ABSTRACT: Rapid post-disaster assessment of bridges in near-fault regions plays an important role in saving time for earthquake relief and advancing post-disaster reconstruction. To predict the seismic response and structural damage fragility of near-fault bridges quickly and accurately, a deep learning-based rapid prediction method for the seismic response and fragility of near-fault bridges is proposed to rapidly predict the nonlinear seismic response and fragility curves of bridges under near-fault impulsive seismic effects. The method is based on a unidirectional multilayer stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network with two parts of the seismic response time history and peak response as the output of the model. Furthermore, the techniques of sliding time window, residual connection, and constrained cyclic kernel, which effectively capture the pulse-like ground motion inputs and the bridge responses (e. g., pier bottom bending moments, pier bottom curvature, and top of pier displacements), are employed. The nonlinear mapping between the pulse-like ground motion inputs and bridge responses (e.g., pier bottom bending moment, pier bottom curvature, and pier top displacement) is accurately predicted based on the probabilistic seismic demand model. Considering the Miaoziping Bridge damaged by the Wenchuan earthquake as an actual engineering research object, based on the OpenSees numerical model, a database of 619 near-fault ground motions, corresponding nonlinear seismic responses, and bridge susceptibility is established to verify the accuracy and rapidity of the proposed method. The results show that the LSTM model can predict the response over a long period of time with multiple outputs and can accurately capture the seismic response demand of bridge structures under impulsive seismic effects. In the peak response prediction, the bending moment index has the best prediction effect, and the mean and standard deviation of the ratio of the predicted value to the actual value are less than 1. 03 and 0. 12, respectively, followed by the displacement index and curvature index. The results of the predicted fragility curve and actual results are very close to each other, with a coefficient of determination of 0. 97 and a maximum difference of 1. 92% in the probability of failure. The time required for this method and traditional method is approximately 1 s and 66 h, respectively. The fast fragility prediction method proposed in this study has high accuracy and rapidity, and it can provide strong theoretical support for post-disaster bridge assessment. © (2025), (Chang'an University).

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the seismic damage patterns of school buildings in the seismic area of the 2023 Ms6.2 earthquake in Jishishan through field surveys and structural performance analysis. A detailed survey of 50 school buildings revealed that reinforced concrete frame structures generally demonstrated code-compliant seismic performance, with predominantly slight to moderate damage concentrated in nonstructural components, whereas masonry structures exhibited damage severity strongly correlated with construction quality and seismic detailing practices. Critical failure mechanisms were identified in longitudinal walls near window openings and irregular wall configurations around doorways, with material-specific damage patterns showing autoclaved aerated concrete block walls failing from fracture versus clay brick walls developing joint cracks. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of post-Wenchuan earthquake code revisions in preventing structural collapse, although significant economic losses resulted from repairable infill wall damage. These findings provide practical insights for improving seismic resilience in school building design and reconstruction. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to the Iran University of Science and Technology 2025.

ABSTRACT: The evolution of traditional rural settlements is a dynamic process. During urbanization, traditional rural settlements, as dual carriers of natural and cultural heritage, face the structural contradiction between preservation and development. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake caused systemic damage to the Linpan settlements in western Sichuan. The post-seismic reconstruction (2008-) and rural revitalization (2017-) phases have offered a unique case for exploring sustainable cultural landscape patterns. This study innovatively devises a “preservation–development” dual-system evaluation framework. Using the coupling coordination degree model, it analyzes the characteristics of Linpan at different stages within a composite cultural–economic–social system. The study found that while tangible carriers can be quickly repaired through financial support, intangible culture is often at risk of losing its inheritors. Over 60% of Linpan depend on government support, exposing the fragility of “dependence-based development”, and few achieve high-quality “preservation–development” synergy (coupling coordination degree D > 0.8). Most remain in a “preservation lag–development obstruction” cycle (D < 0.5). This paper explores ways to balance Linpan preservation and development dynamically and suggests creating a self-cycling “resource empowerment–cultural identity–value transformation” development pattern. It provides a theoretical reference for cultural heritage preservation and disaster resilience building and contributes a unique solution for the revitalization of traditional settlements. © 2025 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Postdisaster housing reconstruction is a long-term process that includes planning, rebuilding, relocation, and evaluation. True insights into the living conditions of disaster survivors emerge only in the later stages of reconstruction. However, short-term rebuilding and resettlement often attract more attention, while the long-term outcomes are frequently overlooked. This paper, based on the researchers' extensive involvement in the post-Wenchuan Earthquake reconstruction in Dujiangyan City, uses data from the local government's reconstruction management committee for policy review, spatial analysis, and resettlement benefit evaluation. Field research, surveys, and household interviews were conducted in five rural communities to assess the policies, implementation, and outcomes of the reconstruction. The results showed that: (1) during the reconstruction period following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, the reconstruction efforts in rural areas exhibited relatively good completion rates and short-term resettlement benefits but limited survivor participation and challenges in livelihood recovery in the later stages; (2) despite low perceived benefits in participation and livelihood recovery, survivors showed high overall satisfaction, likely due to insufficient postearthquake funds and energy among the survivors, strong government intervention, and support for reconstruction policies; (3) livelihood sustainability of relocated residents needs more attention, as many lost access to farming and faced increased living costs; and (4) even when the same reconstruction model is applied, there can be significant differences in the implementation of reconstruction across different communities. unified planning self-reconstruction model tends to increase survivors' financial and energy costs but also allows for greater participation and freedom, making it easier for residents to adapt to postreconstruction life. In contrast, government-led unified planning model often requires lower direct financial costs from the survivors, but offers limited participation and freedom, with the reconstruction process more heavily influenced by government decisions. As a result, the effectiveness of reconstruction may vary significantly between communities, posing challenges for effective government planning and decision-making. © 2025 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster rapid recovery and reconstruction, along with the evaluation of these efforts, are crucial for affected areas. They not only facilitate the swift repair of vulnerable systems but also reflect whether the recovery work has enhanced regional coordinated development. This is vital for achieving sustainable development post-reconstruction. This study addresses two main questions: (1) How effective were the recovery and reconstruction efforts in Mianyang, Deyang, and Guangyuan post-Wenchuan earthquake from a socio-economic–ecological system perspective? (2) What are the temporal and spatial changes in the Coordinated Development Index (CDI) of key affected counties? By constructing a framework to assess post-disaster coordinated development, this study utilized the entropy weight method and mean-variance method for the comprehensive weighting of evaluation indicators. The gray system prediction model G(1,1) was used to forecast the coordinated development levels of the three cities from 2019 to 2025. The findings reveal the following: (1) From 2005 to 2018, the CDI of Deyang, Guangyuan, and Mianyang showed a significant upward trend. Post-earthquake reconstruction measures like land planning and ecological restoration notably enhanced regional resilience and promoted coordinated development among social, economic, and ecological systems. (2) Despite overall success in reconstruction, disparities in development levels persist among Mianyang, Deyang, and Guangyuan. Predictions suggest that Deyang, Mianyang, and Guangyuan will achieve high-quality coordinated development in the next 5, 2, and 1 years, respectively. (3) Although significant achievements have been made through industrial restructuring, land reuse planning, and ecological restoration, more precise disaster prevention and mitigation strategies are needed to foster coordinated development among social, economic, and ecological systems. In summary, this study evaluates the post-disaster recovery effects in the hardest-hit areas of the Wenchuan earthquake and forecasts future development, providing a reference for similar post-disaster reconstruction areas in assessing and predicting coordinated development. © 2025 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Disaster caused place destruction and reconstruction affects residents' place attachment. How place attachment is restored over the long term during post-disaster recovery remains a critical but understudied topic within disaster literature. This study examined a town severely affected by the Wenchuan earthquake in China, evaluating the changes in physical and social conditions and their influence on residents' place attachment during long-term recovery. Using structural equation modeling, this research identified that the residential environment and social capital significantly affect both place dependence and place identity. Post-disaster tourism significantly impacts place dependence, and the cultural capital of disaster resilience significantly influences place identity. Furthermore, place dependence mediates the relationships between the residential environment and place identity, as well as between post-disaster tourism and place identity. The findings offer both theoretical and practical insights into restoring residents' place attachment during long-term post-disaster recovery. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: The present approaches for disaster recovery assessment most often solely concentrate on the tangible outcomes officially documented by local authorities. Therefore, they face shortcomings in addressing impacted populations' complex experiences and perspectives. Top-down disaster recovery evaluation methods emphasize macro-level variables, including infrastructure restoration and economic revitalization. Conversely, bottom-up evaluation methodologies emphasize community-level perceptions, including recovery assessment, residents' emotional well-being, and satisfaction. By integrating top-down and bottom-up disaster recovery assessment methods, this study seeks to close this knowledge gap and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the disaster recovery assessment approaches that followed the 2008 Wenchuan and 2003 Bam earthquakes in China and Iran. This study found that while Wenchuan's recovery benefited from a more structured and comprehensive approach, insufficient public involvement presented significant challenges. In contrast, Bam's reliance on community participation underscored the significance of meticulous planning and accountability in attaining long-term recovery success. Temporal recovery trends over reconstruction years in Wenchuan revealed that recovery trends varied throughout the region. The local government's main priority was rehabilitating the built environment and infrastructure. However, the public regarded social and economic recovery as more important factors for a successful recovery after a disaster. Thus, it is imperative to prioritize comprehensive planning to balance long-term social and economic development strategies and immediate infrastructure needs. Integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches allows policy-makers and local stakeholders to understand better the relationships between macro-level recovery trends and micro-level recovery perceptions. This way, disaster recovery projects may expect fostered recovery plans that sustainably meet both parties' needs. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: This study asks how specters have made disaster sites enchanting and important places of dark tourism, resonating with the history of the site and reconciling its current existence. The research is situated in Yingxiu town, the epicenter of the 7.8-magnitude 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. Yingxiu is filled with haunted stories of the preserved ruins, but also carefully presented to tourists as a memorial and museum space. Drawing on the framework of spectral geography and hauntology, the article analyzes how disaster ruins serve as an extended expression of multiple temporalities, a space of affects shared by different agencies. Different yet intersecting interpretations of the three kinds of specters, including the spirits of the martyrs, purified souls, and invisible lives, have co-constructed the uniqueness and powerfulness of this monumental place of great death and rebirth. The persistent negotiation and rewriting of Yingxiu as a spectral site have cultivated alternative, materialized, and evocatively affirmative representations of the part of history significant and poignant at the same time. Thus, dark tourism can function as a rite of passage and provide a liminal space for community rebuilding and the reincorporation of one’s social life.

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of an earthquake inflicts significant damage on society, necessitating comprehensive management aligned with the specific context of the country. This chapter delves into the Wenchuan Earthquake that occurred in Sichuan, China, presenting a content analysis of how both the Chinese government and civil society contributed to the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken area. The analysis encompasses the roles played by Chinese authorities and their operations, the command dynamics involving the military in during-and post-earthquake search-and-rescue efforts, foreign contributions in terms of rescue efforts and donations, as well as the role of the local populace. Key findings underscore the crucial role played by foreign entities in the rescue operations, and the global media’s positive recognition of China’s transparency during the earthquake. However, challenges such as the unequal distribution of resources and misappropriation of donations surfaced in the government’s relief efforts, highlighting the need for the central government to address issues related to resource mobilization efficiency, transparency in fund distribution, and allegations of corruption among officials to uphold its credibility. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.

ABSTRACT: In order to further evaluate the potential application of seismic deposits in post disaster reconstruction, typical deposits at Nanhua tunnel and Panlongshan tunnel after the Wenchuan earthquake were used as a basis to obtain key physical and mechanical parameters such as cohesion, internal friction angle, optimal moisture content, and maximum dry density through indoor experiments. On the basis, five sets of geotechnical centrifuge model tests were designed and carried out under different working conditions, focusing on exploring the influence mechanism of moisture content changes and particle size distribution characteristics on the stability and deformation behavior of the subgrade. At the same time, numerical simulation methods were used to analyze the settlement and stability of subgrade. The results show that the two deposits have the characteristics of high coarse particle content, large pores but good grading. The CBR test results show that the deposits have good bearing performance and high road capacity after compaction. During the filling process, there is horizontal displacement on the lower slope surface, and the settlement decreases significantly with the increase of compaction degree. Under the action of earthquake loads, the middle and lower slopes are prone to collapse and damage, with a low safety factor, and the effective support and protective measures are urgently needed. The research results can provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for road reconstruction projects in post disaster accumulation areas. © 2025, Editorial Department of Journal of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has introduced new interactive methods for historical memory and immersive experiences, yet it still faces challenges such as insufficient interaction between individual and collective memory, limitations of static scenes, and imperfect multimodal design. To address these issues, this project proposes a VR memory reconstruction system based on 3D scanning and point cloud technology. Taking the historical context of China in 2008 as a foundation, the system explores the multidimensional expression of social memory by reconstructing major events such as the Beijing Olympics and the Wenchuan Earthquake. This system provides an innovative immersive experience tool for historical education and public awareness, enabling the dynamic reconstruction of historical scenes and the integration of individual and collective memory. It helps students and the public gain a more intuitive and profound understanding of the complexity and emotional depth of historical events, thereby enhancing the appeal of historical education and the public’s cognitive level of history. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

ABSTRACT: While “planetary boundaries” have become the focus of international research, Chinese scholars have been committed to studying the natural carrying capacity (NCC) at both national and regional scales. China's population exploded in the 1970s, and research on how many people the land could support became the basis for family planning decisions. The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake raised the need for debate on the scale and site selection of post-disaster reconstruction, prompting a renewed focus on NCC research. With the application of NCC research in spatial planning and policies, research on China's NCC continues to flourish. Progress has been made: the expression of the original, remaining, and potential value of NCC, the differentiated carrying capacity evaluation methods oriented towards different territorial functions, the territorial function suitability generated from the extension of NCC, and the monitoring and early warning of regional sustainability based on changes in NCC. It also finds that the distribution of China's water and land resources mismatch, ​the environmental capacity is overloaded in urbanized areas, and over half of the country has a relatively high ecological sensitivity, posing great challenges to China's future modernization. Other than technological progress and environmental governance, methods of artificially increasing the NCC pose ecological risks. © 2023 The Authors

ABSTRACT: This study applies the causal loop analysis grounded in the system dynamics methodology to examine the underlying drivers of the Paired Assistance Policy (PAP) in post-disaster reconstruction after the Chinese Wenchuan earthquake. The findings reveal that the PAP fosters coordination among diverse stakeholders operating at multiple governmental tiers and across various sectors. This coordination promotes immediate recovery and introduces an innovative mechanism that supports the long-term development of both the assisting and assisted entities. The study also identifies the potential risks associated with the competitive performance system among the assisting parties. Furthermore, this study also examines the conditions necessary for the effective implementation of the PAP in non-centralized governance contexts. By exploring capacity building of local authorities, public–private partnerships and adaptation to cultural and social contexts, the findings contribute to a broader understanding of how the PAP can be adapted across different institutional and policy environments worldwide. © 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

ABSTRACT: To estimate the water demands of water distribution systems (WDSs) after earthquakes, a new method is proposed in this study to model the post-earthquake water demands of different user nodes in WDSs, relying on urban land use maps and resident population distribution. The method considers three key restoration phases: rescue, refuge, and reconstruction. The spatial distribution of post-earthquake population in various land parcels is first determined based on the empirical models of earthquake evacuees and casualties. Then, the water demands of a land parcel are estimated by multiplying the parcel's area by the corresponding post-earthquake water demand indices, along with the sum of water demands for ordinary residents, injured individuals, and evacuees in the land parcel. To allocate the water demands of different land parcels to user nodes, the service areas of different user nodes are determined using Thiessen polygons. Finally, the water demands of a land parcel are allocated to user nodes based on the percentage of the parcel's area within the service areas of the user nodes. The proposed method is applied to a WDS currently operating in a typical city located in high seismic intensity region. The numerical results, in terms of the water demands of the whole network and different user nodes, are compared with those obtained from two existing methods. The influence of seismic intensity on the water demands of different user nodes is also investigated in this study. The numerical results show that in the proposed method, the post-earthquake water demands of WDSs increase in the three restoration phases, which is consistent with the post-earthquake survey of WDSs after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, indicating the rationality of the proposed modeling method. © 2024

ABSTRACT: After a large-scale hazard, residents in the off-site reconstruction area need to reestablish their place attachments after facing devastating damage to both physical and psychological environments. Therefore, investigating the satisfaction of residents who migrate to a new environment is essential. An explorative research in new Beichuan was conducted with 416 responses in 2022, which was the only off-site reconstruction county in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. This study aims to investigate residential satisfaction and social ties and explore the pathway of external environmental perception, place attachment, and perceived geological disaster risk by the structural equation model. Results revealed that residents in new Beichuan were generally satisfied with their residential environment, which was positively related to place attachment. Social ties positively predicted place attachment and negatively predicted perceived disaster risk. Place attachment mediated the relationship between residential satisfaction and perceived geological disaster risk, and the relationship between social ties and perceived disaster geological risk. Policymakers should carefully consider residents’ requirements and lifestyles during the reconstruction after geological disasters and create a livable environment and social space to help post-disaster migrants rebuild their place attachments. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Due to significant differences between urban and rural areas in terms of geographical environment, building scale, resident culture, social organization and other aspects, the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction models for both exhibit substantial variation. This study identifies critical strategic issues that must be addressed in housing reconstruction in the context of different social structures of urban–rural “integration” and urban–rural “dualization” to achieve the goal of “building back better” in the future. Design/methodology/approach: By taking the experience of the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake and the Taiwan 9.21 earthquake as a reference, this study provides a thematic analysis and systematic summary of the entire process of post-disaster housing reconstruction. Findings: A successful housing reconstruction process should actively engage disaster-affected populations through participatory institutional design. Providing a diverse housing reconstruction model can coordinate the interests of the government, the market and affected individuals, promoting harmony of residential, productive and ecological functions. However, it can also lead to the division of existing communities. Research limitations/implications: This research relies on existing literature, government publications, academic studies and news reports, which may carry inherent biases or omissions. Future research can benefit from conducting more extensive and long-term post-reconstruction surveys to assess the sustained impact of recovery efforts while also considering additional data sources to ensure comprehensive and unbiased analyses. Practical implications: With the support of post-disaster reconstruction policies, diverse changes in land use can lead to urban and rural spatial pattern reform and sustainable regional development, providing a reference for formulating optimal strategies. Social implications: This study carries significant societal implications by addressing critical strategic issues in housing reconstruction within varying urban–rural social structures. It highlights the importance of engaging affected populations through participatory design and harmonizing government, market and individual interests. The research introduces strategies for activating rural construction land quotas and creating new funding sources, promoting sustainable regional development. Its findings contribute to post-disaster reconstruction models, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders, ultimately leading to more effective and inclusive recovery efforts and benefiting disaster-prone areas worldwide. Originality/value: This research primarily investigates the market circulation patterns of urban and rural land under different social structures, delves into the strategies for sources of housing reconstruction funding, along with an assessment of their effectiveness. © 2024, Emerald Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: Existing models for assessing the indirect economic impact of disasters typically focus on the economic impact of post-disaster reconstruction and ignore the repercussions of the periodic characteristics of disaster management; thus, these models rarely capture the full indirect economic impact of disasters. In response, this study develops the TransIRIO model, which captures the amplified impacts of emergency rescue, transportation interruption and reconstruction on demand during the emergency - recovery - reconstruction. The balancing of adaptive behaviours, such as creating an inventory buffer, price elasticity, import/export control strategies, and distribution optimization is explored, and the intelligent response behaviour of interregional industrial entities in post-disaster management is assessed. We apply the TransIRIO model to simulate the propagation of impacts across 31 provinces in mainland China following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. Our results found that previous assessment models that did not consider specific social activities during emergency rescue underestimated the indirect economic impact of disasters to some extent, and that underscored the importance of incorporating the spatially distributed and networked characteristics of transportation systems into supply-demand chain-based economic models. This study not only presents a novel approach to economic modelling but also provides valuable insights for policymakers and researchers engaged in post-disaster recovery planning. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake strongly disturbed the earth surface and induced sufficient loose debris in the mountain basin, which supplies sufficient solid materials for debris flow initiation. Recently, a catastrophic debris flow was induced by strong rainfall on June 26, 2023 in the Banzi basin. Inconsistent with the first few years of the Wenchuan earthquake, the hillslope landslide sediment supply for debris flow occurrence is limited after 15 years of the Wenchuan earthquake, and the materials supplied for debris flow in the later period are mainly obtained from alluvium deposited along the channel. Simultaneously, this debris flow was triggered by flash flood through strongly erosion channel materials. However, although 15 years have passed since the Wenchuan earthquake, the triggering rainfall conditions have still not returned to pre-earthquake level. This debris flow first initiated in the upper branches of the basin and then gradually transported downstream at an average discharge of 806.99 m3/s, and approximately 82.80 × 104 m3 solid materials were transported out the Banzi basin to form a debris flow fan with length of 120 m and width of 260 m in the Minjiang River, which poses a serious threat to the resettled population and destroy the reconstruction infrastructures. Importantly, there are still sufficient solid materials deposited in the basin, this could result in debris flow activity continuing for an unpredictable time. Therefore, implementation early warning, prevention, and mitigation measures in this basin are still important for debris flow disaster management in the later period of Wenchuan earthquake. © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.

ABSTRACT: The suddenness and destructive power of earthquake disasters pose significant threats to ecosystems. Understanding the changes in post-earthquake ecosystem services and the complex relationships of their trade-offs and synergistic effects is crucial for post-disaster recovery and achieving a holistic and sustainable balance of human well-being. However, quantifying post-disaster ecosystem services and these intricate relationships, as well as probing the mechanisms behind their formation from a spatial perspective, remain challenging. This study presents a comprehensive framework that integrates spatial statistical methods, the InVEST model, geodetectors, and the Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression model (MGWR) to quantify trade-offs and synergistic effects among ecosystem services before and after earthquakes, and to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of these relationship effects with various driving factors. Results indicate (1) Typical ecosystem services, that is, water yield, soil conservation, carbon storage, and habitat quality, have more weak trade-off effects and fewer synergistic effects. These relationship intensities vary considerably spatially, demonstrating some agglomerative distribution, suggesting that the ecosystem has not yet recovered to a good state after the quake; (2) The impact of different factors on the trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services varies. Interaction effects of driving factors are stronger than singular effects. Relationships between soil conservation and other ecosystem services are primarily influenced by topography and climate. Relationships involving carbon storage are mainly affected by vegetation and climate, while those concerning habitat quality are attributed mostly to human and climatic factors; (3) In the modeling process, considering the different spatial scales of driving factors, MGWR outperforms the Geographically Weighted Regression in explaining the relationship between ecosystem services and driving factors. Moreover, several spatially feasible and targeted ecological measures are proposed to enhance the synergy among ecosystem services. By focusing on the changes in ecosystem services, this study reveals the intrinsic mechanisms of trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services, offering insights for related studies in other regions. © 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster recovery is an important indicator for evaluating the resilience of earthquake recov⁃ ery. The difference in the number of jobs provided by different regional economic sectors would have a significant impact on the resilience of post-disaster recovery. With longitudinal,parcel-level data on household units that are gathered in a survey in the Wenchuan(N=363)and Beichuan(N=373)Counties,which are the counties most af⁃ fected by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China,the effect of regional industrial structure on the resilience of earthquake recovery is explored. The results reveal that during the recovery process,the cumulative recovery rate of Beichuan is consistently lower than that of Wenchuan because of the different numbers of migrant-worker house⁃ holds whose recovery velocities much slower than those of local-worker households. The main source of funding for the recovery and reconstruction of these affected families is to be migrant workers,but family members are unable to participate in the recovery and reconstruction for a long time,resulting in slow recovery from the disaster. There are more than eight times as many migrant-worker households in Beichuan(49. 60%)than those in Wenchuan (5. 79%) due to their different regional industrial structure. The primary industry in Beichuan accounts for 27. 20%,while in Wenchuan the ratio of the primary industry is 8. 40%. With primary industries as the main type of industry,Beichuan has a relatively higher surplus labor force,whose members are by necessity migrant work⁃ ers. Although the earthquake has a relatively small impact on agriculture,it is extremely difficult to obtain funds for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction because of the low and single source of household income in areas with developed agricultural industries,making these areas the least resilient and most difficult to recover. There⁃ fore,it is necessary to vigorously improve disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities,and we can also improve resilience through industrial restructuring. © 2024 Shaanxi Earthquake Agency.

ABSTRACT: After an earthquake, efficiently and accurately acquiring information about damaged buildings can help reduce casualties. Earth observation data have been widely used to map affected areas after earthquakes. However, fine post-earthquake assessment results are needed to manage recovery and reconstruction and to estimate economic losses. In this paper, for quantification and precision purposes, a method of earthquake-induced building damage information extraction incorporating multi-source remote sensing data is proposed. The method consists of three steps： (1) Analysis of multisource features that describe texture, colour, and geometry, (2) rough set theory is carried out to further determine the feature parameters, (3) Logistic regression model (LRM) was built to describe the relationship between the occurrence and absence of destroyed buildings within an individual object. Old Beichuan County (centered at approximately 31.833︒N, 104.459° E), China, the area most devastated by the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, is used to test the proposed hypothesis. Multi-source remote sensing imagery include optical data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, and digital surface model (DSM) data generated by interpolating light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point cloud data. Through comparison with the ground survey, the experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the proposed method is 94.2 %; the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is 0.827. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated using 6 modes of data combination acquired from the same area in old Beichuan County. The approach is one of the first attempts to extract damaged buildings through the fusion of three types of data with different features. The approach addresses multivariate regression methodologies and compares the potential of features for application in the damage detection field. © 2024

ABSTRACT: Earthquakes can generate large amounts of co-seismic landslide debris and unstable hillslopes, which supply abundant material sources for subsequent debris flow activities, leading to a significant increase in debris flow risk in post-seismic years. On 5 September 2022, a Mw 6.8 earthquake struck Luding County in the mountainous region of Southwestern China. To mitigate the risk of post-earthquake debris flows to infrastructure and reconstruction planning efforts in the earthquake-affected area, it is crucial to determine the location and magnitude of post-earthquake debris flow. Based on the dataset of debris flow activities for more than 10 years after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, we captured the dominant factors controlling the post-earthquake debris flow activity and developed a predictive model for the post-earthquake debris flow activity by multiple machine learning methods. Subsequently, we used the predictive model and transfer learning method to identify high-susceptibility areas for debris flows following the 2022 Luding earthquake. A volume indicator of transportable material sources (PV<inf>L</inf>) by coupling with the connectivity and the co-seismic landslide was proposed to further quantify the magnitude of debris flows. The results indicate that approximately 70% of the catchments in the Luding earthquake-affected area would remain at a slight or low debris flow activity level, while the catchments with high and very high activity are mainly located in the Moxi-Xinmin section. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for mitigating the risk of post-earthquake debris flow and developing effective strategies for reconstruction efforts. © The Author(s) 2024.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction provide an effective way to reduce the disaster vulnerability of, and promote leapfrog development in, an affected area. To date, studies that have used administrative boundaries to investigate the reconstruction of settlement space have not been able to clearly define the real boundaries of land use changes or quantify the degree of response to the ‘Build-Back-Better’ initiative, and have lacked any consideration of the fourth reconstruction stage–development period (10 years). This study constructed a mountain settlement niche and analyzed the characteristics, spatial reconstruction, and drivers of rural settlements during 2009–2019 in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, southwest China. The results showed the following: (1) Natural factors were the basis for the formation and development of mountain settlement niches. The scale of the settlement niche and its land use structure depended on the physical geography features and the ethnic farming and grazing traditions. The settlement niche provided a realistic boundary for the spatial reconstruction. (2) The layout of residential land around cropland was the common feature of the mountain settlement niche. Of all the land use types, the roads and rural residential lands showed the most change over the 10 years; 13,860 residential patches increased in size and 4,742 patches were abandoned. (3) The area of orchards, planted to reconstruct the economy in the mountains, increased by nearly 2.5 times. (4) Collapses, landslides, and debris flow disasters and the ecological red line influenced the spatial reconstruction. While the main focus of postdisaster recovery is spatial reconstruction, initiatives should include economic and spiritual recovery, and should also achieve sustainable development of the region. © Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.

ABSTRACT: To learn the process of urban land evolution before and after an earthquake is vital to formulate the urban reconstruction control policies and recovery measures in the earthquake-stricken areas. However, spatiotemporal evolution and its driving factors of urban land in earthquake-prone areas remains limited due to the scarcity of ground observation data. This research, leveraging night-time light remote sensing imagery and land cover data, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the long-term evolution characteristics of urban land in earthquake-prone areas. It introduced methodologies for assessing the socio-economic impact and the primary natural environmental factors driving urban land evolution in these regions. To validate the proposed methods, the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake-affected area in China was selected as a representative study area. The results indicated that the average Digital Number (DN) values in socio-economically impacted areas showed a trend of rising, falling, and then rising again after the earthquake. DN values in three types of damaged areas including Type II,Type III, and Type IV exceeded pre-earthquake levels. The analysis of determinative factors influencing urban land evolution revealed that slope and elevation were key elements in controlling urban land expansion before the earthquake, whereas factors such as slope, elevation, lithology, and faults had a stronger influence on urban land expansion after the earthquake. It can be seen that, in view of the differences in the natural conditions of regions for post-disaster reconstruction, the local government need to actively adjust and adapt to urban spatial planning, so as to leverage the scale effect of large-scale inputs of funds, facilities, human resources and other factors after the disaster, thus enhancing resilience and recovery efficiency in response to disaster impacts. © Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.

ABSTRACT: Based on the study of post - disaster recovery and reconstruetion projects in Mianyang City, the hardest - hit area of the Wenchuan earthquake, it is possible to understand the implementation of the recovery and reconstruetion of the tourism industry in the disaster area, and put forward the path of resilient development of the tourism industry in the disaster - prone areas based on the coneept of " build back better". Research findings; (T) Through the post - disaster recovery and reconstruetion projeet evaluation, it is found that the implementation of historical and cultural heritage and scenic spots projects in Mianyang City is relatively poor, on the one hand, it is due to the fact that most of the characteristic tourism resources are located in the area of complex geologic environ-ment, which makes it difficult to recover and reconstruet. On the other hand, post - disaster resource constraints and secondary disasters contribute to the impacts on the recovery and reconstruetion of the tourism projects; (2) Wenchuan earthquake tourism recovery and reconstruetion also has a lot of experience to learn from, including the formulation of policies and plans to protect the leading position of the tourism industry is crucial, to enhance the funetion of supporting Services to promote the optimization and upgrading of the tourism industry, and to inno-vate the marketing approach can strongly promote the recovery of the tourism market to grow. (3) The connotation of the coneept of " rebuild better" is further analyzed, the need for disaster - prone regions to draw on this coneept to guide post - disaster recovery and reconstruetion is discussed, and a resilient development path for tourism is pro-posed based on the three dimensions of risk reduetion, scenic area restoration and efficient implementation, speeif-ically in the areas of tourism planning, structural resilience, disaster prevention and mitigation, economy and livelihoods, society and psychology, institutional mechanisms, laws and regulations, and monitoring and evaluation. © 2024 Shaanxi Earthquake Agency.

ABSTRACT: A mega-earthquake in a mountainous region can trigger thousands of landslides. Subsequently, these loose co-seismic materials will experience the erosion-transport-sediment process. This process is closely associated with a series of cascading hazards, such as landslides, debris flows and floods. The disturbance and legacy effects of earthquakes have become the focus of attention for post-earthquake reconstruction and disaster mitigation. By combining the modeling of seismic-induced landslide magnitude with an analysis of the coseismic material sediment connectivity and transfer processes, we assessed the impacts of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake on the mass balance and subsequent geohazard activities. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake produced 22,785 Mt of deposit storage, 37.9 % of which (∼8636 Mt) is connected to the channels and prone to erosion and transfer by hydrodynamic forces, and the remaining 62.1 % (∼14,149 Mt) was deposited on hillslopes far from the channel network and contributed little to the sediment dynamics. Long-term field observations found a causal relationship between decreasing surface erosion rate and gradual healing of co-seismic deposits due to coarsening by progressive removal of fine grains. We evaluated the residence time of fine-grained (<0.25 mm) landslide materials using the post-earthquake sediment evacuation rate and identified three stages regarding the enhanced erosion and surface mass wasting after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, namely, the high activity period (within 40.6 ± 5.4 years), the low activity period (40.6 ± 5.4–107.1 ± 14.2 years), and the steady period (after 107.1 ± 14.2 years). This has important implications for the hazard assessment of landslides and debris flows in understanding and modeling the post-seismic geohazard evolution over multiple timescales. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake caused severe damage to rural areas in Dujiangyan. Determining the reconstruction plan for farmers' housing and unifying reconstruction opinions, while ensuring the rational distribution of resources, became a key focus for the government. As post-disaster reconstruction planning progressed and neared completion, comparative and innovative studies on rural land systems before and after the earthquake, as well as patterns of farmers' housing reconstruction, became important research topics. Traditional studies lack empirical assessments of rural housing reconstruction models from a micro perspective. This paper analyzes and compares the resettlement effects of three typical housing reconstruction models in rural Dujiangyan, aiming to supplement empirical assessments of post-disaster rural reconstruction effectiveness. It reflects the impacts and effects of different reconstruction models selected through collective resolutions in typical towns of Dujiangyan, considering aspects such as development intensity, resettlement efficiency, economic income, and living environment. This analysis helps understand the differences that various reconstruction methods may bring to communities, aiming to summarize past experiences, optimize reconstruction planning and management, and enhance the satisfaction and well-being of disaster-affected people in rural housing reconstruction. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

ABSTRACT: In September 5th 2022, an earthquake measured Ms 6.8 occurred in Hailuogou scenic spot, Luding County, Sichuan Province, and its intensity at epicenter is Ⅸ. Compared with Wenchuan earthquake (Ms 8.0) in 2008 and Lushan earthquake (Ms 7.0) in 2013, its magnitude is smaller. However due to the mountainous topography, the earthquake-triggered geological disasters are highly developed, obstructed traffic lines and caused 118 persons dead or missing. In order to investigate the earthquake-triggered disasters and loss, a 5-days field visit is taken to the affected area of Luding County and Shimian County. Based on the collected data and regional geological information, the analysis is conducted to formulate the development of geological disaster, the damage of civil structures and human fatalities. The major findings can be summarized as follow. 1) The hanging-wall effects of geological disasters are not obvious, which mainly occur in the areas with earthquake intensity of more than Ⅶ, and are small in volume and can be categorized mainly as rock fall and gravel/sand/debris slide. The rock planar slide and soil slump can be occasionally witnessed. 2) The landslide types are controlled by geological conditions. The upstream Detuo town in Luding County belongs to the Dadu river valley which is hot and arid, where the slope mass is highly loosened but slightly weathered, and the disaster type is mainly rock fall. However, downstream of the town, the valley is humid, the slope mass is both highly loosened and weathered, and gravel/sand/debris slide is the major failure type. 3) Geological disasters appear mainly in the areas of mountain ridge, intersection of gentle and steep slope, the walls of an erosion gully and highway lines. Engineering disturbance is an enhancing factor for the dense distribution of disasters and human fatalities. 4) Damage of civil structures mainly occurred in the areas with intensity of Ⅸ and is most serious in Moxi town. The construction quality of rural self-built houses and old buildings is the main problem affecting the anti-seismic capacity of the structures. The seismic site effect should be considered during post-quake reconstruction. 5) In the region of alpine and deep valley, it is effective to reinforce highway slope and to keep a building site away from the affected zone of possible rock falls, thus to reduce disasters and human fatality. © 2024 Editorial Department of Journal of Sichuan University.

ABSTRACT: Using the three-wave longitudinal survey data of the Wenchuan disaster area, this study employed Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) to explore the recovery trajectory from depression of rural survivors after the Wenchuan earthquake. Across the three waves, 221 respondents (118 male, 103 female) provided complete data. We found that, at the individual level, the survivors’ individual social networks had a significant effect on the change in depression scores in the four years following the earthquake, implying that a strong social network could help survivors recover from depression. At the community level, community trust had a significant effect both on the initial depression score at the time of the earthquake and on the survivors’ change in depression scores after the earthquake. Survivors with high community trust had significantly lower depression scores, compared with those with low community trust at the time of the earthquake; however, the depression scores of the former increased in the four years following the earthquake and gradually approached the average depression level. At the social level, relief resource allocation also had a significant effect on the change in survivors’ post-disaster depression; those who deemed the resource allocation to be very fair had a decrease in depression scores. The results of our study show that rich individual social networks and allocation of relief resources contribute to earthquake survivors’ recovery from depression. Therefore, besides providing more adequate relief resources to survivors, we should also emphasize the rebuilding of their social networks. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 8.0 Ms Wenchuan earthquake caused serious ecological degradation in the northwest of China’s Sichuan Province. Elucidating landscape fragmentation and spatial pattern of post-earthquake landscape is of great interest in order to improve ecological restoration and predict the spatial distribution of damaged ecosystems in earthquake-affected areas. We used four real-time remote sensing images to analyze the landscape pattern characteristics and spatial autocorrelation of the Longxi River Basin before and after the Wenchuan earthquake during the period from 2005 to 2015. In the study period, the degree of landscape fragmentation increased 1 year after the earthquake in 2009 but decreased in 2011 and 2015. The spatial distribution of forest, farmland, and shrub-grassland had significantly positive spatial correlation and the characteristics of spatial aggregation from 2005 to 2015. Construction land had no significant spatial correlation before the earthquake in 2005, but significantly positive spatial correlation after the earthquake, while traffic land had no significant spatial correlation across the study period. Unlike the other landscape types, geological disasters changed from a significantly negative spatial correlation before the earthquake to a significantly positive spatial correlation after the earthquake. However, the positive autocorrelation of all landscape types decreased with the increase of space distance, but in different distance-decay rates. The High-high spatial aggregation areas of geological disasters and construction land clustered gradually upstream of the basin and distributed in Longchi town, respectively; those of farmland distributed in the southeast of the basin increased in 2009 but then decreased, while those of forests had the opposite pattern as the dominant landscape type after the earthquake. Our results elucidated the spatial structure and distribution features of the Longxi River Basin to give a theoretical foundation for assessing the effects of ecological restoration and reconstruction management in earthquake-affected areas. © 2023 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Natural disasters have a profound and far-reaching impact on human society, economic progress, and ecological stability. Swift post-disaster reconstruction, aiding economic recovery, and minimizing social losses are paramount for attaining sustainable development in afflicted regions. This study delves into the coupling and coordinated development of the economic-ecological-social (EES) complex system during the post-disaster reconstruction following the Wenchuan earthquake in China. Using data spanning from 2005 to 2020, we constructed a comprehensive indicator system for the EES complex system. Subsequently, a coupled evaluation framework was established to assess its sustainable and coordinated development. Employing the AHP-entropy method and the coupled coordination degree model (CCD), we explored the interrelationships within the EES complex system. The results indicate that the CCD of the EES system in Wenchuan exhibited an upward trend in the decade following the earthquake, significantly expediting sustainable development in the disaster-stricken area. Geographically, CCD scores increased from the northeast to the southwest, revealing distinct stratification differences. Furthermore, CCD closely correlated with geographic location, ecological resource endowment, science and education, and the labor force. The study also analyzed spatial discrepancies in CCD scores and identified underlying factors. Based on these findings, we offer policy recommendations to fortify infrastructure development, reconfigure industrial layout, and heighten environmental consciousness. These results offer valuable insights for decision-making in post-disaster recovery and sustainable development. © 2023 The Author(s)

ABSTRACT: Geological hazards caused by strong earthquakes have caused continuous social and economic losses and destruction of the ecological environment in the hazard area, and are mostly manifested in the areas with frequent occurrence of geological hazards or the clustering of geological hazards. Considering the long-term nature of earthquakes and geological disasters in this region, this paper takes ten earthquake-stricken areas in Wenchuan earthquake zone as examples to collect shallow landslide data in 2010, combined with the spatial location of landslides and other factors. Kernel density estimation (KDE) method is used to analyze the spatial characteristics of shallow landslide. Taking the space of shallow landslide as the characteristic variable and fully considering the regulating factors of earthquake-induced landslide: terrain complexity, distance to river, distance to fault, distance to road, lithology, normalized vegetation difference index (NDVI) and ground peak acceleration (PGA) as independent variables, based on KDE and polynomial logistic regression (MLR), A quantitative model of shallow landslide in the earthquake area is constructed. The results show that: (1) PGA has the greatest impact on landslide in the study area. (2) Compared with the two-category logistic regression (two-category LR) model, the susceptibility map of landslide prediction results based on the KDE-MLR landslide susceptibility prediction model is more consistent with the actual situation. (3) The prediction accuracy of the model validation set is 70.7%, indicating that the landslide susceptibility prediction model based on KDE-MLR can effectively highlight the spatial characteristics of shallow landslides in 10 extreme disaster areas. The research results can provide decision-making basis for shallow landslide warning and post-disaster reconstruction in earthquake-stricken areas. © 2023, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: Housing reconstruction plays a crucial role in renovating disaster-hit areas. Rural areas are considerably different from urban areas in terms of geographic environment, building size, residential culture, and social organization. Therefore, post-disaster recovery and reconstruction models for urban areas cannot be applied directly to disaster-hit rural areas. This study, based on the experience of rural housing reconstruction after the Wenchuan earthquake, identified key strategic issues in housing reconstruction that must be addressed to achieve the goal of “building back better” in the future. By taking the experience of Dujiangyan as our reference, the study found that the following strategies are important for successful housing reconstruction in rural areas: (1) actively involve disaster victims through a participatory institutional design; (2) coordinate the interests of governments, markets, and disaster victims and the functions of living, production, and ecology through a classified housing reconstruction system; and (3) activate the quota for rural collective construction land and create a new source of funding for housing reconstruction through the market circulation of urban-rural land. Additionally, in the context of urban-rural integration, changes in land use can lead to rural spatial reconstruction and sustainable regional development, providing a reference for formulating optimal post-disaster reconstruction strategies. © 2023 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: For the serious destruction of the terrain in the earthquake area after the Wenchuan earthquake,the original topographic map and DEM data are no longer time⁃effective,which can not accurately describe the geological characteristics,and need to be updated and reconstructed urgently. 20 Envisat ASAR images from August 2007 to July 2010 ARE collected,the DEM in the study area is extracted by using multi⁃baseline InSAR technology,and the generated ASAR DEM is compared with ASTER GDEM and SRTM DEM. The exper⁃ imental results show that ASTER GDEM and SRTM DEM cannot accurately reflect the ground elevation changes due to timeliness,and it is easy to introduce topographic errors. In some areas with less vegetation and stable geology,ASAR DEM has high measurement accu⁃ racy. Multi⁃baseline InSAR technique can be used as an effective method for DEM reconstruction in post⁃earthquake deformation areas. © 2023 Guojia Jiaowei Quanguo Gaoxiao Chuangan Jishu Yanjiuhui.

ABSTRACT: On September 5, 2022, an Ms6.8 earthquake struck Luding County, Sichuan Province, China. Through creating a coseismic landslide prediction model, we obtained the spatial distribution of the triggered geological hazards immediately after the earthquake. Through collecting all available multi-source optical remote sensing images of the earthquake-affected area via UAV and satellite platforms, the exact information of coseismic landslide was achieved by pattern recognition and visual inspection. According to the current results, the Luding earthquake triggered 5336 landslides with a total area of 28.53km2. The spatial distribution of the coseismic landslides is correlated statistically to various seismic, terrain, and geological factors, to evaluate their susceptibility at regional scale and to identify the most typical characteristics of these failures. The results reveal that the coseismic landslides mainly occurred on the sides of the Xianshuihe fault (within 1.2 km) and Dadu River (within 0.5 km) in striped patterns. They are concentrated in the regions with an elevation range of 1000–1800 m, a slope range of 25–55°, and lithologies of acid plutonic rocks, mixed sedimentary rocks, and siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. Besides, the coseismic landslides of the Luding earthquake are smaller in size and shallower than those triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2017 Jiuzhaigou earthquake. Rapidly achieving the spatial locations and distribution patterns of the coseismic landslides enables to provide effective support and guidance to emergency rescue, risk mitigation, and reconstruction planning. © 2023, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: Post-traumatic growth (PTG) refers to the positive psychological changes experienced by individuals after struggling with major life crises or extremely challenging traumatic events, which is prevalent in people exposed to natural disasters. The development of PTG is affected by various individual and social factors, particularly perceived social support. Studies have shown that perceived social support can help individuals to reduce their negative assessment of negative events and establish positive cognitive schemata. For individuals, perceiving high levels of social support was conductive to the formation of PTG. However, the mechanism in the relationship between perceived social support and PTG was not clear and needed more research. According to relevant theories, gratitude and self-efficacy play important roles. First, gratitude is a positive psychological quality related to individual cognition and emotion, which contains the meaning of grace and pleasure. According to the theory of gratitude expansion construction, gratitude can broaden the individual's cognitive level and scope of thinking and action, help the individual to build persistent resources such as body, intelligence, psychology, and society, and effectively alleviate adverse physiological reactions caused by negative cognitive emotions, so as to promote self-development. Second, self-efficacy refers to the individual's speculation, judgment, and belief on whether one can complete a certain task. The self-regulation shift theory suggests that if post-traumatic individuals can get good social support, they will feel the improvement of self-decision-making belief, improving their perception and evaluation ability, and promoting positive psychological adaptation and growth. Therefore, this study incorporated gratitude and self-efficacy into the exploration of the relationship between social support and PTG, examining the internal mechanism under which perceived social support may affect PTG. This study used the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Gratitude Scale, the Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory to investigate 476 participants (55.46% males; M age = 24.69 years, SD = 4.25) who survived 12 years after the Wenchuan earthquake. The structural equation model was performed for analysis. The results showed that: (1) In the long period after the earthquake, the PTG of young survivors still existed, and in the relatively upper-middle level (M = 68.51, SD = 23.00); (2) Perceived social support significantly and positively predicted PTG (β = .43, p < .001); (3) Gratitude (95% CI [.00, .08]) and self-efficacy (95% CI [.04, .15]) played a partial mediating role between perceived social support and PTG, respectively. The current study further explored the mechanism between perceived social support and PTG, and revealed the important role of gratitude and self-efficacy in the above relation. In term of applications, this study found that perceived social support is not only very important for promoting PTG in a short period after the earthquake, but also very important for the long-term development of PTG, which provides an important empirical basis for long-term post disaster psychological reconstruction and psychological intervention. Moreover, this study also provided practical enlightenment for the path of post disaster psychological intervention. That is, the psychological social intervention technology of providing social support, cultivating gratitude, and improving self-efficacy, which has strong practical significance for improving the psychosocial adaptability of people in post-earthquake disaster areas. © 2023 Chinese Psycholocial Society.

