do not emit a great amount of energy at 2.1 μm. It would be hardly possible to detect those fires by utilizing the 2.1 μm channel. The established methods based on the 3 μm and 11 μm channels are expected to work better in these cases. Blackbodies of typically flaming fires (above 800 K) however show a very high emission around 2.1 μm that should make their detection using the 2.1 μm channel possible.
In order to develop a fire detection method based on the 2.1 μm channel, it is necessary to differentiate between the radiance caused by a fire of sub pixel size and the radiance of a pixel caused by the reflection of sunlight. This is attempted by using time series of past observations to model a reflectance value for a given pixel expected in absence of a fire. A fire detection algorithm exploiting the difference between the expected and observed reflectance is implemented and its detection results are compared to high resolution ASTER fire maps, the standard MODIS fire detection algorithm (MOD14) and burnt area maps. The detections of the method based on the 2.1 μm channel are found to correspond very well with the other three datasets. However, the comparison showed detections that do not align with MOD14 active fire detections but are generally aligned with burn areas. This phenomena has to be investigated in the future.

Pełny tekst źródłaDue to the common occurrence of bushfires in Australia, research has previously been conducted on this natural disaster and its long term consequences on individuals, families and communities. Children are particularly vulnerable and can experi ence side effects such as depression, anxiety and self destructive behaviours. Despite there being a large existing body of research on the consequences of this natural disaster, research has not been conducted on foster children and their experiences of l oss following bushfires. Foster children are not exempt from the adverse side effects of bushfires and may be at an added risk for psychological distress due to their previous experiences of trauma. This growing and vulnerable population should be represented in the literature. The present study aimed to explore the views of Child Protection employees on foster children s experiences of loss following bushfires. An interview guide was developed and the observations of seven Child Protection employees were obtained. Participants were questioned about foster children s behaviour and mental health during the evacuation and re covery periods of the 2019 Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island Bushfires. A thematic analysis was used to generate six themes from the data, which were organisation concern for loved ones and irreplaceable possessions sense of adventure re living the bushfire event anxiety and resilience'. The results suggest that whilst foster children did exhibit concern and some symptom s of anxiety, overall they demonstrated resilience and benefited from their carers organisation. The findings may have implications on the procedures undertaken by Child Protection agencies following bushfires.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe central argument of this thesis is that depictions of fire in literature, art, film and popular culture have demonstrated the capacity to shape community understandings of bushfire behaviour and may influence the way in which people respond to and behave during such emergencies. In support of this, the role that bushfire has played in popular culture is explored and the perpetuation of certain myths and understandings through a range of cultural expressions is examined. It is contended that these cultural artefacts can have a direct impact upon community understanding of bushfires, their place in the Australian landscape and — importantly — how the broader community respond to such events.
The work discerns the shift in attitude towards bushfire in such cultural expressions from the 19th century until the present day. One purpose of the research is to posit whether such influences may act as impediments to the delivery of community bushfire education programs.
The structure of the thesis incorporates an introductory review of relevant literature and theoretical material. As the study of the cultural interpretation of disaster in Australia is in its infancy, pertinent overseas research is examined that identifies theoretical models that may be applied to bushfires in Australia. In particular, the representation of bushfire in • visual art • children’s literature; • adult fiction; is examined in detail.
Primary texts and artistic works will be examined for evidence of the understandings about bushfire that they generate or sustain. These interpretations will be compared with scientific and experiential understandings of bushfire behaviour and to the limited literature in disaster studies that has examined myths and perceptions of such events.
In the visual arts, fire has an obvious attraction for practitioners, both during its impact and in its aftermath. There has been an evident revival of interest in fire as a theme in the late 20th and early 21st centuries parallel to the intense interest artists showed in these events at the end of the 19th century.
Juvenile literature in Australia has produced extensive manifestations of bushfire representations. Fire lends itself to depiction in this genre for a number of reasons. It has been used, for example, to locate stories in a distinctly Australian context. It provides the elements of danger and adventure that allow for the development of strong narratives. Finally, it has a bold visual element that lends itself to pictorial interpretations. There is significant theoretical support for the idea that knowledge learned at this stage of a person’s development is retained until much later in life.
Conversely, bushfire appears to be relatively unusual as the basis for adult fiction, although (particularly in the 19th century) it is often incorporated into the background landscape. There are only a handful of adult novels in which bushfire is central to the narrative, while there are many in which it forms part of the backdrop.

