The Contribution of Geography to Improve Human Capacity Facing 

Natural Multi-Hazard Problem in Tropical Area

 

The tropical region faces complex risks due to its dynamic and diverse environmental conditions. Various natural hazards seem to have become part of the biogeophysical cycle. Hydro-meteorological hazards such as floods, droughts, and storms, as well as geological hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, can even disrupt human survival. Geography plays a strategic role in building human capacity to mitigate natural multi-hazards in tropical regions. Integrative geographical knowledge can strengthen resilience and responsiveness through the understanding the characteristics and physical vulnerabilities, sustainable resource management, risk-based approach in  development planning, educating communities in disaster-prone region, and developing disaster response and emergency systems. 

 

The 6th International Geography Seminar welcomes researchers and practitioners across the globe to present their latest and innovative research. This conference also aims to unite us in a scholarly community that contributes to the advancement of science for the greatest benefit of humankind.