ABSTRACT: With the increasing uncertainty and complexity of disasters, the tourism industry in disaster-stricken areas is often hard hit, so it is urgent to improve the resilience of the tourism industry. Based on the perspective of regional economic resilience, this study takes Wenchuan earthquake as an example to explore the theoretical framework, research ideas and methods of tourist destination resilience. The industry policy should be included in the resilience construction to theoretically respond to the reasons for the improvement of the resilience and sustainability of tourism industry in the post-disaster recovery. Taking Sichuan tourism as the research object, this paper estimated the impact of Wenchuan earthquake on Sichuan tourism and the effect of industrial policies on the resilience of the tourism industry in the post-disaster recovery. The results show that the total revenue loss of Sichuan tourism industry brought by Wenchuan earthquake is 87.298 billion yuan, and the post-disaster recovery window period is 7 years (2008–2014). After the earthquake, the industrial policy measures taken have effectively improved the resilience of Sichuan’s tourism industry, making it reach the level that it would have been before the earthquake and assuming that there had been no earthquake. © 2023 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: [Background] Baisha River Basin is the main drinking water source in the main urban area of Chengdu. The “5’12” Wenchuan earthquake led to the accumulation of a large number of collapse and landslide debris on the steep slopes, resulting in serious soil and water loss during rainstorm, which has a serious impact on the water supply of the water source. The investigation and change trend analysis of loose material sources in the basin have important guiding significance for the comprehensive control of soil and water loss in the basin. [Methods] Four periods of high-resolution remote sensing images one year before the earthquake and 10 years after the earthquake were selected. The loose material source was extracted by using object-oriented remote sensing automatic interpretation combined with human-computer interaction. The spatial distribution and dynamic change characteristics of material source were analyzed by GIS spatial analysis method. [Results] Before the “5 ’12” Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the loose material sources area of the basin was only 20. 05 km2, accounting for 5. 57% of the total area of the basin. The “5 • 12 ” Wenchuan earthquake caused a large number of new loose material sources in the basin, with a total area of 106. 31 km2, accounting for 29. 52% of the total area of the basin. At 10 years after the earthquake, the total material source area decreased by 66. 95 km2. There are still a few new sources in the basin after the earthquake, and the new sources in the 5 years after the earthquake are mainly distributed in the lower reaches of the basin due to human activities such as post disaster recovery and reconstruction, river dredging and mining. At 5 - 10 years after the earthquake, the newly added sources decreased, which was mainly caused by the expansion of the source range of some slopes in the upper reaches of the basin or the newly added collapse and landslide sources. The earthquake caused the average source center of the basin to move about 6. 7 km downstream as a whole, and the average source center gradually moved back at 10 years after the earthquake. [Conclusions] Although the ecological restoration of the basin is obvious, there is still a certain gap from that before the earthquake. The material sources in the three directions of southwest by west, northwest by west and northwest by north of the upstream are still in an unstable state, which is the area to be treated in the next step. © 2023, Editorial Board of Science of Soil and Water Conservation.

ABSTRACT: Rock landslide failure boundaries contain large amounts of rock mass structure information, providing many details that help researchers understand the causes of landslide failure. Taking the Zhaobiyan (ZBY) landslide triggered by the 2008 M<inf>S</inf> 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake as an example, we systematically introduce a workflow for analyzing the structural characteristics of landslide failure boundaries using three-dimensional point clouds. First, multi-source data of the failure boundaries are obtained via terrestrial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle photography. Next, on the basis of the hue, saturation, value color reconstruction technique, and the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise, more than 3,870,000 orientations and eight groups of joint faces are extracted from these data. Finally, the spacing, persistence, and roughness of the joint faces are calculated. According to the roughness, we determined that the north flank of the ZBY landslide is a smooth friction face resulting from tectonic shear. With increasing movement distance of the landslide on the slip surface, the roughness is increasingly controlled by landslide slickensides instead of the structure. Furthermore, we confirmed that both sides of the ZBY landslide are primarily controlled by planar shearing failure with the linkage of Joints J1 and J2, which are located on the north and south flanks, respectively. The damaged areas on the two flanks caused by shear failure reached 86.53% and 73.02%, respectively, of the flank areas. The main scarp is composed of wedge failures at different scales, and the area damaged by tension reached 89.28% of the main scarp area. © 2023, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: While post-disaster rebuilding is an urgent task for affected areas, an approach without consideration for climate protection will probably lead to another disaster of carbon lock-in. Therefore, policymaking and implementation are critically important. This paper takes the Guangyuan prefecture as a case study, where the local government took the lead in low-carbon initiative and made a great contribution to low-carbon development. Based on long-term field investigations and semi-structured interviews, using the theory of multi-level governance, it discusses policy formation and implementation in the Guangyuan prefecture, and how the governance system promoted an environment-and-climate-friendly rebuilding. The results demonstrate the urgency of carbon decoupling in post-disaster-rebuilding and the significance of an effective governance system. This provides insight to the contemporary world that post-disaster rebuilding is not only a revitalization of the affected areas, but a comprehensive undertaking to avoid other possible disasters and ensure a sustainable future. © 2023 the author(s), published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies.

ABSTRACT: The Paired Assistance Program to Disaster-Affected Areas (PADAA) in China has demonstrated its efficiency after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in restoring and reconstructing the affected regions. PADAA gradually was implemented into national policy and became a part of political mobilization in the Chinese emergency management system. This study aims to find out how PADAA works in the Chinese public administration system. In order to achieve this goal, the expert interviews, secondary data and documents were processed. We discuss the phases of the reconstruction process and analyse the factors, which enabled the influence of the PADAA programme on economic sustainability growth. The findings of this research will be helpful to humanitarian practitioners and policy-makers for their better understanding of the disaster challenges and relief operations arrangement that should lead to improvement of regulations, policies and logistics strategies in this direction. Finally, some recommendations for local governments and international organizations will be suggested. © Journal of Management World, 2023.

ABSTRACT: To enhance the timeliness and accuracy of spatial prediction of coseismic landslides, we propose an improved three-stage spatial prediction strategy and develop corresponding hazard assessment software named Mat.LShazard V1.0. Based on this software, we evaluate the applicability of this improved spatial prediction strategy in six earthquake events that have occurred near the Sichuan-Yunnan region, including the Wenchuan, Ludian, Lushan, Jiuzhaigou, Minxian, and Yushu earthquakes. The results indicate that in the first stage (immediately after the quake event), except for the 2013 Minxian earthquake, the area under the curve (AUC) values of the modeling performance are above 0.8. Among them, the AUC value of the Wenchuan earthquake is the highest, reaching 0.947. The prediction results in the first stage can meet the requirements of emergency rescue by immediately obtaining the overall predicted information of the possible coseismic landslide locations in the quake-affected area. In the second and third stages, with the improvement of landslide data quality, the prediction ability of the model based on the entire landslide database is gradually improved. Based on the entire landslide database, the AUC value of the six events exceeds 0.9, indicating a very high prediction accuracy. For the second and third stages, the predicted landslide area (Ap) is relatively consistent with the observed landslide area (Ao). However, based on the incomplete landslide data in the meizoseismal area, Ap is much smaller than Ao. When the prediction model based on complete landslide data is built, Ap is nearly identical to Ao. This study provides a new application tool for coseismic landslide disaster prevention and mitigation in different stages of emergency rescue, temporary resettlement, and late reconstruction after a major earthquake. © Author(s) 2023.

ABSTRACT: The May 12 Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 caused enormous damage in the ethnic minority areas in the northwestern part of China’s Sichuan Province. The author started research in 2010 on the Tibetan people in the disaster-affected area of Heishui County with a focus on reconstruction after the Sichuan Earthquake. Through an extensive period of fieldwork, it became clear that in addition to recovery from the disaster, but also a poverty alleviation program implemented since 2013 have resulted in a drastic changes in the daily lives of the Heishui Tibetans, while their own expression of ethnic awareness has become more apparent. One of the reasons for this may be attributable to the promotion of tourism as a means of economic growth, transforming the ethnic minority culture into a resource. At the same time, however, the reality is that the ideology of national unity of the Chinese nation is being strengthened. The purpose of this study is to clarify how the Heishui Tibetans, a sub-group of the Tibetan ethnic group, use their own ethnic status strategically with tourism development as momentum. The author first introduces the “depoliticization” theory of the development of China’s ethnic minorities and its counterarguments to demonstrate the theoretical interest of this paper, followed by a discussion of the historical and cultural context of the complex ethnic affiliations of the Heishui Tibetan people and the basis for focusing the Heishui Tibetans. Shifting the focus to current tourism development, this study then clarifies the strategic use of the ethnic status of the Heishui Tibetan people by referring to case studies of Yangrong, a tourist village, and Red tourism in Heishui County. Finally, the author concludes that the Heishui Tibetan people strategically use their ethnic status to secure political legitimacy so that they can participate in development, demonstrate the authenticity of their ethnic culture, and take part in the ideology of national unity. © 2023, International Research Center for Japanese Studies.

ABSTRACT: Based on two cases of post-earthquake reconstruction and recovery in Sichuan, China, namely the Wenchuan earthquake (2008) and the Lushan earthquake (2013), this chapter focuses on discovering women's leadership activities in the post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. Gleaned from local women's focus groups, in-depth interviews with various stakeholders affected by the earthquakes, and observations made by local adult women on site at the reconstruction areas, this chapter explores the role of the adult female residents' forthright engagement and leadership capacity through the course of the entire post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. This chapter argues that the women's indirect and informal engagement enhanced their leadership capacity, accelerated the entire the reconstruction and recovery process, advanced the quality of their lives post-disaster, and eventually contributed to the improvement of community resilience. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

ABSTRACT: The need to protect forests and enhance the capacity of mountain ecosystems is highlighted in the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15. The worst-hit areas of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in southwest China were mountainous regions with high biodiversity and the impacted area is typical of other montane regions, with the need for detecting vegetation changes following the impacts of catastrophes. While the widely used remotely sensed vegetation indicator NDVI is available from various satellite data sources, these satellites are available for different monitoring periods and durations. Combining these datasets proved challenging to make a continuous characterization of vegetation change over an extended time period. In this study, compared with linear regression, multiple linear regression, and random forest, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) performed best with an average R2 of 0.819 (leave-one-out cross-validation). Thus, the CNNs model was selected to establish the map of the overlapping periods of two remote-sensing products: SPOT-VGT NDVI and PROBA-V NDVI, to reconstruct a SPOT-VGT NDVI for the period from June 2014 to December 2018 in the worst-hit areas of the Wenchuan earthquake. We analyzed the original and reconstructed SPOT-VGT NDVI in the hard-hit areas of the Wenchuan earthquake from 1999 to 2018, and we concluded that NDVI showed an overall upward trend throughout the study period, but experienced a sharp decline in 2008 and reached its lowest value a year later (2009). Vegetation recovery was rapid from 2009 until 2011 after which, it returned to a pattern of slower natural growth (2012–2018). The Longmenshan fault zone experienced the greatest vegetation damage and initiation of recovery there has caused the overall regional average recovery to lag by 1–2 years. In areas where the land was denuded of vegetation (i.e., effectively all vegetation was stripped from the surface) after the earthquake, the damage exceeded what was experienced anywhere else in the entire study area, and by 2018 it remained unrestored. In the 15 years since the earthquake, the areas that were denuded were expected to recover to the level of restoration equivalent with the NDVI of 2007, as was the case in other earthquake-damaged regions. In addition to the earthquake and the immediate loss of vegetation, the Chinese government’s Grain for Green Policy, the elevation ranges within the region, the forest’s phenological conditions, and human activities all had an impact on vegetation recovery and restoration. The reconstructed NDVI provides a long-term continuous record, which contributes to the identifying changes that are improving predictive forest recovery models and to better vegetation management following catastrophic disturbances, such as earthquakes. © 2023 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Restoration of damaged highway-bridge networks is critical to the recovery of the networks’ functionality in support of post-disaster recovery actions. Restoration-scheduling problems have traditionally assumed that parallel restoration actions to different bridges on a highway segment can be undertaken simultaneously. However, such assumption may have unfavorable consequences insofar as, in real-world scenarios, downtime may result from impassability of a segment due to blockage arising from the preceding restoration actions to their subsequent ones on the same segment. Consequently, downtime due to interactions of parallel restoration actions may hinder effective recovery of networks’ functionality. Accordingly, this paper proposes an integer program to investigate the restoration interactions in post-earthquake highway–bridge networks and such interactions’ impacts on optimal restoration scheduling and networks’ resilience recovery processes. A hybrid genetic algorithm that combines a genetic algorithm with a specifically designed heuristic approach is developed to improve the proposed integer program’s computational efficiency. The results of a case study using the proposed method and data from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake show that the downtime due to restoration interactions can delay the recovery of the networks’ functionality, and thus that neglecting such interactions can lead to the overestimation of the networks’ resilience. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: Reconstructing Resilient Communities after the Wenchuan Earthquake: Disaster Recovery in China looks at the changes in Chinese society following the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan from various perspectives ranging from reconstruction policy, mental care for disaster victims, tourism in disaster areas, ethnic minorities, and disaster prevention education. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which occurred three months prior to the Beijing Olympics, attracted worldwide attention in May of 2008. Following this natural disaster, the government in China conducted a delicate bargaining between government top-drown control and openness to its people and the international society in its effort to steer the reconstruction. This book examines the globalization of modern society through examination of these events and considers what we have learned from this disaster, subsequent reconstruction, and issues that may arise in the future. © 2024 The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the post-earthquake economic recovery of the most severely affected areas in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake is analyzed. First, a new analysis method that uses the economic data in Sichuan Province as the comparison standard is proposed. Then, based on the economic data of the most severely affected areas and Sichuan Province from 2003 to 2019, the post-earthquake economic recovery of the most severely affected areas is analyzed, and the results of the analysis are compared with those of the synthetic control method and the gray prediction model. Finally, the recovery path and its influencing factors are analyzed. The main findings are as follows: (1) The recovery of the post-earthquake economy varies among regions. Only the GDP per capita of An County and Pengzhou City had recovered to the pre-earthquake level by 2019. (2) The proposed method is highly similar to the synthetic control method in determining the recovery process and recovery time of the post-earthquake economy but differs significantly from the gray prediction model in the results of the analysis of the long-run economic recovery. (3) The post-earthquake economic recovery of the most severely affected areas shows a variety of recovery paths. The rapid and gradual decrease in the normalized gross investment in fixed assets (GIFA) per capita after the reconstruction period led to the economic recovery of the most severely affected areas into different recovery paths, and the significant increase in the normalized GIFA per capita and normalized retail sales of consumer goods (RSCG) per capita may lead to economic recovery breaking the equilibrium state and entering a new recovery path. Some discussions on the comparison of the proposed method, the synthetic control method and gray prediction model are also given as well as the economic recovery path. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: Background: Community resilience, which fully reflects the ability of communities to resist, absorb, recover or adapt to disasters, has attracted international attention. Nurses are an important force in disaster prevention, relief and postdisaster reconstruction. This study aims to test the current level of community resilience in Dujiangyan city, which was seriously damaged by the Wenchuan earthquake, and analyze the causes. Methods: Community data from 952 residents, 574 families, 5 health care institutions and 12 communities in Dujiangyan city were collected by using stratified, cluster, map and systematic sampling methods. A new community resilience evaluation system from the perspective of nursing was used to test individual, family, health care and environmental resilience. Results: In Dujiangyan city, average scores were obtained for community resilience (3.93 ± 0.12), individual resilience (4.07 ± 0.64), family resilience (4.07 ± 0.6), health care resilience (3.84 ± 0.33) and community environment resilience (3.69 ± 0.46). Conclusions: The urban communities in Dujiangyan city had acceptable resilience, with good family and individual resilience and medium health care and community environment resilience, but environmental resilience had the lowest score. Because conditions and resilience levels varied among the communities, targeted measures should be taken to improve resilience based on population characteristics, management, professional organizations, hardware and software facilities. © 2021, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: On September 5th, 2022, the Ms 6.8 earthquake in Luding County, Sichuan Province induced large numbers of geological hazards. In order to deeply understand the evolution, distribution, and characteristics of geological hazards caused by the earthquake, we obtained the distribution of geological hazards by the field investigation and remote sensing interpretation. The conditions for hazard control and the countermeasures for hazard prevention and reduction are also analyzed. The results show that as of 22:00 on September 14, 2022, the earthquake has induced 565 geological hazards with threat objects in Luding County and Shimian County (including 331 collapses and 234 landslides), and 81 existing geological hazards whose deformation increased. The geological hazards induced by the earthquake are mainly medium and small mass high-level collapses, which are mainly concentrated in the areas with Seismic intensity zone of Ⅸ near the epicenter. These areas include Moxi Town, Detuo Township, both banks of Dadu River between Detuo Township and Dewei town in Luding County, Caoke Township and Wanggangping Township in Shimian County. According to the experience of the Wenchuan earthquake, the debris flow will be active in the next five years, and its characteristics of high frequency and viscous debris flow should be considered in the design of debris flow prevention and control engineering. Under the rainfall condition, the landslide deposition remaining on the slopes of Dadu River banks in the section of Detuo Township—Dewei Town can easily transform into debris flow. The transformation forms of the two hazards’ types should be fully considered in the design of prevention and control projects. The study can provide a reference for earthquake geological hazard prevention and post hazard reconstruction planning in the earthquake area. © 2022 Editorial Office of Hydrogeology and Engineering.

ABSTRACT: With the rapid development of interferometric synthetic aperture radar(InSAR)technique, massive and high-quality interferograms make the surface displacement monitoring over a larger area become available.And it has become a daily and professional work to acquire large-scale surface deformation in many countries or regions.However, the standard frame width of spaceborne SAR imagery is limited.Generally, the width of single SAR image is tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.As a result, large research area may not be covered by single track, such as interseismic displacements in Tibetan plateau and coseismic displacements in Wenchuan earthquake.It is necessary and crucial to integrate multi-track InSAR displacement on the purpose of acquiring large-scale surface deformation observations.This study focuses on the application requirements of large-scale interseismic deformation rate field reconstruction.We first generated a simulated dataset and quantitatively analyzed the error sources in integrating multi-track InSAR displacement rate products into a regional displacement map, including the inconsistency of reference point, side looking incident angle and other non-deformation signals(residual atmospheric errors, time difference of acquiring SAR images, etc.).Especially the influence of incident angle of different tracks was quantitatively explained and discussed.The deformation rate obtained by InSAR technology is relative to a specific reference point, which is a specific coherent target selected in the processing of InSAR data, and its active characteristics are often unknown.This makes the deformation rate field of different tracks have a systematic deviation, which needs to be compensated for integration.GPS displacement rate is usually applied to uniform reference datum.The imaging time of multi-track SAR images is different, and the length of time is also different, which makes the deformation rate in the overlapping area of adjacent tracks different.This is mainly caused by the nonlinear component of the deformation rate.When the time span and imaging time are not different, the images of observation time are generally not considered in interseismic deformation observation.Through the simulated experiment, it is found that the influence of incident angle must be considered to obtain high-precision and large-scale InSAR deformation rate field.And a second-order polynomial could be used to correct incident angle.Afterwards, we proposed a ratio method based on polynomial estimation to correct the incident angle.Additionally, the application scenario and effect of integration after transforming to ALD(Azimuth Look Direction)are discussed and analyzed for large-scale strike-slip faults.This study takes the southeastern Tibetan plateau as an experimental site.The integration of large-scale InSAR deformation rate field is conducted and analyzed.The GPS horizontal velocity field covered by InSAR data is used to calibrate the reference datum.In order to obtain the InSAR deformation corresponding to GPS station, we take the GPS point as the center with a radius of 5km, and use the inverse distance weighting method to obtain the InSAR deformation rate value.After the reference datum is corrected, the difference of InSAR deformation rate in overlapping areas is significantly reduced.The developed ratio method and conversion to ALD direction are used to integrate the InSAR displacement products reconstructed based on Sentinel-1 satellite data.The results show impacts of incident angle differences on the adjacent tracks and also prove the reliability of the strategies applied in this study.Under the condition of ensuring that the time coverage of multi-track SAR data is basically the same, the difference between the reference datum and the incident angle should be taken into consideration firstly to realize the fusion and integration of multi-track InSAR deformation rate field.And the developed ratio method and conversion to ALD direction are able to suppress or avoid the impact of incident angle for acquiring large-scale deformation field with high precision and high resolution.The ratio method based on polynomial estimation could correct the influence of incident angle.But the final result corrected by ratio method is located in the unilateral side view reference coordinate system, which is likely to cause far-field deformation and visual distortion.The strategy of conversion to ALD direction could also be applied for integration of large-scale InSAR deformation rate field, and is suitable for large-scale strike-slip fault areas dominated by horizontal displacement.The two strategies are of great significance to realize large-scale and high-precision InSAR deformation rate field reconstruction and they are successfully applied to integration of multi-track InSAR deformation products in the southeast of Tibetan plateau.And the strategy of conversion to ALD direction is slightly better than the ratio method, which shows that ALD transformation strategy is more suitable for southeastern Tibetan plateau.It shows that the actual displacements of the target area are mainly dominated by horizontal displacements, and the premise assumption of ALD conversion strategy is basically tenable.There is no unknown parameter estimation in the ALD conversion strategy, and it is simple and direct, while the ratio method requires polynomial fitting of the overlapping region, which is affected by the residual error in the deformation rate field. © 2022 State Seismology Administration.

ABSTRACT: Many works of literature have agreed that the centralized reconstruction mechanism of China could guarantee an efficient reconstructive enforcement. However, many have also speculated that it might disrupt the involvement of the local parties during its implementation, and have adverse effects on the affected area, especially in the field of housing. However, there is currently limited knowledge on the implementation process of housing reconstruction and its effect on the affected localities. This research conducted an empirical study on Dujiangyan City after the Wenchuan Earthquake. It identified the organizational structure of the involved stakeholders, evaluated the implementation outcomes of respective stakeholders, identified the characteristics of the housing outcomes, and indicated the preferences and limitations of the participating stakeholders. The results indicated that the Chinese top-down housing reconstruction was not inevitably carried out as speculated in the literature. The local government was still a leading force. Its mobilization of local and external stakeholders significantly contributed to providing diverse resettlement options for the affected population. However, the housing outcomes revealed an imbalanced spatial distribution and concentrated on the new urban area. Such characteristics could be attributed to the reconstruction plan that emphasized peri-urban development on a large scale and the organizational method that constrained the stakeholder's participation in all urban areas. Hence, implications are given for the betterment of housing reconstruction in China: a more compact reconstruction plan that adopts cautious renovation to the original urban structure, and sufficient coordination between all stakeholders in the full process of housing reconstruction. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Residents’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction in earthquake-stricken areas directly affects their quality of life, which cannot be ignored in post-disaster reconstruction. More than 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, we took ten randomly selected villages in the five areas hardest-hit by the Wenchuan earthquake as research objects and obtained 483 valid completed questionnaires. The villagers were randomly sampled and descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, and ordered logistic regression were used to explore the factors and relationships influencing villagers’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction in Wenchuan earthquake-stricken areas. The results show that: 1) the more rural residents know about the post-disaster reconstruction, the greater their level of satisfaction; 2) the more the annual income of families increases after resettlement, the greater the satisfaction of rural residents with the post-disaster reconstruction; 3) six public factors, namely the village committee acts as, housing construction quality, public service, policy of benefiting farmers, cultural environment, and hardware environment, all significantly positively affect residents’ overall satisfaction with post-earthquake reconstruction. This study thus enriches the theory of residents’ satisfaction studies and the practice of post-earthquake reconstruction. © © 2022 Ao, Zhong, Zhang, Han, Wang, Chen and Wang.

ABSTRACT: At 3:08 on 6 September 2018 (UTC +9), massive landslides were triggered by an earthquake of Mw 6.6 that occurred in Hokkaido, Japan. In this paper, a coseismic landslide inventory that covers 388 km2 of the earthquake-impacted area and includes 5828 coseismic landslides with a total landslide area of 23.66 km2 was compiled by using visual interpretations of various high-resolution satellite images. To analyze the spatial distribution and characteristics of coseismic landslides, five factors were considered: the peak ground acceleration (PGA), elevation, slope gradient, slope aspect, and lithology. Results show more than 87% of the landslides occurred at 100 to 200 m elevations. Slopes in the range of 10~20°are the most susceptible to failure. The landslide density of the places with peak ground acceleration (PGA) greater than 0.16 g is obviously larger than those with PGA less than 0.02 g. Compared with the number and scale of coseismic landslides caused by other strong earthquakes and the mobility of the coseismic landslides caused by the Haiyan and Wenchuan earthquakes, it was found that the distribution of coseismic landslides was extremely dense and that the mobility of the Hokkaido earthquake was greater than that of the Wenchuan earthquake and weaker than that of the Haiyuan earthquake, and is described by the following relationship: L = 18.454 ∗ H0.612. Comparative analysis of coseismic landslides with similar magnitude has important guiding significance for disaster prevention and reduction and reconstruction planning of landslides in affected areas. © 2022 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The deterioration of the living environment caused by the earthquake is the main migration motivation of residents in the area of the secondary earthquake disaster, and their migration intention is one of the most important factors affecting residents' happiness. This paper uses 957 effective survey samples from 12 secondary geological disaster areas after the Wenchuan earthquake to research the migration intention of residents and its influencing factors. It can be found that 45.2% of residents are willing to migrate, which means they have an instinctive reaction to profit-seeking and harm-avoiding, but it has not become a realistic choice. Investigation facts and research results show that the instinctive response of profit-seeking and harm-avoiding drives residents to make different choices. The migration of residents in areas where secondary geological disasters occur is affected not only by disasters such as debris flow, landslides, and collapse, but also by many factors such as life convenience, family income, expectations for future life, gender, education level, psychological feeling. The improved life and the optimization of the economic conditions brought about by the success of post-disaster reconstruction have made the vast majority of people more confident in the future of the disaster-stricken areas, which made most people choose to stay in those areas. This paper will provide policy suggestions for residents' migration and the reconstruction of the local social governance system in secondary geological disaster areas, which is helpful to improve ecological livability and residents' happiness in the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area. © © 2022 Huang, Wang, Xiao, Li, Zhou and Chen.

ABSTRACT: Build Back Better (BBB) is a strategy published as part of the Sendai Framework which has been widely adopted to achieve long-term, effective and sustainable disaster recovery. Assessment of disaster recovery is crucial for improving understanding of the difficulties and insufficiencies experienced during the reconstruction process and to better support disaster risk reduction policies and investment. However, with the focus being on optimizing the economic and physical environment, citizens’ preferences remain unexamined in existing literature. Therefore, this study aims to create a sustainable recovery framework which takes into account the needs of citizens. Based on systems theory, the proposed framework evaluates the sustainable recovery level of families and communities from three dimensions, namely: Element, Structure, and Function. The Best Worst Method (BWM) was used, involving two rounds of interviews with 11 experts, to determine evaluation indexes for each dimension. The Element dimension consists of five sustainable livelihood capitals. The Structure dimension includes community social capital, leadership, and social governance. The Function dimension includes disaster preparedness, disaster response, immediate recovery, and disaster learning. The proposed framework was used to investigate the degree of sustainable recovery in four towns in Wenchuan County, Mainland China. Through interviews and large-scale surveys, the internal mechanisms that influence the level of sustainable recovery in different communities were identified. Practical recommendations are provided to improve disaster recovery management in developing regions. The proposed framework can assist in the development of recovery standards and evaluations at different levels in China and other parts of the world. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Catastrophic debris flows frequently occur in mountainous areas after an earthquake owing to a substantially increased amount of loosened co-seismic material. Debris flows pose a serious challenge for the reconstruction of earthquake-stricken areas because of their potential reoccurrence over the course of several years after a given earthquake event. It is therefore essential to clarify the dynamics of large-scale debris flows and accurately assess the potential hazard risks. This study selected the Hongchun gully debris flow that occurred on August 14, 2010 in the areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake in southwestern China as a typical case to analyze the formation conditions and physical processes of catastrophic debris flows. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to reconstruct the physical process of the Hongchun gully debris flow across 3D terrain. The SPH numerical results were integrated into the ArcGIS platform to perform further spatial analysis of the hazard intensity and identify the hazard risk level. The calculated accumulated hazard area agrees well with the field data. By introducing a frequency-magnitude empirical formula, a hazard assessment model of debris flows is proposed based on flow depth and momentum, and applied to predict the potential risk of the Hongchun gully debris flow under different recurrence periods. This work provides a new method for performing hazard assessments of debris flows, and also serves as a guide for reconstruction planning in earthquake-hit areas. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: The quantitative and qualitative assessment of post-disaster vegetation damage and recovery in the core area of the Wenchuan earthquake is of great significance for the restoration and reconstruction of natural ecosystems and the construction of human settlements in China. This study used time series analysis to determine the time of MODIS data and used the data to study the vegetation damage and restoration in the core area of the Wenchuan earthquake. The determined MODIS images were used to quantitatively analyze a series of vegetation damage changes and the vegetation recovery rate in the core area of the Wenchuan earthquake before and after the earthquake. By applying the topographic factors, we analyzed the spatial and temporal characteristics of the dynamic changes of vegetation damage and the recovery rate in the disaster area. The results show that the study area’s vegetation damage was correlated to topographic factors and distance from towns. Besides, the overall vegetation restoration after the disaster was relatively optimistic. In some areas, the vegetation restoration level even exceeded the vegetation coverage level before the disaster. The recovery study of MODIS-NDVI showed a specific lag delay effect on the image of vegetation cover. The vegetation damage and the recovery rate of vegetation cover were significantly correlated with the distance from towns and the topographic factor. Overall, the results contribute to the theoretical support for the damage and recovery of vegetation in the core area affected by the earthquake. © 2022 by the authorsLicensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: This study identified the impact of a seismic shock on technological progress in earthquake-stricken areas (ESAs) using a synthetic control method. Technological progress was measured using the total factor productivity (TFP) and the TFP growth rate. The ESAs after the Wenchuan Earthquake in China were used as an empirical case study; the Solow residual model was used to assess the TFP and the TFP growth rate in 16 districts. Counter-factual dynamics for the ESAs were constructed to exclude the effect of the macro-economy. The research findings indicate that technological progress in the ESAs after the Wenchuan Earthquake improved as a result of reconstruction investments. However, there were differences in the speed of technological progress between ESAs. These differences may be attributed to the differences in the industrial characteristics between ESAs. The study concludes that the technological progress of the secondary industry, such as the manufacturing industry and building industry, is more resilient. This refers to the capacity to resist economic losses after the seismic shock, compared to the tertiary industry, such as the service industry and tourist industry. However, there was a larger long-term advancement in the technological progress in the tertiary industry compared to the secondary industry after the earthquake. With this understanding, ESA governments can implement appropriate strategies to meet both short-term needs and sustainable economic growth. © 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company.

ABSTRACT: The ecological environment damage caused by human activities will aggravate the damage of natural disasters and seriously restrict the socioeconomic sustainable development. Therefore, it is a key issue to coordinate the coupling relationship between socioeconomic development (SE) and ecological environment (EE) to reduce the damage of natural disasters to human activities and guarantee the socioeconomic sustainable development after natural disasters. It is an important issue to explore the relationship between economy and environment in post-disaster reconstruction areas and how to coordinate the areas with slower economic development and higher risk of ecological destruction. Based on this, an index system of ecological environment and socioeconomic development was constructed by using the data in the statistical yearbook from 2005 to 2018. The dynamic deviation maximization (DM) method and coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) were used to study the coordination relationship between socioeconomic and ecological environment in Wenchuan earthquake disaster area. The results showed that the coupling coordination degree (CCD) presented an upward trend in the period of post-disaster reconstruction in Wenchuan earthquake disaster area, and the CCD is highly related to the regional topography, city location, urban comprehensive economic level, and urban ecological endowment. The results indicated that the CCD shows a downward trend from provincial capitals to surrounding cities on the basis of the perspective of urban spatial distribution characteristics. On the basis of the research, this paper analyzes the reasons for the differences in CCD scores of different cities and puts forward corresponding policy suggestions, which including speeding up industrial transformation, increasing government investment, and strengthening transportation infrastructure construction. By analyzing the CCD between SE and EE in Wenchuan earthquake disaster area, this paper aims to provide reference for achieving regional sustainable development goals (SDGs) in post-disaster reconstruction, as well as hope to provide an experience reference for post-disaster reconstruction in other disaster areas. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: With the development of interregional trade, a potential disaster that happens in one place could cause enormous economic losses in distant areas. Timely and comprehensive post-disaster assessments play a significant role in guiding disaster recovery, and for reconstruction and planning for future disaster risk reduction. In this study, we evaluate the post-disaster economic impacts due to Sichuan earthquake in 2008 and its regional and industrial spillover effects based on a Chinese multi-regional input–output table. The results show that the 2008 Sichuan earthquake caused around 1725 billion US dollars of value-added losses and 69.9 million people of employment losses. The Chemical industry in Guangdong and Zhejiang suffered severe value-added losses due to indirect effects through supply chains. Furthermore, public administration in Henan, Sichuan, and Guangdong suffered large employment losses. In general, we find that the economically less developed provinces are more susceptible to larger losses compared to the economically developed provinces. The results in this study can provide information for decision-makers to devise effective solutions on how to release relief funds and for dividing adaptation plans to avoid serious economic losses due to future disasters. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Some researchers have found that disasters may have a “blessing in disguise effect” that some disaster sites transformed into more popular tourism destinations; however, no studies have analyzed the heterogeneity of the “blessing in disguise effect”. This paper aims to explore and determine the effect of cultural distance on international inbound tourist arrivals to a post-disaster tourist destination that could explain this heterogeneous phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a threshold regression model and a differences-in-differences (DID) approach to analyze 2000–2016 international tourist arrival data from 13 main origin countries to Sichuan Province before and after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in China. Findings: The effect of cultural distance on post-disaster inbound arrivals from the various origin countries followed a non-linear U-shaped “double-edged sword” pattern rather than displaying a simple linear relationship. Most notably, the disaster appeared to have a more positive effect on arrivals from countries with larger cultural distances, while the effect on arrivals from countries with shorter cultural distances was negative. Originality/value: This study found that cultural distance could explain the heterogeneous “blessing in disguise” phenomenon, and it had both positive and negative impacts on tourism destination recovery; that is, a definite “double-edged sword effect” of cultural distance was found, which could help destination marketing organizations and management departments to design appropriately targeted marketing for post-disaster tourism destination recovery. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: A strong earthquake-induced hazard has obvious long-term and spatial heterogeneity, which will result in continuous social and economic losses. Measuring the socioeconomic development level of the disaster area is of great significance for long-term development reconstruction after an earthquake. First, the kernel density estimation (KDE) is used to analyze the spatial effects of 10 extremely earthquake-stricken areas of the Wenchuan earthquake in this paper. Second, the economic gravity centers from 2006 to 2016 are calculated, and the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of the socioeconomic development level of the study area are analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the effects of strong earthquake-induced hazards and the level of socioeconomic development in earthquake-stricken areas is discussed. The results indicate that the effect of landslide hazards show an oscillatory attenuation trend with time from 2008 to 2016 and has significant spatial differentiation characteristics. The economic gravity centers move in the direction of "moving northeast first and moving southwest later"with time, and the movement trend is closely related to the effect of hazard and the industrial structure of the earthquake-stricken areas. © 2022 Suyue Han et al.

ABSTRACT: Seismic events in China cause serious losses in human lives, as well as damage to infrastructure. On May 12th 2008, the Wenchuan Earthquake of magnitude Mw7.9 heavily shocked most of Western China, resulting in large numbers of housing severely damaged or lost. Recovery and reconstruction quickly kicked off in the affected areas, involving local and national governments and other international actors. This paper focuses on community participation in post-earthquake reconstruction projects in rural areas affected by this earthquake, taking the village of Daping in Sichuan province as a case study to discuss how community participation can contribute to ‘build-back-better’ strategies and sustainable rural development. The reconstruction of Daping took place in 2008 and 2009 after the Wenchuan Earthquake. The authors have explored the process through literature analysis and site investigations, including semi-structured interviews with the local community and local government officials. The local community in Daping drove the building reconstruction, rather than built-environment professionals, and were actively involved in the design and rebuilding process by drawing learnings from traditional building techniques, seismic construction, architectural layout and other vernacular knowledge in relation to dealing with natural changes and the environment. The study exemplifies how community involvement strengthens build-back-better strategies, particularly through the use of local knowledge, which can result in solutions that are better adapted to the needs and the culture of the local communities by enhancing local construction typologies, arranging safer settlements and utilizing more appropriate materials. The findings suggest that regional culture may positively impact post-earthquake reconstruction, supporting the sustainable development of rural areas. © 2022, National Technical University of Athens.

ABSTRACT: Participatory development (PD) has historically treated communities as isolated, homogeneous, relatively free of power relations, and governed by weak states. More recently PD has emphasized participatory governance in democratic state contexts. But how might PD work in a strong state? Following the participatory action research (PAR) strategy, this study examined the application of PD in a community stricken by the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China. It finds that the disaster temporarily weakened the state, allowing room for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to operate and engage residents in reconstruction. But, as basic services returned, strong state control was restored, marginalizing NGOs. Still, the temporary power of NGOs and community organizations offers lessons for expanding participatory local governance. We argue that, if PD NGOs act strategically at such moments, they can at least temporarily build community power and potentially open up opportunities for further community participation. The article concludes with suggestions for using PD and discussion of conducting PAR in a strong state context. © Randy Stoecker and Adrienne Falcón 2022. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: After the catastrophic Wenchuan Earthquake occurred in Sichuan, China in May 2008, a memorial was built to commemorate the disaster. This essay aims to study how the Wenchuan Earthquake Memorial, as a rhetorical space, creates a national image of tenacious rebirth through the rhetorical reconstruction of the trauma. Analysis shows that the memorial selectively remembers the disaster, publicizes the collectivist spirit and the Communist Party’s leadership for their role in disaster relief and reconstruction of the disaster areas, conveys the rhetoric of hope for the people in the disaster areas and the nation, but ignores the controversies surrounding the quality of school buildings and student victims through silence and alternative presentation. As a political carrier and a tool for educating visitors, the memorial has become a politicized space and transformed from a natural historical site to a political memory space, thus realizing the penetration of politics into people’s daily life. © 2022 The Rhetoric Society of America.

ABSTRACT: Geological hazards such as destructive earthquake severely limit the speed and the scale of urbanization at urban scale. However, whether the historical earthquake exert persistent or temporary effects on the urbanization process at county scale also remain intertwined. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was an unparalleled natural disaster in China history, and the Dujiangyan county is one of the ten worst-hit counties. Taking the Dujiangyan county as a case study, we established an indexing systems for urbanization at a county scale. The urbanization level at the county scale was gauged from three dimensions including population, economy and space. The coordinate assessment indicated that the urbanization process at the scale of county had obvious phase characteristics before and after the natural disasters. The suitable post-disaster policies and measures could strengthen the coupling coordination degree among the population, economy and space at the county scale. Triangle analysis indicated the urbanization model of the Dujiangyan county was basically a shift from space-dominated to population-dominated before and after the earthquake. It's indispensable to improve the quality of geological environment to minimize the threats and losses rendered by earthquake and facilitate sustainable urbanization process at county scale. © 2021

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake increased the need for disaster relief and reconstruction projects in China. This disaster created an upsurge of Chinese grant-making foundations, which then increased funding expectations. Many grassroots social organizations (SOs) in China believed that going forward, this level of funding would continue. However, the majority of grassroots SOs in China are currently facing an existential crisis. Their survival is being threatened by a shortage of funding from both local and foreign grant-making foundations. This research uses an empirical analysis of grant-making foundations and in-depth interviews, as well as observational evidence accumulated over a 10-year period, to explore the distribution of funding from foundations to grassroots SOs in China. The findings show that there are a limited number of Chinese grant-making foundations and that the foundations that exist do not include grassroots SOs in their funding scheme. © 2021 by the Regents of the University of California.

ABSTRACT: This study is a retrospective evaluation of the longterm benefits of rural housing reconstruction in Dujiangyan city (DJY) after the Wenchuan earthquake from a land unification perspective based on statistical data, field investigation, literature review, and a case study. Research shows after the Wenchuan earthquake, during rural housing reconstruction, DJY optimized land development strategies through planning guidance, promoted marketized transfers of land resources, clarified the attribution of land rights through policy support to protect the interests of disaster victims, established equilibrium in the interests of the government, market, and masses, and coordinated the functions of life, production, and ecology through categorized reconstruction. Practice proves that implementation of post-earthquake housing reconstruction, guided by land unification and land-use transformation, reshapes rural form and the rural-urban relationship, thereby facilitating rural revitalization and integrated rural-urban development. © Fuji Technology Press Ltd.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 devastated poverty-stricken areas in Sichuan Province, China. This paper examines the long-term effect of a disastrous earthquake on children's educational attainment using China's 2015 Population Census. Our cohort difference-in-differences results show that exposure to an earthquake has an unexpected significant positive impact on girls’ educational attainment in poor counties, but not on boys. We suggest that this surprising educational gain may be attributable to the reconstruction of schools and the reduction in school fees after disaster. In the long run, girls in poor affected counties are more likely to delay marriage, postpone childbearing and become self-employed compared with girls in poor unaffected counties. These findings potentially exhibit the unintended benefits in education from post-disaster interventions in poor areas. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

ABSTRACT: Whether it can quickly and effectively predict the susceptibility of regional earthquake landslides to achieve rapid rescue, loss assessment and post-disaster reconstruction has always been a difficult problem. However, the traditional high-precision evaluation of seismic landslide susceptibility often relies heavily on the complete or incomplete landslide inventory, which is poor in timeliness and cannot effectively evaluate the target area before or shortly after the earthquake. In most cases, the Newmark model relies on experts' experience to select model parameters, therefore the evaluation result of this method is unstable and it lacks strong generalization ability. A fused model is proposed to classify the positive and negative training samples of the study area through the evaluation results of the Newmark model under the slope units, and it applies a variety of statistical learning models to evaluate the landslide susceptibility of the Wenchuan earthquake based on the classification results of the Newmark model. The results show that the evaluation of the statistical learning model fused with the Newmark model has higher accuracy. This method can overcome the inherent shortcomings of a single Newmark model to obtain better evaluation results without relying on obtaining the complete landslide inventory. Meanwhile, the model can be applied to quickly obtain the evaluation results of regional landslide susceptibility before or shortly after the earthquake, thereby effectively reducing human and economic losses caused by earthquake landslides. © 2021 The authors and IOS Press.

ABSTRACT: There has been considerable research on the prolonged effects and evolution of post-earthquake landslides, as they are of significance for disaster relief and rebuilding plans in earthquake-impacted regions. There is a need to better quantify these prolonged effects and evolution based on the hydro-mechanical mechanisms of post-earthquake landslides. This study investigated the evolution of the hydro-mechanical behaviour and parameters of a single landslide by integrating experimental and theoretical analyses. Analyses were undertaken using a time series of in situ monitoring data over five hydrological years on a single landslide site in the Baisha River basin of Dujiangyan, in the Wenchuan earthquake region, China. Results indicated a linear increase in the angle of internal friction under prolonged effects, while soil cohesion decreased non-linearly, gradually approaching a lower limit. The saturated hydraulic conductivity (K<inf>s</inf>) increased, and the soil residual water content (θ<inf>r</inf>) evolution curve conformed to the Boltzmann function distribution model. The soil–water characteristic curve parameters gradually increased. Based on the hydro-mechanical parameter evolution, the spatiotemporal decay of the landslide over the next decade under extreme rainfall conditions was predicted using the rainfall slope stability models and TRIGRS. This paper proposed a mechanistic explanation for the prolonged effects of a post-earthquake landslide in response to rainfall. Furthermore, it provided a reliable theoretical basis for the early warning and prevention of such landslides. © 2021, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: Concentrated rural settlement (CRS) was used for housing reconstruction in Sichuan Province, China, after the Wenchuan earthquake. Although CRS is claimed to provide enhanced infrastructure and public services, a sufficient number of farmers should be involved to reduce costs. Existing studies on CRS reconstruction overlook potential conflicts during reconstruction, which may hinder CRS reconstruction. This study explores the collective behaviors of rural victims and the local government in the process of CRS reconstruction. Evolutionary game analysis and agent-based simulation are applied to identify the evolutionary stable strategy for rural victims and the local government. Findings of this study can facilitate the local government in improving post-disaster recovery in terms of CRS. It can also provide an alternative method for investigating the behaviors of stakeholders during resettlement after disasters in other regions and countries. © 2021 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: Scientific grade scale of natural disasters contributes to the effective distribution of relief and reconstruction supplies. Based on the direct economic loss and casualties in Wenchuan Earthquake, gross regional product (GRP) and population in the affected areas, the ratio of the direct economic loss to GRP in last year, named as loss ratio, is a relative index of economic loss, and the ratio of the population of death, missing and serious injuries to the total population, named as casualty ratio, was a relative index of casualties. The grade scale, with these two indices, was discussed further. Economic growth rate is considered as an alternative factor, which could represent, even influence on the capacity of disaster-bearing units. The ratio of the loss ratio to the annual economic growth rate in the last three years is suggested to replace the loss ratio as the index of economic loss, and different grade scales are given on the levels of nation, province and county. In coordination with this, “life year is introduced as an index of disaster losses, a “life year -based grade scale of natural disaster is provided. © 2021 Shaanxi Earthquake Agency.