Pełny tekst źródłaFeuer ist ein wichtiger ökologischer Faktor für die Biokomplexität und den Fortbestand der westafrikanischen Savannen. Feuer kommt in westafrikanischen Savannen - insbesondere wegen des hohen Bevölkerungsdrucks infolge des starken Bevölkerungswachstums – immer häufiger vor. Es wird sowohl zur Umwandlung natürlicher Savannen in landwirtschaftliche Flächen als auch als Energielieferant verwendet. Diese Studie wurde mit der Unterstützung des BIOTA-Projekts durchgeführt, das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF, gefördert wird. Ziel dieser Dissertation ist die Bestimmung der räumlichen und zeitlichen Verteilung von Buschfeuern während eines langen Beobachtungszeitraumes (2000-2009) sowie die Kartierung von Brandschäden zum Verständnis der Auswirkung von Feuer auf die lokale Vegetationsstruktur. Fernerkundungs- sowie Felddaten werden in dieser Arbeit verwertet. Fernerkundungsdaten wurden für diese Studie verwendet, da sie größere Flächen abdecken und die Daten über längere Zeiträume in verschiedenen Maßstäben zur Verfügung stehen. Daten des Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-Satelliten mit einer Auflösung von 1 km wurden verwendet, um in regelmäßigen Abständen aktive Feuer zu kartieren und die saisonale Verteilung von Feuern, ihr Vorkommen und ihre Häufigkeit nach Vegetationstyp zu bestimmen. Mit Landsat ETM+ Satellitendaten (Auflösung von 30 Metern) und Felddaten wurden auf einem lokalen Maßstab Brandschadensklassen definiert. Mittels der Biomasse-Felddaten wurde dann der Biomasse-Verlust abgeschätzt. Die Feuerhäufigkeit, mittels Satellitendaten ermittelt, und der Niederschlag pro Monat zeigen eine sehr gute Korrelation (R2 = 0.951, r = -0.878, P < 0.01). Daraus lässt sich schließen, dass Feuer bevorzugt in den Monaten vorkommen, in denen es wenig Niederschlag gibt und umgekehrt. Auf regionaler Ebene wurden innerhalb der Trockenzeit vier Feuer-Perioden identifiziert; ‚sehr frühe Feuer’, die am Anfang der Feuersaison entstehen, ‚frühe bis späte Feuer’, die den Höhepunkt der Feueraktivität im Dezember/Januar bilden, und ‚sehr späte Feuer’ am Ende der Feuersaison bis zum Beginn der Regenzeit. Es zeigte sich, dass eine beträchtliche Feueraktivität in den Vegetationszonen zwischen dem Regenwald und der Sahelzone vorherrscht. Besonders wiesen Teile der ‚Sudan-Guinea’- und der ‚Guinea’-Savanne eine hohe Feuerpixel-Frequenz auf, d.h. hier traten Feuer in vielen Jahren am selben Ort auf. Diese hohe Pixelfrequenz wurde auch in den meisten Schutzgebieten in diesen Savannen-Gebieten gefunden. Was die Landbedeckung betrifft, so ergaben die Ergebnisse, dass das höchste Feueraufkommen in den laubabwerfenden Waldgebieten und im laubabwerfenden Buschland vorkam. Die Brandschäden, bzw. der Einwirkungsgrad, wurden im lokalen Maßstab untersucht. Hier korrelierten die Felddaten zur Brandeinwirkung signifikant mit den sogenannten ΔNBR-Index-Werten, die von Landsat-Aufnahmen des Pendjari-Nationalparks hergeleitet wurden (R2 = 0,76). Der Korrelationskoeffizient nach Pearson ist r = 0,84, und nach Spearman-Rho ist der Koeffizient r = 0,86. Bei sehr niedrigen Brandschäden (mit ΔNBR-Werten zwischen 0 und 0,40) war die Vegetation schwach beeinträchtigt (0-35 % Biomasseverlust), während die Vegetation bei mäßigen und hohen Brandschäden sehr beeinträchtigt war und bis zu 100 % der Biomasse verbrannt war; hier lag der ΔNBR zwischen 0,41 und 0,99. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, dass durch Satellitenbilder die Verteilung von Feuern über größere Flächen in der afrikanischen Savanne effektiv bestimmt werden kann, und dass der Normalized Burn Ratio-Index auf Westafrika zur Berechnung von Brandschadens-Klassen anwendbar ist. Die Ergebnisse liefern einen entscheidenden Beitrag zum Verständnis von Feuer-Ausprägungen in Westafrika, um letztlich den Einsatz von Feuer, auch im Hinblick auf den Klimawandel und die Veränderungen in der Vegetationsdiversität, verbessern zu können