ABSTRACT: In terms of events that undermine economic growth, the impact of natural disasters is huge and inevitable. Taking the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake as the research object, and based on the country-year data for 181 counties in Sichuan Province from 1999 to 2018, this paper uses the dynamic difference-in-difference method to investigate the indirect impact of this event on the economy. The main findings are as follows: Even though the central government has introduced reconstruction policies and invested a lot of reconstruction funds, in 2018, the per capita income in the extremely and relatively severe disaster areas was still significantly lower than the counterfactual by 21.96% and 7.61%, respectively. There is heterogeneity in the long-term indirect impacts in areas with different disaster levels, and the economies of the extremely severe disaster areas may form a "poverty trap," while the economies of the relatively severe disaster areas are still in a slow recovery state. It was further found that the assistance of central government’s reconstruction funds and the increase in local government expenditure are the reasons for the rapid economic recovery in the short term, and the insufficient level of total demand caused by the investment and consumption is the main reasons for the negative indirect impact on the economy in the disaster areas. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: The Chinese government established a counterpart support mechanism and ecological civilization construction to promote socioeconomic development and ecological protection after the Wenchuan earthquake. However, the contradiction between the ecological environment and socioeconomic is still has not changed fundamentally. How to coordinate the relationship between the socioeconomic and ecological environment in the disaster area has become a key issue to the sustainable development after the Wenchuan earthquake. The purpose of this paper is to research the coupling and coordination relationship between socioeconomic and ecological environment to provide reference for Wenchuan earthquake disaster area to achieve regional sustainable development goals (SDGs) and high-quality development. Based on this, the dynamic deviation maximization (DM) method and coupling coordination model (CCD) were used to calculate the indicator weight and the overall coordination relationship between socioeconomic (SE) and ecological environment (EE) in Wenchuan earthquake disaster area by using the data from 2005 to 2018. The results showed that the CCD of the Wenchuan earthquake disaster area has increased from 2005 to 2018. From the spatial characteristics, the comprehensive evaluation score of CCD decreased from northeast to southwest in the disaster area, and there is still a significant spatial difference in the disaster area. Besides, the interesting finding is that post-disaster reconstruction and recovery capacity are closely related to location factors, population factors and altitude factors. On this basis, the causes of regional differences are analyzed, and some corresponding concrete suggestions are proposed, involving strengthen the policies to prevent labor loss, expand the characteristic industries of each country according to local conditions, and increase investment in technological innovation. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: This study contributes to an in-depth examination of how Wenchuan earthquake disaster survivors utilize intensive built environment reconstruction outcomes (housing and infrastructural systems) to facilitate their long-term social and economic recovery and sustainable rural development. Post-disaster recovery administered via top-down disaster management systems usually consists of two phases: a short-term, government-led reconstruction (STGLR) of the built environment and a long-term, survivor-led recovery (LTSLR) of human and social settings. However, current studies have been inadequate in examining how rural disaster survivors have adapted to their new government-provided housing or how communities conducted their long-term recovery efforts. This qualitative case study invited sixty rural disaster survivors to examine their place-making activities utilizing government-delivered, urban-style residential communities to support their long-term recovery. This study discovered that rural residents’ recovery activities successfully perpetuated their original rural lives and rebuilt social connections and networks both individually and collectively. However, they were only able to manage their agriculture-based livelihood recovery temporarily. This research suggests that engaging rural inhabitants’ place-making expertise and providing opportunities to improve their housing and communities would advance the long-term grassroots recovery of lives and livelihoods, achieving sustainable development. © 2021 by the author.

ABSTRACT: Although local government staff are crucial in post-quake reconstruction, their long-term psychological and professional consequences remain unclear. This longitudinal study investigated changes of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and professional burnout over seven years, and their underlying relationship. The study assessed 250 staff at one year (T<inf>1y</inf>) after the earthquake, and 162 (64.8 %) were followed up at seven years (T<inf>7y</inf>). PTSD and professional burnout were assessed with the Short Screening Scale for DSM-IV PTSD and the burnout subscale of Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), respectively, at both time points. Longitudinal changes in PTSD and burnout were examined and cross-lagged panel analyses were conducted to test the relationship between PTSD and burnout. The rates of positive cases of PTSD screening were 23.2 % at T<inf>1y</inf> and 11.1 % at T<inf>7y</inf>. The percentages of moderate burnout were 61.7 % at T<inf>1y</inf> and 23.5 % at T<inf>7y</inf>. Scores of PTSD (z = -5.70, p < 0.001) and burnout (t = 10.07, p < 0.001) from T<inf>1y</inf> to T<inf>7y</inf> decreased. The cross-lagged analysis indicated that burnout at T<inf>1y</inf> predicted PTSD at T<inf>7y</inf> (β = 0.19, p = 0.025). In conclusion, the Wenchuan earthquake has long-lasting negative effects on local government staff, although they can recover over time. Interventions to reduce professional burnout after disaster may does be beneficial to decrease the risk of PTSD in the long run. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Strong earthquakes in mountainous regions can trigger massive landslides, and not just during the period of shaking. This study uses a time series of remote images to better understand the distribution of landslides near the epicenter of the 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake. We use multi-year high-resolution satellite images to interpret landslides and establish landslide inventories spanning from 2008 to 2019. Based on differencing pre-earthquake and post-earthquake digital elevation models (DEMs), we calculate the factor of safety (F<inf>s</inf>, i.e., resisting forces versus driving forces) of slopes using a simplified Newmark model. Results show that landslide occurrence highly relies on slope stability, demonstrated by both co-seismic and post-seismic landslide mapping. According to the F<inf>s</inf> analysis, which is closely related to the gradual slope change after the earthquake, most slopes within the study area stabilized after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, consistent with the decreasing trend of the landslide activity level. However, due to lithologic variation, the changes of post-earthquake slope stability may differ with landscape features in various regions and result in different geologic hazards. Thus, we highlight the necessity of continuous post-seismic monitoring and analysis of slope stability in different affected regions. The results of this work provide useful information for post-seismic infrastructure reconstruction and future earthquake disaster prevention in mountainous areas. © 2021, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters, threatening ecological balance and security. Ecosystem services (ESs) reflect the multiple functions of an ecosystem. However, based on catastrophic disasters, the contributions of various factors to ESs recovery have not been previously quantified. We follow recovery after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake to gain insight into these processes. To quantify ESs, biophysical models were applied, including scenario simulation and Geodetector methods that were used to explore the driving forces. We concluded as follows: in overall study area, ESs showed an insignificant but undulating increase from 2001 to 2017, indicating the earthquake had slight but long-term effects. In the vegetated areas denuded by co-seismic landslides, the loss in ESs was twice that in non-denuded areas, and the damaged ESs did not recover to pre-earthquake levels by 2017. Overall, climate change was the main driving force, and the factors directly related to local climate had a more obvious impact on ESs especially elevation and geomorphic types. More than three quarters of study area showed ESs increases, with climate (accounting for 40.26%) and its multiple interactions with non-climate factors (accounting for 45.91%) contributed the most to ESs restoration, respectively at low elevations and in the subalpine mountains. Nearly a quarter of the study area was still degraded, of which the proportion of the area representing non-climate-driven factors had increased (accounting for 20.68%). The intensity of ESs degradation mainly concentrated in XI and X regions where co-seismic landslides were dense, which was one of the most influential non-climate factors. We therefore recommend that in the post-disaster reconstruction stage, more attention should be paid to restoration and maintenance of ecological service functions in areas with frequent secondary disasters, so as to maximize the benefits of post-disaster reconstruction projects and seek socio-economic and ecological environment collaborative development. © 2021 The Author(s)

ABSTRACT: Background: Disaster experiences have long-term health effects. However, less is known about the pathways of the association between disaster experiences and people's long-term health. We aimed to examine the long-term (10-year) effect of housing damage in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake on survivors’ health and to explore the pathways of the long-term effect. Methods: We used data from a survey conducted in 2018 in rural areas affected by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The survey collected information on housing damage caused by the earthquake from survivors aged 18 years old or above. Our primary outcome was dichotomous self-rated health in 2018. We considered decreased living standards and debt burden as mediators. To examine the long-term effect of housing damage on health, we performed multivariable binary logistic regression models. We also performed mediation analyses using the “KHB-method”. Results: Compared with no/slight damage, serious damage (odds ratio (OR): 1.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11,2.04) and collapse (OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.13,2.18) were associated with a higher risk of poor health. Decreased living standards and debt burden mediated 8.49% and 4.79%, respectively, of the association between serious damage and poor health and 10.64% and 6.10%, respectively, of the association between collapse and poor health. Conclusion: Housing damage in a natural disaster is a long-term risk for survivors’ health. Long-term policies and interventions are necessary to protect and promote the health of survivors who experience housing damage. In addition to house reconstruction assistance, policies and interventions can be designed to promote living standards and financial situations to protect survivors’ health. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Large earthquake-triggered landslides, in particular rock avalanches, can have catastrophic consequences. However, without accelerometer records, the recognition of slopes prone to such failures remains difficult, because slope-specific seismic response depends on many factors including local topography, landforms, structure and internal geology. We address these issues by exploring the case of a rock avalanche of >3 million m3 triggered by the 2008 Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake in the Longmen Shan range, China. The failure, denominated Yangjia gully rock avalanche, occurred in Beichuan County (Sichuan Province), one of the areas that suffered the highest shaking intensity and death toll caused by co-seismic landsliding. Even though the Wenchuan earthquake produced tens of large (volume > 1 million m3) rock avalanches, many of which resulted in dangerous landslides, few studies so far have examined the pre-2008 history of the failed slope or reported on the stratigraphic record of mass-movement deposits exposed along local river courses. The presented case of the Yangjia gully rock avalanche shows the importance of such attempts as they provide information on the recurrence of large slope failures and their associated hazards. Our effort stems from recognition, on 2005 satellite imagery, of topography and morphology indicative of a large, apparently pre-historic slope failure and the associated breached landslide dam, both features closely resembling the forms generated in the catastrophic 2008 earthquake. The follow-up reconstruction recognizes an earlier landslide deposit exhumed from beneath the 2008 Yangjia gully rock avalanche by fluvial erosion since May 2008. We infer a seismic trigger also for the pre-2008 rock avalanche based on the following circumstantial evidence: i) the same source area (valley-facing, terminal portion of a flat-topped, elongated mountain ridge) located within one and a half kilometer of the seismically active Beichuan fault; ii) significant directional amplification of ground vibration, sub-parallel to the failed slope direction, detected via ambient noise measurements on the ridge adjacent to the source area of the 2008 rock avalanche and iii) common depositional and textural features of the two landslide deposits. Then, we show how, through consideration of the broader geomorphic and seismo-tectonic contexts, one can gain insight into the spatial and temporal recurrence of catastrophic slope failures in Beichuan County and elsewhere in the Longmen Shan. This insight, combined with local-scale geologic and geomorphologic knowledge, may guide selection of suspect slopes for reconnaissance, wide-area ambient noise investigation aimed at discriminating their relative susceptibility to co-seismic catastrophic failures. We indicate the feasibility of such investigations through the example of this study, which uses 3-component velocimeters designed to register low amplitude ground vibration. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Counterpart support (strategically coordinated disaster aid through partnership) policies provide guidance for emergency management and reconstruction, focusing upon short time period after natural disasters. However, determination of the quantitative levels of counterpart support remains a key challenge area in the literature, and practice. The goal of the research is to fill such gaps by introducing an index framework consisting of an inter-regional input-output model (IRIO) and a resilience index, where appropriate measures of indirect economic losses are developed from an IRIO, and the indirect economic losses are achieved by using the provincial economic resilience assessment index system. To examine the internal validity, including systematic error or bias, we investigated the reliability of the adopting models, calculation methods and index systems. To explore the external validity of the proposed measures and resilience index over the widely applied IRIO framework, data from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, an 8.0Ms earthquake that devastated parts of China, was utilized for obtaining parameter values of the framework. A follow-up investigation found that the fairness of counterpart support has been substantially enhanced and the satisfaction has been noticeably improved. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.

ABSTRACT: Despite the economic statistics from recent years indicating outstanding economic recovery in disaster-affected areas after the Wenchuan Ms 8.0 Earthquake, the causes of these macro-economic changes remain ambiguous. The Chinese Government set up the counterpart assistance policy to aid post-disaster reconstruction after the Wenchuan Ms 8.0 Earthquake in 2008; however, whether the changes seen in the economic statistics can be attributed to this policy remains unclear. This article uses the difference-in-differences model to evaluate the effects of counterpart assistance on economic development in disaster areas. Thirty-nine severely affected counties were chosen as research objects and divided into a treatment group (18 recipient counties) and a control group (non-recipient counties). Empirical results indicate the counterpart assistance policy helped to significantly improve the real GDP and GDP growth rate per capita in the treatment group. Counterpart assistance influenced the real GDP principally by increasing investment in fixed assets, employment, urbanization level, and fiscal expenditure. The findings of this study deepen our understanding of counterpart assistance within the Chinese context. © The Author(s) 2021.

ABSTRACT: Disaster resilience is an ongoing learning process for individuals, families, communities, and society in general to prepare for, respond to, adapt to, and recover from disaster events. This capacity requires a synthesis of multiple elements, including natural, built, social, cultural, economic, and political environments. Architects are on the front line to facilitate postdisaster reconstruction of human settlement, overseeing the quality of structural and infrastructural systems to better support the various social and humanitarian recovery efforts. From the architectural perspective of disaster research and practice, this chapter examines various aspects of building resilience in human settlement. Using the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction initiative in China as an example, this chapter illustrates how the lack of balance among different societal factors (such as social, economic, and cultural) in built environment reconstruction directly damages other aspects of recovery, which significantly delays the capacity-building process of resilience. © Oxford University Press 2021.

ABSTRACT: The authors established a pressure-state-response (P–S–R) evaluation system, using 3S technologyand comprehensive evaluation method, a systematic study on the fault effect of the dynamic changes in the study area’s ecological environment is conducted. The result shows that the ecological environment problems around the seismogenic fault are more prominent. The closer to the fault, the worse the ecological environment is. The area within 3 km from seismogenic fault is in high risk where the quality of the ecological environment is declining, and within the range of 0–2 km is the area where ecological environment declines most significantly. The susceptibility of geological disasters around the fault zone leads to a decline in the stability of the regional eco-system. The area surrounding the fault zone should be regarded as a key area for post-earthquake monitoring and ecological restoration. Seismogenic fault often has better natural resources and site conditions. Therefore, the speed of ecological restoration is significantly higher than that of other regions. In the process of ecological restoration and reconstruction, favourable factors around the seismogenic fault must be fully utilised to accelerate the recovery of the ecological environment. The research results are of great significance to the post-disaster ecological environment protection and coordinated socio-economic development. © 2021, Scibulcom Ltd.. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Province, China caused surface damage, frequent landslides and debris flow, which further exacerbated the flash flood hazards. Two giant debris flows in Longxi River basin (located in Wenchuan county) occurred due to heavy rainfall after the earthquake: one was on August 13,2010, and the other on August 18,2010. Reduction and risk assessment of flash floods are the key issues in post-disaster reconstruction. Due to lack of sufficient research data, hydrological prediction models are employed as important and cost-efficient mitigation tools. Wenchuan earthquake area was taken as study site in order to illustrate the influence of geographical environmental changes on micro-mechanism of mountain floods. In this paper, hydrological observation and simulations using remote sensing data and the WMS HEC-1 model are carried out in the typical flood-hitting area (Jianping Gully basin, Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, China). The hydrological response of rainfall runoff is discussed. Precipitation over the study area affects the runoff and floods, however precipitation has positive relation with the peak flood discharge. The simulation shows that the peak flood and runoff volume on August 13, 2010 is close to a 10-year maximum. The flash flood was the main cause of the large debris flow on that event. However, peak runoff remains the same regardless of the intensity of rainfall, which may be due to the shape of the river basin and the initial conditions of the model setting. This paper can get better understanding of the forming mechanism, evolution process, distribution and assessment of torrential flood induced by a devastating earthquake. © 2021, HARD Publishing Company.

ABSTRACT: The role of the paired assistance policy (PAP) in facilitating recovery after the Wenchuan earthquake in China on 12 May 2008 is best analysed from a network perspective. This paper makes five assumptions to explore the relationship, and then draws on three additional cases to examine them. The key findings support all five assumptions. First, the interactions of authority compliance initiated the PAP, and second, the interactions of resource input significantly contributed to rapid reconstruction following the earthquake. Third, the interactions of knowledge transfer supported social system recovery, and fourth, the interactions of benefit reciprocity laid the foundation for sustainable recovery. Fifth, by contrast, the interactions of performance comparison caused suboptimal overfunding of particular public infrastructure projects and reduced local self-reliance to some extent. Finally, suggestions are made to improve the policy implications of extending the use of the PAP in other administrative contexts. The PAP could become an even more important policy device in the future. © 2019 The Authors Disasters © 2019 Overseas Development Institute

ABSTRACT: How nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) enhance civil society development in China is underresearched while the extant literature centers on the government–NGO relationship. Applying the extended case method, this study explores how an NGO-facilitated community reconstruction program followed the community empowerment approach to foster local civil society in the wake of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. We argue that community reconstruction opened space for NGOs to nurture public spheres and residents’ civic engagement, foster community organizing, and support community participation in local governance. The dynamics reveals the functioning and limitations of the community empowerment approach for civil society development in contemporary China. © The Author(s) 2020.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, China has encountered Wenchuan, Yushu, Taiwan earthquake and other major disaster events pushed the research of emergency building to the forefront. Judging from the present situation of post-earthquake reconstruction in China, it is not perfect in terms of emergency reconstruction and the design of buildings is also deficient to some extent. At present, the forefront of international research on post-disaster emergency measures is mainly focused on earthquake-prone countries, such as Japan and the United States. After the Wenchuan earthquake, the Chinese government quickly deployed post-disaster reconstruction and issued a series of regulations. The application of some light structures such as container and wood building in post-disaster reconstruction has gradually become the focus of scholars. R factor analysis method is adopted in this article, try to research on the design of the container and wood buildings combined with the practice of reconstruction, and has set up a variety of structure in the field of light structure architectural practice support as a case, a container and wooden buildings in the post-disaster reconstruction design strategies and explore possibilities for the future development, the application of the post-disaster reconstruction work after have a certain guiding significance. © 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

ABSTRACT: After the Wenchuan earthquake, the overall post-reconstruction of the affected area was completed in 2 years with significant achievements in a top-down fashion. However, the secondary large-scale mass movements and floods that followed the earthquake have shattered mountain settlements and resulted in serious loss of life and property over the last ten years. Local people have taken their own initiative for house reconstruction and recovery. Having taken the tremendous government-driven reconstruction into consideration, the current study aims to understand the contribution of bottom-up approach in whole reconstruction process in Jianjiang River, Longmen Mountain Town of Sichuan, China. This study reveals that in the process of individual rebuilding, local households have tried to construct houses by using more contemporary structures and local resources to rebuild smaller buildings. Such reconstruction activities have changed their lifestyle and source of income to cope with future disasters and adapt with the post-disaster recovery process. Rural households shifted their income sources from tourism to labour migration while revitalizing farming for food and additional income. More than half of residents have no worry about the risk of disasters in reconstruction areas. The bottom-up adaptation can be more sustainable in Longmen Mountain area and provide a reference for other rural areas under recovery after disasters. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: As a rural development approach, concentrated rural settlement (CRS) was used for rural reconstruction when Wenchuan earthquake opened the opportunity window of quick and wide implementation. Although CRS has both proponents and critics, few studies have investigated the recovery success of villages reconstructed with CRS. This research gap has resulted in insufficient theoretical guidance for the practice of CRS and inefficient summarization and transfer of relevant experiences. This study therefore aims to measure the recovery success of three villages reconstructed with CRS located in the hardest-hit areas of the Wenchuan earthquake. Full-permutation polygon synthetic indicator method is adopted to evaluate the recovery success of the three case villages from the economic, social, environmental and disaster relief aspects. It is found that the three case villages have good overall recovery performances as economic, social, and environmental aspects improved a lot from 2008 to 2015, whereas the disaster relief recovery performance increased at the first several years but dramatically decreased at the later years. The implications inferred from the case studies are discussed in detail. This study provides a reference to local governments for monitoring CRS development and for improving recovery of villages reconstructed with CRS. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: The extremely rapid and fundamental reshaping of socioeconomic structures in rural China produced a wave of left-behind children and stay-behind elders (SBEs). Although the wellness of the children has been examined through research and practice, the plight of the elderly in a swiftly urbanizing built environment has rarely been studied. After the Wenchuan earthquake, urban condominiums were swiftly erected in rural Sichuan. These multi-storied structures, presenting minimal correlation with local societal environment, were disparagingly referred to as airdropped urban condominiums (AUCs) by local residents. This 10-year qualitative research examined the influence of AUCs on the SBEs' overall well-being in various aspects during the long-term post-earthquake recovery, by assessing 22 SBEs from 11 rural communities in the worst-hit areas in Sichuan. In addition to hampering the elders' mobility, the AUCs interrupted the SBEs’ original rural lifestyle, endangered their social connections and social networks, destroyed their traditional agriculture-based livelihoods, and weakened their political agency. The cumulative vacuum of these cultural, social, economic, and political capitals further jeopardizes their overall well-being. This research provides evidence-based reconstruction strategies to inform rural revitalization planning and policy/decision making, especially in the settings that were swiftly redeveloped post-disaster. The community-driven and community-engagement planning and design approach plays a seminal role in rural redevelopment discourse of better serving SBE and other vulnerable and marginalized groups. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: This article presents the difference in patterns of NGOs’ post-disaster reconstruction between the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 Lushan earthquake based on a case study of the One Foundation. The comparative studies of the One Foundation’s activities during the two responses illustrate that the organizational strategy gradually shifted from “resource-based” to “learning-based”. Their approach evolved from the providing of resources to the providing of knowledge, as they transformed both aid providers and recipients into collaborative learners, changed a resource-delivery organization into a learning organization and shaped a decentralized partnership of organizations into a mutual learning ecosystem in which knowledge flowed in multiple directions. This example of the One Foundation illustrates the potential future directions of NGOs' participation in disaster response in China. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: Most disaster research has focused on business recovery at a point in time or over a short period of time, with the goal of summarizing the experience to reduce business vulnerability in future disasters. However, studies on long-term business recovery processes may be more useful for providing lessons that support sustained business operations after a disaster. This study considers the changes in business’ operating statuses following the initial survival of a large earthquake and examines how different factors influence sustained business operations during the long-term recovery after a disaster. The study uses logistic regression techniques along with field investigations and questionnaire data collected from 256 New Beichuan businesses that remained open following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. The study results showed that some of the original surviving businesses closed during the subsequent post-disaster operation process. As such, identifying businesses reopening after the disaster cannot be equated with long-term recovery. Factors significantly influencing the sustained operation of a business after the Wenchuan earthquake included: pre-disaster financial conditions, post-disaster monthly average profit, borrowing of money from family or friends, the business owner’s gender, and government subsidies. Study findings have important theoretical implications for research on the long-term recovery of businesses after an earthquake. Findings also have practical value for business owners selecting post-disaster sustainable operation strategies. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: Catastrophic disasters can change the course of urban development and challenge the long-run sustainability of cities and regions. How to rapidly reconstruct communities impaired by catastrophic disaster is a world-wide challenge. The reconstruction after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China was an unusual case of very rapid reconstruction after a catastrophic disaster. Over US$147 billion was invested to rebuild the damaged areas within 3 years. The reconstruction was not simply building back what was destroyed, but was used as an opportunity to advance national goals for urbanization, rural transformation, and poverty reduction. In this article, we review how the reconstruction was planned, budgeted, and financed in the sociopolitical context of 2008 China. Particularly, we discuss two innovative programs, namely pair assistance and land-based financing. Despite the unique circumstances of China, lessons can be learned to speed up post-disaster reconstruction and urban development in other countries. Conversely, this case illustrates that a narrow focus on physical reconstruction may overlook broader economic and social issues. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: This article explores the spatial differentiation and integration between the post-disaster victims and the indigenous peasants 8 years after a rapid off-site resettlement oriented by governments in New Beichuan. Data were broadly collected from placement documents, questionnaires, interviews and site measurement by empirical research and on-site investigation in 2014. The resettlement plan was introduced and analyzed for housing resettlement, open space systems, public facilities allocation and resettlement policies. Based on statistical analysis of the questionnaire data and observation on the usage of the built environment, problems with the spatial usage and mismatches between the specific spatial requirements and subjective planning intention of integration are analyzed and preliminary findings are shown. The results showed that the excessive pursuit of speed and deficiency in economically self-sustaining efforts might contribute to insufficient attention given to spatial, social and economic aspects and leads to inevitable and long-standing problems, such as housing quality problems, neighborhoods management and security concerns, contradictions between the housing layout and local living habits, different spatial usage preferences between the indigenous peasants and post-disaster migrants, and disequilibrium of public facility allocation. © 2019, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: Long-term outcomes and collaborative governance are particularly worthy of discussion when examining the recovery process from natural disasters. In the long and dynamic processes of recovery, how do the primary participants responsible for recovery adapt and change to meet social and economic objectives? This paper argues that the approach to recovery following the Wenchuan Earthquake in China experienced a transformation from paired assistance under centralized political mobilization to collaborative networks. Based on an in-depth case study of the Shanghai–Dujiangyan Paired Assistance Policy, we find that recovery from the Wenchuan Earthquake can be demarcated and described in terms of three stages involving government-oriented project aid, contract-oriented industrial redevelopment, and network-oriented collaborative governance. Four determinants contributed to these transformation processes: (1) The central government was promoted as the responsible entity for guiding recovery efforts from the catastrophe, and the effective political mobilization under the Paired Assistance Policy (PAP) and interactions between subnational assisting governments ensured the timeliness, diversity, and quality of aid projects; (2) industry recovery policies provided the policy environment for enterprises to participate in industrial recovery, and beneficial reciprocity became the key attraction for outside private enterprises to participate in the industrial recovery of Dujiangyan; (3) the participation of social organizations as emergent organizations in the recovery contributed to the formation of collaborative networks; and (4) the trust, friendship, and mutually beneficial relationships that were developed over the 3-year term of the PAP provided a strong foundation for the formation of collaborative networks, which were essential to facilitating longer term recovery. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: This paper offers a critical investigation on the implementation of reconstruction plans in China following Wenchuan Earthquake through the lens of disaster resilience. The analysis is built upon a resilience in planning framework which consists of nine attributes. Empirical cases of two typical towns in Wenchuan County, Weizhou and Yingxiu, are discussed and compared. This paper upholds an evolutionary perspective of resilience and argues that reconstruction planning is a contested and politically laden field for different stakeholders, such that social aspect resilience is key to understanding plan implementation. © 2018, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: A serious earthquake could trigger thousands of landslides and produce some slopes more sensitive to slide in future. Landslides could threaten human's lives and properties, and thus mapping the post-earthquake landslide susceptibility is very valuable for a rapid response to landslide disasters in terms of relief resource allocation and posterior earthquake reconstruction. Previous researchers have proposed many methods to map landslide susceptibility but seldom considered the spatial structure information of the factors that influence a slide. In this study, we first developed a U-net like model suitable for mapping post-earthquake landslide susceptibility. The post-earthquake high spatial airborne images were used for producing a landslide inventory. Pre-earthquake Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) images and the influencing factors such as digital elevation model (DEM), slope, aspect, multi-scale topographic position index (mTPI), lithology, fault, road network, streams network, and macroseismic intensity (MI) were prepared as the input layers of the model. Application of the model to the heavy-hit area of the destructive 2008 Wenchuan earthquake resulted in a high validation accuracy (precision 0.77, recall 0.90, F1 score 0.83, and AUC 0.90). The performance of this U-net like model was also compared with those of traditional logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) models on both the model area and independent testing area with the former being stronger than the two traditional models. The U-net like model introduced in this paper provides us the inspiration that balancing the environmental influence of a pixel itself and its surrounding pixels to perform a better landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) task is useful and feasible when using remote sensing and GIS technology. ©

ABSTRACT: The border areas of the Tibetan Plateau and the neighboring mountainous areas have a high incidence of earthquakes with a magnitude greater than M<inf>s</inf> 5.0, as well as having a dense distribution of geological disasters such as collapses, landslides, and debris flows. Revealing the post-disaster economic development and recovery process is very important for enhancing disaster prevention and response capacity in order to formulate control policies and recovery methods for post-disaster economic reconstruction based on economic resilience. Using long-term socioeconomic data and the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, this paper calculated the economic resilience index of the areas most severely affected by the Wenchuan Earthquake of 2008 and adopted the improved variable returns to scale (VRS) date envelopment analysis (DEA) model and the Malmquist productivity index to analyze the efficiency and effect of annual post-disaster recovery. The results show that: (1) the economic resilience index of the areas most severely affected by the Wenchuan Earthquake was 0.877. The earthquake resulted in a short-term economic recession in the affected areas, but the economy returned to pre-quake levels within two years. In addition, the industrial economy was less resilient than agriculture and the service industry. (2) The comprehensive economic recovery efficiency of the disaster-stricken area in the year following the disaster was 0.603. The comprehensive efficiency, the pure technical efficiency, and the scale efficiency of the plain and hilly areas were significantly greater than those of the plateau and mountain areas. (3) The annual fluctuation in total factor productivity (TFP) following the disaster was considerable, and the economic recovery efficiency decreased significantly, resulting in a short-term economic recession. The TFP index returned to steady state following decreases of 33.7% and 15.2%, respectively, in the two years following the disaster. (4) The significant decrease in the post-disaster recovery efficiency was caused mainly by technological changes, and the renewal of the production system was the leading factor in determining the economic resilience following the disaster. With the decline in the scale of economic recovery following the earthquake, long-term economic recovery in the disaster-stricken areas depended mainly on pure technical efficiency, and the improvement in the latter was the driving force for maintaining the long-term growth of the post-disaster economy. Therefore, according to the local characteristics of natural environment and economic system, the disaster-stricken areas need to actively change and readjust their economic structures. At the same time, attention should be paid to updating the production system to enhance the level of technological progress and give full play to the scale effects of large-scale capital, new facilities, human resources, and other investment factors following the disaster so as to enhance the impact of economic resilience and recovery efficiency in response to the disaster. © 2020, Science in China Press.

ABSTRACT: Since the “5.12” Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, frequent geologic hazards along the Longmenshan fault zone have had significant impacts on the socioeconomic conditions in the earthquake-stricken areas. Therefore, from the perspective of earthquake-induced hazards, this paper focuses on analyzing the change rules of disaster resilience under the spatial and temporal aggregation effects of earthquake-induced hazards, and this analysis provides an important basis for understanding the developmental characteristics of earthquake-induced hazards and disaster prevention, and mitigation after earthquakes. This paper takes Wenchuan County as an example. By collecting the 2008–2018 landslide geological hazards data, the global autocorrelation coefficient and local autocorrelation coefficient are adopted to analyze the temporal trends and spatial patterns of earthquake-induced hazards. At the same time, from the socioeconomic perspective, two disaster resilience indexes, the compatibility coefficient of industrial and employment structure and per capita GDP growth rate, were constructed to analyze the disaster resilience under the spatial and temporal aggregation effect of landslide geological hazards. The results show that, on the temporal trend, the temporal aggregation effect of earthquake-induced hazards has periodically decayed with time; in the spatial distribution, the spatial clustering effect as a whole increases first and then decreases, and the scope of the aggregation effect tends to narrow spatially. Disaster resilience (H<inf>xy</inf> and R<inf>GDP</inf>) showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing, and could not recover to the level before the earthquake in 2017, indicating that Wenchuan County was greatly affected by earthquake-induced hazards in the post-earthquake reconstruction process. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: Since the late 1990s, rural residential land consolidation projects have propelled a wave of rural restructuring across China. Characterized by the creation of concentrated villages, land consolidation is seen as a means of both improving land-use efficiency and promoting rural development. But residential concentration is often funded through the commodification of rural land – a trend that became particularly clear in rural Chengdu after the Wenchuan earthquake. This article explores the implications of land-based rural reconstruction in Chengdu. Drawing on a comparison of three adjacent communities in peri-urban Chengdu, the article argues that the tactics adopted by local leaders in their efforts to generate funds through land consolidation can best be characterized as a process of leveraging rural land values. This leveraging entails not only a risk of failure, but also a diversion of public funds towards projects that enhance the attractiveness of land to urban investors, a removal of control over land from the hands of rural residents, and a deepening of inequalities across communities. © The Author(s) 2020.

ABSTRACT: This paper establishes one comprehensive index system and investigates the coupling coordination between tourism development and economic growth of Beichuan County following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, as well as examines the causal relationship. The results of the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) illustrate that the coordinating level of tourism development and economic growth increases in 2001–2017, with strong fluctuation in 2008. The causal results using unit root test, Cointegration test, and Grange causal test show that tourism can significantly promote economic growth in 2008–2017. The outcomes may be attributed to the disaster shock, macro-policy and government-led reconstruction mode. Lastly, the theoretical and practical implications for policymakers are provided. © 2020, © 2020 Asia Pacific Tourism Association.

ABSTRACT: Under the current resilience development framework, which is mainly based on urban communities, it is difficult to meet the needs of the vulnerable populations in poor villages. This article aims to explore a specific and operable guidance framework suitable for the resilient development of Chinese poor villages after disasters from the perspective of social equity. The framework will help guide the sustainable development of poor villages after disasters and also provide a reference for the resilience of other similar vulnerable areas. When integrating climate change response and disaster risk management to explore sustainable development in poor villages, the essence is to explore the resilience development framework focused on the construction of resilient communities in poor villages. We take the recovery and reconstruction of poor villages after the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 as an example. Through the analysis of the effects of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, we found that although poor communities have made significant achievements since the earthquake, there are still many aspects that need to be improved, including social life systems, economic production systems, and natural ecosystems. Therefore, we comprehensively analyzed the characteristics of poor socio-economic conditions, the complex ecological environment, and the low cultural level of residents in poor villages. Furthermore, this study followed the principle of "Build back better" (BBB) and conducted an in-depth study of the framework for the resilience of poor villages. In terms of risk reduction, it is recommended to improve structural resilience from guarantee of preferential prices and selection of environmentally friendly materials, avoid risk and villagers' participation in the formulation of general plans, and promote disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities from risk prediction and curriculum development. In terms of community recovery, it is suggested to promote community economics and victims' livelihoods by promoting industrial transformation and sustainable livelihoods and promote social and psychological health development from social relations and psychological rehabilitation. In terms of efficient implementation, specific improvements include the improvement of public participation systems and the establishment of coordination offices and sound institutional mechanisms, the development of community standards and the introduction of financial support policies, the improvement of laws and regulations, and the improvement of monitoring and evaluation from dynamic monitoring and mass satisfaction surveys. It is important to guide the sustainable development of vulnerable communities by constructing a post-disaster resistant development framework based on BBB principles. © 2020 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The Araniko and Pasang Lhamu highways are two critical trading routes connecting Nepal and China that are experiencing and are threatened by landsliding. The April 25 M<inf>w</inf> 7.8 Gorkha earthquake and its May 12 M<inf>w</inf> 7.3 aftershock in 2015 significantly increased landsliding along these highways. Multi-temporal remote sensing images (pre-seismic to December 2017) on Google Earth, aerial photography acquired in 2018 using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and field investigations and surveys in June 2015, November–December 2017, and April–May 2018 quantify the development of selected landslides after the earthquake along the two highways. These include detailed studies of 39 and 30 landslide locations in 2017 and 2018, respectively, with 14 locations common to both the 2017 and 2018 studies. Only the landslides in five locations showed a slight decrease in activity after the earthquake, and most landslides continued to move and enlarge. More than five new landslides were triggered by monsoon rainfalls in the summers of 2017 and 2018. All the landslides pose significant challenges for infrastructure reconstruction and hazard reduction in the area affected by the Gorkha earthquake, especially along the Araniko and Pasang Lhamu highways. Comparison of landslide debris volume, pre- and post- earthquake rainfalls, and earthquakes that occurred before and after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake with the 1999 Chi-Chi, 2005 Kashmir, and 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes show that continuing rainfall after earthquakes and strong aftershock shaking are key factors affecting continued landsliding in these earthquake-effected areas. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: Housing reconstruction is critical following natural disasters, especially in rural areas of developing countries. Concentrated rural settlement (CRS) is an important method adopted by local governments in China to promote post-disaster rural housing recovery. However, the effectiveness and selection of CRS approaches under different situations often puzzles local governments, even though various approaches to CRS development have been available since the Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12, 2008. This study therefore compares three approaches to developing CRS (unified planning/unified reconstruction, unified planning/joint reconstruction, and unified planning/self-reconstruction), based on three case studies in Lushan County of Ya'an City in Sichuan Province of China. The factors considered include the triggering event, participants, process, and outcome. Research information and data were collected using interviews, a questionnaire survey, and content analysis. The comparison reveals a transformation from a government-led pattern to a resident-led pattern in the rural housing reconstruction after the Lushan Earthquake. When comparing the effectiveness of these three approaches, each approach must be considered according to its prerequisites to ensure the sustainability of reconstruction. Based on the comparative analysis, the study also offers a map for future initiatives, providing valuable insights for local governments to develop sustainable CRS in post-disaster reconstruction. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) can provide services to disaster-impacted communities and residents in a more timely manner than the government can. The Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred on May 12, 2008, was the most severe natural disaster in China in recent years. NPOs participated in rescue and reconstruction efforts and were an important emergency response force, leading some to call 2008 “the first year of nonprofit organizations in China” (Yang, 2015). The most striking feature of NPOs’ participation in the Wenchuan earthquake relief efforts was that they set up different types of collaborations among themselves to better leverage limited resources and expand on the power of any single organization acting alone. This article differentiates between two types of nonprofit collaboration—contract-based and voluntary-based collaborations—and explores the factors that facilitated the formation of each type of collaboration following the Wenchuan earthquake. Based on three in-depth case studies of (1) Sichuan 5/12 Center for Voluntary Disaster Relief (CVDR), (2) the Sichuan Province NPOs Joint Office (SPNJO), and (3) the New Hometown Plan (NHP), we found that resource dependence, network effect, and volunteerism played different roles in the formation of the two types of collaboration. These findings lead to policy recommendations for improving nonprofit collaboration to respond to and recover from natural catastrophes. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Community engagement in disaster risk reduction activities assists women to discover and build their capacity for leadership before, during, and after disaster. In the study of the entire process after an extreme event, previous research has been scarce in the examination of women of different ages’ capacities of engagement, leadership, and resilience. Developed during 10 years of ongoing research after the Wenchuan earthquake, this paper employs qualitative research methodology that scrutinizes women's leadership at different stages of their lifespans during all the post-disaster stages (emergency rescue, short-term reconstruction, and long-term recovery and mitigation) that took place after the Wenchuan earthquake, in the rural areas of Sichuan Province, China. This paper discovers that (1) during the emergency rescue stage, women became rescuers augmenting and supporting the urgent response; (2) during the short-term reconstruction stage, women served as decision makers guiding the reconstruction of housing and communities; and (3) during the long-term recovery and mitigation stage, many women took on the role of breadwinner, managing the family livelihood and long-term development. From the perspective of built environment, this paper argues that women's leadership in managing existing and obtaining new resources (internal and external), in parallel effort alongside the official missions, not only strengthened the men's dominant aftermath efforts, but also promoted gender equity engagement in post-disaster reconstruction and recovery as well as powerfully advanced resilience capacity at individual, family, and community levels. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: <p>Recovering from major earthquakes is a challenge, especially in mountainous environments where postearthquake hazards may cause substantial impacts for prolonged periods of time. Although such impacts were reported in the 1923 Great KantÅ earthquake and the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, careless reconstruction in hazard-prone areas and consequently huge losses were witnessed following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in the Sichuan province of China, as several reconstructed settlements were severely damaged by mass movements and floods. In order to summarize experiences and identify problems in the reconstruction planning, a monitoring of one of the settlements, the town of Longchi, was carried out by image interpretation and field investigation. Seven inventories containing buildings, farmlands, roads and mitigation measures were made to study the dynamics of elements at risk and exposure over a period of 11 years. It was found that the total economic value of the newly reconstructed buildings was several times more than in the preearthquake situation in 2007, because of enormous governmental investment. Postseismic hazards were not sufficiently taken into consideration in the recovery planning before the catastrophic debris flow disaster in 2010. As a result, the direct economic loss from postseismic disasters was slightly more than the loss caused by the Wenchuan earthquake itself. The society showed an impact-Adapt pattern, experiencing losses from disasters and then gaining resistance by abandoning buildings in hazard-prone areas and installing mitigation measures. The locations potentially exposed to postearthquake hazards were summarized, and a possible timetable for reconstruction was proposed. Problems might be encountered in hazard assessment, and possible solutions were discussed.</p>. © 2020 Copernicus GmbH. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: To reduce the damage caused by earthquakes, the paper develops a decision-making method under uncertainty, which validly addresses the site selection for earthquake shelters. Since site selection after earthquakes is an emergency decision-making process, during which there always exists inaccuracy and complexity, it is more rational to adopt fuzzy theory to handle this problem. Therefore, we introduce a hesitant multiplicative linguistic preference relation (HMLPR) and propose its consistency measure based on the eigenvector method. An adjustment method is provided to repair the unacceptably consistent HMLPR into acceptably consistent one, and the parameter of the adjustment method is also discussed. To manifest the validity and availability of the proposed method, we choose the Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12th 2008 as the background event. Upon establishing the indicators including scale and location, risk of disaster, rescue facilities, feasibility and resident aspect, three experts from Institute for Disaster Management and Reconstruction of Sichuan University are invited to address the site selection for temporary shelters. The obtained result is approved by the experts as the optimal choice in the case of this paper. Finally, we complete the comparative analysis. The processing efficiency of the proposed method keeps stable and fast when the number of experts and the number of criteria increase from 3 to 10 respectively, which demonstrates that the proposed method is more robust and efficient than the existing method. © 2019

ABSTRACT: Wide-grading loose soils (WGLS) are a special slope deposit that often serve as a source for debris flows in the western mountainous area of China. Previous research indicated that rainfall infiltration induced the migration of fine particles within soil slopes and lead to the initiation of shallow failure and subsequent debris flows. Clearly, soil pore structure exerts a profound influence on seepage during rainfall infiltration, which is closely related to soil permeability and corresponding internal erosion. The current understanding of the mechanisms of fine particle migration is limited because of the complexity of WGLS micropore structure. The challenge lies in how to systematically characterize WGLS pore structure so that it provides a foundation for future numerical simulations of fine particle migration-induced debris flows. In this study, the characteristics of WGLS pore structure were analyzed quantitatively using scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that WGLS predominantly contained micropores and mesopores. The pore size distribution exhibited a bimodal nature with one peak occurring at a pore diameter of 12 μm and another at 72 μm. The pore complexity of all samples exceeded 0.75, which indicates a low aspect ratio for each pore. The average diameter of the fine particles that migrated was then determined with a laboratory seepage test. A preliminary jamming probability analysis based on three-dimensional micropore reconstruction and average fine particle diameter indicate that jamming is most prevalent along the slope. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: This paper mainly focuses on the development of disaster social work in Mainland China and the intervention of social work in disaster relief. Before the Wenchuan earthquake and in the initial stage of post-earthquake, disaster social work was mainly based on individual psychotherapy; from the earthquake to the year of 2012 in which post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction was completed, the disaster relief began to emphasise community building and integration, while the basic framework for disaster social work was also established. Social workers begin to explore the new mode of developmental and localised disaster social work. By combining with the practical experiences from disaster social work, this paper tries to highlight the dilemmas confronting disaster relief in Mainland China and put forward some corresponding countermeasures and suggestions, which could improve the future disaster relief system in Mainland China. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: The tremendous socio-economic impact from natural disasters in recent years, e.g. the Wenchuan Earthquake (2008) and Super Typhoon Lekima (2019), attracts broad attention from government agencies, researchers, and practitioners on how to reconstruct communities, specifically their damaged building portfolios (consist more than 90% of the infrastructure system) after a disaster to achieve higher performance level in future hazards in a rational way. The rebuilding philosophy of Building Back Better emphasis that a community should achieve a higher performance level in future hazard events by implementing a well-designed reconstruction strategy. This study introduces how to realize Building Back Better by a rebuilding decision framework under the umbrella of portfolio level life-cycle analysis and community resilience. It firstly extends the concept of life-cycle analysis from a single building to the building portfolio, and quantifies the impact of certain reconstruction decision over the entire life-cycle of the building portfolio in terms of expected building portfolio life-cycle cost and expected building portfolio cumulative prospect value. Notably, in the latter methodology, the non-linear probability perception of typically risk-aversion decision-makers can be addressed that the contribution of low-probability/high-consequence events is amplified. Further, it incorporates the resilience goal in portfolio level to ensure limited functionality loss and quick recovery from extreme events in the future. The proposed post-hazard portfolio level life-cycle analysis and reconstruction decision framework can be directly applied to the reconstruction practice that could support Building Back Better, and help communities finally achieve pre-defined resilience goals in the most efficient way. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred on May 12, 2008, caused a large number of casualties and substantial property losses. Postearthquake reconstruction is a complex and systematic project, the core of which is to enable the residents of the earthquake-stricken areas to resume normal productivity and life as soon as possible. This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of postearthquake reconstruction in extremely earthquake-stricken areas. From the perspective of the inputs and outputs, the DEA-Malmquist index was used to construct a reconstruction efficiency evaluation model for the extremely stricken areas. Reconstruction efficiencies are analyzed for 10 areas that were severely impacted by the Wenchuan earthquake. Finally, three major disaster-pregnancy environmental factors, namely, including topography, fault zones, and river systems, are selected. Based on the temporal trend of reconstruction efficiency, the degree of correlation between the postearthquake reconstruction efficiency fluctuation and the three major disaster-pregnancy environmental factors is analyzed. The study results show that the overall reconstruction efficiency of the 10 extremely earthquake-stricken areas was relatively high. In 2011, the reconstruction efficiency basically returned the areas to preearthquake levels, and there was a small fluctuation in efficiency due to the effects of earthquake-induced hazards and the reduction of external forces. Spatially, the reconstruction efficiencies of the 10 extremely stricken areas do not show a "convergence effect,"and the reconstruction efficiencies were closely related to the characteristics of the resources in the extremely stricken areas. In terms of the main disaster-pregnancy environment, the terrain complexity is most closely related to fluctuation of reconstruction efficiency, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9975, followed by river network density and the lowest fault density. Therefore, to improve the reconstruction efficiency of the extremely earthquake-stricken areas, the adjustment measures that promote local advantages should be fully utilized to mitigate the lasting effects of earthquake-induced hazards. © 2020 Pin Lv et al.

ABSTRACT: The upper reaches of Min River (The upper Min River) is located in Southwest China with significant mountain settlements, which are vulnerable to frequent geological hazards. Based on a field investigation, collation of yearbook data, and analysis through the use of SPSS statistical software, a vulnerability evaluation index system of geological hazards was devised. According to the actual field situation and the acquired data of the study area in 2006, 2009, and 2015, 16 indicators were selected as settlement vulnerability evaluation indexes of geological hazards. The indexes included population density, building coverage, and economic density. Based on the comprehensive evaluation model of entropy value, the dynamic change in the settlement vulnerability of geological hazards was analyzed. The results showed that population density, building coverage, economic density, and road density were the factors that affected the settlement vulnerability of geological hazards the most - Wenchuan earthquake caused considerable damage to the upper Min River, making the area the most vulnerable in 2009. However, its vulnerability decreased in 2015, which indicated that postearthquake reconstruction achieved significant results. Thus, the vulnerability has emerged as an important indicator reflecting the safety and healthy development of mountain settlements. © 2020 Mingtao Ding et al.

ABSTRACT: This article discusses if and how intangible cultural heritage (ICH) safeguarding is an effective means to recover local cultures after a major disaster by considering an example from China, a forceful newcomer in the recent global ICH safeguarding campaign. After the severe Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the Chinese state initiated “cultural reconstruction” projects to rescue, restore, and recover the affected ethnic-minority Qiang cultures, for which the inscription, safeguarding, and promotion of Qiang ICH became major means. This article analyzes how state agencies and selected groups of scholars led and monitored the Qiang ICH safeguarding process and also how the knowledge of the newly heritagized cultural practices was produced. Informed by long-term fieldwork in the affected Qiang villages, the article critiques the complex impacts of the emergent, top-down, and yet problem-atic ICH safeguarding planning on the survival and sustainability of the noted cultural practices as well as the Qiang communities. © Nanzan University Anthropological Institute.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Post-disaster population resettlement is a complicated process, during which the restoration of livelihood and lifestyle plays a critical role in achieving a successful resettlement outcome. This paper attempts to examine how recovery policies and relocation approaches influence people's livelihood recovery and perception of wellbeing. It specifically investigates the role of farmland in producing a livelihood and maintaining a rural lifestyle among displaced people. Design/methodology/approach: Through face-to-face questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews with rural residents displaced from their villages after the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China, this study presents both quantitative and qualitative evidence to investigate how post-disaster policies and particularly the availability of farmland influence people's recovery and their satisfaction with the post-resettlement life. Findings: Data suggest that availability of farmland, in spite of the size, makes big differences in post-disaster recovery because farmland provides resettled people with not only a livelihood to secure basic living but also a guarantee to maintain a rural lifestyle. Research limitations/implications: More samples are needed for analyzing factors that significantly influence disaster-displaced farmers' recovery and wellbeing post resettlement. Practical implications: This study can be used as an important reference for making plans for post-disaster recovery and population resettlement programs in other disaster-prone countries across the world. Originality/value: Land-based relocation is proposed as a desirable approach to addressing challenges of livelihood restoration amongst the resettled population in rural areas of developing countries. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: This paper is a systematic study on the reconstruction planning and policy implementation of the Wenchuan earthquake. It mainly summarizes the whole process of reconstruction from the perspective of post-disaster housing reconstruction. From both macro and micro scales, it carries out an in-depth analysis of the emergency response and reconstruction mechanisms adopted by the central and local governments after the earthquake occurred. The content mainly includes housing disaster assessment, housing reconstruction process management, and housing reconstruction particular policies, which are the key factors affecting post-disaster reconstruction benefits. To better explain the great success of the Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction policy for housing reconstruction, this paper conducts a detailed investigation of the reconstruction planning, policies, implementation and results of the housing reconstruction in Dujiangyan central city. The study found that the diversification of the Dujiangyan housing reconstruction development model has mostly met the different needs of the victims. The participation of multiple entities such as the market and social institutions has accelerated the economic recovery of post-disaster reconstruction and promoted the early completion of housing work; The unique system introduced during the reconstruction process not only protected the interests of the victims, but also effectively solved the complex property rights problem in rural areas, achieved the goal of saving land and integrating resources, and replaced a large number of land resources for the government. © 2019 The Authors

ABSTRACT: After the massive Wenchuan earthquake, 15.1 million victims were forced to temporarily relocate and the post-disaster reconstruction was urgent and necessary. Subsequently, the Chinese government vigorously promoted a swift reconstruction, which drew worldwide attention from academia and politics. In response, this paper specifically focused on the critical Chinese government behaviors regarding its swift implementation of a housing reconstruction programme. The Dujiangyan case was employed. A field investigation was conducted, and the data from the source in this research, the newspaper “Dujiangyan Express” were collected. Content analysis was adopted to extract news related to housing reconstruction and “R” software was used for the keyword frequency statistics. Accordingly, the frequencies were obtained, and keywords with similar meanings were classified into one keyword cluster. Further, the keyword clusters’ frequencies were analyzed, and the corresponding time points considered. Finally, 14 critical Chinese government behaviors in 4 dimensions were identified: “post-disaster resettlement”, “housing reconstruction”, “disposal for the earthquake-impacted housing”, and “government field investigation”. The main findings supply a theoretical summary for the Chinese government behaviors in its swift implementation of a housing reconstruction programme and could be useful references for further behaviors that promote successful post-disaster reconstruction. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Following the massive and devastating 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, the Chinese state called for major reconstruction to be completed within three years. Reconstruction was subsequently folded into longer-term development goals, an approach often considered ‘building back better.’ However, few studies have examined long-term trajectories of household recovery following the earthquake and reconstruction-as-development. We conducted a case study of long-term trajectories in a mountain village in Pengzhou City, Chengdu Municipality, which was severely impacted by the earthquake. Based on in-depth qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews conducted with 59 villagers and local leaders between September 2018 and May 2019, we analyze a variety of distinct post-earthquake trajectories, including different patterns of recovery and experiences of development for villagers in a concentrated settlement and those who chose owner-driven reconstruction on their pre-earthquake house lots. We find that concentrated settlement created significant barriers to income generation and problems of inadequate housing to accommodate demographic growth and family reproduction. For those who chose in-situ reconstruction, differentiation happened over a span of a decade, as a result of changing development visions and construction regulations, as well as secondary earthquake hazards. These processes have both exacerbated existing inequalities in a small, relatively homogenous village, and created new ones. Some households experience the post-earthquake period as an acceleration of development, whereas others experience a sense of moving backwards in time to a less-developed status. Our study demonstrates that earthquake recovery cannot be considered a single, discrete event, but must instead be understood through long-term trajectories that intersect with both political processes and place-based events. Moreover, we show how qualitative, in-depth studies can shed light on processes otherwise obscured when earthquake recovery and development are conceptualized as apolitical, technical problems. © 2019

ABSTRACT: It is of great significance to enhance disaster prevention and response capacity to reveal the post- disaster economic development and recovery process, and to formulate the control policies and recovery methods for post- disaster economic reconstruction according to the economic resilience. Based on the long-term socio-economic data and ARIMA model, this paper calculated the economic resilience index of severely affected area of Wenchuan earthquake, and adopted the improved Variable Return to Scale (VRS) DEA model and Malmquist productivity index to analyze the efficiency and effect of annual post- disaster recovery. The results show that: (1) The economic resilience index of earthquake severely affected area is 0.877. The earthquake caused a short-term economic recession in the affected areas, but the economy returned to its pre- quake state within two years. In addition, the industrial economy is less resilient than agriculture and service industries. (2) The comprehensive economic recovery efficiency of the disaster-stricken area in the year after the disaster is 0.603. The comprehensive efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of the plain hilly area are significantly higher than those of the plateau mountain area. (3) The annual fluctuation of total factor productivity after the disaster was strong, and the economic recovery efficiency declined significantly, resulting in a short- term economic recession. The TFP index returned to steady state after a decline of 33.7% and 15.2% in the two years after the disaster. (4) The significant decline in the post-disaster recovery efficiency is mainly caused by technological changes, and the renewal of production system is the leading factor in determining the economic resilience after the disaster. With the decline in the scale of economic recovery, the long-term economic recovery in the study areas mainly depends on pure technical efficiency, and the improvement of pure technical efficiency is the driving force to maintain the long-term growth of post-disaster economy. Therefore, in view of the differences between the reconstruction of natural conditions and the stage of economic development, the disasterstricken areas need to change and readjust their economic structures actively. Meanwhile, we should pay attention to updating production system to enhance the level of technological progress, and give full play to the scale effect of large-scale capital, facilities, manpower and other factors investment, so as to enhance the response to the disaster impact of economic resilience and recovery efficiency. © 2019, Science Press.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to examine the longitudinal health consequences of the Wenchuan earthquake. Based on descriptive analyses of national-level data and multivariate analyses on a six-wave repeated cross-sectional survey, the findings suggested that after 8 years health risks remained high among earthquake-affected survivors; however, a process of recovery existed. To conceptualize these findings, in this study, we proposed a three-stage recovery model in which the postdisaster health status was divided into three stages: acute, stagnant, and adaptive. At each stage, the health risk varied, and over time, associations between health outcomes and protective factors varied. The three-stage recovery model identified the trends of long-term health consequences among adult earthquake survivors and provided guidance for postdisaster reconstruction in China on the basis of protective factors analyses. © Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

ABSTRACT: In 2008, Wenchuan earthquake shook Sichuan Province in China. The questions of how to value the economic loss that would result if a catastrophe were to occur in Capital Beijing and how long the recovery period would last have long been topics of concern for the government and the public. This study envisions an earthquake similar to the Wenchuan earthquake occurring in Beijing and examines the differences in indirect economic loss and recovery periods between Beijing and the Wenchuan earthquake using the same loss rate. An improved input–output model is used to evaluate the indirect losses. The results show that (1) Beijing experiences greater indirect loss than Sichuan. When both regions suffer a direct loss of USD 100, Beijing suffers USD 12 more in indirect loss than does Sichuan. (2) The reconstruction period of Beijing is shortened by at least 5 months, and indirect loss is reduced by 27.1% if the assistance level increases from 120 to 150% of that provided to Sichuan. (3) High assistance efficiencies can effectively reduce total losses, but increasing the efficiency of strength is more efficient than improving the efficiency of time in Beijing. Five sectors in Beijing are firstly needed to be assisted to recover, which can help other sectors to recover more quickly and efficiently through industrial linkages. Dynamic assessment of indirect loss in this study may help the government better understand the quantitative impact of disasters and allocate assistance resources more efficiently in Beijing. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.

ABSTRACT: Background: The heartache from the devastating 8.0 magnitude Wenchuan earthquake, which killed nearly 90,000 people in western China, is still felt despite the large-scale recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas. This study investigated the relationships of earthquake-trauma exposures and personality with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to identify the long-term consequences of the Wenchuan earthquake on the survivors and the risk factors related to chronic PTSD. We hope the findings can contribute to developing new health care prevention and interventions for the survivors. Methods: We collected a sample of 490 people over 3 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, using questionnaires about demographic information and the traumatic experience in earthquake, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaires (EPQ), to find the consequences of the Wenchuan earthquake on the survivors and the potential factors related to the long-term morbidity of PTSD. Result: Traumatic experiences, such as witnessing someone being seriously injured, having your house seriously damaged, and having close relatives severely injured, were associated with developing PTSD. Personality measured by EPQ was also closely related to PTSD. Regression analyses indicated that a potential linear model characterized the relationship between PTSD, neuroticism and psychoticism, yet extraversion/introversion were not significant factors. In the multivariate logistic regression, neuroticism (a continuous variable measured by EPQ) was of more significance in predicting the morbidity of long-term PTSD, compared with other variables [odds ratio (OR) = 1.113, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.081-1.146, Wald Value = 50.467, P < 0.001]. The final path diagram built a model indicated the moderating role of personality in the relationship between traumatic experiences and PTSD (CMIN/DF = 2.324, P < 0.001; CFI = 0.879 < 0.8; RMSEA = 0.05 < 0.08). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the role of personality traits and subjective exposure experiences regarding the vulnerability associated with PTSD after earthquake. Among all personality traits, neuroticism is considered a vulnerability factor of PTSD, and other personality traits also moderate the effects of traumatic experiences associated with PTSD. These findings might be useful for psychologists to develop intervention strategies for people suffered natural disasters, and to help individuals with PTSD to heal fully. © Copyright © 2019 Yin, Wu, Yu and Liu.

ABSTRACT: Despite the emphasis on sustainability in post-disaster recovery plans (PDRPs), few studies have been conducted to investigate the information conveyed in disaster recovery plans in terms of sustainability. We aimed to investigate, in terms of sustainability, how post-disaster recovery plans can be improved from historical learning by examining local recovery plans that were developed and adopted after the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes, which are two representative post-disaster recovery cases in China. An evaluation protocol for sustainability issues was developed to analyze the recovery plans of the most severely affected counties and towns inWenchuan (16 samples) and Lushan (7 samples). A comparative analysis was conducted to identify the similarities, differences, and evolution of sustainability considerations in these PDRPs. Semi-structured interviews with key informants were conducted to supplement the evaluation with qualitative data. The results show that the components and concepts of sustainability in PDRPs are conveyed and developed mostly by following the organization's existing patterns and regulations. In contrast, some components are retained across plans, thereby suggesting a substantial general structure of recovery plans. The underlying logic of this experience transfer across plans was discussed. The findings can help local governments and planners to effectively incorporate sustainability into PDRPs. © 2019 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: A large number of landslides and rock falls were produced in the meizoseismal area by the"5•12" Wenchuan earthquake. If an extreme rainfall occurred, lots of materials could be transformed into debris flow, with larger size and higher damage degree than expected. On 13th October 2010, debris flow occurred in Bayi gully in Dujiangyan County under rainstorm condition, destroying dam, burying road, houses and farms, and seriously affecting the daily life of local people. In order to reduce these damage, Bayi gully was selected as the research object. Combined debris flow intensity under the different rainfall frequency and period of the outbreak, this paper aims to obtain Bayi gully hazard assessment by the FLO-2D numerical simulation. First, the Bayi gully numerical simulation accuracy can reach 77% according to field test. Then, according to the different frequency of rainfall (5 years, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, 200 years) and the debris flow velocity and deposit depth, the hazard assessment model is established. Finally, the hazard map of Bayi gully is obtained. The results show that the high hazard area accounted for 62% in the Bayi gully, the medium hazard area accounted for 28%, and the low hazard area accounted for 10%. The hazard assessment of Bayi gully can provide a reliable basis for the post-disaster reconstruction and the key area prevention. © 2019, Editorial Department of Earth Science. All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: Occurred on May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake in China has received worldwide attention for its incredible destructive power. In June of the same year, the State Council issued a draft regulation on post-quake restoration and reconstruction. To find the effect of post-earthquake reconstruction, this paper measures the residents' life satisfaction in Wenchuan by multiple criteria decision-making methods under probabilistic linguistic environment. Based on field surveys and domains of life satisfaction, an indicator system is proposed as a framework to collect resident's evaluations. To retain as much original information as possible, an effective weighting method with probabilistic linguistic information is developed to deduce the indicator's importance. It extends the logarithm-multiplicative analytic hierarchy process to handle the probabilistic linguistic evaluations and derive the criteria weights in interval forms. In this way, the inherent uncertainty of the evaluations on the importance of life satisfaction indicators can be reflected. Furthermore, a novel outranking method named the probabilistic linguistic gain and lost dominance score method, is used to obtain the overall life satisfaction degrees of the residents in Wenchuan. We apply this method to measure the life satisfaction degrees of residents in two areas. The calculation results show that the life satisfaction degrees of the residents in the earthquake-hit area are higher than those of the residents in the non-earthquake area. © 2019

ABSTRACT: The earthquake disaster not only caused great damage to the original ecological environment system, but also even formed a new ecological system. Remote sensing technology has played an important role in post-earthquake emergency and disaster assessment with its rapid, high revisit cycle and macro-micro comprehensive observation. The effective use of multi-period remote sensing data combined with the theory of eco-environmental impact assessment can build an effective model to evaluate the dynamic changes of ecological environment. In this paper, taking Wenchuan County in Wenchuan Earthquake as a case study, we proposed a comprehensive evaluation index method and the eco-environmental quality evaluation of Wenchuan County after 10-year earthquake were constructed and the changes of eco-environmental quality were analyzed. The result of the analysis showed that ten years after the earthquake (2018), the eco-environmental quality of poor regions in the county had also exhibited an obvious improvement. The eco-environmental quality in some regions in the county had fully recovered. The results are of great significance to scientific disaster relief and reasonable restoration and reconstruction. © 2019 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: There is a high risk of an economic downturn after the end of reconstruction efforts following natural hazards. High levels of external assistance can sometimes weaken local autonomy and self-sufficiency, creating the pre-conditions for a "forgotten phase". However, through the three-year Paired Assistance to Disaster-Affected Areas project (PADAA), the economy of Wenchuan County in China recovered to its pre-earthquake levels within two years and has shown clear signs of economic sustainability. Through a qualitative research approach based on the analysis of expert interviews, secondary data, and relevant documentation, this study discusses the phases of the reconstruction process following theWenchuan earthquake, and the factors behind the success of the PADAA process in enabling economic sustainability. Some of the identified factors include: (1) the reshaping of local livelihoods and economic structure through a large number of investments in public infrastructure; (2) knowledge acquisition, self-adjustment, and the ability to meet the needs of a new economy and social development through institutional reform and openness; (3) increasing amounts of attracted investments and the development of sustainable industrial structures through the improvement of the local government's economic governance. © 2019 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Mental health interventions following disasters have been criticized as individualistic, incomplete, and culturally insensitive. This article showcases the effects of a culturally relevant and sustainable psychosocial capacity-building project at the epicenter of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. Specifically, the project focuses on women, a group that has received limited attention in post-disaster recovery in China. This qualitative research study (N = 14) sheds light on the characteristics and processes of the implementation of a post-disaster psychosocial intervention project in rural China. In addition, by adopting the Success Case Method as an evaluation approach, this study elucidates its effects on the psychological and social changes of the disaster victims. The findings capture five aspects of psychosocial changes: enriched daily life, better mood, enhanced self-confidence, increased willingness to socialize, and the provision of mutual help. This study hopes to encourage more culturally relevant and empowering practices for women in building their psychosocial capacity after disasters. © 2019, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: This exploratory study investigates contested narratives of dark tourists by focusing on their travel motivations and multi-dimensional visitor experiences in the context of the Hanwang Earthquake Memorial Park, the intersections of a ghost industrial town and seismic memorials arising from the great Wenchuan earthquake of 2008. The study employed participant observation and semi-structured interview in a progressive and sequential manner to collect qualitative data from Chinese visitors on the site. Using NVivo 10, the analysis revealed that it was both the death and suffering of people and destruction and reconstruction of place—the abandoned industrial town and the seismic memorials—that attract visitors to come, distinguishing itself from other dark tourism settings that may be valued for leisure activity or special historical interest. The obligation of commemoration was mixed with curiosity, together with social needs, perceived prestigious, family, and education that motivate people to visit. The site offered visitors an authentic arena for critical thoughts, the recall of tragedy, and self-reflection; help reconcile the imagined landscapes with reality; and allowed the self to express scares and sympathy as well as gratification and satisfaction so as to construct contemporary ontological meanings of mortality as reflected in either cognitive or affective experience. © 2018, The European Association for Conservation of the Geological Heritage.

ABSTRACT: How widespread is unemployment among land-losing farmers in China and what explains regional variations in unemployment? Using census data, this article shows that there were only roughly 1.7 million unemployed land-losing farmers in 2010. Case studies and quantitative analysis demonstrate that unemployment is concentrated in areas that have undergone large-scale land takings, often in the form of ‘new cities’ or ‘university cities.’ Less-educated farmers have been unable to compete in urban labor markets and have become unemployed, especially in poorer regions. The postfinancial crisis fiscal stimulus exacerbated these trends, making cities that received funding for rebuilding after the Wenchuan earthquake home to high numbers of unemployed land-losing farmers. © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: Various studies report on temporal changes of seismic velocities in the crust and attempt to relate the observations to changes of stress and material properties around faults. Although there are growing numbers of observations on coseismic velocity reductions, generally there is a lack of detailed observations of the healing phases. Here we report on a pronounced coseismic reduction of velocities around two locked sections (asperities) of the Longmenshan fault with a large slip during the 2008 M<inf>w</inf> 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake and subsequent healing of the velocities. The healing phase accelerated significantly at the southern asperity right after the nearby 2013 M<inf>w</inf> 6.6 Lushan earthquake. The results were obtained by joint inversions of travel time data at four different periods across the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes. The rapid acceleration of healing in response to the Lushan earthquake provides unique evidence for the high sensitivity of seismic velocities to stress changes. We suggest that stress redistribution plays an important role in rebuilding fault strength. © 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited.

ABSTRACT: Building Effective Crisis Communications for Disaster Recovery: A Case of Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation in Sichuan, China reviews and evaluates public relations (PR) campaigns launched by the Chinese government to facilitate long-term disaster recovery after the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. The Discourse of Renewal (DR) theory is employed to guide the study and explore how the Chinese government utilized communication to help communities recover from disaster and promote community growth. Steered by the co-creational perspective, this book also examines the influence of PR campaigns on the public's situation awareness, attitude agreement, perceived care and concern, and ultimately the public's relationship with the Chinese government in renewal. In addition to developing and testing a DR evaluation model, this study investigates the communication obstacles that constrain the effectiveness of DR. In-depth interviews, content analysis, and surveys are conducted to analyze the themes, characteristics, effectiveness, and barriers of the campaigns. The findings of Building Effective Crisis Communications for Disaster Recovery include that (1) DR theory, which has heretofore been developed and applied mainly in Western culture, can inform the study of crisis communication in an Eastern culture, especially in China, (2) DR employed in government campaigns can be very powerful in achieving PR goals in crisis renewal, and (3) imbalanced deployment of campaign resources can affect the outcome of DR. This book also discusses the implications of utilizing these findings to better plan and implement long-term DR campaigns. © 2019 Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., New York. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: [Objective] Under the background of ecological restoration and reconstruction of earthquake-affected areas in southwestern China, exploring the characteristics of vegetation coverage, plant community species diversity, biomass change and six major mineral element contents, and plant carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) stoichiometry will help to fully understand the dynamic process of vegetation restoration in the earthquake-affected areas. [Method] The destroyed and treated plots and the undestroyed plots (control group) of Wenzhou Town (arid-valley climate region) in Wenchuan County and Hanwang Town (subtropical monsoon climate region) in the Mianzhu City of typical area of the severely affected Wenchuan earthquake were studied. The vegetation restoration and the main elements and their stoichiometric characteristics of different organs of the plant in the destroyed and treated area (DTA) and the undestroyed area (UA) were analyzed. [Result] (1) The vegetation restoration rate in the subtropical monsoon climate region (65.74%) was higher than that in the arid-valley climate region (50.68%), and the coefficient of variation of DTA in the arid-valley climate region and subtropical monsoon climate region was 40.44% and 23.06%, respectively, which was higher than UA by 14.49% and 8.62%. (2) Only stem biomass of plant organs showed significant difference between DTA and UA in two climate regions (P<0.05). Only leaf carbon content in plant organs showed that DTA was significantly larger than UA in the arid-valley climate region (P<0.05); (3)The element content in different plant organs was mainly N>K>Ca>Mg>P>Na; (4)Through the leaf nitrogen-phosphorus ratio (N:P), it was found that the DTA and UA in arid-valley climate region were mainly restricted by phosphorus (P), while the DTA and the UA in subtropical monsoon climate region were mainly restricted by nitrogen (N). [Conclusion] The above research shows that climate may be the dominant factor affecting vegetation restoration, and limited nutrient factors affecting vegetation and soil restoration should be fully considered. The research results can provide a scientific basis for the restoration and reconstruction of ecological functions in the earthquake-affected areas in southwestern China. © 2019, Editorial Department of Journal of Beijing Forestry University.

ABSTRACT: Studies on peasant resistance in China have been typically associated with antagonistic actions against the state. This article examines a new form of peasant resistance nested in interactions between peasants and a non-governmental organization (NGO). Through the lens of a post-earthquake reconstruction programme in which peasants cannot be simply regarded as subordinates or a powerless group, it offers an alternative view on theories of ‘rightful resistance’ and ‘everyday forms of resistance’. With rural relations become more complex, the authors argue that contextually sensitive analyses which include multilateral interactions are needed for more indepth understanding of diverse peasant resistance in contemporary China. © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: Natural disasters can have significant impacts on the workforce in affected regions. There are often widespread disruptions to labour supply due to displacement of people from their jobs, either by disrupting their place of work or by disrupting a worker’s ability to attend work. This research aims to investigate the patterns of impact that disasters have on the workforce and the employment and livelihood issues that emerge during post-disaster recovery. By using comparative case study approach, this research compares recent disaster events, including the June 2013 Southern Alberta floods in Canada, the 2010 and 2011 Queensland floods in Australia, the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand, the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. It was found that common disaster effects on displaced workers included job and worker displacement, loss of income, disruptions to workers’ livelihoods and creation of additional participation barriers, particularly for females, youth and individuals with lower skill sets. Comparison of different disaster events also revealed insights into how disasters can change the local labour market structure post-disaster. General economic conditions, sectoral structure as well as business and individual coping mechanisms all influence livelihood outcomes for the affected workers. As the post-disaster recovery progresses in Queensland (Australia), Canterbury (New Zealand) and Tohoku (Japan), coordination of employment and livelihood initiatives with housing and other welfare policies is critical for ensuring that job opportunities are available to everyone, especially those with disadvantage. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2019.

ABSTRACT: Development NGOs and social work agencies are the major non-governmental forces that actively participate in post-disaster community reconstruction, and they generally emphasize theories and strategies of participatory development and empowerment. However, in practice, this type of strategy has met with many challenges. This article analyses the course of reconstruction in B community, as observed over three consecutive years by the authors. We point out that the community is engaged in pluralistic social processes: rapid post-disaster reconstruction, rural-urban unification, and social governance reform. Having so many forces involved in all aspects of this process means that explanation falls beyond the remit of traditional community participation theory. By analyzing three drivers of post-disaster reconstruction – the local government, community residents, and development NGOs – this article shows that transitional social development requires cooperative governance relations between the backbone of community, civil society organizations, state power, and market forces. This can promote pluralistic social power structures and generate real community empowerment. At the same time, it is important that this form of empowerment should not heighten divisions between officialdom and citizens, and should not result in the reliance of residents on the local government, which would thus take on the shape of a new internal colonization, but rather should promote cooperation between people and the authorities, develop innovative ways of dealing with social issues, and put actual pluralistic governance into practice. © KONINKLIJKE BRILL NV, LEIDEN, 2019.

ABSTRACT: Two of China’s deadliest earthquakes - the Wenchuan earthquake (2008) and the Lushan earthquake (2013) - occurred after the launching of the Open-Door Policy in 1980, during China’s economic boom. The contingencies of this period of economic prosperity drove the post-Wenchuan reconstruction efforts to focus primarily on infrastructure, neglecting important long-term concerns with regard to residents affected by the earthquake. Learning from the Wenchuan case, the post-Lushan earthquake initiatives endeavored to balance the different dimensions existing within building resilience and supporting sustainable by utilizing more human-centered, participatory approaches. These approaches aimed to harmonize the social, economic, and ecological concerns that revolved around the reconstruction of the built environment in order to reach attainable long-term sustainability goals. This human-centered, participatory approach fostered better communication among the major facilitators at different levels of Lushan’s reconstruction and recovery (mainly government officials, architects, urban planners, and urban designers) and, in turn, their communication with the stakeholders (primarily local residents). Drawing from the experience of the Lushan case, this research evaluates the role of designer-user communication in community-based built environment planning and design strategies by exploring outcomes of sustainability, equity, and livelihoods in small rural communities. It utilizes focus groups and interviews, conducted with both the facilitators and stakeholders. The newly created designer-user partnership that developed during the Lushan case helped designers to better understand the survivors’ urgent necessities and their communities’ long-term challenges. The partnership advanced the quality of the reconstruction projects by addressing these important concerns and building the residents’ capacity to manage community-based resources. It accelerated the disaster survivors’ long-term livelihoods and rehabilitation as well as enhanced the resilience capacities at individual, family, and community levels by incorporating sustainable development features. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, Bandana Kar and David M.

ABSTRACT: Poorly sorted loose granular materials deposited by the coseismic landslides in the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake provided abundant source material for debris flows to occur during saturation and agitation by rainfall as well as surface and groundwater flow. Debris flows in southwest China are concentrated in the annual monsoon season when substantial precipitation occurs and have resulted in catastrophic damage to downstream regions. With debris-flow susceptibility increasing in regions affected by mega-earthquakes, mitigation systems are considered as critical infrastructures, the performance and resilience of which are vital to the local communities. In this paper, we present 1) the analysis on rainfall intensity-duration (I-D) thresholds, Rainfall Index (RI), Rainfall Triggering Index (RTI) and characteristics of the debris flows that occurred in the gullies located in three watersheds affected by the Wenchuan Earthquake, and 2) the evaluation of the performance of both conventional and some novel mitigation systems deployed in these gullies. Sharp decreases in the associated rainfall thresholds were found in the gullies after the earthquake; however, the level of increase in the rainfall thresholds is highly site- and system-dependent. Most of the existing debris-flow mitigation systems exhibited fair performance yet insufficient resilience to the impact. Notwithstanding the large amount of source materials available to be mobilized in debris flows and the intense surface run-off, many conventional mitigation structures required constant maintenance after each event and even reconstruction after the monsoon season. © 2019 Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation: Mechanics, Monitoring, Modeling, and Assessment - Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation.

ABSTRACT: To improve ecological restoration and reconstruction and accurately understand the dynamic changes of soil recovery in an area affected by strong earthquakes in Southwest China, it is of great importance to evaluate the recovery rate and spatial heterogeneity of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) under different restoration conditions in various climate zones. Taking the adjacent undestroyed area as the control, the destroyed and treated areas of the arid valley climate zone and the subtropical monsoon climate zone in Wenchuan earthquake-affected area were selected as the research plots; we analyzed the recovery rate of SOC, TN, TP and the distribution of spatial heterogeneity after the earthquake. The results showed that the content of SOC, TN, and TP in the destroyed and treated areas in the two climate zones were significantly lower than that in the undestroyed areas, indicating that the nutrient condition of destroyed and treated areas after the earthquake did not recovered to the pre-earthquake level. The recovery rate of TN (range 53%-58%), TP (range 51%-58%) in the subtropical monsoon climate zone was higher than that of TN (range 32%-36%), TP (range 41%-49%) in the arid valley climate zone, as the average recovery rate of SOC had the same performance in two climate zones. The subtropical monsoon climate zone had a higher nutrient recovery rate. The nutrient variation coefficient of the destroyed and treated area and the undestroyed areas in the arid valley climate zone was higher than that of the subtropical monsoon climate zone; this indicated that the soil structure stability in the arid valley climate zone was poor and seriously destroyed by the disaster, with the spatial heterogeneity of soil nutrients and high possibility of soil erosion and secondary disasters. The C:N value of the destroyed and treated area in the arid valley climate zone was larger than that of the undestroyed zone, whereas the subtropical monsoon climate zone was the opposite. Our results indicated that the soil nutrient structure in the disaster area was seriously damaged and that climate might be the dominant factor affecting soil recovery. These results can provide a theoretical basis for the process of ecological restoration in the disaster area. © 2019 Science Press. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: The concept of temporary buildings may have many forms or definitions in different countries and regions. In China, they are defined as buildings and structures that are simply constructed for temporary use of production and life and are required to be demolished within a specified period of time. Container houses are the most common type in China. They have been widely used in post-disaster recovery, temporary resettlement of industrial workers and low-income groups. It also plays an important role in different historical stages. It is undeniable that they have the advantages of simple construction technology, fast construction speed, integration and high degree of modularization in practical application. However, from the beginning of the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, as well as the subsequent series of natural disasters, their design and functional defects were exposed. Through the spot investigation and questionnaire survey, this paper summarized these issues. For the reason that, this study attempts to fill this gap by introducing a new lightweight reconfigurable structure system (LRSS). First of all, in order to meet the needs of national conditions, the system is based on new modular design and manufacturing methods, quick to build and construction, but also easy to disassemble and transport. Moreover, the new design breaks through the traditional style of component form and size restrictions, with more human and sustainable features. Finally, through computer simulation and analysis, it is convinced that the new products have better comprehensive performance. Multiple comparison results are sufficient to illustrate the new structural system can meet the demand of people whom at different age even different social stratum, and ultimately achieve a win–win results from both social and environment system. © 2019 WIT Press.

ABSTRACT: Indirect seismic economic loss not only impacts regional economic recovery policies but is also related to economic assistance at the national level. Due to cross-regional economic activities and the difficulty of obtaining data, it is difficult for the indirect economic loss survey to cover all economic activities. However, nighttime light in an area can reflect the economic activity of the region. This article focuses on the indirect economic losses caused by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and evaluation of the progress of restoration and reconstruction based on nighttime light images. First, the functional relationship between GDP and nighttime light parameters is established based on pre-earthquake data. Next, the indirect loss of the earthquake is evaluated by the nighttime light attenuation in the disaster area after the earthquake. Then, the capacity recovery, which is characterized by the brightness recovery process of the light area, is evaluated. Lastly, the process of light expansion in the disaster area is analyzed to evaluate the speed and efficiency of economic expansion. © Author(s) 2018. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: How to combine disaster prevention and mitigation, post-disaster reconstruction and poverty alleviation has become a new hot issue. On 12 May 2008, a major earthquake devastated the Wenchuan area in Sichuan Province in the heartland of China. After ten-years have passed, it is a good time to review what we learned from the Great Wenchuan earthquake. The impact of Wenchuan earthquake on poverty-stricken counties, poverty-stricken villages, and poverty-stricken households was analyzed. Suggestions for improving the method of combining disaster prevention, post-disaster reconstruction, and poverty alleviation were proposed. The results from this research could serve as an important reference for formulation of the poverty alleviation and development program after a major earthquake. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 caused considerable damage to ecosystems in China. The objective of this study was to better understand the ecological recovery of the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit disaster areas and provide a scientific basis for the development of an ecological recovery strategy. In this study, remote sensing data were used to analyze the changes in ecosystems in in the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas from 2010 to 2015, including 39 districts and counties in Sichuan Province, China; furthermore, concurrent changes in water conservation, soil retention, and habitat quality were also assessed using the InVEST model. The spatial patterns and changes in ecosystem health in the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas were then evaluated quantitatively using the VOR model coupled with key ecosystem services. The main conclusions were as follows: (1) the area covered by wetlands and urban lands in the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas increased from 2010 to 2015, whereas that covered by vegetations and cultivated lands decreased, except for the forested environments, in areas hit by the magnitude - earthquake, which instead increased by 1309.77 hectares; (2) the mean vigor of ecosystems in the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas increased obviously, and the most significant increases in mean vigor occurred in areas hit by magnitude - and - earthquakes, where vigor increased by 14.84% and 12.47%, respectively; (3) overall, the water conservation capacity in the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas decreased slightly by 0.46%, whereas soil retention increased by 1.26%, and the change in habitat quality was relatively small; (4) the mean ecosystem health index (EHI) of Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas increased modestly (by 1.36%) from 0.6761 to 0.6853. Notably, the increase in EHI in the areas hit by magnitude - and - earthquakes were more significant than those in other areas, with increases of 4.01% and 3.48%, respectively, which indicated that the ecological recovery was most remarkable in the most severely damaged areas. It is worth noting that in some regions, including Baoxing, Hanyuan, Shimian, Fucheng, Guanghan, northwestern Wenchuan, and the northern parts of the study area, the EHI instead showed a downward trend owing to the reconstruction and development of the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas. Thus, to improve the ecosystem health and sustainable regional development of the Wenchuan earthquake hard-hit areas, the good ecological recovery trend observed in the areas hit by magnitude - and - earthquakes should be maintained. Simultaneously, more focus should be on the protection of basic farmland in the central plain area and natural ecological protection work in the southern and northern regions. © 2018 Science Press.

ABSTRACT: This paper builds a measurement framework of community recovery to earthquake as a way to measure the recovery capacity and performance of local government. First, the paper examines and documents the concept of community recovery to summarize the evidence on dimensions and indicators of community recovery. And four dimensions of community recovery—population, economy, building, and infrastructure, are established on the basis of interviewing the organizational specialists on post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. Second, this paper extents the concept of the resilience triangle to propose a two-stage stochastic program for building a measurement framework of community recovery. Third, this measurement framework is demonstrated for Wenchuan Community, China, in the context of earthquake. The results illustrate that the four dimensions of Wenchuan Community achieve vastly different recovery levels, and the economy has the lowest recovery level, which provides a robust basis to prioritize dimensions of community recovery, and reinforces the vital role and position of local governments in improving the community recovery. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: How disasters have affected economic growth has often been a subject for economic debate, and empirical studies of the experience in China are clearly inadequate. Using the panel data from 181 county-level cities in Sichuan province from 2003 to 2013, this paper investigates the direct and dynamic effects of the Wenchuan earthquake disaster on economic growth, as well as how national rescue affected postdisaster economic recovery. The econometric results show that earthquakes significantly reduce real GDP in the affected areas after controlling for the national rescue variables, and this negative effect exists in the affected area over a long time. In addition, our empirical findings suggest that the postdisaster national rescue can promote economic recovery in the affected areas by increasing government expenditure, improving traffic conditions, and enhancing the urbanization process and the level of industrialization. Besides, state financial aid has no obvious effect on the development of tertiary industries and the accumulation of human capital in affected areas. These results were found to be robust after applying several approaches to alleviate the potential endogeneity problem. Findings in this study carry several important policy implications. As well as providing national rescue to promote postdisaster reconstruction, the government should also develop policies that will provide direct aid funding to tertiary industries and boost postdisaster economic reconstruction and human capital accumulation, thus improving the efficiency of relief funding and reducing the long-term adverse effects of the disaster on economic growth. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Living environment reconstruction in Wenchuan earthquake disaster-hit areas received substantial attention internationally, so it is imperative to examine out the methods employed, to evaluate community reconstruction and recovery performances. However, the existing evaluation systems for post-disaster reconstruction practices are mostly generalized models, and thus, the actual differences among various reconstruction modes and local characteristics are given insufficient attention. After 10 years of reconstruction and recovery, Dujiangyan, Beichuan, and Wenchuan have exhibited distinct differences and characteristics because of two different reconstruction modes: "paired assistance" and "self-construction". Based on a thorough review of the literature and expert judgments, this article focuses on the introduction of evaluation factors comprising the opinions and requirements of disaster victims. Adopting the "four-step method" to select the evaluation factors through conceptual consolidation, analytical structuring, indicator identification, and index creation, this article summarizes the homogeneities and heterogeneities of the three different areas. The results reveal that people in different areas under the influences of different reconstruction modes and local characteristics will emphasize different evaluation factors and demonstrate different levels of concern for the same factor. This article analyzes the three areas and establishes an adaptable evaluation index system to provide scientific guidance to community recovery evaluations in different areas after major disasters. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Government trust is an important manifestation of the legitimacy of government, which can reduce the cost of recovery policy implementation and improve the efficiency of reconstruction after natural hazards. Local government is the main force of post-disaster reconstruction in China. The villagers' trust in local government plays an important role in post-disaster reconstruction. Therefore, enhancing the villagers' trust in local government will greatly benefit the resilience of post-disaster reconstruction and the sustainable development of the disaster area. Through analyzing the data collected from a three-year (2009-2012) follow-up survey in Wenchuan after it was struck by an earthquake, we found that villagers' trust toward the local government witnessed a significant decline. Low fairness in policy implementation, dense networks, and particularistic trust were the constraints that hindered the revitalization of trust in the local government. However, the economic improvement had no impact on the "trust in local government". These results suggest that post-disaster recovery should involve more than the reconstruction of the economic performance, such as the fairness of policy implementation and the relief of negative effects of villagers' social networks. Only when considering all of these factors will the sustainability of trust in local government be promoted and the reconstruction efficiency be enhanced in the process of disaster recovery. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Using Landsat remote-sensing data combined with geological information extracted from ALOS and Sentinel-1A radar data, the ecological environment was evaluated in the years 2007, 2008, 2013, and 2017 through gray correlation analysis on the basis of the construction of the pressure-state-response model. The main objective of this research was to assess the ecological environment changes in Wenchuan County before and after the earthquake, and to provide reference for future social development and policy implementation. The grading map of the ecological environment was obtained for every year, and the ecological restoration status of Wenchuan County after the earthquake was evaluated. The results showed that the maximum area cover at a "safe" ecological level was over 46.4% in 2007. After the 2008 earthquake, the proportion of "unsafe" and "very unsafe" ecological levels was 40.0%, especially around the Lancang River and the western mountain area in Wenchuan County. After five years of restoration, ecological conditions were improved, up to 48.0% in the region. The areas at "critically safe" and above recovered to 85.5% in 2017 within nine years after the deadly Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008. In this paper, we discuss the results of detailed analysis of ecological improvements and correlation with the degrees of pressure, state, and response layers of the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) model. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Taking a ten-year retrospective view, this article qualitatively evaluates the performance of the paired-assistance policy (PAP) implemented in response to China'sWenchuan earthquake from the perspective of sustainable recovery. Based on a review of relevant literature, the article proposes an integrated framework for the qualitative evaluation of the sustainability of disaster recovery. First, sustainable recovery prioritizes sustainability as the goal of activities undertaken to improve the local quality of life and local economic and environmental conditions. Second, sustainable recovery is a process involving several stages, from restoration to replacement reconstruction and finally to developmental construction. Third, sustainable recovery creates a structure that fosters local reliance through interactions between external and internal entities. Fourth, sustainable recovery emphasizes betterment over restoration and hazard mitigation. Overall, sustainable recovery integrates these four characteristics. Using the case-study method, this article qualitatively evaluates the Jiangsu-Mianzhu PAP (JM-PAP) from the perspective of sustainable recovery. The findings suggest that the JM-PAP laid a good foundation for sustainable recovery after the Wenchuan earthquake. Finally, policy recommendations are offered to improve the performance of the PAP in achieving sustainable recovery after future disasters in China. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The development of a concentrated rural settlement (CRS) is an effective method to achieve sustainable development and resilience. Several successful CRS cases have been reported after the Wenchuan earthquake. Existing studies mainly investigated the process of CRS reconstruction right after the Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May 2018. However, only a few studies have investigated the feelings of farmers towards CRS at the micro level in a medium term after the reconstruction. Thus, whether CRS benefits farmers and what improvements can be made with the settlement remain unknown, which further present barriers for enhancing sustainability. This research develops a comprehensive assessment model using the entropy weight method to measure the farmers’ satisfaction toward CRS after the Wenchuan earthquake. The degree of satisfaction of farmers from four villages was assessed with this model. Thorough discussions were conducted to analyze the factors with most and lest satisfaction, and further explore the reasons of farmers’ satisfaction. Findings of this study can support local governments to improve CRS for sustainable development in long term. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Rural areas around the world are increasingly exposed to natural disasters. To guide management intervention for sustainable development after natural disasters, scientists and policymakers need a better understanding of the linkages between livelihood changes after natural disasters and recovery outcomes. Despite the growing body of disaster research, systematic evaluation of the relationship between post-disaster changes in rural livelihoods and recovery outcomes is rare, largely due to the lack of relevant data. By taking advantage of the long-term data collection and research conducted in China's Wolong Nature Reserve (Wolong), we empirically evaluated livelihood changes after the catastrophic 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and how those changes are linked to the recovery of human well-being. Our results show that households’ livelihood portfolios in Wolong conspicuously changed after the earthquake and that human well-being had been recovering. However, we found most of these livelihood changes negatively affected, instead of facilitated, human well-being recovery. The enriched understanding of the linkages between post-disaster livelihood changes and recovery outcomes has important management implications for achieving Sustainable Development Goals amid natural disasters in Wolong and beyond. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to understand the social-physical vulnerabilities from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, this research established and validated a conceptual model for natural disaster analysis. The earthquake severely impacted the built environment, with many buildings being destroyed in the earthquake and from secondary impacts. This vulnerable environment exacerbated the poverty in the local residents because of the lack of flat land and the inaccessibility of the mountainous areas. Therefore, there was an interactive relationship between the built environment vulnerability and the social vulnerability. Due to general poverty and low education levels, social vulnerability in rural areas is often the result of poor quality building construction; in the event of an earthquake, therefore, most economic losses and casualties are the result of building destruction. To enhance social-physical resilience, measures should be adopted to mitigate the vulnerability of the built environment and society through actions such as land use planning, the use of seismic-resistant technologies, and investment in infrastructure, education, industrial development, and environmental protection. This research extracts the reasons for the vulnerabilities through an examination of the interactions between the natural environment, the built environment, and the local society. The insights gained have significant theoretical and practical implications in assisting vulnerable communities resist and adapt to natural hazards to achieve sustainable development. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: A stress reconstruction was performed based on focal mechanisms around the Longmen Shan region prior to the 2008 M<inf>s</inf> 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake using a newly developed algorithm (known as MCA). The method determines the stress tensor, including principal axes orientations, and quantitative stress values, such as the effective confining pressure and maximum shear stress. The results of the MCA application using data recorded by the regional network from 1989 to April 2008 show the background stress state around the Longmen Shan belt before the Wenchuan earthquake. The characteristics of the stress orientation reveal that the Longmen Shan region is primarily under the eastward extrusion of the eastern Tibetan plateau. Non-uniform quantitative stress distributions show low stress levels in the upper crust of the middle Longmen Shan segment, which is consistent with the observed high-angle reverse faulting associated with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. In contrast, other study areas, such as the Bayankela block and the NW strip extending to the Sichuan basin, show high stress intensity. This feature coincides with heterogeneity in the wave speed image of the upper crust in this region, which shows high S-wave speed in the high stress areas and comparatively low S-wave speed in low stress areas. Deformation features across the Longmen Shan belt with the slow rates of convergence determined by GPS and the distribution of surface deformation rates also are in keeping with our stress results. We propose a dynamic model in which sloping uplift under the Longmen Shan, which partly counteracts the pushing force from the eastern plateau, causes the low-quantitative stresses in the upper crust beneath the Longmen Shan. The decreasing gravitational potential energy beneath the Longmen Shan leads to earthquake thrust faulting and plays an important role in the geodynamics of the area that results from ductile thickening of the deep crust behind the Sichuan basin, creating a narrow, steep margin. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Lushan county of Ya’an city, Sichuan Province, China, on 20 April 2013. The Lushan earthquake damage is less than the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake’s, where 70,000 houses collapsed and 2 million people across nineteen prefectures and 115 counties of Sichuan province were affected. Temple Village (fictitious name), an old village in S township, was chosen as an intervention site. As most young adults went to work in the city, the old community became dilapidated and its traditional culture, architecture, custom, skill and wisdom were dying. Social workers were unable to tackle fully this community’s multiple needs, especially those associated with environmental and physical spaces linked to notions of belonging and identity, on their own. A transdisciplinary action research team in which social workers operated hand in hand with the disciplines of architectural design became the means for exploring an alternative model of post-disaster community reconstruction that would enhance the quality of life of left-behind people in this disaster-affected community. Working together, the research team facilitated the formation of a community kitchen project that enabled villagers to create a new building and co-operative organisations for the village’s long-term sustainable development. This paper presents the participatory design process, contribution of green social work and transdisciplinary interventions in post-disaster community reconstruction. © The Author 2017.

ABSTRACT: The Paired Assistance to Disaster Affected Areas (PADAA) programme is a mutual aid initiative with Chinese characteristics, which speeded up the process of restoring and reconstructing regions affected by the Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May 2008. The PADAA is an efficient instrument for catastrophe recovery, yet it remains a mysterious mechanism to many members of disaster management communities. This paper aims to lift the veil on it by assessing its origins and evolution. It draws on the multi-level moderated competition model to explain how the PADAA functions within the Chinese administrative system. The country's top-down political system allows the central authority to mandate provincial and local governments from more economically developed regions to assist devastated areas with post-disaster reconstruction. The practices of local accountability complement vertical control by giving leaders from donor regions strong incentives to accomplish assigned reconstruction tasks, resulting in intense competition between them. © 2018 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: This study examined the impact of social capital on disaster recovery in the 2008 earthquake-stricken rural communities inWenchuan, China. The results show that quake-affected households having more social capital recovered more easily and quickly from disasters. A larger network significantly increased the amount of government aid received for housing reconstruction. This indicates that network members assist the quake-affected households to apply for and obtain government aid. These findings imply that social capital, as a kind of non-institutionalized social force, facilitates earthquake-affected households' recovery from disaster in rural China. Based on these results, this study suggests that policymakers should pay special attention to improving the social capital of existing local households to improve disaster recovery. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: After Wenchuan and Lushan earthquake, the experience of Sichuan reconstruction planning is an important sample of agricultural village human settlements safety and regional ecological environment restoration. This paper combines the experience of the reconstruction of Dujiangyan after the Wenchuan earthquake - that is, the concept of sustainable ecological restoration as well as the concept of regional ecological restoration, and the post-disaster recovery study on Ya'an Zhougongshan Chengqing Temple and the surrounding environment after Lushan earthquake, trying to integrate into the process of post - disaster ecological restoration. Through a comprehensive assessment of the thinking on the regional scale issues and the impact of rural ecological infrastructure, we proposed macro-cognitive and multi-level measures of ecological restoration projects in order to provide effective methods to restore regional ecological environment and reconstruct sustainable human settlements in affected areas in the latest Jiuzhaigou earthquake. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

ABSTRACT: This article analyzes the role of dynamic economic resilience in relation to recovery from disasters in general and illustrates its potential to reduce disaster losses in a case study of the Wenchuan earthquake of 2008. We first offer operational definitions of the concept linked to policies to promote increased levels and speed of investment in repair and reconstruction to implement this resilience. We then develop a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that incorporates major features of investment and traces the time-path of the economy as it recovers with and without dynamic economic resilience. The results indicate that resilience strategies could have significantly reduced GDP losses from the Wenchuan earthquake by 47.4% during 2008–2011 by accelerating the pace of recovery and could have further reduced losses slightly by shortening the recovery by one year. The results can be generalized to conclude that shortening the recovery period is not nearly as effective as increasing reconstruction investment levels and steepening the time-path of recovery. This is an important distinction that should be made in the typically vague and singular reference to increasing the speed of recovery in many definitions of dynamic resilience. © 2018 Society for Risk Analysis

ABSTRACT: Concentrated rural settlement (CRS) reconstruction was promoted as a sustainable rural reconstruction way after the Wenchuan earthquake in China. Despite the various benefits of CRS, haphazard CRS reconstruction presents risks to future sustainable development. However, such risks have been rarely investigated. Thus, this study examines the risk factors with eight CRS reconstruction cases after the Wenchuan earthquake. The existence and interactions of economic, social, environmental, and disaster relief risks are observed after reconstruction. A conceptual model is proposed for systematically interpreting the risks. Results obtained can help the local government judiciously consider the risk factors in order to achieve sustainable development when initiating rapid reconstruction. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: A large number of landslides were triggered by the Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake which occurred on 12th May 2008. Landslides impacted extensive areas along the Mingjiang River and its tributaries. In the landslide deposits, soil and gravel fragments generally co-exist and their proportions may influence the hydrological and erosion processes on the steep slopes of the deposit surface. Understanding the effects of the mixtures of soil and gravels in landslide deposits on erosion processes is relevant for ecological reconstruction and water and soil conservation in Wenchuan earthquake area. Based on field surveys, indoor artificial rainfall simulation experiments with three rainfall intensities (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mmmin-1) and three proportions of gravel (50%, 66.7% and 80%) were conducted to measure how the proportion of gravel affected soil erosion and sediment yield in landslide sediments and deposits. Where the proportion of gravel was 80%, no surface runoff was produced during the 90 minute experiment under all rainfall intensities. For the 66.7% proportion, no runoff was generated at the lowest rainfall intensity (1.0 mmmin-1). As a result of these interactions, the average sediment yield ranked as 50> 66.6> 80% with different proportions of gravel. In addition, there was a positive correlation between runoff generation and sediment yield, and the sediment yield lagging the runoff generation. Together, the results demonstrate an important role of gravel in moderating the mobilization of landslide sediment produced by large earthquakes, and could lay the foundation for erosion models which provide scientific guidance for the control of landslide sediment in the Wenchuan earthquake zone, China. © 2018 Gan et al.

ABSTRACT: Time series monitoring of earthquake-stricken areas is significant in evaluating post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. The time series of nighttime light (NTL) data collected by the defense meteorological satellite program-operational linescan system (DMSP/OLS) sensors provides a unique and valuable resource to study changes in human activity (HA) because of the long period of available data. In this paper, the DMSP/OLS NTL images' digital number (DN) is used as a proxy for the intensity of HA since there is a high correlation between them. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology to analyze the changes of intensity and distribution of HA in different areas affected by a 2008 earthquake in Wenchuan, China. In order to compare the trends of HA before and after the earthquake, the DMSP/OLS NTL images from 2003 to 2013 were processed and analyzed. However, their analysis capability is greatly limited owing to a lack of in-flight calibration. To improve the continuity and comparability of DMSP/OLS NTL images, this study developed an automatic intercalibration method to systematically correct NTL data. The results reveal that: (1) compared with the HA before the earthquake, the reconstruction and recovery of theWenchuan earthquake have led to a significant increase of HA in earthquake-stricken areas within three years after the earthquake; (2) the fluctuation of HA in a severely-affected area is greater than that in a less-affected area; (3) recovery efforts increase development in the most affected areas to levels that exceeded the rates in similar areas which experienced less damage; and (4) areas alongside roads and close to reconstruction projects exhibited increased development in regions with otherwise low human activity. © 2018 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: After the May 12, 2008, Wenchuan earthquake, aftershock activity became a threat to the relief and reconstruction process, which was further emphasized because in the region of west Sichuan there had been quite a few landslide lakes caused by the mainshock. While organizing domestic work on the estimation of aftershock hazard, China Earthquake Administration (CEA) invited several experts from abroad for discussions on the aftershock sequence. At approximately the same time, a paper by a Russian group, indicating that there would be an earthquake with magnitude 6.5~7 near Beijing around August, 2008, caused much concern, due to the sensitivity of the place and time (in the sense of not only the Wenchuan earthquake but also the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games). Dealing with this forecast, six experts from different countries were invited by the CEA to review the paper. The present Chapter summarizes the two cases by archiving the key messages arising from the international communication, providing a unique set of materials both for the study of earthquake forecasting and for the history of seismology. © 2018 Higher Education Press and Walter de Gruyter GmbH.

ABSTRACT: While multi-stakeholder collaboration is critical for effective community post-disaster reconstruction (CPDR), it is often very difficult in practice. The Longmen Shan Fault active seismic zone in China has experienced several recent earthquakes with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and 2013 Lushan earthquake, both of which caused extensive and widespread damage to many communities, presenting unprecedented challenges for post-disaster reconstruction. This paper develops a multi-cycle field research method that involves three interconnected cycles: internet research, field visits, and extensive surveys: to examine multi-stakeholder collaboration for the CPDR following the Wenchuan earthquake. It was found that there were 12 types of active stakeholders engaged across four main areas: infrastructure rebuilding, psychological recovery, socio-economic rehabilitation, and ecological restoration. Specifically, local community participation and effective collaboration between the community and the external stakeholders were found to be the most crucial elements for successful reconstruction. Multi-stage field research after the Lushan earthquake verified that CPDR was effective and that multi-stakeholder collaboration had improved from the lessons learnt from the Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction experience. Some advantages and limitations of this research are also given. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China triggered numerous landslides in the stricken area. The loose landslide materials retained on mountain slopes and in gullies are prone to reactivation and may transform into debris flows in the rainy season. Nine years after the Wenchuan earthquake, debris flows are still active in Gaojiagou Ravine 16.5 km north of the epicentre. On 14 August 2010, 3 July 2011, 13 July 2013, and 6 July 2016, four large-scale debris flows were triggered by heavy storms in Gaojiagou Ravine. The four debris flows blocked the Minjiang River twice and caused severe damage to nearby villages and reconstruction sites. Several questions arise from these repeated debris flows. Did the level of triggering rainfall change in the four debris flow events? How did the initiation mechanism evolve over time? What are the differences in the runout characteristics in the four events? How did the check dams constructed in 2012 function in the subsequent debris flows? In this paper, we evaluated the loose deposit volumes in Gaojiagou Ravine before and after each of the four debris flows and the runout volumes, and analysed the triggering rainfall intensities, initiation mechanisms and runout characteristics of the four debris flows. The rainfall threshold for the debris flows in Gaojiagou Ravine increased over time, and the initiation mechanisms evolved from landslides to channel-bed failure, and subsequently to channel-bank erosion. The mobility of the debris flows decreased from 2010 to 2016 as the initiation positions moved lower and the particle size of the runout materials became coarser. © 2018

ABSTRACT: As seen historically, a War or a Natural Disaster brought devastating destruction to the place where the misfortune took place. The Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and The Great East Japan Earthquake, The Chins Tangshan Earthquake and The Great Wenchuan Earthquake are the cases. The function of the Relief to the cities suffered the disasters and the function of the architects' activities in construction rebuilding should never be overlooked. Hiroshima is about to begin its 70th year after the atomic bombing. The history of the restoration of Hiroshima will be close referenced to the reconstruction of the areas suffering from natural disasters in the future. This paper taking the reconstruction of the Hiroshima as objects of this study, researching by documentary investigations and interviews and investigations on the spot, analyzing reconstruction of the seismic areas and the architects' activities as well as the function of these consequent effects. Through the research following findings were obtained. We can observe that most of the building activity that occurred in the burned ruins immediately after the bombing event was performed by local design offices. The vigorous activity of the local design offices deserves attention and should not be overlooked as a subject of research to better understand the reconstruction of the local city. Although many buildings in the reconstruction process were constructed by others, a major role was played by local design offices. On August 06, 1949, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial City Construction Law was promulgated and two major competitions-the Peace Memorial Cathedral competition and the Hiroshima Peace Center competition-were conducted. These competitions not only played a significant role in promoting the full-scale reconstruction of Hiroshima but also played a major role in the development of post-war apanese architecture. From the early mid-1950s, when the Hiroshima Peace Center and the Peace Memorial Cathedral began to be built, we can observe that a non-Hiroshima Japanese architect or the design office and leading general contractors began to seriously enter the architectural arena in Hiroshima. © SPSD Press from 2010, SPSD Press, Kanazawa.

ABSTRACT: In April 2013, a 7.0 Mw earthquake struck along the Longmen Shan fault in the city of Ya’an, Sichuan Province, China, causing serious damage. The invaluable contributions of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in dealing with this disaster highlighted the significance of government–NGO relationships in post-disaster reconstruction and the effect this has on the efficiency and quality of post-disaster reconstruction. This paper examines government–NGO relationships (GNR) in the post-Lushan earthquake period as a multi-stakeholder collaborative problem based on organizational lifecycle perspectives through the birth, growth, stability, and saturation stages. Two-year field research was conducted in the affected areas which identified the GNR as a bridged government–NGO relationship (BGNR) during the reconstruction period, with the Ya’an service center acting as the bridging organization. The BGNR’s experience was compared to the previous Wenchuan earthquake, and the general BGNR post-disaster reconstruction situation is discussed on two dimensions: mutuality and organizational identity. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: On August 8, 2017, a M7.0 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, China, resulting in significant casualties and property damage. Therefore, it is critical to identify the areas of potential aftershocks before reconstruction and re-settling people to avoid future disasters. Based on the elastic dislocation theory and a multi-layered lithospheric model, we calculate the Coulomb failure stress changes caused by the Wenchuan and Jiuzhaigou earthquakes, discuss the relationship between the M<inf>w</inf>7.9 Wenchuan and M7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquakes, and analyze the influence of the aftershock distribution and stress changes on the major faults in this region caused by the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. The co- and post-seismic stress changes caused by the Wenchuan earthquake significantly increased the stress accumulation at the hypocenter of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. Therefore, the occurrence of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake was probably stimulated by the Wenchuan earthquake. The aftershock distribution is well explained by the co-seismic stress changes of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. The stress accumulation and corresponding seismic hazard on the Maqu-Heye segment of the East Kunlun fault and the northern extremity of the Huya fault has been further increased by the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. © 2017, Science China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

ABSTRACT: The MS 8.0Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 caused huge damage to land cover in the northwest of China's Sichuan province. In order to determine the nutrient loss and short term characteristics of change in soil chemical properties, we established an experiment with three treatments (‘undestroyed’, ‘destroyed and treated’, and ‘destroyed and untreated’), two climate types (semi-arid hot climate and subtropical monsoon climate), and three slope positions (upslope, mid-slope, and bottom-slope) in 2011. Ten soil properties—including pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, Ca2 +, Mg2 +, alkaline hydrolysable nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium—were measured in surface soil samples in December 2014. Analyses were performed to compare the characteristics of 3-year change in soil chemical properties in two climate zones. This study revealed that soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, Ca2 + content, alkaline hydrolysable nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium were significantly higher in subtropical monsoon climate zones than in semi-arid hot climate zones. However, subtropical monsoon climate zones had a higher decrease in soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, and alkaline hydrolysable nitrogen in ‘destroyed and untreated’ sites than in semi-arid hot climate zones. Most soil chemical properties exhibited significant interactions, indicating that they may degrade or develop concomitantly. ‘Destroyed and treated’ sites in both climate types had lower C:P and N:P ratios than ‘destroyed and untreated’ sites. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the first, second, and third principal components explained 76.53% of the variation and might be interpreted as structural integrity, nutrient supply availability, and efficiency of soil; the difference of soil parent material; as well as weathering and leaching effects. Our study indicated that the characteristics of short term change in soil properties were affected by climate types and treatments, but not slope positions. Our results provide useful information for the selection of restoration countermeasures in different climate types to facilitate ecological restoration and reconstruction strategies in earthquake-affected areas. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: This study develops and validates a conceptual model of the role of built environment resilience to natural disasters by conducting an overall case study of the Wenchuan earthquake. This research shows that the enormous losses resulting from the Wenchuan earthquake were largely attributed to failures of built environment, which also severely affected local emergency response and external aid. The significant disparities in dwelling destruction and income between rural and urban dwellers further reveal that socially disadvantaged conditions increase the vulnerability of built environments in rural areas. The lessons learned from Wenchuan earthquake indicate how it is critical to consider both the resilience of built environments to withstand external impacts and the vulnerability to the natural environment by adequate identification and assessment of hazards, proper land use planning, setting of appropriate design codes, application of natural hazard-resistant technologies, and strict construction process management. Fundamentally, creating incentives for equitably allocating resources to mitigate disasters in inland rural communities of developing countries should be a policy emphasis to facilitate sustainable project development. © 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: Echoing calls for further empirical research of exploring complex mechanism of dark tourism experiences, as well as following the series of studies on post-disaster recovery (Wenchuan earthquake in China), it takes an earthquake-ruined country town Beichuan as a study case to explore relationships between dark places, on-site experiences, and behavioral intentions. By using structural equation modeling, it proves that the framework of aroused memory, cognition-affection, satisfaction, and behavior intention (place protection) is an effective new approach to understand visitors’ psychological experiences in the contest of dark tourism. Most importantly, it innovatively proves in quantitative way that aroused memory (either firsthand or secondhand) is the antecedent factor that influences the on-site cognition and emotion, and past experience plays the moderating role affects both the extent and the inner relation of dark experiences between visitors who were exposed/not exposed to a specific dark event. The findings are also beneficial in guiding post-disaster site planning and management. © 2017 Asia Pacific Tourism Association.

ABSTRACT: Bridges are the most vulnerable junctions of the transportation system in metropolitan areas, the failure of which could lead to significant damages of relative traffic network as to functional incapacitations of cities. The probable secondary disaster caused by the bridge failure also may reduce the emergency rescue efficiency, so the anti-seismic performance of the transportation system is essential for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the entire metropolitan areas under earthquake attacks. Based on Tangshan, Haicheng, Wenchuan earthquake damage data of bridges, the fragility curve model of the bridges is established according to soil type of the site and construction time of the bridges. The comprehensive analysis method of seismic hazard rapid assessment of a large number of urban bridges is proposed which is used to evaluate the damage of the bridges of main road within the beltway of Taiyuan City under near-fault ground motion. Compared with the previous bridge vulnerability model, the proposed bridge vulnerability model can be used to evaluate the seismic damage of bridges more accurately. It provides theoretical basis for the reconstruction and reinforcement of urban bridges, rapid recovery after the earthquake, and also provides necessary support for the decision of emergency rescue after the earthquake. © 2017 Science Press.

ABSTRACT: Much of the literature on recovery focuses on the economy, the physical environment and infrastructure at a macro level, which may ignore the personal experiences of affected individuals during recovery. This paper combines internal factors at a micro level and external factors at a macro level to model for understanding perception of recovery (PoR). This study focuses on areas devastated by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. With respect to three recovery-related aspects (house recovery condition (HRC), family recovery power (FRP) and reconstruction investment (RI)), structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied. It was found that the three aspects (FRP, HRC and RI) effectively explain how earthquake affected households perceive recovery. Internal factors associated with FRP contributed the most to favourable PoR, followed by external factors associated with HRC. Findings identified that for PoR the importance of active recovery within households outweighed an advantageous house recovery condition. At the same time, households trapped in unfavourable external conditions would invest more in housing recovery, which result in wealth accumulation and improved quality of life leading to a high level of PoR. In addition, schooling in households showed a negative effect on improving PoR. This research contributes to current debates around post-disaster permanent housing policy. It is implied that a one-size-fits-all policy in disaster recovery may not be effective and more specific assistance should be provided to those people in need. © 2017 Lin et al.

ABSTRACT: Two modes, reallocated reconstruction as well as in-situ reconstruction, are usually applied to post-earthquake reconstruction. This paper compares and analyzes the differences of the two modes empirically on the basis of the evaluations of the earthquake victims. Based on the framework outlined in the Tsunami Recovery Status Report issued by United Nations and the Overall Plan for Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction issued by China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, an evaluation indicator system is proposed, which consists of six categories of evaluation indicators, including livelihoods, urban housing, infrastructure, public services, eco-environment and spiritual homeland. The system is used to evaluate the degree of satisfaction with post-earthquake reconstruction from the perspective of measured residential satisfaction. This paper then presents the results of case analyses of two typical quake-hit regions in China's 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Wenchuan and Beichuan, which adopted reallocated reconstruction and in-situ reconstruction modes respectively for post-earthquake reconstruction. The analyses are conducted on the basis of survey data from 300 questionnaires and data from statistical yearbooks. The results show that (1) it is statistically significant that the reallocated reconstruction mode brings the higher total degree of satisfaction with post-earthquake reconstruction than the in-situ reconstruction does, and (2) the in-situ reconstruction mode only generates relatively better results than reallocated reconstruction does in terms of the spiritual homeland-related indicators, including neighbor relationship, communication with relative, family harmony, and health of families. The critical indicators affecting the total degree of satisfaction with post-earthquake reconstruction are identified as well, which are preservation and development of culture, governmental service and housing. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

ABSTRACT: Many analysts consider 2008 to have been “NGO year zero” for China, as the relief and reconstruction process following the Wenchuan earthquake witnessed a significant surge in NGO activity. This study traces the development trajectory of three NGOs in Y City over the eight years since the area was severely struck by the Wenchuan earthquake. These NGOs actively assisted in the post-disaster recovery. By the time the reconstruction was complete, they had translated their distinct resources, development plans, and relationships with local government into different approaches to helping the local community. This study proposes an interactive model that captures the nuanced dynamics over time on both sides of the NGO–local government relationships. The model focuses on variations in NGOs’ orientations and bargaining power. This yields a matrix with four elementary types of relationship: “parent-–child,” “mercantile,” “predator–prey,” and alienated relationships. These interaction patterns and their effects are clearly seen in the case studies. © 2017, International Society for Third-Sector Research and The Johns Hopkins University.

ABSTRACT: Earthquake-induced landslides are the most common geological disasters caused by large seismic activities in mountainous areas, and they are known for their suddenness, destructiveness, and extensive distribution range. These landslides often result in severe casualties and economic losses. Currently, regional earthquake-induced landslides are mainly obtained by visual interpretation and computer data extraction from remote sensing images. These methods are objective, time-consuming, and low in precision. Thus, they cannot address the requirement of practically conducting emergency surveys and disaster evaluations after earthquakes. In this study, with the main data source of high-resolution remote sensing images from ZY-3 and GF-1, as well as the study area of the Wenchuan earthquake region, objects of multilevel landslides were established using the multi-scale optimum partition method based on an in-depth analysis of seismic landslide features. A recognition rule set of multi-dimensional landslides was also built by combining topographic and image features, such as spectrum, texture, and geometry. Additionally, recognition models for landslide stratification were proposed based on the recognition models of high-resolution images and an understanding of the scenes. Through all of the preceding efforts mentioned, the spatial distribution of the seismic landslide, as well as the sliding source, transport, and depositional areas, can be identified. The analysis results of the experimental area showed a minimum recognition accuracy of 81.89%, with the depositional zone of landslides being the easiest zone to recognize, and the established method can be generalized. These findings may provide technical support for post-earthquake emergency investigations and further promote the application of high-resolution remote sensing data from Chinese satellites for landslides recognition. © 2017, Science Press.

ABSTRACT: “People first” is one of the guiding principle of post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction (PERR) in China. Residents’ satisfaction should be one of the objects of PERR. The article examines the satisfaction level of residents in Lushan county of Sichuan Province, an area stricken both by the Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake in 2008 and the Lushan Ms7.0 earthquake in 2013. Census data and factor analysis were used for analysis.

ABSTRACT: This discussion interrogates the ruins of Beichuan, a county town in North Sichuan that was destroyed and rendered uninhabitable by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Those ruins exist today in two principal forms. The remains of the original townsite have been evacuated and opened to the public as an open-air memorial; and earthquake museums have preserved artifacts recovered from the townsite and organized them alongside supporting texts, images, exhibits, dioramas, and amusement attractions. The ghost town, it is argued, ruptures the reform-era sense of national progress and development, forcing its observers and participants to acknowledge loss and absence. Connecting to a wider discourse, the National Earthquake Memorial Museum (NEMM) attempts to piece that sensibility back together by creating a particular memory of the massive state-led relief effort, by "disciplining" the catastrophe through inquiry and education, and by sublimating the earthquake through science, planning, and building. Although they remain emotionally separate, the ruins and NEMM have a natural tension with one another. Away from the epicenter, the privately managed Wenchuan Earthquake Museum (WEM) combines ruins and narrative to capture the "strange objectivity" that comes from any effort to make sense of what is ultimately insensible. © 2017 Copyright 2017 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

ABSTRACT: Ray tracing is an important method to study seismic wave propagating in the lateral inhomgeneous media of the crust. Partial derivatives of theoretical trival time with respect to the velocity at the meshing point of the model are derived. Simultaneous iterative reconstruction tomography (SIRT for short) method is used to invert the data of a deep seismic wide-angle reflection/refraction profle across the middle of Longmenshan fault zone, which can cover the shortage of time consuming and non-quantitative error analysis for trial-and-error method. Observed data for each shot are firstly inverted to get a one-dimensional velocity model, and then a simple two-dimensional velocity model is obtained by interpolating method. The two-dimensional model is adjusted by fitting observed and theoretical travel times, which makes the new model more close to the real one. SIRT method is further used to travel time inversion, and thus reaches final two-dimensional crustal velocity structure. The inverted result shows that the deposit in the east part of the profile is thicker than that in the middle folded zone and the western plateau, and there is basement rock appearing in the part area of the middle folded zone. The interfaces of the strata in the two sides of the transitional zone are almost horizontal, and in the western side of the transitional zone, there is a discontinuity interface in both the middle and lower crust. In addition, there are also lower velocity layers with different thickness in the transitional zone, and their thickness shows an increase tendency from east to west. It should be mentioned, that the three main faults in Longmenshan fault zone cut deeply the bottom of basement, which was resulted from the upward climbing movement of Songpan-Garze block to the eastern direction along a shovel-like fault and prevented from Yangtze block. There is a maximum shear stress region in the footwall of the fault inside the upper crust at the depth of 15 km, which is just the source location of the M<inf>S</inf>8.0 Wenchuan earthquake. © 2017, Acta Seismologica Sinica Press.

ABSTRACT: After the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a large amount of loose landslide deposits was left in the stricken region. A heavy storm in 2010 turned numerous deposits into debris flows. After 2010, vegetation gradually recovered on the remnant soil deposits. During the wet seasons in 2013 and 2015, the number of debris flows decreased significantly compared with that in 2010. This paper investigates the role of vegetation in mitigating runoff induced hillslope erosion and debris flows. The study slope is near the epicentre of the Wenchuan earthquake. Three levels of vegetation restoration are considered: bare in 2010, middle level in 2013 and high level in 2015. Soil samples were taken from the landslide deposits to determine the root mass density, which is used to quantify erosion resistance parameters at different vegetation levels. Massive erosion is simulated in the 2010 case, which in turn develops into hillslope debris flows. Very little or no erosion is simulated in the 2013 and 2015 cases, which is in part attributed to the enhanced resistance to erosion by restored vegetation. A parametric study is conducted to further investigate the effectiveness of erosion reduction through revegetation. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: There has been a growing tendency in recent years to use resilience theory when drawing up guidelines for formulating urban plans. However, restorative resilience analysis, which is the application of resilience thinking to introspect the planning system, has not yet been well addressed in existing academic inquiry. This article attempts to fill this gap by examining whether urban resilience features in China’s reconstruction planning regulation on different geographical levels, using carefully selected proxy resilience attributes. Reconstruction planning legislation and policies (RPLPs) are the focus of this study because they are perceived to play an important potential role in defining normative planning discourses and legitimizing planning practices. The article develops three major arguments. Firstly, while urban resilience does not yet feature explicitly on the agenda for reconstruction planning in China, specifications of RPLPs do convey certain attributes of urban resilience, but in a distorted form which reflects a failure to fully represent the evolutionary resilience perspective. Secondly, these RPLPs enable, at least rhetorically, a highly connected and efficient environment for post-disaster reconstruction efforts across levels and among institutions, especially through the adoption of a multilayered partner support program (PSP). Thirdly, based on the second argument, resilience is more usefully interpreted as a process rather than an outcome, as the performance of planning regulations would suggest. These arguments are elaborated through a case study of reconstruction planning in Wenchuan County following the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. © 2017 Hong Kong Geographical Association.

ABSTRACT: China’s counterpart assistance policy is of vital importance in providing guidance for emergency management and post-disaster reconstruction. However, the amount of assistance that partner provinces should provide as well as the criteria that partners should abide by in offering counterpart assistance remain a main challenge. The goal of this research is to fill this gap by proposing a new framework consisting of an interregional input–output (IRIO) model and a resilience index. Subsequently, the indirect economic loss is obtained by utilizing the index system of provincial economic resilience assessments, with measures of indirect economic loss developed from the IRIO. Furthermore, to examine the internal validity and systematic error, the reliability of the adopted models, the calculation methods, and the index systems are investigated. To assess the external validity of the proposed measures and resilience index of the framework, data from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake are applied for estimating parameter values of the framework, and a follow-up investigation was conducted for examining the fairness and enhanced effectiveness of the new counterpart assistance criteria. In summary, this paper attempts to present some new ideas about the analysis of economic motivations of mutual aid and the improvement of the counterpart assistance policy. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 resulted in massive casualties and economic loss. To reconstruct after such a big catastrophe, the Chinese Government used a specific approach-a one-on-one assistance programme-to recover within three years. As construction of the infrastructure, economy and education were addressed, this approach has been welcomed in the affected communities. Community residents felt that cultural heritage and economics had been looked after. Somehow, after the help ended, affected communities found it difficult to maintain their livelihoods. This chapter explores the post-earthquake reconstruction strategies, examines the recovery challenges and provides recommendations to policies and theories in post-disaster reconstruction. © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Graham Marsh, Iftekhar Ahmed, Martin Mulligan, Jenny Donovan and Steve Barton; individual chapters, the contributors.

ABSTRACT: At present, most of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) night-time light data are applied to large-scale regional development assessment, while there are little for the study of earthquake and other disasters. This study has extracted night-time light information before and after earthquake within Wenchuan county with adoption of DMSP/OLS night-time light data. The analysis results show that the night-time light index and average intensity of Wenchuan county were decreased by about 76% and 50% respectively from the year of 2007 to 2008. From the year of 2008 to 2011, the two indicators were increased by about 200% and 556% respectively. These research results show that the night-time light data can be used to extract the information of earthquake and evaluate the occurrence of earthquakes and other disasters. © 2017 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: How can governments and survivors prepare for and manage natural disasters? Post-disaster reconstruction researchers advocate that community involvement is needed to help survivors recover effectively. This study aims to propose that cooperative goals between government officials and survivors develop guanxi relationships and constructive controversy wherein survivors voice their opinions to aid disaster recovery. Design/methodology/approach: The authors adopted the critical incident technique (CIT), which has proved especially useful for studying complex issues, as well as site-intensive research for interviews and participant observation. After developing a local reputation and rapport by working in a residential resettlement area for two months, an author used the CIT to ask 118 survivors of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to describe specific incidents when they interacted with government officials about recovery issues and then to rate survey items that measure independent and dependent variables. Findings: Results, including structural equation analyses, support the reasoning that cooperative goals between government and survivors facilitate guanxi and constructive controversy, which in turn produced effective disaster recovery, as indicated by survivors’ social support, satisfaction, reduced stress and beliefs that government officials led effectively. Research limitations/implications: The data are self-reported and subject to biases and may not be accurate. Practical implications: In addition to developing theoretical understanding, the results can have important practical implications for strengthening relationships and constructive controversy between government and survivors. Social implications: Results suggest that communities have practical ways to prepare for disasters. Structuring cooperative goals among survivors, encouraging guanxi relationships, and training in constructive controversy should promote effective recovery from natural disasters. Originality/value: The paper develops theory and research on how leaders can promote community involvement for effective disaster management. The paper proposes that high-quality interpersonal relationships, also referred to guanxi, and the open-minded discussion of opposing ideas, labeled constructive controversy, are major components of effective community involvement. The paper adds to the literature by empirically documenting the utility of the Western-developed theory of cooperation and competition and the concept of constructive controversy for understanding the effectiveness of government leadership for disaster recovery in China. © 2017, © Emerald Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: Disasters shape the development of communities and societies not only physically but also socially. This chapter provides some quantitative evidence to this effect by examining changes in social capital in communities affected by the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in China. A two-wave, longitudinal household questionnaire survey data set was used for analysis. The baseline data were obtained in January, 2009, around 8 months after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, adopting a stratifed sampling method within a county severely disrupted by the earthquake. A follow-up survey with the same households was conducted in the summer of 2012. Finally, 415 household questionnaire surveys from nine communities within the county were collected for analysis. Overall, it can be concluded that social capital was strengthened in the post-disaster recovery process in the survey area. Social capital was measured according to three dimensions: (1) affiliation with organizations, (2) the degree of available social support, and (3) the degree of social cohesion within communities. It was found that the average degree of social capital increased during the recovery process, with a decrease of social capital inequalities between different families. More specifically, although informal personal networks were found to be the most prominent sources of social support, the support provided by formal organizations played a relatively more important role immediately after the catastrophe, given that most of the personal networks were also affected. Community cohesion was also found to have increased, with a decrease of standard deviation in the recovery process. This chapter suggests that disasters could generate positive effects rather than negative ones alone. Stronger and more tightly knit communities could be built in the disaster recovery process, if appropriate policies and methods are implemented. © Copyright 2017 by Emerald Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: In 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck southwest China less than 100 km north of Chengdu, the booming capital of Sichuan Province. The city government undertook a massive reconstruction project in its rural hinterlands that was guided by existing policies to develop rural areas through coordinated urban and rural planning. Planners sought to avoid replicating urban settlements in rural areas by developing recognizably “pastoral” villages, an approach that is being widely echoed in the relatively new discipline of rural spatial planning in China. This paper argues that such design concessions evade the key feature of the new villages: the concentration of rural residents. The Chengdu government, though this symbolic and actual de-peopling of rural landscapes, has recast rural space as an environmental amenity and an abstract stock of arable land. Drawing on interviews, site visits, and policy and media documents, the paper analyzes the metropolitan plans that provided the framework for rural reconstruction in post-quake Chengdu, and connects these to a model village site in Chengdu's rural periphery. The case illustrates the need to understand site-level village planning in the context of regional political economies of land, and highlights the new role that metropolitan governments are playing in rural development strategies. © 2016

ABSTRACT: The steel structure of the cold formed thin-walled steel structure has recently become an important form of residential buildings in the United States, Australia, Japan, and other developed countries. Owing to the rapid construction speed, good earthquake and wind resistance, and high mechanization degree of the housing system, it has been used as a new residential system that is widely used in our country. The cold formed thin-walled steel structure accounted for a large proportion of the residential reconstruction in the disaster area after the Wenchuan earthquake. At present, the test and research on the low level, cold-formed thin-walled steel structure mainly focused on its components, and the research on its overall performance is relatively limited. The mechanical properties of low rise cold-formed, thin-walled steel structure system included the component and composition of the wall, as well as their relation to construction and non-structural factors, such as wall and floor openings and wall arrangement. In this paper, the mechanical properties of the low layer cold-formed thin walled steel structure were analyzed. The nonlinear finite element model was established by the finite element software ANSYS, and the mechanical properties of the finite element model were analyzed under the condition of dead, constant, live, wind, and gravity loads. Elastic-plastic dynamic time history analysis method was used to calculate and analyze the structure of the low rise cold-formed thin-walled steel structures under earthquake.

ABSTRACT: In Shaken Authority, Christian P. Sorace examines the political mechanisms at work in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the broader ideological energies that drove them. Sorace takes Communist Party ideas and discourse as central to how that organization formulates policies, defines legitimacy, and exerts its power. Sorace argues that the Communist Party has never abandoned its conviction that discourse can shape the world and the people who inhabit it. Sorace also demonstrates how the Communist Party's planning apparatus continues to play a crucial role in engineering China's economy and market construction, especially in the countryside. Sorace takes a distinctive and original interpretive approach to understanding Chinese politics, and Shaken Authority demonstrates how Communist Party discourse and ideology influenced the official decisions and responses to the Sichuan earthquake. Sorace provides a clear view of the lived outcomes of Communist Party plans, rationalities, and discourses in the earthquake zone. The three case studies he presents each demonstrate a different type of reconstruction and model of development: urban-rural integration, tourism, and ecological civilization. Sorace's work emphasizes the need for a grounded literacy in the political concepts, discourses, and vocabularies of the Communist Party itself. To dismiss China's official discourse as "empty propaganda," Sorace argues, makes China and Chinese realities harder to understand, not easier. © 2017 by Cornell University. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: The scientific and reasonable assessment of disaster loss is the basic work for disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Indirect economic loss is also an important part of scientific assessment for disaster influence. Taking the stricken area of 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan as an example, this paper preliminarily analyzed the sections-related indirect economic loss resulting from Wenchuan earthquake by the methods of input-output analysis. The results show that, 1)the sections-related indirect economic loss of Wenchuan earthquake reached up to 2,545.32 billion Yuan, which is as much as 3 times the direct economic loss in Sichuan Province. The direct economic loss does not evaluate the effects of Wenchuan earthquake disaster completely, and the indirect economic loss is an inseparable part for the systematic assessment of disaster influence. 2)The characteristics of economic losses are not the same among different sectors in Sichuan. The indirect economic losses of industry and other services are the biggest in all sectors of Sichuan. However, the ratios of indirect and direct economic loss in industry, agriculture, construction are the highest, which is over 14.60, 8.70 and 7.11, respectively. 3)Although the uncertainty exists in the assessment result due to the limitation of input-output model, input-output analysis is still the most wildly used method to assess the indirect economic loss of natural hazard. Furthermore, the data accuracy is also an important factor influencing the economic loss assessment of natural hazard. © 2016, Editorial Office of Seismology and Geology. All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: In the global carbon cycle, terrestrial biomass plays an important role in both as a sink and source. To evaluate biomass variation due to various natural hazards, it is necessary to detect the location, extent and duration of vegetation disturbance at a large spatial scale with an efficient method. This study contributes to develop such a method, and only the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) MOD13Q1 enhanced vegetation index (EVI) products are used to generate a continuous vegetation damage index (CVDI) for detecting severe vegetation disturbance in large areas. To verify the performance of this new index, this study takes the identification of the vegetation damage due to the Wenchuan earthquake in China occurred on 12 May 2008 as a case study. This study calculates the CVDI for the earthquake stricken areas, and delineates the regions with considerable EVI abnormal variation. The study result reveals that those delineated regions with severe vegetation damage are normally consistent with the areas with the landslides caused by the earthquake. Moreover, according to the changes of other vegetation-related MODIS datasets since 12 May 2008, this study discloses that the EVI value in most of the areas, where the vegetation was damaged due to the earthquake, has not reached to the normal value in 2012, which is 4 years after the earthquake. Finally, to validate the vegetation damage areas determined by CVDI method, the high resolution images and field survey information are used. This study confirms that CVDI method can effectively delineate large-scale terrestrial biomass disturbance due to the earthquake and can accurately identify the vegetation recovery process. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

By taking the Longxi River Basin in Dujiangyan of Sichuan Province as an example, and employing the MODIS-NDVI time-series data, this paper illustrated the dynamic changes of the vegetation cover rates in Longxi River basin before and after the"5.12"Wenchuan Earthquake by using Landsat data, and then time-space characters of the recovery rates of the damaged vegetation was quantified structurally by referring the factors of river-system and terrain. The results showed that the recovery of impaired vegetation coverage worked well from a holistic point of view, but the response of vegetation coverage to earthquake disaster showed a lagging-phenomenon. The recovery rate of damaged vegetation was significantly correlated to its distance to surrounding river systems, elevation, slope degree, and slope aspect. This finding could provide technical supports for decision-makers to intervene the recovering process after earthquake. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: Aiming at studying the ecological security in Wenchuan, China, where the ecological system had been greatly damaged by the earthquake in 2008, an evaluation indicators system was established based on the pressure–state–response (PSR) model, and the indicators were derived from remote sensing images, meteorological data, and statistical data. Ecological security indexes in 2007, 2008, and 2013 were calculated through a comprehensive index method. Then the spatio-temporal analysis on ecological security was conducted. Particularly, the changes of ecological security were centrally analyzed concerning topography, land use types, vegetation coverage, as well as ecological PSR. It is found that the ecological security in Wenchuan presented a distinct vertical-belt distribution. It was damaged by the earthquake, however, it had been improved obviously by 2013, which still did not reach the level in 2007. Meanwhile, the epicentre, the Minjiang River and the southwestern mountains have typically regional characteristics, where the changes of ecological security were analyzed elaborately. The ecological security of these regions had been differently restored compared with 2007. However, there were still some regions with unsafe ecological security. Finally, the studied area was divided into four regions with different protection strategies and some recommendations were provided for further ecological protection. © 2015 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

ABSTRACT: Massive geological landslides and unstable landslide areas were triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. These landslides caused deaths, damaged infrastructure and threatened endanger species. This study analyzed the impact of landslides on giant pandas and their habitats from the following aspects: threatening pandas’ lives, damaging pandas’ habitat, influencing giant panda behavior, increasing habitat fragmentation; the final aspect, and blocking gene flow by cutting off corridors. A habitat suitability map was created by integrating the landslide factors with other traditional factors based on a logistics regression method. According to the landslide inventory map, there are 1313 landslides, 818 rock debris flows, 117 rock avalanches and 43 mud flows occurred in the study area. A correlation analysis indicated that landslides caused the pandas to migrate, and the core landslides within 1 km2 had greater influence on panda migration. These core landslides primarily occurred in mid-altitude regions characterized by high slopes, old geological ages, large areas and large rock mass volumes. The habitat suitability assessment results for the Wolong Natural Reserve had better prediction performance (80.9%) and demonstrated that 14.5%, 15.9%, 20.5%, 47.6% and 1.5% of the study area can be classified as very high, high, moderate, low and very low giant panda suitability areas, respectively. This study can be used to inform panda and panda habitat research, management and protection during post-quake reconstruction and recovery periods in China. © 2016, Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: This paper is an attempt to rethink the concept of ‘cultural heritage’ in general and ‘living heritage’ in particular as applied by the conservation community, for example by the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (http://www.iccrom.org/priority-areas/living-heritage/).The arguments are informed by my investigation into the reconstruction of the heritage village of Taoping, damaged in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In reviewing the evolution of theories conceptualizing heritage and its conservation, the inherent links to the ontology of modernity become apparent, and carry consequences particularly for heritage settlement conservation. Whereas rural settlements emerged from a long-term communication between nature and people, in today's rural settlements this relationship is skewed by the inhabitants' own drive towards modernization. We see a confrontation between the modernity-grounded heritage conservation and the likewise grounded modernization of the rural settlements. Modernity generated two contesting, even contradictory, movements: (1) generating the concept of (rural) heritage and heritage conservation intrinsically resting on habitation, and (2) the practice of modernization as performed by the inhabitants. The concept of ‘living heritage’ cannot interpret this dualism, as the initial (conservation-worthy) relationship between land and people no longer exists. The appropriate term would be ‘lived-in cultural heritage’, as becomes apparent in reconstructing a rural heritage settlement, a process that is complex, where the attitude of the community is volatile, and results of the reconstruction are uncertain.

ABSTRACT: For 5 years (2009–2013) after the 2008 Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, rainfall led to the transformation of unconsolidated co-seismic deposits into extensive and severe debris flows, causing significant loss of life and property. For debris flows in the earthquakedisturbed area, a few common concerns exist. What is their spatial-temporal distribution? What are the controlling factors? How much is the rainfall threshold for debris flows? What areas are more susceptible? Where suffered the most severe losses of life and property? Using debris flow characteristics, this study analyzes the relationships between seismic geological factors, geomorphologic factors, extreme rainfall, and debris flows in the 5 years following the earthquake, and draws the following conclusions. (1) There are regional differences in the rainfall threshold for generation of debris flows, and the annual maximum 72- hour accumulated rainfall for triggering a debris flow decreases from pre-seismic periods (135–325 mm) to post-seismic periods (75–160 mm) by 44.4–50.8% in study area. (2) Areas with high debris flow susceptibility and hazard are primarily controlled by seismic geological conditions. (3) The long-term risk of debris flows will fall to moderate, and the affected area will shrink to that around the seismogenic fault. The results of this study will help with meteorological early warning systems, deployment of disaster prevention and control projects, and reconstruction site selection in the post-seismic LongmenMountain area. © 2016, Fuji Technology Press.

ABSTRACT: The Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake that occurred on 12 May 2008 in southwestern China and triggered numerous landslides is one of the stronger ones in the steep eastern margins of the Tibetan Plateau. The surfaces of these landslides have recovered gradually with vegetation, which provide useful information about the evolution of geologic environment as well as the long-term assessment of landslides after earthquake. The Mianyuanhe watershed shows many co-seismic landslides. The active fault passing through its center is selected as a study area aiming to analyze the annual surface recovery rate (SRR) of landslides by interpretation of remote-sensing images in five periods from 2008 to 2013. The results are here described. (1) Although a large amount of loose deposits were transformed into debris flows, the surfaces of the landslides recovered rapidly with vegetation and almost no landslides occurred at new sites after the Wenchuan earthquake. In the year 2008, the exposed surface projected area (ESPA) of the landslides showed a total area of 56.3 km2 and covered 28.9 % of the study area, which was reduced rapidly to 19.1 % in 2011 and 15.8 % in 2013. (2) The study area was divided into four geologic units, including clastic rocks, melange zone, carbonate rocks, and magmatic rocks. Smaller ESPAs and higher SRRs were found in the former two units versus the latter ones. (3) A single large landslide shows an SRR lower than a group of smaller ones having an equal total surface, while the SRRs of debris flows are lower than those of rockfalls and landslides. (4) The vegetation cover would return to the pre-earthquake level in 2020 approximately, which indicates that the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake on landslides and debris-flows activities would cease almost completely. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: The seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake has remained in suspensed until now. Several faults or tectonics, including basal slipping zone, unknown blind thrust fault and piedmont buried fault, etc, are all considered as the possible seismogenic structure. This paper tries to make some new insights into this unsolved problem. Firstly, based on the data collected from the dynamic seismic stations located on the southern segment of the Longmenshan fault deployed by the Institute of Earthquake Science from 2008 to 2009 and the result of the aftershock relocation and the location of the known faults on the surface, we analyze and interpret the deep structures. Secondly, based on the terrace deformation across the main earthquake zone obtained from the dirrerential GPS meaturement of topography along the Qingyijiang River, combining with the geological interpretation of the high resolution remote sensing image and the regional geological data, we analyze the surface tectonic deformation. Furthermore, we combined the data of the deep structure and the surface deformation above to construct tectonic deformation model and research the seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake. Preliminarily, we think that the deformation model of the Lushan earthquake is different from that of the northern thrust segment ruptured in the Wenchuan earthquake due to the dip angle of the fault plane. On the southern segment, the main deformation is the compression of the footwall due to the nearly vertical fault plane of the frontal fault, and the new active thrust faults formed in the footwall. While on the northern segment, the main deformation is the thrusting of the hanging wall due to the less steep fault plane of the central fault. An active anticline formed on the hanging wall of the new active thrust fault, and the terrace surface on this anticline have deformed evidently since the Quaterary, and the latest activity of this anticline caused the Lushan earthquake, so the newly formed active thrust fault is probably the seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake. Huge displacement or tectonic deformation has been accumulated on the fault segment curved towards southeast from the Daxi country to the Taiping town during a long time, and the release of the strain and the tectonic movement all concentrate on this fault segment. The Lushan earthquake is just one event during the whole process of tectonic evolution, and the newly formed active thrust faults in the footwall may still cause similar earthquake in the future. © 2016, Editorial Office of Seismology and Geology.

ABSTRACT: During post-earthquake reconstruction, bridges and other key infrastructures should be quickly repaired or reconstructed for travel demand. During construction, integrated structural system of a bridge has not formed yet and aftershocks occurred at a high frequency in a short time, which would threaten the security of the structures. By the statistical results of aftershock occurrence in the early stage after the main shock, the current study regressed the probabilistic model of aftershock occurrence, which is based on the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), and proposed a fragility index in the process of the bridge construction and considered the calculation model of fragility in construction process. Take Wenchuan earthquake as an example. By analyzing the fragility of high piers in a mountainous area during the whole construction, it is shown that cracking damage easily occurs during the bridge construction in aftershock area and can affect the durability of the structure. Therefore, it is necessary to make a special assessment on the risk of earthquake damage to bridges under construction after strong shocks. © 2016, Engineering Mechanics Press. All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: Sudden large-scale geological disasters can be triggered in mountainous areas by events such as earthquakes, rainfall, volcanic eruptions, or human activity, leading to serious loss of life and property. Generating digital elevation model (DEM) for such geological disasters allows the rapid identification of affected areas, which is essential for emergency response and hazard mitigation. The main aim of this study is to propose a low-cost and efficient method based on virtual earth to generate a three-dimensional (3D) DEM. Based on the terrain model, numerical simulations can be conducted and the results integrated with virtual earth to perform 3D visualization and visual analysis. The method proposed in this study may solve some limitations existing in other more traditional methods. For example, historical topographic maps exist mostly in paper format, which is not conducive to spatial analysis, while interpretation of remote-sensing images generally requires professional knowledge at a high cost. The emergence of the virtual earth platform of Google Earth (GE) provides new possibilities for generating terrain models. Terrain information can be extracted efficiently and freely from GE using an application programming interface (API) and then used to generate DEM. In this paper, the Donghekou landslide-debris flow triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was selected as a case study. 3D visualization of the temporal-spatial dynamic process of a natural disaster was carried out by combination of the numerical results and GE imaging. The comparison of the study case with field survey data proves the validity of the proposed method as it describes the real terrain shape and determines the slide distance accurately, although the elevation error may be large. The free and easy-to-use method proposed here can provide an intuitive basis for hazard assessment and rapid responses to geological disasters. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Based on the previously research, the research group of Key Laboratory of Continental Tectonics and Dynamics has achieved lots of great progress in the study of the continental dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau, especially in the evolution of Tethys and the growth of the Tibetan Plateau during the past decade. These achievements can be summarized as follows: (1) The Hypothesis on Tibetan Plateau as a orogenic plateau was proposed; (2) the reconstruction of the tectonic framework and the Tibetan-Tethys system; (3) the discovery of in situ diamond and deep mantle-derived mineral group in the ophiolites distributed along the Neotethyan suture zone; (4) the understanding of the subduction mechanism of the Neotethy oceanic basins; (5) the role of magmatism formed in the early stage of the Indo-Asian collision for the exhumation of Himalaya; (6) the establishment of the 3D models of the collisional orogeny and exhumation of the Himalaya; (7) the new proposal on the extrusion of the SE Tibetan Plateau: 'crustal bending and decouple'; (8) the subduction-related, collision-related and continental gneiss domes with Tibetan Plateau; (9) the tectonic setting and the Wenchuan Earthquake mechanism on the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau; (10) Numerical modeling of the Indo-Asian collisional process. This paper aims to communicate with and stimulate interest among global geologists to make further development in the continental dynamics of the Tibetan Plateau.

ABSTRACT: The catastrophic Magnitude 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake in China on May 12, 2008 and subsequent recovery presents a unique case of large-scale housing recovery. Housing recovery is arguably the most important aspect of post-disaster recovery (Zhang and Peacock 2010; Peacock et al. 2015). Housing is not only the shelter and primary investment of most residents; it is also a critical component of the local economy and social fabric (Comerio 1998; Campanella 2006). Housing recovery in particular is different from development under normal conditions (Inam 2005; Berke and Campanella 2006; Olshansky and Chang 2009). It can be best characterized as a “compression of development activities in time and in a limited space” (Olshansky et al. 2012, p. 173) which stated simply, means that planning and development happen at a much faster pace and at a much higher level of intensity during disaster recovery. However, swift action can often come at the cost of effectiveness and equity. Therefore, recovery planning also requires careful deliberation, which is usually accomplished by adopting a participatory approach to ensure that recovery decisions capture the diversity of local needs and that they incorporate invaluable local resources and knowledge. © 2017 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

ABSTRACT: This article examines the way culture is imagined and materialized over the course of statesponsored community reconstruction programs in Sichuan Province, China, in the aftermath of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. Using evidence collected during a 15-month ethnographic project, we make the case that “culturally sensitive” community reconstruction programs served as a mechanism through which state institutions articulated hegemonic ideas about the qualities and nature of Chinese ethnic minority groups. We also argue that these reconstruction programs served as a spectacle for reasserting the legitimacy of a centralized paternalistic state whose national development programs are implicated in greenhouse gas emission-related climate change and the earthquake disaster itself. Consequently, “culturally sensitive” community reconstruction initiatives have operated as a form of power that perpetuates the disaster as historical-political-ecological process rather than mitigating it. © 2017 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, civil society organisations in China have increasingly taken entrepreneurial and innovative approaches to enhance their ability to fulfil social missions. How are we to delineate the salient characteristics of non-profits engaging in socially entrepreneurial activities in comparison with their conventional counterparts? Will the emergence of social entrepreneurship in China's non-profit sector engender new opportunities for grassroots social organisations to overcome the financial and institutional impediments constraining their development? This article tackles these issues through an in-depth case study of a typical social entrepreneurship initiative launched in the process of post-disaster construction after the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. The findings indicate that socially entrepreneurial non-profits participate in post-disaster reconstruction more innovatively than conventional non-profits in various ways. Nevertheless, they still need to conquer organisational and contextual challenges before evolving into an effective remedy to the development pains of grassroots social organisations in China.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, generated a significant amount of loose solid material that can produce devastating debris flows. In the five years since the earthquake, there have been many large-scale individual and group catastrophic debris flows that have caused lots of damage to the resettled population and the reconstruction efforts. The reconstructed towns of Yingxiu, Yinxing and Miansi have suffered debris flows and other secondary disasters in the past five years and are still not out of danger in the future. A debris-flow catastrophic event hit four towns of Wenchuan County along the Duwen Highway, part of China’s National Highway 213, at midnight on July 10, 2013, following a local extreme rainfall of 176.2mm 24h-1. The debris flows occurred simultaneously along seven gullies. A total of 15000 people were affected due to the destruction of resettlement areas, factories, power stations, and houses. Because of this devastating event, traffic along the Duwen highway was completely disrupted during the disaster and recovery period. The present study focuses on the Lianshan Bridge debris flow gully; the disaster characteristics and cause of the debris flow were analyzed based on field investigations, remote sensing interpretation, and laboratory experiments. The particular dynamic parameters of the debris flow were calculated and analyzed including density, velocity, discharge, total volume and impact force. Also, the dynamic processes and changes that occurred in the debris flow were examined, and the block and burst characteristics of debris flow were studied based on statistical calculation and analysis dynamic characteristic parameters of debris flow. Finally, a program to prevent further debris flow was proposed according to the on-site investigation and based on the analysis of the features and dynamic processes of the debris flow. © 2016, Earth Sciences Research Journal.

ABSTRACT: Achieving sustainable development is a major challenge for a post-disaster community. This paper studies development issues in a post-disaster community from a systemic perspective and discusses the reconstruction requirements for a sustainable, resilient, low-carbon community. A meta-synthesis approach to low-carbon reconstruction is proposed, which has three integrated components; systems thinking, a systemic framework and intervention strategies. Using this approach, the community capital decreased in the disaster is able to achieve sustainable development leading to the development of a low-carbon, well organized community. Empirical research from the Guangyuan case study in post-Wenchuan earthquake is presented. The results from this research verify the effectiveness of a low-carbon reconstruction approach for post-disaster communities in an under-developed region. © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster recovery plans and policies can be better made after understanding which households are in the greatest need of help and support in post-disaster life recovery. In this study, we analyzed influencing factors of households with a disadvantaged status of life recovery, which could then be used as indicators for detecting households in urgent need of help at the beginning of post-disaster recovery. Based on life recovery field survey data from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, we found 81 disadvantaged households, identified by the fact that they lagged behind in the post-earthquake life recovery process. Using logit regression, we analyzed the influencing factors of disadvantaged households that may distinguish them from more prosperous ones. The results showed that the lower economic status, longer duration of unemployment, loss of loved ones and the less education are the significant influencing factors of disadvantaged households. Therefore, the poor and unemployed households who are less educated and suffered the trauma of losing loved ones should be made a priority in post-disaster recovery planning and policy making in consideration of their disadvantaged status in life recovery. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

ABSTRACT: Over the past geological and historical period, tens of thousands of landslides occurred in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, an area which is characterized by alpine valleys and has been densely populated over the past several hundreds of years. Discussing the triggering factor of these landslides is of great significance to geological hazard mitigation and prevention in this region. In this paper, we focus on four aspects of regional rainfall, shape features of landslide slopes, the corresponding relationship between landslide area and earthquake magnitude, and the recurring features of the reconstructed palaeoearthquake record at Diexi. Compared with those in Nepal, both mean seasonal rainfall accumulation and mean daily rainfall for the past 30 years are too low to reach the threshold values triggering landslides in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. Secondly, landslides in the study area are usually absent of inner gorges(canyon topography)on the hillslope toes, which are confirmed in previous studies as typical features of landslides triggered by storms. Thirdly, wide distribution of the landslides in the study area supports our notion of earthquake-triggering because the landslides triggered by storms commonly distribute locally. Fourthly, periodicity analysis of the reconstructed palaeoearthquake record at Diexi provides a few cycles of twenty to thirty years, possibly corresponding to the earthquakes of magnitudes>5.0 or 5.5 which are believed to have caused soft-sediment deformation in the study area. In contrast, like the 2008 M<inf>S</inf>8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, the average recurrence interval of the large earthquakes in the study area is 2.6 ka. They caused tens of thousands of landslides and provided more coarse silt particles for the nearby lake sediments at least in 330 years for each time. This is consistent with exponential increase of earthquake magnitude from large to medium and of the landslide area with the increased earthquake magnitude. To sum up, we suggest that tens of thousands of landslides in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River were most likely triggered by earthquakes instead of storms. This preliminary viewpoint needs further examination in the future. © 2015, Editorial Office of Seismology and Geology. All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: Post-earthquake debris flows that have occurred in Sichuan Province in southwestern China following the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, have caused significant damage and casualties. Previous earthquake-induced landslides produced large amounts of loose material that remained on the steep slopes and in the gullies. As a consequence of heavy rainstorms during the rainy seasons, the existing loose material was transformed into numerous debris flows. Research has shown that the debris flows in the Wenchuan earthquake disaster areas have been characterized by their large scale, high speed, long run-out, and destructive impact. In order to identify the areas potentially at risk and to predict the flow severity, an accurate numerical method is needed to simulate these debris flows. In this paper, we have proposed a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) modeling technique—a meshfree particle method—to simulate the post-earthquake debris flows in the Wenchuan earthquake disaster areas. The SPH modeling technique introduces a Bingham model to analyze the relationship between material stress rates and particle motion velocity. Compared to traditional numerical methods, the SPH modeling technique is a true meshfree method of a pure Lagrangian nature. It can instantaneously track the motion of each particle, accurately predict the velocity, and naturally handle problems with extremely large deformations. In addition, the SPH method is based on continuum mechanics, and is therefore an efficient method to simulate large-scale debris flows. In this work, first, a viscoplastic fluid was simulated and verified with experimental results in order to evaluate the accuracy of the SPH model. Then propagation analysis of two typical post-earthquake debris flows in earthquake-hit areas was carried out, applying the SPH model. The simulation results showed good agreement with the limited field observation data. Our proposed SPH numerical modeling is able to capture the fundamental dynamic behavior of post-earthquake debris flows and can partially explain these complex phenomena. These simulation results can provide a preliminary scientific basis for hazard assessment and site selection for reconstruction in earthquake-prone areas. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In the 21st century, the 2008 Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 Ms 7.0 Lushan earthquake occurred in Sichuan Province, southwestern China. These two powerful earthquakes caused huge property loss and numerous human casualties. The frequent occurrence of geological hazards (including landslides and debris flows) has brought great challenges to disaster prevention and reconstruction work in earthquake-prone areas. Combing the research method of field investigations with visual interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing images, this study investigates areas with a seismic intensity ≥VII. In the study, a systematic analysis is conducted to clarify the distribution characteristics of geological hazards in the Lushan and Wenchuan earthquake-prone areas based on statistics released by the Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Water Resource, Ministry of Construction of China, and other related departments. Such a clarification was done through GIS technology with varied factor combinations. Hopefully, comparative analysis on the distribution characteristics of mountain disasters in Lushan and Wenchuan leads to determination of distribution similarities and differences in areas with a seismic intensity ≥VII. The study concludes, in a systematic manner, distribution characteristics under distinctive geomorphic conditions, geological structures, and other conditions in the study area; thus can serve as a reference for disaster prevention and demographic readjustment in areas with similar conditions, promoting harmonious development of humans and nature there. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Rainfall type's debris flow is the main kind of disaster which impacts past-earthquake reconstruction and sustainable development of Wenchuan earthquake disaster area and has caused huge losses of life and property. Taking the Baisha River as an example, the critical daily rainfall and hour rainfall intensity after the earthquake reduced by 36.0%-48.8% and 20.3%-52.2%, respectively, compared to those before the earthquake. Then forecast of debris in five kinds of combinations of rainfall data were analyzed based on Logistic regression model. Forecast levels of debris flow were established based on daily rainfall which is passessed of a close connection with weather forecast of the meteorological department. It has a significance for forecast of debris flow and disaster prevention and mitigation after earthquake.

ABSTRACT: Frequent catastrophic earthquakes have highlighted the significance of postearthquake recovery and reconstruction (PERR) planning, a dynamic and inclusive process which encourages the building of more resilient communities. This paper aims to provide some meaningful lessons for quake-prone countries through a review, comparison, and discussion of PERR planning success and failure factors in the 1994 Northridge earthquake in the United States, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan, the 2003 Bam earthquake in Iran, and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. The authors then provide some guidance for PERR planning in key areas such as formulating predisaster planning, enabling participatory planning, capacity building for public involvement, schedule control, process coordination, developing catastrophe insurance, protecting vulnerable groups, and assessing plan quality. Further in-depth studies could be done to conduct broader crossnational comparisons on some important specific aspects, such as predisaster planning, participatory planning, and plan implementation. © 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: Many debris flows have occurred in the areas surrounding the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake. Susceptibility assessment of debris flows in this area is especially important for disaster prevention and mitigation. This paper studies one of the worst hit areas, the Subao river valley, and the susceptibility assessment of debris flows is performed based on field surveys and remote sensing interpretation. By investigating the formation conditions of debris flows in the valley, the following assessment factors are selected: mixture density of landslides and rock avalanches, distance to the seismogenic fault, stratum lithology, ground roughness, and hillside angle. The weights of the assessment factors are determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Each of the assessment factors is further divided into five grades. Then, the assessment model is built using the multifactor superposition method to assess the debris flow susceptibility. Based on the assessment results, the Subao river valley is divided into three areas: high susceptibility areas, medium susceptibility areas, and low susceptibility areas. The high susceptibility areas are concentrated in the middle of the valley, accounting for 17.6% of the valley area. The medium susceptibility areas are in the middle and lower reaches, most of which are located on both sides of the high susceptibility areas and account for 45.3% of the valley area. The remainders are classified as low susceptibility areas. The results of the model are in accordance with the actual debris flow events that occurred after the earthquake in the valley, confirming that the proposed model is capable of assessing the debris flow susceptibility. The results can also provide guidance for reconstruction planning and debris flow prevention in the Subao river valley. © 2015 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

ABSTRACT: Mega-disasters appeared in the twenty-first century highlighted the importance of strengthening local disaster management capabilities to cope with risks more effectively. Despite the occurrence of Wenchuan (2008) and Lushan (2013) earthquakes, local capacities in managing disaster in China remained largely unexplored. Given the scant empirical attention given to township level, we focus our study on assessing the disaster management capacities through seven indicators in the affected townships of Wenchuan (2008) and Lushan (2013). After interviewing 32 townships executives, the finding suggests that although substantial progress has been achieved in strengthening the overall disaster management capacity in townships by 2013, pronounced challenges remained. We argue that the restrained disaster management capacity in Chinese townships was attributed to three factors. First, the top-down institutional framework has limited the autonomy of township governments from ensuring disaster-related policy to be executed effectively as it induced a shortage of funds and undermined incentives for officials to enforce policies. Second, the failure of township governments to pursue external collaboration with local and social organizations has impeded the mainstreaming of key disaster management components into local level. Finally, national development strategies, and the by-product of rapid urbanization processes, have caused the lack of human resources that prevented effective mechanisms of disaster preparedness and responses as well as post-disaster reconstruction from developing. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

ABSTRACT: The May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake was a national trauma in China. The reconstruction provided the Party with an opportunity to display its care for the disaster victims and restore the Party's shaken credibility and socialist legitimacy. Despite initial collective solidarity and firm control over the state apparatus, levers of the economy, and domestic media, the Party did not manage to secure broad public approval of its reconstruction effort in the earthquake zone. This article argues that the reasons for this failure can be traced to the Party's political epistemology. The CCP's general assumptions, governmental rationalities, policy calculations, implementation strategies, and legitimating discourses organized the reconstruction. It wanted to build a model of state power and benevolence, but it did not have the proper tools.

ABSTRACT: Transport system was severely destroyed during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, and lots of bridges, especially those near the faultage, suffered severe damage and even collapsed, which led to inefficient rescue or reconstruction following the earthquake. Geomechnical similarity model test was conducted to investigate the effect of the deformation of the site nearby the fault on the damage of the simple supported girder bridge under the lateral loading. Results showed that the failure mode of the model was highly similar to that of Gaoyuan Bridge and deformation of the site was mainly happened near to the fault due to fault movement; the girder falling partly attributed to the centralized deformation of the site nearby the fault and partly attributed to the nonproportional rigid between the upper structure and the ground site; the deformation of the ground near to the fault was amplified by the fault movement during earthquake. ©, 2015, Editorial Department of Journal of Sichuan University.

ABSTRACT: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of public goods provision in Wenchuan earthquake-stricken rural areas. The study was undertaken in August and September 2012 by the field survey of 24 villages. Design/methodology/approach – This paper, by applying the methods of analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, aims to evaluate the efficiency by means of villagers’ satisfaction, which is designed in the idea of combining overall goal-classifications and specific indicators, including 7 classifications and a total of 36 specific indicators. Findings – Based on maximum membership principle by the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the calculation results in 0.4485862 as a “general” level of the evaluation membership of efficiency in the post-quake public goods provision, and 3.0634837 as overall comprehensive score, a level lower than 3.5. Practical implications – The efficiency by means of villagers’ evaluation is generally at a lower degree. Although the reconstruction has completed some high-quality infrastructure, schools, hospitals and houses, we still face more macroscopic and long-term problems of recovering and sustaining the post-quake communities in many fields. Originality/value – It is more worthy to consider how to improve the efficiency of the reconstruction, especially in public goods and public services provision in the quake-stricken rural areas. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: Few studies involve disaster fieldwork, not to mention fieldwork in China where disaster management has long been politicized. Drawing upon the authors' own experience with an action research project on community reconstruction after the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, this article discusses a number of challenges associated with conducting disaster fieldwork from the perspective of insider researchers. While the action research approach facilitated access to the field and benefited data collection, it created barriers such as research biases, role conflicts, and ethical dilemmas. This article particularly explores ethical concerns of conducting action research in the absence of independent review institutions. © 2015 Policy Studies Organization.

ABSTRACT: Six years after the devastating M<inf>s</inf> 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, new landslides, debris flows, and flash floods still occur frequently in the earthquake-stricken regions. This shows that the geological hazards that occur after a major earthquake in a mountainous environment can be a long-term threat. However, post-earthquake reconstruction and relocation of local residents often neglect this evolving threat, and its interaction with existing and rebuilt houses has not been well studied. Here we show that the evolving mountain environment, including the changed geographic distribution of new landslides and the continuously uplifting riverbed, creates emerging risks for existing and rebuilt houses. We use spatial analysis of landslide debris and the location of houses from high-resolution images and field survey in the study area and find that new landslides and the houses rebuilt after the Wenchuan earthquake have a similar trend of moving to lower elevations, gentler slopes, and closer to rivers. This study confirms that the persistent downward movement of landslide debris has rapidly filled up riverbeds over the past 6 years. The elevated riverbeds make the study area extremely susceptible to flash floods, creating further risks to newly rebuilt houses that are closer to the river. We highlight the often neglected dynamic process that involves changes in the natural environment and man-made constructions and their interaction. This dynamic process requires long-term monitoring and adaptive management of mountainous regions after major earthquakes that can fully consider the sophisticated evolving risks caused by the changing environment, exposure, and vulnerability in the region. © 2015 Author(s).

ABSTRACT: The number of communities affected by disasters has been rising. As a result, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that attend community post-disaster reconstruction are often unable to deliver all requirements and have to develop cooperative approaches. However, this collaboration can cause problems because of the complex environments, the fight for limited resources and uncoordinated management, all of which result in poor service delivery to the communities, adding to their woes. From extensive field research and case studies conducted in the post-Wenchuan earthquake-stricken communities, this paper introduces an integrated collaboration framework for community post-disaster reconstruction with the focus on three types of NGOs: international, government organised and civil. The proposed collaboration framework examines the three interrelated components of organisational structure, operational processes and reconstruction goals/implementation areas. Of great significance in better promoting collaborative participation between NGOs are the crucial concepts of participatory reconstruction, double-layer collaborative networks, and circular review and revision. © Overseas Development Institute, 2015.

ABSTRACT: Debris flows occur more frequently in the earthquake zone after “5·12” Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, meanwhile, the perniciousness of debris flow grows as geometric progression, and the accumulation characteristics of debris flow directly respond the harm degree. On August 13, 2010, a large-scale group-occurring debris flow disasters broke out in more than 50 gullies of Longchi area, Dujiangyan city, destroyed the buildings and roads in earthquake reconstruction area. Statistical relationship between deposits features, such as deposits thickness, deposits width, run out distance and diffusion rate, and drainage basin characteristics as dynamic accumulation, drainage basins elevation and outlet width of gully, has been established according to field observation of fan characteristics as deposits thickness, deposits width, run out distance, deposits gradient of 36 debris flow gullies in the study area. On this basis, a geometric statistical model of debris flow fan was established by the characteristics of fan accumulation characteristics. The practicality of the statistical model has been verified through typical debris flow in the earthquake region, which can provides certain reference for debris flow disaster prevention and control in the study area in the future. ©, 2015, China Water Power Press.

ABSTRACT: Disaster recovery is a special driving force for urbanisation in China, and the household registration system makes the interaction between recovery and urbanisation unique and complex. During the post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery efforts, many towns and villages altered original land-use patterns to accelerate the pace of urbanisation. This process expedited the reconstruction of infrastructure and boosted regional economic development, but also resulted in changes in household registration for farmers whose land was requisitioned, creating a new series of social problems. This study examined one town in Sichuan Province as a case study to explore perceptions of the recovery process and analyse quantitatively the relationships between economic recovery level and household characteristics during the post-disaster recovery period. Based on personal interviews and 513 valid household questionnaires, the study found that: (1) households that changed their household registration during the recovery were more dissatisfied with the recovery process and their life status; (2) the economic conditions of households whose householders were between 46 and 55 years of age deteriorated significantly, which created an emerging vulnerable population; and (3) people who work away from their hometown all year were more dissatisfied with the recovery work to date. These analyses helped us visualise the interaction between post-disaster recovery and urbanisation in China, and identify and understand the vulnerable population that emerges from this process. This study indicates that there is a strong need for more flexible policies and population group-orientated regulations in post-disaster recovery. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

ABSTRACT: This research contributes to fill the void in the knowledge of the evolution of disaster governance of Asia during urban transition, by studying the changes of disaster risk management (DRM) capacities of townships in southwestern China. These townships have particular significance in China’s urban spectrum. While a number of townships were hard hit twice by 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and 2013 Lushan Earthquake, it was a precious opportunity to examine the effect of integrating disaster governance into sustainable urbanization. The Wenchuan Reconstruction Plan had claimed the goal of building DRM capacity along the urbanization process of the post-disaster areas during the 5 years. This research finds that although with tremendous efforts, the fundamental issues of DRM remained unsettled in 2013 due to a failure of integrating the two policy systems of urbanization and disaster governance. The major contributions of this research are to link disaster governance and urbanization through DRM Capacity Framework and to put forward a new framework for forming a coalition between urbanization and disaster governance guided by governance approaches in strategic, policy, and program levels. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2016.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we developed a probability of occurrence model of landslides induced by earthquakes for the 10 counties that were worst hit by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, using the dynamics-based Newmark displacement method. The model will be a significant reference and will be able to provide guidance for emergency response, landslide warning and forecast, and relief and reconstruction work in the aftermath of future earthquakes. First, based on engineering geology groups, relevant empirical parameters, and a slope map of the counties worst hit by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the static safety factor of the shallow saturated slopes and critical accelerations were derived using space analysis in ArcGIS. Second, we collected the peak ground accelerations from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake from 32 stations in the worst hit counties. Then, we interpolated the peak ground NS and EW accelerations using the Spline interpolation method in ArcGIS and calculated the average peak ground accelerations. The distributions of the Newmark displacements in the study area were described based on the average peak ground accelerations and critical accelerations. Finally, we developed an earthquake-induced landslide probability of occurrence model by combining the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake landslide data with the Newmark displacements. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we analyzed the One Foundation’s relief and reconstruction activities after the Ya’an earthquake. The analysis shows that the participation of NGOs in disaster relief activities has undergone different stages. In the Jiujiang earthquake, NGOs’ participation was in the rudimentary stage. In the Wenchuan earthquake, they became one of the active participants. In the Ya’an earthquake, they played an active role through cooperation mechanism. That means NGOs have had the capability of resource mobilization. The cooperation with them will improve disaster management capacities. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: Approximately half of the global population resides in cities and accounts for over 80% of global carbon emissions. To improve efficiency in carbon emission reduction, and enhance adaptability of cities to climate change, it is essential to undertake accounting of urban carbon cycle. This plays a prominent role in global carbon cycle. An integrated accounting framework for urban carbon cycle was established herein to support uniform accounting and place-specific comparisons, covering natural and artificial carbon cycles, vertical and horizontal carbon flows, carbon storage and fluxes, and carbon inputs and outputs. Guangyuan, a mountainous city in China that was seriously stricken by Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, was chosen as the case to demonstrate the framework and investigate the effects of post-earthquake reconstruction on carbon cycle. The results show: 1) the proposed framework could effectively assess dynamics of carbon cycle under external disturbances, 2) there were abundant vegetation and correspondingly a large natural carbon tank and vertical carbon input, and low industrialization degree and correspondingly small horizontal and vertical carbon outputs in Guangyuan, 3) the post-earthquake reconstruction led to a series of impacts on carbon cycle, from both aspects of amount and structure, and 4) such impacts of post-earthquake construction on artificial carbon cycle were distinct with a tendency toward low-carbon development in Guangyuan. The results were helpful for investigating the effects of natural disturbance and human interference on urban carbon cycle, which in turn could improve the adaptation to climate change. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Pengzhou’s Baishui river and Bailu river basin are located in the Longmenshan central fracture and the former Mountain fault, where geological environment is very complex. Geological environment quality there was severely damaged in the “5.12” Wenchuan earthquake. In order to make sure the suitability of the geological environment quality status for human survival and development, it is necessary to evaluate the geological environment quality. Through the basic conditions of geological environment data collection and collation, use AHP method to determine the evaluation of the weights and the composite index method to divide the quality of the geological environment of the study area into four grades. Calculate the geological environment quality evaluation results of the study area in three time periods, before earthquake, after earthquake, and repair of geological disasters. The conclusion is in the Pengzhou Baishui river and Bailu river basin are of generally low-quality geological environment before the earthquake. The main factors affecting the geological environment quality is the geological structure and geological disasters; the geological environment quality on study area suffered severe damage after the earthquake. Due to the earthquake induced geological disasters in the study area and the geological environment quality in the bad level, the main factor is the earthquake-triggered geological disasters; Part of the geological environment quality is improved after repairing the geological hazards in the study area, mainly along the Baishui river and Bailu river, the main factors about the geological environment quality are the geological structure and geological disasters in repaired geological disasters time. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.

ABSTRACT: The catastrophic 8.0 Richter magnitude earthquake that occurred on 12 May 2008 in Wenchuan, China caused extensive damage to vegetation due to widespread landslides and debris flows. In the past five years, the Chinese government has implemented a series of measures to restore the vegetation in the severely afflicted area. How is the vegetation recovering? It is necessary and important to evaluate the vegetation recovery effect in earthquake-stricken areas. Based on MODIS NDVI data from 2005 to 2013, the vegetation damage area was extracted by the quantified threshold detection method. The vegetation recovery rate after five years following the earthquake was evaluated with respect to counties, altitude, fault zones, earthquake intensity, soil texture and vegetation types, and assessed over time. We have proposed a new method to obtain the threshold with vegetation damage quantitatively, and have concluded that: (1) The threshold with vegetation damage was 13.47%, and 62.09% of the field points were located in the extracted damaged area; (2) The total vegetation damage area was 475,688 ha, which accounts for 14.34% of the study area and was primarily distributed in the central fault zone, the southwest mountainous areas and along rivers in the Midwest region of the study area; (3) Vegetation recovery in the damaged area was better in the northeast regions of the study area, and in the western portion of the Wenchuan-Maoxian fracture; vegetation recovery was better with increasing altitude; there is no obvious relationship between clay content in the topsoil and vegetation recovery; (4) Meadows recovered best and the worst recovery was in mixed coniferous broad-leaved forest; (5) 81,338 ha of vegetation in the damage area is currently undergoing degradation and the main vegetation types in the degradation area are coniferous forest (31.39%) and scrub (34.17%); (6) From 2009 to 2013, 41% has been restored to the level before the earthquake, 9% has not returned but 50% will continue to recover. The Chinese government usually requires five years as a period for post-disaster reconstruction. This paper could be regarded as a guidance for Chinese government departments, whereby additional investment is encouraged for vegetation recovery. © 2015 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake is the strongest destructively and has the largest sweep region in China since 1949. The disaster area has exceeded 10,000 square kilometers. Earthquake intensity of Wenchuan earthquake exceeded Tangshan earthquake of 1976. Wenchuan earthquake has caused hundred thousands of casualties. The earthquake brings us not only injury but also consideration on traffic lifeline and engineering. Against the after-earthquake recovery reconstruction of Dujiangyan-wenchuan highway, failure characteristic of traffic infrastructure is studied further by means of analysis of pre and post earthquake traffic engineering. The main reasons of earthquake hazards of traffic engineering caused by earthquake are analyzed in detail. Finally, the author presents reconstruction countermeasures of traffic lifeline after earthquake. © 2015 ejge.

ABSTRACT: 4.20 Lushan earthquake in 2013 is another major natural disaster happened in Sichuan, China after 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. The practical experience gained during the earthquake relief and post-earthquake reconstruction would have profound influence on China’s model of earthquake management, postearthquake reconstruction and even social governance in 21st century. The present paper is based on personal experience during 4.20 Lushan earthquake reconstruction from an overall perspective.With a detailed systemization of all practical experience gained through government-leading post-disaster rescue and reconstruction work, the Lushan post-earthquake social reconstruction with a connotation of “resource coordination platform as the carrier, social organization cultivation the foundation, social service provision the method” has been brought up. The new post-earthquake social reconstruction operationmodel of “government leading, government and society coordinating, rescue in order, mutual support” has also been put forward. Effort has also been done in the analysis of the intrinsic operationmechanism of the previous model to reconstruct China’s disaster and crisis management model, hoping to provide practical evidence for China’s regular social governance operation mechanism. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015.

There were several debris flow events in these mountainous river basins after 2008. Currently, these damaged vegetation areas are in various stages of recovery. This recovery vegetation improves the resistance of slopes to both surficial erosion and mass wasting. We introduce a probabilistic approach to determining the relationships between damaged vegetation and slope materials' stability, and model the sediment and flow (hydrological) connectivity index to detect the hydrological changes in a given river basin, using the multi-temporal (1994-2014) remote-sensing images to monitor the vegetation recovery processes. Our results demonstrated that the earthquake-damaged vegetation areas have coupling relationships with topographic environment and slope material properties, and can be used to assess the slope material stability. Further, our analysis results showed that the areas with horizontal distance to river streams < 500 m are areas that actively contribute sediment to the stream channel network, and are main material sources for debris flow processes in one given mountainous basin. © 2015 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake induced landslides that destroyed large swaths of mountain vegetation. Presently, the damaged vegetation areas are exhibiting various stages of recovery depending on environments. A spatial analysis of earthquake-damaged and recovered vegetation can provide useful information for understanding landslide processes. The mountainous watersheds of the Minjiang River Upstream, near Yinxiu Town (one of the highest seismic intensity zones during the Wenchuan earthquake) were selected. A DSAL (digital elevation model (DEM), slope, aspect and lithology) spatial zonation method was established to detect natural features of the vegetation survival environments, and damaged and recovered vegetation areas were extracted using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) changes form multi-temporal (2001-2014) Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper/Operational Land Imager (TM/ETM/OLI) images. Statistical results show that the vegetation growth was mainly controlled by its survival environments, and vegetation has coupling relations with slope stability. Then, the slope stability model was developed through multivariate analysis of earthquake-damaged vegetation and its controlling factors (i.e., topographic environments and material properties). Application to the Mianyuan River and Subao River basins validated the proposed model, showing that monitoring the vegetation (using the remote sensing images) can be used to assess the slope stability, and model results show what vegetative conditions with its survival environments are susceptible to landslide processes, although the predicted values may be higher than the actual values in the most mountainous basins. Our modeling approach may also be valuable for use in other regions prone to landslide hazards. © 2015 by the authors.

ABSTRACT: The distribution of hazards triggered by strong earthquakes showed great differences with traditional experience that gained from normal condition or moderate earthquake. This paper describes the differences and discusses the effect on road in V-shaped valley. The distribution map of slope failures triggered by Lushan earthquake along roads is worked out by detailed investigation. Abnormal areas of seismic hazards are marked in the map. Then, co-seismic hazards and post-seismic hazards are described along Yingxiu-Wolong section of S303 road in Wenchuan earthquake. Hard rock V-shaped valleys are abnormal areas in strong earthquakes, where the geological hazards can be extreme large. Rock avalanche is the major type of co-seismic hazard, and debris flows are prone to occur and the most harmful post-seismic hazards. For new built road, the line elevation is preferred to as high as possible, if the economy and technique are acceptable. For strong earthquake-stricken area, makeshift roads are adopted in damage trunk roads to ensure the traffic. Reconstruction of formal roads shall not be started until the end of the active period. The line elevation with enough height shall be adopted to against post-seismic debris flow hazard. © 2015 ejge.

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: For implementation of specific actions to reduce risks, there is lack of a unified tool to compare different mitigation investment strategies and to prioritize alternative mitigation measures. Organizations usually address some operational risks such as business interruption (BI) losses. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are state-of-the-art economic tools to account for BI losses. This study proposed a new, improved dynamic CGE model to analyze and compare mitigation investment measures that aim at reducing BI losses. The new model, a time-recursive dynamic model reflecting the recovery and reconstruction period, connects reconstruction investment with reconstruction funds source, such as from government, household, enterprise, or outside a disaster-affected area. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China was selected as a case study to illustrate the new model. Some interesting topics about mitigation investment were analyzed: (1) the relative importance of pre-disaster reduction investment versus post-disaster reconstruction investment; (2) post-disaster economic recovery with the contribution of insurance compensation; (3) the optimal ratio between mitigation funds collected from the disaster-affected area and that collected from outside the disaster-affected area; (4) the rational division of limited mitigation funds to each year during the restoration and reconstruction period. © 2015, Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

ABSTRACT: Earthquake-induced-landslides will change the underlying surface conditions (topography, vegetation cover rate, etc.), which consequently may influence the hydrologic response and then change the flash flood risk. The Jianpinggou catchment, located in the Wenchuan earthquake (occurred in Sichuan, China, 2008) affected area, is selected as the study area. The distribution of the landslides is obtained from the remote sensing image data. The changes of topography are obtained from the comparisons among digital elevation models (DEMs) during different periods. A physical-based model, the integrated hydrology model (InHM), is used to simulate the hydrologic response before and after the landslide. The influence of the underlying surface conditions is then discussed based on the simulation results. The results reveal that landslides cause significant effects on the hydrologic response, and the impact is proportional to the proportion of surface flow in the total runoff. The effect of landslides on the runoff is insignificant at the outlet, but obvious in the local area. The larger the rainfall, the more visible the impact, and the impact of landslides will increase rapidly at the threshold of the runoff (the total rainfall of 235 mm in 6 h in the study area), but there is a limit with the further enlarged rainfall. The improved understanding of the impact of landslides on the hydrologic response provides valuable theoretical support for storm flood forecasting. © 2015, Zhejiang University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Over 240 debris flows occurred in hill-slopes, gullies ( indicated those with single-channel) and watersheds (indicated those with tributaries and channels) on July 10th 2013 in the Wenchuan county, and caused 29 casualties and about 633×106 USD losses. This work aimed to analyze characteristics, hazards and causes of these events and explore mitigating measures based on field investigation and remote sensing images interpretation. The debris flows contained clay content of 0.1%∼3.56%, having densities of 1.72∼2.14 t/m3, velocities of 5.0∼12.7 m/s, discharges of 335∼2353 m3/s and sediment yields of 0.10∼1.26×106 m3, and also numerously occurred in large watersheds with the area over 10 km2. Large debris flows formed 3 hazard-chains in slopes, gullies, watersheds and rivers, which all evolved in dammed lakes and outburst flood, and 26 dammed lakes and 10 newly ones were generated along the rivers of Min and Yuzi. The remarkable spatial difference of loose solid materials accumulation and intense rainfall, with the cumulative of about or more than 150 mm and the hourly of over 16mm, caused debris flows in the sections from Yingxiu to Miansi and Gengda. The damages on buildings, reconstructions, highways, factories and hydro power station originated from the impacting, scouring, burying of debris flows, the submerging of dammed lake and the scouring of outburst flood, and the huge losses came from the ruinous destructions of control engineering works of debris flows as well as the irrational location and low-resistant capabilities of reconstructions. For hazards mitigating of debris flows in long term, the feasible measures for short term, including risk-reassessing of foregone and potential hazard sites, regional alarming system establishing and integrated control in disastrous sites, and middle-long term, including improving reconstruction standard, rationally disposing river channel bed rise and selecting appropriate reconstruction time and plans, were strongly suggested. © 2015, Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: A strong earthquake like the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12th, 2008 in China could cause huge losses in human lives and properties damages in a short time. Reconstruction projects have been carried out after the earthquake with varying degrees of success. This paper deals with a couple of issues arising after the Wenchuan earthquake from which certain lessons can be drawn. The original seismic zoning in the earthquake area proved to be under valuated. A safe distance of the buildings from active fault zones was not respected in the mountain towns. Many villages in these mountains were not built in a safe geological environment. An anti -seismic design of the buildings was not respected enough. The amount of loose source material for debris flows after the earthquake was under estimated leading to ineffective designs of remedial works. The level of new designed roads, bridges and tunnels proved to be too low due to an under estimate of the rise of the river beds in the main valleys. Areas with a high hazard for flooding and debris flows were ignored in the planning of new built up areas.

ABSTRACT: During the five rainy seasons following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, at least eight catastrophic events of multiple debris flows occurred in the Yinchanggou area of Baishui River basin, in southwestern China. The deposits had some serious impacts on the transportation, communication, and reconstruction activities. It indicates the start of a period with a high-frequency debris flow activities. In this paper, a detailed review is made of the latest 12 debris flow events, which occurred on 18th August 2012. Field reconnaissance and measurements, supported by a remote sensing interpretation, were conducted to reveal the locations and morphological characteristics of debris flow catchments. A total volume of 50.26 million m3 co-seismic landslides, triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake, served as source materials for these debris flows and/or shallow landslides. Bedrocks, which were on the hanging wall of the Yingxiu-Beichuan Fault with a mean slope gradient larger than 30°, were the most susceptible for these seism-triggered failures. The volume of debris flow deposits on individual fans vary by many orders of magnitude from 2,900 to 223,500 m3. The huge amount of reserves of source material compared to debris flow volumes currently deposited and taking into account the relatively low morphology index values form an indication of the early stage in the development of debris flows and the immense potential for debris flow occurrence in the future. There are two patterns of debris flow initiation which can be distinguished in this study: (a) the channel initiation pattern of concentrated overland flow erosion in the channel beds and (b) the slope initiation pattern which shows the development of new landslides and a transition into debris flows during a heavy rainfall. A catastrophic debris flow in the Haihuiqiao watershed of the Yinchanggou area was selected to show in detail the mechanism of debris flow initiation as a result of intensive erosion in loose debris materials. The critical rainfall threshold in terms of daily precipitation decreased by 77 % compared to the pre-earthquake threshold. A primary rainfall intensity–duration (ID) threshold curve was constructed for debris flows for an early-warning system and compared with other global rainfall thresholds. The discussion is focused on the initiation mechanisms of debris flows and the assessment of the critical meteorological threshold. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: The Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 triggered tens of thousands of landslides and produced large amounts of loose material. The loose material accumulated in gullies or on slopes provides abundant sources for the consequent debris flows, which will endanger resettled residents and destroy urban reconstruction. During the 5years following the Wenchuan earthquake event, heavy rainfalls have already induced a great number of debris flows in the earthquake-damaged area, resulting in serious casualties and property losses. The co-seismic landslides and the debris flows induced by rainfalls in the Mianyuan River basin are analyzed using multi-temporal remote sensing images. More than 2000 landslides were triggered and about 4.0×108m3 of loose material was generated in the Mianyuan River basin, and the volume of erodible material is 6.0×107-1.6×108m3. There were 1.27×107m3 of bed load sediments and 6.3×105m3 suspended load sediments transported into the river system in the past 5years. The active mass movements will last for a long period in the Mianyuan River basin. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 produced large amounts of loose solid material that can lead to the development of devastating debris flows. In 5years since the earthquake, large numbers of large-scale debris flows occurred and caused great damage to the resettled population and the reconstruction efforts. The reconstructed Yingxiu Town suffered debris flow and its secondary disaster in the past 5years, and will be in the risk range of debris flow hazard in the future. It is very important to predict debris flow and its secondary hazard (especially the dam-breaking flood) near the town. The debris flow of the Xiaojia Gully was described and analyzed as a typical large-scale case in the Yingxiu area. The study aimed to describe the debris flow event, investigate the sediment supply conditions, analyze the characteristics of the debris flow deposition, calculate the river-blocking parameters, and predict the damage of dam-breaking flood to Yingxiu Town under different debris flow frequencies. Debris flows in Xiaojia Gully were well developed and occurred several times, resulting in frequent interruption of traffic on the S303 road. The interpretation of satellite images showed that landslide deposition, channel deposition, and soil erosion sediment were three kinds of sediment supply types for debris flow formation. 188 sediment supply sites in total were identified in the catchment. The total area for the supply of sediment for debris flows is about 0.99km2, giving a total volume of 532.09×104m3. If the Yuzi River is blocked by debris flow material, the dam-breaking flood can cause potential damage to the newly constructed Yingxiu Town. The calculation results reveal that debris flows with a frequency of 5% and 10% are impossible to cause river-blockage, and consequently, the Yingxiu Town is safe in these situations. However, debris flows with a frequency of 1% and 2% may cause river blockage and the dam-breaking flood can cause damage to the Yingxiu Town. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Lushan earthquake is another strong earthquake along the Longmenshan fault after Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. The two earthquakes induced a number of secondary geological hazards, such as avalanches, landslides and unstable slopes. The geo-hazards in the two earthquakes have certain similarities and obvious differences because of the differences in the magnitudes, duration and geology background conditions of the two earthquakes. In this paper, the environmental background conditions, distributive development law, types and characteristics of secondary geo-hazard induced by the two earthquakes were comparatively analyzed in order to find out the development law and the evolution tendency of secondary geo-hazard induced by earthquakes along the Longmenshan fault. This may provide a reference for disaster scientific prevention and mitigation in the post-earthquake reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: The effect of natural disasters on economic growth is one of the most important research problems in economics of disasters. Based on the neoclassical growth theory, this paper explores the relationship between the natural disasters and the economic growth, expound on the effects of disasters on per capita capital, investment rate and technological progress, and the post-disaster dynamics of per capita output. Disasters could make the post-disaster economy deviate from the balanced growth path, increase or decrease the economic growth rate, but the economy will return to the balanced growth path again. This theory indicates that disasters will not affect the long-term economic growth. Recovering reconstruction investment can change the speed of economic recovery. The utilization of new materials and new technology during the recovery and reconstruction process can improve technological level of economic entity, and lead to faster growth of economy. After Wenchuan earthquake, the growth rate of the primary industry of Aba Prefecture was slightly higher than the predicted value, and higher than that of the pre-earthquake. The secondary industry strongly recovered, and the growth rate was also higher than that before the earthquake, accounting for more and more proportion in the industrial structure. The growth rate of the tertiary industry decreased rapidly. The causes of the differences in the growth rates of the three industries were also analyzed.

ABSTRACT: The Chinese government is currently endeavouring to establish a new social management system, with the participation of the government and different parties in society, among whom NGO participation in social management is considered the essential approach for social management system innovation. The post-disaster relief and reconstruction of the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 left an indelible mark in the developmental history of Chinese NGOs, and provides an opportunity for us to examine the survival condition of NGOs. For this paper, we use a qualitative research method to trace the four-year relief and reconstruction process of a severely afflicted township in Sichuan Province during the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, and examine the work of NGOs at different stages of the post-disaster operation, the role that NGOs played during the relief and reconstruction process, and the survival conditions of NGOs in China's contemporary social management pattern. By analysing the obstacles that NGOs have encountered in the participation of social management, this paper offers suggestions for the innovation of the social management system. © 2014, © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: This article examines the spatial characteristics of public service supply and the factors influencing such supply in cities of Sichuan Province, China using spatial-autocorrelation and spatial econometric models with statistical data in 2012. The results demonstrate that expenditures on different types of public services present different spatial autocorrelation patterns. Although the spatial differences in basic public service expenditures are relatively small, a clear fan-shaped spillover to the east can be seen in Chengdu City. Chengdu also shows high clustering of advanced public service expenditures, being a typical core-periphery pattern. Post-earthquake reconstruction expenditures are clustered in the “5.12 Wenchuan earthquake” region and spill over toward cities to the east. The efficiency of public services in the mountainous areas in western Sichuan is low and exhibits a pattern of low-low spatial autocorrelation. The efficiency of public service supply is affected by economic, social, political and geographical factors. Based on the results of this analysis, we recommend a supply strategy that incorporates different types of public services and a specialized public service supply strategy for mountainous areas. Overall public service efficiency should be enhanced by focusing on narrowing the gap in farmers’ income among regions and accelerating urbanization. Decision-makers should consider more supportive policies with regard to providing basic public services in mountainous areas to ensure an equalized supply of basic public services. To enhance the efficiency of advanced public service supply, additional growth pole should be encouraged and incentivized; however, investments are required to drive the development of the peripheral regions through regional economic integration. Both software and hardware types of infrastructure are required to supply services efficiently during post-disaster reconstruction. © 2014, Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the frequent worldwide occurrence of huge earthquakes makes serious influences on normal human life and the rapid development of the global economy. How to quickly and efficiently implement the recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas after the devastative earthquakes has become a popular research topic of post-earthquake reconstruction decision-makers and related academic researchers. In this paper, the authors used the observation data and materials of Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and great east Japan earthquake and tsunami, which were gotten from " Pre-Recovery Planning From Natural Disasters" seminar in Japan in 2013 to summarize the characteristics and status of the two earthquakes recovery and reconstruction. Comparing the relevant data and cases of Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction, the authors analyzed advantages and disadvantages of China and Japan in disaster restoration and reconstruction. In the end of the paper, the authors propose some new methods and ideas for the future earthquake recovery and reconstruction work in China. This paper has certain theoretical and practical significance for understanding the characteristics of the Chinese and Japanese earthquake recovery and reconstruction work, and how to improve the existing restoration program and promoting the efficiency of reconstruction services.

ABSTRACT: In the aftermath of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, government officials, scholars and outside observers eagerly hoped that the emergency relief and reconstruction process would bring about the emergence of civil society and increase grassroots democratic participation. Contrary to this optimistic assessment, this article contends that the local state used the opportunity of the disaster as an experimental laboratory to implement an array of already existing national development plans. The urgency with which the reconstruction was to be completed and the opportunities to meet national development targets as well as access reconstruction funds were too tempting to resist. However, the ham-fisted Leninist implementation style met with local resistance and has contributed to a significant deterioration in local state-society relations. The fact that many local residents continue to question why, despite the huge resources invested by the state in the reconstruction project, they have yet to see any improvement in their economic and overall living conditions points to a deficit of local participation and a breakdown in political communication and trust. By focusing on the different political economies of disaster reconstruction, this article attempts to illuminate the regime's vision for developing the countryside, rural politics, and state-society relations in China more broadly. Unless the state is able to incorporate local needs into its development plans, it will not win the trust and support of local residents, regardless of the amount of money it invests or the benevolence of its intentions. © The China Quarterly 2014.

ABSTRACT: Earthquakes not only result in a great loss of human life and property, but also have profound effects on the Earth's biodiversity. The Lushan earthquake occurred on 20 Apr 2013, with a magnitude of 7.0 and an intensity of 9.0 degrees. A distance of 17.0 km from its epicenter to the nearest distribution site of giant pandas recorded in the Third National Survey was determined. Making use of research on the Wenchuan earthquake (with a magnitude of 8.0), which occurred approximately 5 years ago, we briefly analyze the impacts of the Lushan earthquake on giant pandas and their habitat. An earthquake may interrupt ongoing behaviors of giant pandas and may also cause injury or death. In addition, an earthquake can damage conservation facilities for pandas, and result in further habitat fragmentation and degradation. However, from a historical point of view, the impacts of human activities on giant pandas and their habitat may, in fact, far outweigh those of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Measures taken to promote habitat restoration and conservation network reconstruction in earthquake-affected areas should be based on requirements of giant pandas, not those of humans. © 2013 International Society of Zoological Sciences, Institute of Zoology/Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Disaster damages have negative effects on the economy, whereas reconstruction investment has positive effects. The aim of this study is to model economic causes of disasters and recovery involving the positive effects of reconstruction activities. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is a promising approach because it can incorporate these two kinds of shocks into a unified framework and furthermore avoid the double-counting problem. In order to factor both shocks into the CGE model, direct loss is set as the amount of capital stock reduced on the supply side of the economy; a portion of investments restores the capital stock in an existing period; an investment-driven dynamic model is formulated according to available reconstruction data, and the rest of a given country's saving is set as an endogenous variable to balance the fixed investment. The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake is selected as a case study to illustrate the model, and three scenarios are constructed: S0 (no disaster occurs), S1 (disaster occurs with reconstruction investment) and S2 (disaster occurs without reconstruction investment). S0 is taken as business as usual, and the differences between S1 and S0 and that between S2 and S0 can be interpreted as economic losses including reconstruction and excluding reconstruction, respectively. The study showed that output from S1 is found to be closer to real data than that from S2. Economic loss under S2 is roughly 1.5 times that under S1. The gap in the economic aggregate between S1 and S0 is reduced to 3% at the end of government-led reconstruction activity, a level that should take another four years to achieve under S2. © Author(s) 2014.

ABSTRACT: After the Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12 2008, the highways from Dujiangyan to Wenchuan, a crucial passage from Chengdu to Sichuan Western Plateau and Gansu province, are always seriously endangered by landslides, debris flows and their following hazards. Hundreds of debris flows from watersheds, gullies and slopes on July 10 2013 produced fatal hazards and destruction on the Highway G213 and the Express Highway from Yingxiu to Wenchuan. The debris flows are characterized by numerous-occurrence, large flux (645~2238m3/s) and large magnitude (5~126×104m3) as well as the hazard chain process which is composed of debris flow, dammed lake and outburst flood. The highways were seriously destructed and blocked in 16 sites, which were induced by 6 collapsed bridges, 3 submerged bridges, 3 buried tunnel entrances, 1 site collapsed highway base and 7 sites buried highway base or bridges, and the traffic was completely interrupted. Based on analyzing the destruction modes of highways, it was found that the large-scale and potential debris flows and the irrational location of some sections, vulnerable protection measures and low resistant capability of highways against debris flows were responsible for huge highway destructions. Considering the active debris flows in the future at least 5~10 years, it was strongly suggested that potential debris flow identification, integrated management of disastrous watershed, dangerous road line altering, increasing and strengthening protection constructions at dangerous section and improving highway reconstruction standard should be carried out for highway protection and traffic security. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: Collapse and landslide induced by"5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake generated a large number of loose solid material, which still remained on the mountain. Aftershocks and heavy rain conditions will induce secondary geological disasters, a direct threat to human life and property security and reconstruction results. Based on the landslide of Hanyuan Two Pretty mountain, this paper studied the basic characteristics of landslide before and after earthquake. The finite difference method is adopted to simulate landslide process, and the stress-strain law and failure trend is explored in three conditions including the natural, rainfall and seismic condition. After this, the method of strength reduction is used to analyze slope safety factor in different rainfall conditions. The analytical results are consistent with the macrogeological phenomena before and after earthquake. Research results can provide a reliable basis for the future study of the impact of earthquakes on the landslide and disaster prevention and mitigation. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: A catastrophic earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8.0 occurred at Wenchuan area of Sichuan province on May 12, 2008. The earthquake caused massive geographic hazards like landslides and mudflows, which destroyed forests and natural vegetation to soil erosion. In order to make decisions and policy planning for the earthquake region, evaluating the vegetation recovery rate is important. One evaluating tool can be used is called “Earth-observation tool”, which has temporal–spatial advantages in a remote sensing technology. The tool can reflect the temporal–spatial difference characteristics of vegetation coverage by analyzing multi-temporal remote sensing images. Accordingly, Dujiangyan-Yinxiu-Caopo area is chosen as a case study. The area was quantitatively evaluated in vegetation recovery conditions by using RS methods and multi-temporal TM/OLI images. In this paper, vegetation index was calculated and further obtained vegetation coverage results in 2001, 2009, 2010 and 2013. According to the final analysis, the vegetation coverage in 2009 was significantly lower than the coverage in 2001, there showed a clear relationship between changes spatial distribution and fault effect; the vegetation coverage in 2010 was lower than that in 2009, and image from different timing, vegetation coverage reduction was influenced by seasonal changes; the vegetation coverage in 2013 was slightly higher than the one in 2010, which meant that vegetation coverage began to be slowly recovering after the Wenchuan Earthquake. The variations, of which vegetation coverage spatial distribution range showed in calculation results, is essential to continuous long-term vegetation coverage in study areas forecasting future development trend. Authors in this paper believe that calculated results can be helpful in decision making and policy planning for recovery and reconstruction in the earthquake-affected areas. © 2014 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

ABSTRACT: Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of psychological distress in survivors aged 60 years old and older by sex and analyse risk factors for psychological distress in male and female older survivors 2 years after the Wenchuan earthquake. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Two hundred and fifty-seven older people were involved and a multistage random sampling method was utilised. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors for psychological distress among older men and women. Results: A higher prevalence of psychological distress was observed in older women than in older men. Loss of family members and displacement from pre-earthquake residence were significant risk factors for psychological distress in older men. Significant risk factors for psychological distress in older women were low educational level, chronic diseases, loss of family members, and displacement from original residence. Conclusions: Health-care providers should develop gender-based strategies to improve mental health among older survivors in a long-term post-disaster recovery programme. © 2013 ACOTA.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake occurred in 2008 serves as a turning point for many existing civil society organizations (CSOs) to involve themselves in disaster response, and offers opportunity for those grassroots organizations established from bottom-up in China. Based on the field survey and data analysis, the paper sorts out the development of Chinese CSOs in disaster response field, concludes the characteristics of these newly emerging organizations and its activities. We argue that the existing words used to describe the role of CSOs in preliminary studies are not enough to conclude all of the features identified from Chinese practice. The chemistry between CSO and other organizations in the affected areas such as local government, enterprises and self-organization of victims needs to be attention, and the chemical analogy of catalysis accurately describes the disaster response process involving Chinese CSOs. The paper introduces the concept of catalyst into the field of disaster response, and proposes a theoretical framework containing 5 dimensions: identity, boundary, link, penetration, and network of catalysts. In theory, the framework provides an approach for researchers; in practice, it may be used as a design toolkit for CSO project staffs. We believe that the framework of catalyst in disaster response process can also be used in other affected areas, to identify the key factors that may stimulate the reconstruction process in local context.

ABSTRACT: The massive, government-led, short-term post-disaster reconstruction conducted after the Wenchuan earthquake that took place in the province of Sichuan, China on May 12, 2008, produced enough housing and sound infrastructures for the earthquake survivors, however there was a priority given predominantly to the physical reconstruction, without as much attention being given to the social rehabilitation dimension. Hence, the lack of synchronization and imbalance between physical and social reconstruction resulted in most earthquake survivors not easily and smoothly being able to attach to their new environment; they had a difficult time establishing a sense of home in the new setting after their relocation. Based on this phenomenon, this paper presents how post-disaster reconstruction (particularly in China) could be improved upon by utilizing (in the planning, design and construction of the new settlement) the survivors' social and individual memories. Focusing on the memory workshops and walk-along interviews with the local earthquake survivors that took place in the field, this paper uses the method of storytelling to examine memory's function in the earthquake survivors' relocation process by portraying how memory informed survivors during each of the phases of reconstruction. During the emergency phase, the earthquake survivors' memories of past disasters reminded them of how they, and their predecessors, responded to and survived disasters in the past. During the reconstruction phase, survivors' memories of their original town helped them to transform the new community after their relocation. During the long-term recovery stage, the feelings of homesickness and uprootedness influenced some of them to decide to return to their original home location. Consequently, this paper argues that the local earthquake survivors' memories of their everyday lives and their use of spaces in their original home and place provided means to support their social reconstruction process after their relocation, especially assisted them to attach to their new dwelling and redevelop a sense of place.

ABSTRACT: A catastrophic earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8.0 occurred at Wenchuan area of Sichuan province on May 12, 2008. The earthquake destroyed forests and natural vegetation. As a result, it is necessary to assess the vegetation recovery rate for decision making and policy planning in earthquake region. In this paper, we calculated the vegetation index in 2001, 2009, 2010, 2013 employing RS methods. According to the analysis of mean change trend of vegetation index, the vegetation index in 2009 was clear lower than that in 2001, the main reason is that the vegetation loss caused by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake; the vegetation index mean in 2010 was lower than that in 2009, and image imaging at different times, vegetation index mean reduction is caused by seasonal changes; the vegetation index mean in 2013 is slightly higher than that in 2010, it showed that vegetation coverage began to be slowly recovering after the earthquake. According to the standard deviation of vegetation index, vegetation index has the smallest standard deviation in 2001, this showed it has a good homogeneous distribution before the earthquake; vegetation index has the largest standard deviation in 2009, indicates poor homogeneity after the earthquake; from 2009 to 2010 and to 2013, the standard deviation of vegetation index becomes smaller year by year, means that the homogeneity becomes better and vegetation cover also slowly get better. We anticipate that these results will be helpful in decision making and policy planning for recovery and reconstruction in the earthquake-affected area. © 2014 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: Entering the 21st century, the earthquake activity is frequent world-widely, among which the number of strong earthquake is increasing as well. When the earthquake occurs at the mountain area, highways become the lifeline project for anti-seismic and earthquake relief works, which presents absolute importance for the rehabilitation and reconstruction after earthquake. How to provide the timely rescue and how to ensure the lifeline project unlocked turn out to be a vital and urgent issue. Based on the surveys of the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, the damage to slopes and tunnels are analyzed and characterized into different types in this paper. The author concludes that more tunnels rather than slopes should be selected for the high seismic region in the future. Some thinking for the design and research of tunnels is proposed as well.

ABSTRACT: The Ms 8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 resulted in numerous landslides disturbing vast areas of vegetation. However, almost 5 years following the catastrophic event, vegetation recovery in the affected regions experienced dynamic changes. In this paper, a new method is proposed to detect poor vegetation recovery areas (PVRAs) where vegetation recovery has experienced significant difficulty. By using 8-day interval Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images from 2000 to 2012, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values after the Wenchuan earthquake are compared with past NDVI distributions before the earthquake. This method fully considers the dynamic processes of vegetation recovery, including both seasonal and annual variation in NDVI values, and identifies landslide disturbances from natural fluctuations. Then, the method has been applied in the study area in Pingwu County to detect vegetation recovery and its validity has been checked by field works and manual interpretation of different periods of SPOT5 imageries. By comparing unrecovered vegetation sites, the optimal threshold to define PVRA is determined. This research has singled out four types of PVRA (namely 'deposition,' 'back scar,' 'mixed large,' and 'land use change' types) in the study area, with each type of PVRA linked to different reasons for poor vegetation recovery. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the mostly affected counties, where Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) is greater than VIII. Spatial patterns of PVRA indicate that vegetation has experienced significantly poor process over relatively widespread regions. © 2014 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate the ecological restoration of Wenchuan County after the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, and to provide support for further ecological restoration and reconstruction. Simultaneously, this study also focuses on applying remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to evaluate the ecological environment. Wenchuan County, which was the epicenter of the May 12, 2008 earthquake, was selected for this research, which involved multi-source remote sensing data and other supporting statistical data. An eco-environmental quality evaluation index system was established based on the pressure-state-response framework. The analytic hierarchy process method was used to calculate index weight. The eco-environmental qualities of Wenchuan County in 2007, 2008, and 2013 were evaluated by using the comprehensive index method. The results for the eco-environmental quality evaluation of Wenchuan County in 2007, 2008, and 2013 were obtained. Data gathered on the eco-environmental quality of Wenchuan in 2008 were compared with those obtained in 2007, i. e., before the earthquake. Data on the eco-environmental quality recovery gathered in 2013 were also compared with the data in 2007 (i. e., before the earthquake) and 2008 (i. e., after the earthquake). The result of the analysis showed that 79.4% of Wenchuan County exhibited good eco-environmental quality in 2007. However, the eco-environmental quality of the county was severely damaged by the 2008 earthquake. In particular, the areas near the epicenter suffered from serious destruction. Five years after the earthquake (2013), the eco-environmental quality of Wenchuan County has been successfully restored. In particular, 55.84% of the regional eco-environmental quality of the county has significantly improved compared with that in 2008. The eco-environmental quality of poor regions in the county has also exhibited an obvious improvement. However, the eco-environmental quality in some regions in the county has not fully recovered. Evaluating and analyzing the eco-environmental quality of Wenchuan County in 2007, 2008, and 2013 are feasible by using remote sensing and GIS technologies. Such approaches help determine the space distribution of the eco-environ-mental quality of Wenchuan Earthquake and evaluate its recovery. This study offers several useful recommendations on protecting and restoring the ecological environment that can be applied in the future.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, with a magnitude of Mw 8.0, induced numerous landslides. Remote sensing planes were sent out to take high resolution aerial photographs, from which the geologic hazards could be instantly interpreted. However, aerial images covering all of the study area could not be obtained in a short time because of the limitations of the planes and the influence of weather conditions. This studyestablishes a statistical model based on the landslide interpretation results of one photographic strip inside the Beichuan-Pingwu area. It has strong applicability and can be applied to other places without such data. Finally, we produced a landslide susceptibility map, which providesscientific support for the instant evaluation of disaster information and post-disaster reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Debris flow is a common hazard in the Wenchuan earthquake area. Collapse and Landslide Regions (CLR), caused by earthquakes, could be located from Remote Sensing images. CLR are the direct material source regions for debris flow. The Spatial Distribution of Collapse and Landslide Regions (SDCLR) strongly impact debris-flow formation. In order to depict SDCLR, we referred to Strahler's Hypsometric analysis method and developed 3 functional models to depict SDCLR quantitatively. These models mainly depict SDCLR relative to altitude, basin mouth and main gullies of debris flow. We used the integral of functions as the spatial parameters of SDCLR and these parameters were employed during the process of debris-flows scale predictions. Grouping-occurring debris-flows triggered by the rainstorm, which occurred on September 24th 2008 in Beichuan County, Sichuan province China, were selected to build the empirical equations for debris-flows scale predictions. Given the existing data, only debris-flows runout zone parameters (Max. runout distance L and Lateral width B) were estimated in this paper. The results indicate that the predicted results were more accurate when the spatial parameters were used. Accordingly, we suggest spatial parameters of SDCLR should be considered in the process of debris-flows scale prediction and proposed several strategies to prevent debris flow in the future.

ABSTRACT: The May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake of China (Mw 7.9 or Ms 8.0) triggered hundreds of thousands of landslides. Mapping such a large number of landslides is a major task, considering the large size of the affected area and the availability of pre- and post-earthquake remote sensing images. This paper compares three (nearly) complete landslide inventories that were compiled from visual image interpretation. The three inventories differ in the manner in which the landslides are represented, either as polygons, centroid points, or top points. Landslides in the three inventories use one-to-one correspondence. Each of the three inventories includes a large proportion of the 197,481 landslides triggered by the earthquake. These landslides were delineated as individual solid polygons and points using visual interpretation of high-resolution aerial photographs and satellite images acquired following the earthquake and verified by selected field checking throughout a broad area of approximately 110,000 km2. These landslides cover a total area of approximately 1,160 km2. Based on the inventories of landslide polygons and landslide centroid points, two types of density maps were constructed. Correlations of landslide occurrence with seismic, geologic, and topographic parameters were analyzed using the three landslide inventories. Statistical analysis of their spatial distribution was performed using both the landslide area percentage (LAP), defined as the percentage of the area affected by the landslides and the landslide number density (LND), defined as the number of landslides per square kilometer. There are two types of LNDs: the LND-centroid (based on the centroid point of the landslide) and the LND-top (based on the top point of the landslide). We used the three indexes to determine how the occurrence of the landslides correlates with elevation, slope angle, slope aspect, slope position, slope curvature, lithology, distance from the epicenter, seismic intensity, distance from the Yingxiu-Beichuan surface fault rupture, peak ground acceleration (PGA), and coseismic surface displacements (including horizontal, vertical, and total displacements). Both the LAP and the two types of LND values were observed to have continuous positive or negative correlations with the slope angle, slope curvature, distance from the epicenter and from the Yingxiu-Beichuan surface fault rupture, seismic intensity, and coseismic surface displacement. In addition, the highest values of the LAP and LND values appear at ranges from 1,200 to 3,000 m in elevation. Moreover, the landslides have preferred orientations, dominated by the eastern, southeastern, and southern directions. In addition, the sandstone, siltstone (Z), and granitic rocks experienced more concentrated landslides. No obvious correlations were observed between the LAP and LND values and slope position. Finally, we studied the orders of eight earthquake-triggered landslide impact factor effect on landslide occurrence. Highlights: The 197,481 landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake were delineated. Three landslide inventories were constructed: polygon, centroid, and top point inventories. The landslides were spatially analyzed with topographic, lithology, and seismic parameters. © 2013 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake was a deadly earthquake that occurred on May 12, 2008, in Sichuan province of China. With the help of classic statistic methods, including arithmetic mean, standard deviation and linear trend estimation, vegetation restoration was recognized by analyzing spatio-temporal features of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) before and after this earthquake. Results indicate: (1) spatial distribution of NDVI mean values remains similar from 1998 to 2011. Higher values are mainly found in north, whereas lower values are mainly distributed over southeast, which is in good correlation with elevation and landform. Vegetation damage is at different levels in different seismic intensity (SI) regions: the higher SI is, the worse vegetation damage is. (2) Over the whole region, standard deviation is bigger after earthquake than before. Both absolute and relative changes in ecosystem stability increase with increasing SI. In different counties, variation of ecosystem stability is more obvious after earthquake, increase of standard deviation is approximately 6.5 times. Relatively, vegetation regionalization is the smallest analysis unit. Consequently, changes resulting from earthquake are unobvious. (3) Linear trend estimation coefficient increases from 0.0079 before the earthquake to 0.0359 after the earthquake in this whole region. This indicates that the plant ecosystem is rapidly restored between 2009 and 2011. The biggest linear trend is for the hill region, indicating good plant restoration and increase after earthquake. Fluctuation of linear trend estimation coefficient in different counties is more obvious after earthquake. Vegetation restoration after earthquake is most obvious in the regions that suffered the greatest SI (SI10 and SI11). In contrast, fluctuation in linear trend estimation coefficient of annual NDVI mean value for different classes of vegetation is more obvious before earthquake. © The Authors.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports on the results of a qualitative study on the responses of Chinese school children in one junior middle school and their parents to China's post-disaster school relocation policy. The sample comprised 22 pairs of parent-child dyads and two pupils whose parents could not be contacted. The study results were reported using Chambers and Wedel's (2009) conceptual framework, which delineates the fundamental elements of a policy. Content analysis was used to generate themes related to policy elements, such as goals, benefits and services. Both repetitive themes and idiosyncratic perspectives were reported so as to present a diversity of views. Despite adjustment difficulties and administrative problems reported by the study participants, the policy attention given to the rapid restoration of formal schooling for children was generally appreciated. The move back to the new school was greeted with cheer. © Overseas Development Institute, 2014.

ABSTRACT: A damage assessment method is proposed by using pre-event very-high resolution (VHR) optical and post-event synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to detect buildings damaged in an earthquake. First, the length, width, height and other 3-D parameters of a rectangular building are extracted using a pre-event VHR optical image. Second, an image-based GPU ray-tracing approach is used to simulate SAR images. Third, the similarity between the simulated SAR images and post-event actual SAR images is analyzed to determine thief the building is damaged. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method by using remote sensing images of the Sichuan Wenchuan Earthquake of May 12, 2008.

ABSTRACT: Earthquakes cause serious environmental problems for restoration and reconstruction of the area. Previous studies evaluated the consequences of soil loss and runoff from earthquakes. Some studies estimated soil loss and runoff amount precisely, but empirical studies on in situ and high geomorphic variability are lacking. This study was carried out in Xiaoyudong Township of Pengzhou County, China, in a typical subtropical, moist climate zone, with the vegetation of a subtropical, evergreen forest where the most destructive earthquake, named the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in May 12, 2008. This severe earthquake was followed by more than 30,000 aftershocks causing devastating landslides, soil erosion, runoff, and vegetation loss, which make the fault zone in the Longmen Mountains of Sichuan Province a perfect study area. The broad objective of this study was to estimate the sediment amount generated by the Wenchuan earthquake. The results show that (1) more runoff and soil loss occurred in landslides than at forested sites after the earthquake; (2) runoff and soil loss have positive linear correlations with rainfall amount and slope gradient, but there is a negative exponential correlation between vegetation cover and runoff, as well as soil loss; and (3) classification grades of soil erosion intensity reveals that total soil loss of very severe grade was 14.3% at the landslides sites. Moreover, 4.72 × 106 t (4.65 × 106 tn) of soil was still strikingly lost from landslides two years after the earthquake. Copyright © 2014 Soil and Water Conservation Society.

ABSTRACT: Remote Sensing Center of Sichuan province (RSCSP) received an urgent task soon after the world-shocking earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008 (so-called "5.12" earthquake), meanwhile the emergency working group of RS interpretation was founded by RSCSP and CDUT (Chengdu University of Technology). The main objective of this response RS interpretation group is to quickly provide the information of the earthquake disaster and the secondary geologic hazard situation. The first-hand information is immediately and accurately worked out and submitted to the site rescue teams, which is also very important and significant for making the further decisions of rescue actions and disaster reliefs. The data also have scientific value for particular ground surveying of geologic hazards, and for regional security assessment to postquake rebuilding. © 2014 WIT Press.

ABSTRACT: On 8th August, 2010, the catastrophic debris flows in Zhouqu County, China, shocked the world. The event destroyed more than 200 houses, killing some 1700 people. Field investigation indicated that nine masonry check dams built in the 1990s and after Wenchuan Earthquake of 12th May 2008 (Ms = 8.0) have been destroyed by the debris flows. In this paper, the limit pressure against debris flow has been studied by FLAC3D analysis software. Taking the check dam No. 3 as an example, the practical pressure of debris flow was calculated to be 98.8 kPa, which was greater than the previous design value of 66 kPa. Consequently, the inadequate design standard for check dams was the main reason for check dam destruction. In the process of reconstruction, the previous masonry check dams have been replaced by reinforced concrete gravity dams. By means of FLAC3D, the limit pressure against debris flow for concrete gravity dam reached 170 kPa, which was much greater than the calculated pressure (98.8 kPa). The results of numerical simulation indicated that the new structure (i.e. concrete gravity dam) was sturdy enough to withstand a large scale debris flow such as the 2010 Sanyanyu debris flow. The research will be valuable for improving protective measures against debris flow in disaster area of Zhouqu County. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: As high-speed railway construction booms in China, the buildings along the rail line have to go through high-intensity seismic mountain zone. Different from the far-field earthquake, the near-fault earthquake possesses more complicated frequency spectrum characteristics. The existing analysis methods such as power spectrum and response spectrum cannot provide more information on spatial time-frequency estimation. However, the local spectrum can depict the average energy distribution of seismic signal at a certain frequency band. Through the wavelet method, the local spectral density of acceleration records obtained from Shifang Bajiao station (Wenchuan earthquake, 2008) is analyzed, and the wavelet vector attached to the predominant band of the local spectrum is reconstructed. By the seismic signal decomposition and reconstruction processing, the wavelet method is seen to have great advantages in analyzing the near-fault ground motions. © 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the run-out analysis of the Daguangbao landslides subjected to near-fault multi-direction earthquake forces using discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). The Daguangbao landslide is the largest landslide induced by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. In order to investigate the effects of near-fault seismic force on landslide run-out, kinematic behavior of sliding mass is simulated by a dynamic discrete numerical analysis method called DDA. In this simulation, based on the shape of failure surface and the feature of slope geology, the whole slope is divided into three parts: base block, upper sliding mass, and lower sliding mass. Then two sliding masses are divided into the smaller discrete deformable blocks based on pre-existing discontinuities. Size effect of the huge landslide is also considered. Baseline corrected real horizontal and vertical ground motions are taken as volume force acting to the base block. The results show that seismic force has a significant influence on the landslide progression, sliding distance, and shape of post-failure. Results of the horizontal-and-vertical situation are in good agreement with those obtained from post-earthquake field investigation, remote sensing image and description from the survivors. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Based on the fact that waste building materials are ample in post-earthquake remains, this paper proposes to reuse these materials in the post-earthquake construction. Specific methods of application will be studied from three aspects: utilization design of waste building materials, control of engineering construction process, cyclic regeneration of waste building materials. The damage of Wenchuan earthquake was tremendous: 7.77891 million houses collapsed; 24.59 million houses were damaged1; the total construction waste exceeded 50 million m32. Though the population density of Yushu area is comparatively small, the total post-earthquake construction waste has reached 4.04 million m33. Therefore, dispose of construction waste became a troublesome problem in post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction. To ensure an effective waste disposal in post-earthquake reconstruction, a series of documents concerning waste disposal were released urgently by related departments and committees in China. These documents had great guiding significance in the clearance and duly handling of waste building materials. And they helped to promote resource recycle. However, only a few recycling measures of waste building materials have been mentioned in these guidance documents. The documents failed to offer a systematic utilization method in different stages of post-earthquake construction4, and they did not specify the order of importance and urgency. For this reason, the documents cannot facilitate the effective utilization of waste building materials in the resettlement and reconstruction of disaster areas. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: On April 20, 2013, a strong earthquake of M<inf>S</inf> 7.0 struck the Lushan County, Sichuan Province of China. In this paper, basic information of the April 20, 2013 Lushan earthquake, historical earthquakes in the Lushan earthquake struck area and associated historical earthquake-triggered landslides were introduced firstly. We delineated the probable spatial distribution boundary of landslides triggered by the Lushan earthquake based on correlations between the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake-triggered landslides and associated peak ground acceleration (PGA). According to earthquake-triggered landslides classification principles, landslides triggered by the earthquake are divided into three main categories: disrupted landslides, coherent landslides, and flow landslides. The first main category includes five types: rock falls, disrupted rock slides, rock avalanches, soil falls, and disrupted soil slides. The second main category includes two types of soil slumps and slow earth flows. The type of flow landslides is mainly rapid flow slides. Three disrupted landslides, including rock falls, disrupted rock slides, and soil falls are the most common types of landslides triggered by the earthquake. We preliminary mapped 3883 landslides based on available high-resolution aerial photographs taken soon after the earthquake. In addition, the effect of aftershocks on the landslides, comparisons of landslides triggered by the Lushan earthquake with landslides triggered by other earthquake events, and guidance for subsequent landslides detailed interpretation based on high-resolution remote sensing images were discussed respectively. In conclusion, based on quick field investigations to the Lushan earthquake, the classifications, morphology of source area, motion and accumulation area of many earthquake-triggered landslides were recorded before the landslide might be reconstructed by human factors, aftershocks, and rainfall etc. It has important significance to earthquake-triggered landslide hazard mitigation in earthquake struck area and the scientific research of subsequent landslides related to the Lushan earthquake.

ABSTRACT: On April 20, 2013, an M <inf>s</inf>7.0 earthquake occurred in Ya'an-Lushan region, Sichuan Province, China, killing and injuring more than one thousand people. Therefore, it is critical to outline the areas with potential aftershocks before reconstruction and re-settlement as to avoid future disasters. Based on the elastic dislocation theory and multi-layered lithospheric model, we calculate the co- and post-seismic stress changes caused by the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes to discuss the relationship between M <inf>w</inf>7.9 Wenchuan earthquake and M <inf>s</inf>7.0 Lushan earthquake, the influences on the distribution of aftershock caused by the Lushan earthquake, and the stress changes on major faults in this region. It is shown that the Coulomb failure stress increment on the hypocenter of Lushan earthquake caused by the Wenchuan earthquake is about 0.0037-0.0113 MPa. And the possible maximum value (0.0113 MPa) is larger than the threshold of stress triggering. Therefore, the occurrence of Lushan earthquake is probably effectively promoted by the Wenchuan earthquake. The aftershock distribution is well explained by the co-seismic stress changes of Lushan earthquake. By the two ends of the rupture of Lushan earthquake with increased Coulomb failure stress, a lack of aftershock recordings indicates the high seismic hazard. The stress accumulation and corresponding seismic hazard on the Kangding-Dafu segment of the Xinshuihe fault, the Beichuan-Yingxiu fault, the Pengxian-Guanxian fault, and the Ya'an fault are further increased by the Lushan earthquake and post-seismic process of Wenchuan earthquake. © 2013 Science China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In May 2008, a severe earthquake struck Sichuan Province, devastating many rural communities. Mudslides followed in 2010, undermining some attempts to rebuild. Despite rapid reconstruction efforts by the Chinese central government, many survivors faced uncertainty and substantial challenges. To support rural survivors' efforts to regain livelihoods and hope, social workers launched several asset-building initiatives in the area. The use of asset building as a strategy to address poverty emerged in the United States in the 1990s and spread to Chinese communities in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but there have been only a few efforts to apply the strategy in rural China. This article discusses the conceptual framework of asset building and details asset-building efforts in disaster-stricken rural communities. The article also documents an evolution in the concept of assets and proposes that the concept should be broadened further to include two additional types of assets: social and cultural. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

ABSTRACT: The fifth year since the deadly Wenchuan earthquake that killed more than 87,000 people will be commemorated in 2013. This article critically reviews the development and charts the direction of disaster social work in China, since the fateful 2008 Wenchuan earthquake jump-started it dramatically. While disaster social work publications, social work projects and organizations surged, young Chinese social workers felt challenged by poor professional recognition, harsh working conditions and limited prospects and support. However, they have been spurred onwards by the resilience and growth of their clients and professional fulfilment in the daunting process of recovery and reconstruction. © The Author(s) 2013.

ABSTRACT: The Ms 8.0 May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake triggered tens of thousands of landslides. The widespread landslides have caused serious casualties and property losses, and posed a great threat to post-earthquake reconstruction. A spatial database, inventoried 43,842 landslides with a total area of 632 km2, was developed by interpretation of multi-resolution remote sensing images. The landslides can be classified into three categories: swallow, disrupted slides and falls; deep-seated slides and falls, and rock avalanches. The correlation between landslides distribution and the influencing parameters including distance from co-seismic fault, lithology, slope gradient, elevation, peak ground acceleration (PGA) and distance from drainage were analyzed. The distance from co-seismic fault was the most significant parameter followed by slope gradient and PGA was the least significant one. A logistic regression model combined with bivariate statistical analysis (BSA) was adopted for landslide susceptibility mapping. The study area was classified into five categories of landslide susceptibility: very low, low, medium, high and very high. 92.0% of the study area belongs to low and very low categories with corresponding 9.0% of the total inventoried landslides. Medium susceptible zones make up 4.2% of the area with 17.7% of the total landslides. The rest of the area was classified into high and very high categories, which makes up 3.9% of the area with corresponding 73.3% of the total landslides. Although the susceptibility map can reveal the likelihood of future landslides and debris flows, and it is helpful for the rebuilding process and future zoning issues. © 2013 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Debris flows frequently occurred in Wenchuan earthquake region from 2008 to 2010, resulting in great damage to localities and being a prolonged threat to reconstruction. Forty three events' data including debris-flow volume, sediment volume and watershed area are analyzed and compared with other debris-flow events in Eastern Italian Alps, burned areas in USA and in Taiwan. The analysis reveals that there is a strong empirical relationship between debris-flow volume and loose materials volume in the earthquake region. In addition, the relationship between debris-flow volume and watershed area in the earthquake region has a wider variation range than that in other three regions while the debris volume also appears to be larger than that in the other three regions, which implies the volume of debris flows with strong influence of earthquakes is larger than that with no such influence and it is hard to predict the post-quake volume only by the watershed area. The comparison of the maximal debris-flow erosion modulus in the Wenchuan region and in Taiwan indicates that debris flows will be very active in a short time after strong earthquake. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

ABSTRACT: Background: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China resulted in great loss of life and property, and previous studies have focused on psychopathological symptoms in survivors after disasters. This study examined perceived family functioning and its predictors in disaster bereaved individuals eighteen months after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Methodology/Findings: This was a cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of 264 bereaved individuals. The instruments used in the study included Family APGAR Index, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation ScaleãÀ, Emotional and Social Loneliness Scale, and a range of items eliciting demographic characteristics and disaster-related variables. The results indicated that the rates of moderate family dysfunction and severe family dysfunction in bereaved individuals were 37.1% and 12.9%, respectively. Less financial loss during the earthquake was a significant predictor for positive family function. Better self-rated health status after the earthquake was significantly related to positive family function, cohesion, and adaptability. Scores on family cohesion and adaptability in bereaved individuals from extended or nuclear families were significantly higher than those from single-parent families. The ability to give birth to another baby of bereaved parents was a significant predictor for positive family function and cohesion. Poorer family function, cohesion and adaptability were significantly related to greater loneliness. Conclusions/Significance: This study found a high prevalence of family dysfunction in bereaved individuals eighteen months after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Strategies can be designed to facilitate post-disaster recovery, particularly for the bereaved at high risk for family dysfunction. The study provides useful information for post-disaster rebuilding and relief work. © 2013 Cao et al.

ABSTRACT: Large spoil tips from reconstruction works as a result of the Wenchuan Earthquake in China are new debris flow hazards to the human society. However, there is a lack of detailed comparative study on debris flow initiation in different spoil materials. This paper describes a series of tests and analyses on debris flow characteristics (initiation, scale and mechanism) at six sites with limestone and sandstone materials near the Dujiangyan area. Research shows the limestone spoil contains debris flow prone clay content with high concentration of montmorillonite (highly expandable). In addition, limestone spoil is of such a low permeability that water mainly concentrates in the upper surface layer. Those factors make it easy for the increase of pore water pressure, decline of internal friction and conhesion force, leading to the occurence of large debris flows. In contrast, the sandstone spoil is less problematic and causes no major debris flow threats. Based on our research on the mechanism, the"stereometric drainage"method is sucessfully applied to control limestone spoil debris flows. © 2013 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Since the Wenchuan earthquake in China on May 12th, 2008, highways in earthquake-affected areas have been frequently interrupted by debris flows. We analyzed the hazard effect modes and damage processes along highways and developed three key indexes, scale of debris flows, deposits on highways and river blockage, to describe quantitatively the highway disasters. By combining the empirical methods and the actual terrain conditions, we proposed new methods to determine the value of hazard indexes. In addition, we used the economic value and resistance of highway as vulnerability assessment indexes, then determined the specific subindexes for the subgrade, bridges and culverts, and developed a way for the quantified vulnerability zoning. Moreover, we proposed the assessment and mapping methods for highway risk. The risk is described into 5 grades: extremely low risk, low risk, middle risk, high risk and extremely high risk. We applied these methods in a case study carried out on provincial highway S303 from Yingxiu Town to Wolong Town, in Wenchuan County. Analysis of debris flow risk for the whole highway, showed that the total length of highway in extremely low risk area was 28. 26 km, 4. 83 km in low risk area, 8. 0 km in middle risk area, 3. 65 km in high risk area, and 3. 06 km in extremely high risk area. The assessment results are consistent with the field survey data which reflected the disaster situation. This risk method can be used objectively to evaluate the debris-flow risk along highways, and is useful for highway reconstruction in mountainous areas suffering from active debris flows. © 2013 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In May 2008, a massive earthquake of 8.0 on the Richter scale struck China's Sichuan Province. This study investigated survivors' communication practices in two communities in Beichuan during summer 2009, focusing on survivors' sharing of earthquake stories, which was a pervasive phenomenon in those communities. Four major purposes were identified in quake survivors' narratives: (1) memorializing loved ones and the past, (2) clarifying conflicting emotions, (3) reappraising reality and life values, and (4) rebuilding community. This study suggests that sharing such stories serves a therapeutic purpose that helps survivors of earthquakes and similar natural disasters cope with negative experiences and emotions, and to rebuild their communities. © 2013 Copyright AMIC/SCI-NTU.

ABSTRACT: The 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (Ms 8. 0) in China, produced an estimated volume of 28 × 108 m3 loosened material, which led to debris flows after the earthquake. Debris flows are the dominant mountain hazards, and serious threat to lives, properties, buildings, traffic, and post-earthquake reconstruction in the earthquake-hit areas. It is very important to understand the debris flow initiation processes and characteristics, for designing debris flow mitigation. The main objective of this article is to examine the different debris flow initiation processes in order to identify suitable mitigation strategies. Three types of debris flow initiation processes were identified (designated as Types A, B, and C) by field survey and experiments. In "A" type initiation, the debris flow forms as a result of dam failure in the process of rill erosion, slope failure, landslide dam, or dam failure. This type of debris flow occurs at the slope of 10 ± 2°, with a high bulk density, and several surges following dam failure. "B" type initiation is the result of a gradual increase in headward down cutting, bank and lateral erosion, and then large amount of loose material interfusion into water flow, which increases the bulk density, and forms the debris flow. This type of debris flow occurs mainly on slopes of 15 ± 3° without surges. "C" type debris flow results from slope failures by surface flow, infiltration, loose material crack, slope failure, and fluidization. This type of debris flow occurs mainly on slopes of 21 ± 4°, and has several surges of debris flow following slope failure, and a high bulk density. To minimize the hazards from debris flows in areas affected by the Wenchuan earthquake, the erosion control measures, such as the construction of grid dams, slope failure control measures, the construction of storage sediment dams, and the drainage measures, such as construction of drainage ditches are proposed. Based on our results, it is recommend that the control measures should be chosen based on the debris flow initiation type, which affects the peak discharge, bulk density and the discharge process. The mitigation strategies discussed in this paper are based on experimental simulations of the debris flows in the Weijia, Huashiban, and Xijia gullies of old Beichuan city. The results are useful for post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, as well as for preventing similar geohazards in the future. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: External assistance is often urgently required by local governments when the region is stricken by a destructive earthquake. This paper discussed the innovative Counterpart Assistance (CA) approach applied in post-Wenchuan Earthquake recovery and reconstruction. The CA is a systematic approach with an integrated operational framework, assistance-provision and -reception management and has been proved feasible and effective for post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction (PERR). Furthermore, the counterpart assistance can evolve to counterpart cooperation, ensuring the affected areas' economic renewal and long-term development and could further develop to become a general model for inter-regional coordinated development. As a sustainable assistance model for PERR with Chinese characteristics, some of the successful experiences of the CA approach could be introduced to other countries for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the family function among the bereaved in hard-hit areas 1 year after Wenchuan earthquake and to provide basic information for family reconstruction. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to survey 264 bereaved who were selected according to the criteria in hard-hit areas after Wenchuan earthquake. Results: The scores of family care function of the bereaved in hard-hit areas after Wenchuan earthquake were 6.52±2.65. Fifty percent of the participants' family kept in good state. The scores of the bereaved family cohesion ranged from 28 to 83 (64.22±9.18), and the scores of family adaptability ranged from 21 to 62 (41.84±6.62). There was no significant difference in the score of family cohesion between the bereaved family and the non-bereaved family (P>0.05). But the score of the family adaptability of the bereaved family was significantly lower than that of the non-bereaved family (P<0.05). The bereaved family types were as follows: 22.0% balanced type, 53.8% middle type and 24.2% extreme type. In the 16 family types, the "intimate-rigid" (24.6%), "intimate-regular" (19.7%) and "disengaged-rigid" (19.3%) type ranked the top three. Conclusion: The family care function of the bereaved in hard-hit areas after Wenchuan earthquake is damaged to different degrees. The main type of family is the middle type. The loss of relatives reduces the participant family adaptability. In the late intervention, we should help the bereaved improve and enhance family function, and promote family reconstruction of the bereaved.

ABSTRACT: From Aug. 12th to 14th 2009, the catastrophic giant debris flow occurred in Hongchun gully Yingxiu town Wenchuan County, Du-Wen higyway in the period of heavy storm. It has cut off the Du-wen highway traffic totally and weir of Ming River became the damming body, which diverted the river plug body and rushed into Yingxiu doxens of new houses. The overflow river isolated Yingxiu towm serious and threat the post-disaster reconstruction triumph.It have important significance that to study the basic features,the deformation and failure mechanism,the types and countermeasures to prevent and control the scale, the prevention and cure of high seismic intensity of debris flow in Hongchun gully. Base on the researches of geo-hazards background, conditions and basic features with the example of Hongchun gully debris flow, the author Analyzed the formation mechanism of debris flow and specific reason of blocking river and breaking highway, forecasted that causes of development of debris flow, also analyzed the stability of material sources in Hongchun gully's debris flow. Then the author put forward that the formation of debris flow in Hongchun gully and blocking of Minjiang River are related closely to rich loose material sources induced by Wenchuan earthquake, the heavy rainfall, and its unique landform. Researches show that the giant debris flow in Hongchun gully started from Ganxipu lateral ditch in the upstream, the materials collected and dam-broke, It collected the material sources of the main ditch, crushed into Minjiang River, joined with the material sources of Shaofan gully debris flow in the river-upstream, blocked river and became dam lake. In a word,it is necessary to strengthen the control of the debris flow because that it is very rich material sources in Hongchun gully, and prevent hazard of the debris flow burst again. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

And then comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of EMR in Lushan earthquake. Results a) Being 87 km apart from each other, the main seismic zones of Lushan and Wenchuan located in the south west and middle north of Long-menshan fault zone, respectively. Although only 1 earthquake magnitude differed between them, the disaster area, and the number of affected population, deaths, disappearances, injured, severe injured and migration population in Wenchuan earthquake were 40, 23, 353, 853, 27, 14 and 51 times higher than those in Lushan earthquake, respectively. b) Learned from Wenchuan experience, the manpower scheduling in Lushan earthquake was quicker: the assembled medical personnel peak of Lushan vs. Wenchuan was 87.62% vs. 56.06% in golden 72 hours post-quake. c) Supplies scheduling was more rational: the utilization rate was higher under the guidance of accurate information of demand. d) Medical treatment was more rational and efficient: the critical injured were treated following "Four concentration treatment principles"; saving life and restoring function at the same time; treatment and physical-mental rehabilitation at the same time; treatment and evidence production and implementation at the same time. e) Medical institutions and service returned to normal in time: 96.7% (440/455) of government owned township medical institutions in 21 affected towns returned to normal and provided medical services at their original sites. Conclusion By learning form Wenchuan experience, the following performance is implemented in Lushan earthquake: medical rescue guided by the accurate information; supplies scheduling guided by the accurate demand; both critical injured treatment, and physical-mental rehabilitation guided by the accurate assessment of injuries. So the medical rescue within 1 month after Lushan earthquake is quicker, more rational and efficient. After 20 days post quake zero death of critical injured was achieved. Te early physical-mental rehabilitation fastens the functional reconstruction of the injured and helps them return to the society. So it suggests that the Lushan EMR enriches and develops the reference value of EMR experience of Wenchuan earthquake. © 2013 Editorial Board of Chin J Evid-based Med.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to model the indirect economic loss due to damaged highway transportation systems in earthquake-affected areas that tends to be overlooked by decision-makers compared to direct economic loss that can be measured by repair or replacement cost. A regional Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model is applied for estimating indirect economic loss in the whole economic system of the affected area. Shifang is a county-level city located in northwest Chengdu city, which is the capital of Sichuan Province, China. In the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, Shifang was one of the ten hardest-hit counties or cities and its highway transportation system was seriously damaged. It was selected as a case study to evaluate the indirect economic loss by seismic highway transportation system disruption. Results show that indirect economic loss accounted for nearly 36.4% of direct economic loss, which is as significant as direct economic loss resulting from earthquake-damaged highway transportation systems, and thus should be paid enough attention by decision-makers in pre-earthquake prevention and postearthquake recovery and reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: This study examined perceived family functioning and depression in bereaved parents 18. months after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. This was a cross-sectional study with 190 bereaved parents sampled using a multistage stratified sampling method. The instruments used in the study included Family APGAR Index and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17. The results indicated that the prevalence of family dysfunction was 59.5%. All the respondents experienced depression with 79.5% of the respondents reporting very severe depression. Being female, being at an advanced age, being divorced or widowed, being directly exposed to the death of their children, not having another baby after the earthquake, and poorer family functioning were significant predictors for more severe depression. Strategies can be designed in post-disaster recovery programs for bereaved parents at high risk for more severe depression, particularly for those with poorer family functioning. © 2013 Elsevier Inc..

ABSTRACT: The value of terrestrial ecosystem carbon sequestration services has been widely recognized. Forests, grasslands and other ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon, which is the key to mitigating global climate change. The eco- environment of the western region of Sichuan Province was greatly destroyed by the earthquake which had occurred in Wenchuan on May 12, 2008. One of the direct impacts is that the landscape was seriously damaged and the disturbed eco- system released a significant amount of carbon dioxide because of sudden changes inland utilization and vegetation cover. Our goal was to use the maps of land use and land cover types and data of carbon reserves stocks in four carbon pools to estimate the amount of carbon stored in a landscape currently and the pre-seismic amount of carbon in the earthquake-hit areas, and then we have got a series of maps which can help us to conduct carbon management. Based on the geographical information system software of ArcGIS, this paper presented the evaluation index system to assess the carbon storage function of the earthquake-hit area, by calculating the density of carbon storage for four carbon pools (aboveground biomass, underground biomass, soil carbon and dead organic matter) in each grid. In addition, this paper also analyzed the spatial pattern of carbon storage function in this area. The results showed that the total carbon storage volume of the earthquake-hit area is 3. 97×108 t based on the spatial analysis module of ArcGIS and the average carbon density is 52. 2 t/ hm2. The ecosystem with the highest carbon storage and carbon density is represented by subalpine evergreen coniferous forest. The carbon storage volume increased with the increasing slope gradient and altitude. The carbon storage volume in the area where the slope is greater than 35°is 1. 3×108 t, accounts for 33. 9% of the total carbon storage volume in the earthquake- hit area. Because of the forests was destroyed by the powerful earthquake, the function of carbon storage presents a suddenly drop sat altitude of 750-1750m. In addition, the impact of earthquakes on the carbon storage is that the carbon stocks lowered primarily owing to vegetation damage, with the overall reduction reaching 9. 98×106 t. The most severely degraded areas are located in the northern mountains of Pengzhou County and Shifang County, along the southwestward extension of the Longmen Mountain. The recommendations of post-disaster reconstruction, vegetation and carbon management are listed as follows. 1) Expanding the area of forest coverage and improving forest quality is a key point to play an important role in forest carbon storage. 2) The vegetation restoration in the earthquake-hit area is given priority to the natural restoration approach of forest reservation, complementary with artificial approaches, such as artificial reforestation and landslide engineering control measures. The risk of secondary disasters can be decreased while ecosystem carbon storage function of the destroyed area is reconstructed. 3) To enhance the carbon contributions of farmland and grazing land area by pushing no-tillage agriculture, developing ecological agriculture, establishing a series of measures to improve comprehensive utilization (e. g., taking the action of returning straw to the field instead of burning them), and strengthening the carrying capacity control of prairie areas. Our results will help guide the vegetation recovery, carbon management and carbon trading. But most importantly, they can support a series of decisions made by government sat various levels in the earthquake-hit areas.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake-hit area is located in the Upper Yangtze River, which is the main distribution area of Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in China, and is one of the twenty-five hotspots for biodiversity conservation throughout the world defined by Conservation International, providing some important ecological service functions such as biological diversity conservation, water conservation, soil conservation and so on. Meanwhile, it plays an important role in ensuring regional ecological security. However, the eco-environment suffered from severe destruction in the Wenchuan 5. 12 earthquake. In order to protect biological diversity in the Wenchuan earthquake-hit area, it is necessary for us to identify the hotspots for biodiversity conservation, which is of vital realistic significance for the government to devote efforts to reconstruction and is beneficial to optimum resource allocation. Firstly, we calculated the integrated biodiversity index and analyzed the spatial distribution of biodiversity,and then applied the index to determine the biodiversity hotspots by spatial analysis. The hotspots established by the spatial correlation method generally are consistent with the conservation priority area based on the Marxan model. The hotspots account for 76% of the existing nature reserve and the hotspots in Nature Reserve account for 55% of all existing Nature Reserves in the Wenchuan earthquake-hit area, and the total habitat area of all indicator species in the hotspots accounts for about 70% of the whole earthquake-hit area. The verification showed that the spatial correlation method is a reasonable method which can be applied to establishing hotspots. Furthermore, we also found that the spatial correlation analysis method of identifying hotspots is able to overcome the deficiency that the priority area based on the Marxan model is too discrete and islanding. Moreover, the results also showed that there are two biodiversity hotspots, i. e., the Minshan region and southern Qionglai mountain region. Maoxian Country lies at the junction of the two hotspots in the Wenchuan earthquake-hit area, so it is recommended to set aside a certain natural area as an ecological corridor between these two biodiversity hotspots. The biodiversity hotspots identified by the spatial correlation method can provide the decision-making basis for biodiversity conservation and depressing the influence on biodiversity in the processes of restoration and reconstruction in the Wenchuan earthquake-hit area.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: External assistance is often urgently required when an area is struck by a catastrophe. Central government-oriented aid (CGA), national non-governmental organizations aid (NNA), and international humanitarian aid (IHA) are three typical aid models, and national counterpart aid (NCA) is an innovative model for post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction (PWERR). The purpose of this paper is to make a comparative study of the aid models in order to develop recommendations on external assistance for better post-disaster recovery and reconstruction (PDRR). Design/methodology/approach: This study was performed in three steps: a case study on the NCA model during the PWERR; a documentary research on the CGA, NNA and IHA models; and a comparative analysis of the four models. Findings: The results of the comparative study show that the NCA model is more efficient and effective than the other three typical aid models. However it must be based on the premise of a centralized government. Practical implications: The NCA model contributes to disaster management in a developing country context. It develops a viable model for developing countries in coping with the catastrophe, can enhance their ability for domestic self-assistance, and has reference to the construction of national integrated disaster management systems. Originality/value: This paper empirically researches the innovative NCA model, and compares it with commonly used aid models for the PDRR. Although it is a Chinese experience, the systematic inter-governmental collaboration of the NCA model has reference to other countries in disaster management. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

ABSTRACT: The catastrophic debris flows on Aug.18, 2012 resulted in huge property loss in Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou, China. Debris flows occurred in 60 sites and 20 gully debris flows distributed along Baishui River, intensively destroyed the buildings at the right bank. Debris flows were featured with less than 2% of fine soil content, the density of 1.74~1.91 g/m3, the peak discharge of 360~1274 m3/s as well as the process of rainstorm-landslide-debris flow-dammed lake-outburst flood. The discharge of debris flow remarkably amplified in small gullies, equaling to 5.0~29 times that before Wenchuan Earthquake. High-velocity and large discharge debris flows made direct hazards by intensively impacting, scouring and burying constructions as well as burying and destructing highway base. Outburst flood and river channel rise induced by debris flows enlarged the stricken areas and losses. The irrational location of constructions and the destruction of debris flow control constructions leaded to huge property losses. Encountering the active debris flow hazards in the future, it was strongly suggested for mitigation that strengthened the prediction of debris flows change trend, assessed risk of the dangerous debris flow gullies, relocated reconstruction based on debris flow risk assessment, improved the standards of control construction, reconstructed destructed highway at Xiaojiaping and improved the capabilities of prevention and mitigation.

ABSTRACT: Obtaining first-hand data and immediate information of collapsed buildings in the disaster region is exceedingly important for disaster rescue decision-making, especially when the weather is quite bad. In this work, a novel automatic depicting algorithm of earthquake collapsed buildings is proposed. This algorithm is developed based on the full understanding of the mechanisms between building's morphology in high-resolution images and the electromagnetic response of pixels in the image. Compared to the traditional depicting algorithm, this novel algorithm can depict collapsed buildings using only image after earthquake rather than images both before and after the earthquake. This algorithm has been successfully used in the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 and Yushu Earthquake in 2010 in China. © 2012 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake of 8.0 magnitude at Richter scale hit large region of Sichuan, China on May 12, 2008. It was a terrible disaster that caused great casualties and serious damages, and largely destroyed natural mountainous ecosystems in the earthquake-hit areas. Since the restoration of those damaged mountainous ecosystems plays an important role in ecological security in this region, it is argued that the reconstruction of those earthquake-damaged ecosystems should be given greater attention before and during the ecological recovery process. Yet, to date, little effort has been made to review and summarize the major unresolved questions relating to the ecosystem recovery after the earthquake. Focusing on the priorities for future research in this subject, based on the study and comparison of literatures we identified and examined four important research questions that need to be addressed, even two years after the earthquake. All these questions need to be resolved before significant progress can be made in habilitating the damaged natural ecosystems, and perhaps more importantly, the results provide very useful information for cost-effective restoration decision making and policy planning for the earthquake-hit areas. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: The authors make the width of surface rupture caused by 2008 Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake as the object, characterize the width of surface rupture by the thrust fault scarps, flexure-slip folds, and mole tracks, and check out characteristics of the width of the surface rupture along the Beichuan-Yingxiu fault and Hanwang-Bailu fault. The conclusion suggests that there is difference about the width between the Beichuan-Yingxiu fault and Hanwang-Bailu fault and about the width in different section along the same Beichuan-Yingxiu fault. Both of the faults have obvious hanging wall effect. The safety distance away from the fault in the hanging wall in rebuilding is 70 m at least and 23.5 m in the foot wall, and the total safety distance along the fault in rebuilding should be more than 108 m about the Beichuan-Yingxiu fault. The safety distance away from the fault in the hanging wall in rebuilding is 35 m at least and 20 m in the foot wall, and the total distance should be more than 58 m about the Hanwang-Bailu fault. In addition, the width and hanging wall effect of co-seismic surface rupture zone is in accordance with the hight of fault scarp, intensity isoseismal map, and strong earthquake ground motions. © 2012 Peking University.

ABSTRACT: A 1/4-scale model of a two-bay, two-span, six-story recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) frame structure was tested on a shake table. Dynamic characteristics of the structure were assessed through white-noise tests. The building suffered increasing levels of damage as excitations became more severe. The damage ranged from cracking to crushing of concrete. Nevertheless, the building did not collapse under base excitations with peak ground acceleration (PGA) up to 1.170g. The interstory drift, seismic force, interstory shear, hysteresis curves, capacity curve, ductility coeffcient, and stiffness degradation were computed and analyzed. Furthermore, general behavior of the RAC frame structure model was compared and discussed with that of the normal aggregate concrete (NAC) frame structure. The test results demonstrate that it is feasible to apply and popularize RAC frame structures less than six stories high in aseismic regions and the Sichuan Wenchuan post-earthquake reconstruction area.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan Earthquake triggered a lot of secondary disasters including landslide, collapse and mud-rock flow which have brought enormous difficulties on traffic, communications, and hydropower projects. As aftershocks will be last for a long time, the risk assessment of secondary disasters plays an important role for disaster prevention and mitigation. The remote sensing images of China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite (CBERS) with geological map, soil map and chart of vegetation coverage were used to distinguish the potential dangerous regions in Wenchuan County and assess the risk degree of secondary disasters. The results show that high possibility risk areas are located in the tall mountains and river valley from northeast to southeast around Yingxiu, Weizhou, Miansi, Yinxing, Gengda and Xuankou Town. © 2012 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan Earthquake triggered large numbers of collapses and landslides which provided abundant loose solid materials for debris flow. Debris flows were very active and caused great damages in the earthquake-hit area. Many important facilities had been constructed on debris flow alluvial fan and thus will be threatened by debris flows inevitably after the post-disaster reconstruction. Therefore, it is necessary to study the deposition prediction which can provide basis for the prevention and reduction of debris flows. This paper presented a case study on the debris flow deposition prediction based on numerical simulation by using Kanako 2D. The deposition ranges were simulated under the 1%, 2% and 10% debris flow frequencies. The simulation results show that debris flows will continue to block the Min River and raise the water level of the upstream barrier lake. A channel was suggested to be constructed on the alluvial fan to change the debris flow direction and avoid blocking the Min River based on the simulation results.

ABSTRACT: The devastating Wenchuan Earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 occurred in Sichuan Province, Southwest China, on May 12, 2008, which had seriously interfered with the ecosystem in the disaster regions, resulting in large areas of vegetation deterioration and soil erosion. This study monitored the vegetation deterioration and recovery in three serious disaster regions, which were Wenchuan Count, Yingxiu Town and Zipingpu Reservoir separately, by using NDVI-based quantitative indexes coupled with multi-temporal Landsat/TM and EO-1/ALI images and digital elevation model (DEM). The results indicated that vegetation destruction in these regions after earthquake was very serious, and the areas of destroyed vegetation in Yingxiu Town, which as the earthquake center, had accounted for 51%. The average vegetation recovery ratio in the three regions reached 75.8%, 55.4% and 41.5% on August 28, 2011, 3 years after the earthquake under natural vegetation succession, and the vegetation recovery was still ongoing from the trend of vegetation activities. Vegetation deterioration and recovery had a close relationship with the slope that vegetation was most likely to recover in the slope between 35° to 45°. The study results provide very useful information for ecological reconstruction and recovery in the disaster areas.

ABSTRACT: Background: The Wenchuan Earthquake that hit Sichuan, China in 2008 not only caused huge losses in terms of human life and economic damage. It also caused psychological trauma in survivors, especially those who had lost relatives and close friends (bereaved). In the aftermath of earthquakes, bereaved individuals require family and spiritual renewal in addition to material assistance. Purpose: This study investigated the status of and relationship between family function and depression in bereaved individuals living in areas devastated by the Wenchuan Earthquake. Results provide baseline information for postdisaster family reconstruction. Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed 264 qualified bereaved individuals who lived in an area hard hit by the Wenchuan Earthquake. Face-to-face interviews were administered based on the family APGAR(adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve) index and Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale. Results: The mean family function score for participants was 6.52 ± 2.65. Results for half (50.0%) of participants indicated "good" family function. Results indicated marital status, family structure and status of having another baby as factors that significantly influence family function (p <.05). Participants' mean depression score was 40.41 ± 9.35, with all (100%) of participants demonstrating symptoms of depression. The 5 most prevalent depressive symptoms were: depressed mood, decreased interest in work, mental anxiety, diminished capacity and agitation. Results showed marital status, leisure frequency, economic status, and having another baby as factors that significantly influenced family function (p >.05). A Pearson's correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between level of depression and family function (p <.05). Conclusion: Family functions of the bereaved living in areas hard hit by the Wenchuan Earthquake were all undermined to varying degrees. Although participants all exhibited depressive symptoms, this study found no affect of such symptoms on family functions. Interventions delivered in the months and years after an earthquake should be tailored to address each individual's depression status. Interventions should also help these individuals learn to improve and enhance family functions to effectively reduce negative behaviors and reactions in order to better promote physical and mental health.

ABSTRACT: The reconstruction work in Wenchuan seismic area has achieved great success which can be seen both from the government's reports and the victims' comments. But it was not studied that how to technically evaluate the status and the effect of such a great reconstruction process. Because of the complex situation, how to build an operable evaluation system in seismic area is the key problem. Take typical resettled environment as the research object, this paper make efforts to do a priority research to build the evaluation system. Four-step method and Triangular comprehensive evaluation method were employed to construct the evaluation factors set. Most of the evaluation factors were selected from the bottom-up survey. In conclusion, a set of factors which is suitable for the evaluation after resettlement were established. In the three different types of seismic areas, special factors which represent different modes have also been considered as well as the universality factors. © 2012 ASCE.

ABSTRACT: Taking Longnan area of the east part of Gansu province, which was seriously affected by the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake, as study area, a comprehensive analysis was conducted based on field investigation of the front and back of the Wenchuan earthquake. The caused factors were determined as the first scenario by expert experiences. To avoid the expert subjectivity and reduce the interaction between the caused factors, principal component analysis was conducted to determine a new scenario. The two scenarios were assessed by logical regression analysis. The landslide susceptibility maps produced by logical regression analysis were validated by the success rate curve and the cumulative area curve. The results show that the landslide susceptibility map in the new scenario is better than that of the original one. Therefore, the landslide susceptibility map with the new scenario can be recommended as the consultation of the post-quake reconstruction, infrastructure construction and land planning.

ABSTRACT: On August 14, 2010, an intense and prolonged rainfall triggered debris flow in Hongchun Gully, Yingxiu Town, the epicenter of Wenchuan earthquake. The event transported huge sediment material to the watercourse of the Minjiang River and formed a natural dam, resulting in flash flood in the new reconstruction Yingxiu Town. In order to predict the run out distance and extent of the hazard area of such kind of debris flows, we develop an approach from earthquake-induced landslides investigation to numerical simulation of debris flow in this study. At first, we determined the loose deposits by aerial photography identification and field investigation. Six large scale landslides were found in Hongchun Gully by using the object-oriented analysis remote sensing technique. And then, a two-dimensional numerical model was used to simulate the transport process of debris flow. Raster grid network of digital elevation model generated from GIS was used for the finite difference mesh. Results from the numerical simulation showed a good agreement with actual movement and deposition distribution of Hongchun Gully debris flow.

ABSTRACT: The cold-formed thin-walled square steel tube has been widely applied in post-seismic reconstruction area after the Wenchuan earthquake. As there are no detail design instructions about this kind of structure, a further study is demanded on the connection mode and mechanical properties of the beam-column connection in the tube structure. A tridimensional double connection points model was proposed according to the actual building structure. By using cycling loading test, two types of full-scale beam-column connections (8 specimens) under different axial compression ratios were studied, among which four connections are welded with haunch slabs, and the others are not. According to the comparison of the results, failure modes and hysteretic curves of connection with welded haunch were obtained. Moreover, main parameters for estimating seismic behavior of connection with welded haunch were studied, such as load-carrying capacity, ductility ratio, stiffness degeneration, and energy dissipation coefficient. Meanwhile, ANSYS nonlinear finite element models were used to analyze the seismic behavior of the connection, and the results were also compared with the experimental results. The research shows that: analytical results agree well with experimental results, and the theoretical analysis proves to be correct. The ultimate failure of connection with welded haunch is caused by the local buckling of beam, and the yield surface is almost all located at outside of connections. The connection with welded haunch can experience more cycling times of deformation, which has longer yield platform after yield, stronger cumulative energy dissipation capacity and better ductility. Those properties can make connection consume much energy in earthquake and meet much better the need of seismic design.

ABSTRACT: In order to more accurately evaluate soil erosion of Li country, Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area, Sichuan province, potential and actual soil erosion was qualitatively analyzed using the combination method of GIS, RS and USLE, and a brief comparison of soil erosion before and after earthquake was conducted. Moreover, changes of soil erosion area about different erosion intensity and the soil erosion amount were studied from four aspects, including slope, slope aspect, land use patterns and elevation. The results showed that soil erosion in Li country amounted to 844.46 million tons in the whole year and the average soil erosion was 1957.79 t/(km 2·a), belonging to the moderate erosion. Compared with before earthquake, the areas of soil erosion were enlarged in mild, intensive and extreme regions especially at the region with slope more than 30-50 degree, altitude more than 2000-3000 m, as well as aspect of south and west slope. Further, the results provide a better basis for the reconstruction and the conservation of the soil erosion in Li country.

ABSTRACT: Following a major disaster, shortages of resources and the increased costs of building materials are likely to slow post-disaster reconstruction. To examine the resource needs for post-disaster housing reconstruction, a longitudinal study was conducted between 2008 and 2010 of the Wenchuan earthquake-impacted Mianzhu City in China. Cost escalation of the common materials of brick, cement, aggregate and steel shows the varying correlation between material requirements and the reconstruction progress. Based on in-field surveys and interviews, the underlying drivers that contributed to changes in the cost of these materials were identified. Findings suggest that apart from physical disaster impacts and urgency of housing reconstruction, other effects, such as legislative interventions and the economic environment, are primary factors in explaining changes in resource requirements. Cost changes for brick and aggregate were to a great extent influenced by local policies and mandates. In contrast, cost changes for non-localized materials such as cement and steel were largely dominated by broader economic effects and domestic strategies in China. To reduce potential resource cost fluctuations and their impacts on recovery, robust post-disaster reconstruction planning is needed and requires systematic mapping and monitoring of resource demands over the reconstruction period. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: Geo-hazards induced by earthquakes have caused ecosystem degradation and vegetation destruction. Little, however, is known about the consequences of geo-hazards due to a lack of research data. We have undertaken a study in the Wenchuan earthquake-affected area of China in order to identify and characterize vegetation destruction and its consequent environmental impact. The Wenchuan earthquake on 12th May, 2008 induced numerous geo-hazards (including rock avalanches, landslides, landslide-dammed lakes and debris flows) that caused vegetation destruction up to 1249.5km 2, of which shrub comprised the largest proportional area with 338.559km 2. The vegetation coverage decreased by 4.76% in 9 severely damaged cities and counties and by 12.37% in the Subao river, Beichuan county. Rock avalanches and landslides were the most common destructive types, resulting in 98.73% of all types of geo-hazards, whereas debris flows and landslide-dammed lakes accounted for 1.27%. Vegetation destruction was distributed along both sides of rivers causing erosion, formation of debris flows and landslides. Hydrologic progress was changed and hydrological adjusting function diminished due to vegetation deterioration resulting in bare rock (infiltration reduced, runoff increased and flow concentration expedited) and deposit region (infiltration increased and runoff reduced) in catchment. Soil erosion was intensified causing increased sediment transportation of rivers, decreased storage capacities of reservoirs downstream, a significantly increased area that has suffered severe erosion and aggravated magnitude and damage capability of debris flows and landslides. Ecosystem function declined and vegetation restoration and reconstruction was difficult due to co-degradation of vegetation-soil system in the earthquake-affected areas. Finally, we summarized the challenges faced in the future for vegetation restoration and reconstruction. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008, an earthquake measuring magnitude 8 shook the midwestern part of China. The Wenchuan earthquake, the largest in modern China, killed or injured more than 80,000 people. The earthquake coincided with the afternoon attendance of school, resulting in the deaths of many teachers and students. This paper studies the rise of the grassroots power and social organizations that accompanied the rescuing and rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake. The emergence and development of these social organizations reflect a unique trend of working horizontally among the citizens, and collaboratively between society and the party state. This paper shows the plural nature of the exchanges and interactions between society and state. On the one hand, the state increasingly seeks collaboration with society to meet a wide range of social needs; on the other hand, social organizations strategically implicate the state in the supportive network by seeking legal support from the state. This ethnographic study of two social organizations from the earthquake emphasize: the agency of these organizations in actively seeking cooperation with the state, and exploring the cultural logics of their interaction and engagement with the state. © 2012 The Institute, Inc.

ABSTRACT: A mass of landslides and instable slopes was induced in "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake. The stability of the landslides and instable slopes would influence the development of society and economy and reconstruction in the affected area of the earthquake. The different stability states of the seismic landslides determine the different evolventent characteristics of the terrain profiles and the terrain profile traces directly reflect the evolvement process and mechanism of slopes in the seismic excitation. Based on the measured terrain profile traces of landslides induced by the Wenchuan earthquake, the distributive characters of terrain profile traces of the relative stable landslides and landslides in slow sliding and instable phases, and their multifractal dimension evolution characters were studied. Results show that the evolvement of multifractal dimensions of relative stable landslides has evident orders, and landslides in slow sliding and instable phases have obvious characteristic inflexions.

ABSTRACT: Flow-like landslides have caused significant damage and casualties worldwide. However, studying such phenomena with traditional simulation methods is made difficult by their complex fluidization characteristics. In this paper, we use smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) for the run-out analysis of flow-like landslides. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed SPH modeling technique is the combination of a Bingham flow model and Navier-Stokes equations in the framework of computational fluid dynamics. At first, two benchmark problems of dam break and granular flow are simulated and verified to evaluate the accuracy of the SPH model. Then, run-out analyses are performed for flow-like landslides triggered by the Ms 8. 0 Wenchuan earthquake that occurred on 12 May 2008 in Sichuan Province, China. Run-out analyses of the Tangjiashan, Wangjiayan, and Donghekou landslides are conducted by the application of SPH models to real flow-like landslides. All simulations show good agreement with characteristics of flow-like landslides observed in the field. We have found that numerical modeling can capture the fundamental dynamic behavior of these flow-like landslides and produce preliminary results for hazard assessment and site selection for reconstruction in earthquake-prone areas. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake, also known as 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, occurred along the Longmenshan fault zone on 12 May 2008 at 14:28:01. 42 CST (06:28:01. 42 UTC). It caused serious damage to structures in the region. Beichuan is a town which is within these severely damaged areas. According to the earthquake intensity distribution map of 2008 Wenchuan earthquake officially released by the China Earthquake Administration, the earthquake intensity in Beichuan was XI on the China seismic intensity scale. As the earthquake occurred in a mountainous area, there were thousands of landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, and surface ruptures triggered by the earthquake over a broad area. These secondary geological hazards substantially increased the human, social and economic impact of the earthquake. This paper presents a post-earthquake analysis on the secondary geological hazards in Beichuan. The risk analyses associated with construction of the National Earthquake Memorial Museum in Beichuan are assessed and recommendations on risk mitigations for the mass reconstruction over the ruins are also provided based on this field study. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: The M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake on May 12th, 2008 was the most destructive in China since 1976. The event caused huge damage and loss of life and exposed weaknesses both in the formulation and implementation of the regulations governing building in the affected provinces. Following the earthquake a massive relief and recovery operation was mounted by the Chinese government. The authors took part in field studies in the affected area which took place 5 and 11 months after the event, at which time recovery operations were well-advanced. The aims of the study were to assess the effects caused by the earthquake to the built environment and society, to collect information on the ongoing recovery efforts and future plans, and to demonstrate the use of tools that allow the collection of spatially referenced damage and recovery data. Based on available satellite imagery supplemented by ground observation, geodatabases were constructed containing information on damage and recovery in several parts of the affected area. The paper gives an overview of the recovery process, describes the methods used to construct these geodatabases, and offers some analysis of the data obtained. It is argued that such databases have great potential for the management of post-disaster recovery and for creating a permanent record of the recovery process. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 has resulted in 50% of Guangyuan city facing recovery from different extents of damages. The massive reconstruction provides a good opportunity for Guangyuan city to response to the National Council's call for tackling climate change by developing a harmonised and low-carbon economy. However, there are many arguments about the definition of 'low carbon' and the framework that low-carbon development should follow. Low-carbon development in an economically least developed region such as Guangyuan would provide evidence and contribute to the discussion. The paper employs CO <inf>2</inf> emissions as an environmental indicator in scenario analysis to investigate Guangyuan's future carbon performance in following the national call of reducing 40% of carbon intensity by 2020 and an alternative low-carbon development path. The results have demonstrated that a 'win-win' solution can be reached-keeping rapid economic growth while reducing CO <inf>2</inf> emissions, however, only by addressing the 'correct' determining factors. Technology improvements and production structure changes have been identified as the key determining factors to affect both carbon intensity and CO <inf>2</inf> emissions in the future. The two factors are also interdependent. Governmental policies should give appropriate guideline to address both factors but with strong emphasis on production structure decarbonisation in order to avoid the mistake of 'polluting first and deal with the pollution later' during the emission-intensive industrialisation processes that many western countries and China's coastal regions have followed. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To conclude experience and lessons from emergency medical rescue after Wenchuan Earthquake from national and overall review for consideration on worldwide catastrophe rescue in the future. Methods: To systematically collect huge amount of primary data, and to make analysis, draw conclusions and lessons in terms of five aspects respectively as quake-damage conditions, command system, emergency medical rescue, prevention and control over infectious diseases as well as pairing-assistance for medical system and service reconstruction. Results: 1. Numbers as of the death, injured and migrants made Wenchuan Earthquake ranked one of the top 9 catastrophes around the world during the past two decades. 2. Countermeasures such as four-level linkage by nation-province-city-county model, mutual assistance between military force and local forces, frontline commanding did effectively ensure the dispatch and cooperation among rescue forces. 3. Three-leveled medical transfers, "four concentrations" prevention and treatment besides whole-course rehabilitation at early stage managed to lower mortality and disability rate to minimum levels respectively. 4. "Four-keynote infectious disease control" under whole coverage and "five measures and four reinforcement measures" in settlements made rates as for those infectious diseases under the average level as those in the 3 pre-quake years. 5. Pairing-assistance in terms of talents, finance, materials as well as capacity building between other 18 provinces/municipalities and those 18 extremely-stricken/severely-stricken areas in Sichuan Province guaranteed efficient post-quake reconstruction, system reconstruction and long-term mechanism construction. Conclusions: Successful experience from Wenchuan Earthquake could be summarized as: one goal as people-oriented life-rescuing. Two tasks as medical rescue for diseases of those injured and healthcare & anti-epidemic for safe and sound of those lives. Three strategies respectively as medical transfers after on-site triage, treatment for severe diseases in quake-hit areas and rehabilitation in non quake-hit areas for medical rescue, and quick post-quake evaluation, quick promotion for whole coverage and scientific regulation in long term for healthcare & anti-epidemic. Four measures as concentration for patients, experts, resources and treatment respectively for medical rescue, and key regions, key groups, key infectious diseases and key steps for healthcare & anti-epidemic. Five links as overall commanding, medical rescue, healthcare and anti-epidemic, physical/mental rehabilitation and post-quake reconstruction. And whole course surveillance as information guidance, policy guarantee, data collection, evidence producing, effectiveness evaluation, and academic communication. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd and Chinese Cochrane Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University.

ABSTRACT: This article focuses on the dynamics of using numbers to construct an image of social reality in disaster areas. Numbers are neither objective nor value-neutral but are rather generated, transmitted and shared with social signification. In other words, numbers can be thought of as simply socially constructed information. Statistics and other numbers usually work in positive ways. However, it is also possible that using numbers in the media can lead to unintended messages that could produce negative consequences. We conducted field studies in disaster-stricken areas of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China and compared findings to the case of the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan in order to examine how numbers-in terms of the amount of donations, the timeline of reconstruction projects and casualty figures-construct social reality and cause a variety of social dysfunctions. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

ABSTRACT: The theory of emergency management life-cycle has assisted both researchers and managers. It not only is used to systematize and codify research results but also drawn upon to organize emergency activities. This paper reviews the development of the theory of emergency management life-cycle and analyzes the deficiencies. Based on the discussion and analysis on the previous studies, a new emergency life-cycle whole process model is generated. There are three phases (forecast and early warning, rescue and disposal, recovery and reconstruction) and three foundations (mitigation, preparedness, and communication) included in this model. In addition, Wenchuan earthquake is studied in this paper. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Based on adaptive regional input-output (ARIO) model, and taking 1 month as calculating step, this study simulates the reconstruction process after the Wenchuan earthquake. Results show that the complete reconstruction period requires about 9 years, and the total production recovery requires 36 months. Based on the simulation of reconstruction, this paper also evaluated the potential profit for different risk management strategies, e. g. , if post-earthquake production capacity could be speeded up to 150% of the pre-earthquake in 3 months, the reconstruction period could be shortened for 3 years and a half. This result shows the importance of manpower and mate rials investment to the shortening of reconstruction period. The ARIO model is helpful in managing post-earthquake reconstruction, shortening recovery and reconstruction period and reasonably distributing disaster relief resources.

ABSTRACT: A huge amount of building waste was generated by collapsed dwelling houses and dilapidated buildings after the Wenchuan earthquake which occurred on May 12, 2008, in Sichuan Province, PR China. In this paper, based on the field damage investigation in the earthquake-hit area, the relationship between different building structures and building waste produced is established and evaluated. A mathematical model to forecast the amount of building waste in the earthquake-hit area is preliminarily proposed, the type and the quantity of building waste are statistically analyzed from several aspects. The composition and distribution characteristics of building waste in the disaster area are thus described. Finally, considering the characteristics of building waste, some suggestions and applications on potential reuse and recycling of building waste are put forward. This will make the post-earthquake reconstruction engineering more ecological and economical. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT: Collapse is one of the major secondary geological disasters induced by Wenchuan earthquake on May 12th, 2008. Based on many on-site investigations of collapse bodies in disaster areas, the movement process of unstable rock masses is divided into three stages of free-fall, bouncing, and rolling. Mathematical models of the three stages are established separately. Yangjiatai collapse body in Jiuzhaigou is taken as an example. Its velocity of unstable rock masses, rolling distance, and impact force are calculated. The models can provide a basis for the treatment design of the collapse bodies in the disaster reconstruction process.

ABSTRACT: On 12 May 2008, a devastating earthquake occurred in Sichuan Province, China, taking tens of thousands of lives and destroying the homes of millions of people. Among the large number of dead or missing were children, particularly children aged less than five years old, a fact which drew significant media attention. To obtain relevant information specifically to aid further studies and future preventative measures, a neural network model was proposed to explore some geological and socio-demographic factors associated with earthquake-related child mortality. Sensitivity analysis showed that topographic slope (mean 35.76%), geomorphology (mean 24.18%), earthquake intensity (mean 13.68%), and average income (mean 11%) had great contributions to child mortality. These findings could provide some clues to researchers for further studies and to policy makers in deciding how and where preventive measures and corresponding policies should be implemented in the reconstruction of communities. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: Stockaded villages of the Qiang nationality that are made up of watchtowers and watch-houses are an important part of its cultural heritage. The earliest documentary records of its blockhouse-styled construction can be found in Biography of the Ethnic Minority Groups in Southwest China of History of Eastern Han. In 2006, watchtowers and stockaded villages of the Qiang nationality was placed in the preparatory declaration list of world cultural heritage in China and became a minority architectural heritage that is of potential value for world cultural heritage. The Wenchuan earthquake, which happened on May 12th, 2008, caused severe damage to settlements of the Qiangs in the upper reaches of Min River, including the "Tangping Qiang village," which plays a prominent role in Qiang stockaded villages. In conserving this important architectural heritage, we observe the idea "everything for heritage value". We discuss and draw up a series of salvage conservation countermeasures and research for antiseimatic key technology during post-earthquake reconstruction period of Tibetan and Qiang settlement engineering projects, including six engineering principles on priority of structure rescue, heritage value, former address maintenance, traditional way of use, protection against and mitigation of earthquake disasters, and spot cleaning and separating. We draw up three rules in engineering strategy, namely: (1) we should follow ultimate orientation of heritage value protection in rescue, maintenance, and protection engineering; (2) degrees of priority of engineering measures should be differentiated according to the situation of the disaster and residential situations of stockaded villages and; (3) we should keep local smiths and conventional art as the base, and modern technology as a supplement in rescue, maintenance, and protection engineering. © 2012.

ABSTRACT: The Gutenberg-Richter and Omori Laws, which are generally used to characterize the temporal distribution of aftershock, failed to reflect the statistic properties of climatic outbreak of aftershock energy. Based on a new concept of magnitude clusters describing the fluctuation of aftershock energy release of the Wenchuan Earthquake, we discovered that the pattern of the continuous high-magnitude aftershock follows a power-law rather than a non-Poisson distribution. This suggests that the aftershocks with high magnitudes are statistically clustered. We then divided the aftershock sequences into three sections and demonstrated that though the probability of strong outbreaks decreased with time, there exists a high possibility of the occurrence of isolated high-magnitude aftershocks in the future. Based on self-organized criticality theory, the mechanisms of the power-law pattern of magnitude clusters are discussed. This discovery may be used to guide future aftershock predication and the associated post-disaster reconstruction. © 2011 Science China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: During the three flood seasons following the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, two catastrophic groups of debris flow events occurred in the earthquake-affected area: the 2008-9-24 debris flow events, which had a serious impact on rebuilding; and the 2010-8-13/14 debris flow events, which destroyed much of the progress made in rebuilding. The Wenjia gully is a typical post-earthquake debris flow gully and at least five debris flows have occurred there. As far as the 2010-8-13 debris flow is concerned, the deposits of the Wenjia gully debris flow reached a volume of 3. 1 × 10 6 m 3 in volume and hundreds of newly built houses were buried. This study took the Wenjia gully debris flow as an example and discussed the formation and characteristics of post-earthquake debris flow on the basis of field investigations and a remote sensing interpretation. The conclusions drawn from the investigation and analysis were as follows: (1) Post-earthquake debris flows were a joint result of both the earthquake and heavy rainfall. (2) Gully incision and loose material provision are key processes in the initiation and occurrence of debris flows and a cycle can be presented as the following process: runoff-erosion-collapse-engulfment-debris flow-further erosion-further collapse-further engulfment-debris flow enlargement. (3) The amount of rainfall that triggered debris flows from the Wenjia gully was significantly less than the average daily rainfall, while the intraday rainfall threshold decreased by at least 23. 3%. (4) The occurrence mechanism of Wenjia gully debris flow was an erosion type and there was a positive relationship between debris flow magnitude and rainfall, which fitted an exponential model. (5) There were five representative characteristics of Wenjia gully debris flow: the long duration of the occurring process; the long distance of deposition chain conversion during the process of damage; magnification in the scale of debris flow; and the high frequency of debris flow events. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: Chengdu-Dujiangyan Railway is the first major post-earthquake reconstruction project after wenchuan earthquake. The area along the railway is densely-populated and economically-developed Chengdu Plain, especially Mount. Qiangcheng and Dujiangyan are world-famous tourist attractions. The bridge is designed under the guidance of overall landscape planning of the whole line. The single-box single-cell section and inclined web with a big angle of inclination is used for simply-supported box beam. The shield and noise barrier are designed together with outline of beam body as a whole, which may make bridge aesthetical in appearance and meet the requirements of technical standards in dynamical performance and load bearing capacity of the structure. On the full consideration of the characteristics of the railway, the seedling-shaped piers are adopted, which have a profound meaning, and also a landscape effect for effectively taking into account both high pier and low pier. The continuous beam bridge is designed according to the principle of smooth transition with adjacent simply-supported beams. The movable bearing for main pier is the pot rubber bearing with damper. In the event of earthquake, the dampers will be locked, which make piers with movable bearing and piers with fixed bearing together bear the longitudinal horizontal force. For the wider turnout continuous beam the partitioning width structure design method is used to reduce the influence due to transverse deformation. For overpass highway intersection with a small angle the frame pier is used and the slotting method on the column body is used to increase the vertical visual effect. The setting of bearing on the top of partial columns for long bent cap frame pier in the elevated station can reduce effectively the temperature effect. The noise barrier is designed with the shield matching on the bridge. The steel plate is embedded on the top of shield as the foundation post for noise barrier or as reservation of the foundation condition of post for noise barrier. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: Through the survey and research on seismic damage phenomena of damaged towns by Wenchuan Earthquake and geological environment, this article identify that the seismic damage effect of towns damaged by Wenchuan Earthquake mainly includes four types which are fault dislocation effect, site and foundation effect, topography motion amplified action and geologic hazard effect. Site selection of the reconstruction of damaged towns and seidmic design of building and other problems are complex and systemic engineering problems, and they refer to many complex factors such as earthquake faults, geologic hazards, national well-being and the people's livelihood, economic development and so on. The basic principles of consideration should be: for the mountain towns which are located at seismic fault zone and exist serious geological disaster, they must be avoided and relocated off-site; for the towns which are away from the fault for a distance and have no fatal geological disaster risk, we should follow the principles of "scientific planning, normative avoidance and reasonablely adjust the seismic standards" and reconstruct in the former location. Reconstruction site should also pay attention to the concealment of geological hazards, the multiplicity and long-term sustainability of induced factors and so on, so we should enhance the suitability evaluation of the geological environment and risk assessment of geological disaster. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: Power system related to the people's livelihood is an important lifeline and its rapid post-earthquake rehabilitation and reconstruction is particularly important. Considering the importance of power system, cost estimation method of post-earthquake rehabilitation of power system is proposed. Based on the direct economic losses of power system, post-earthquake rehabilitation cost is given by index of the post-earthquake adjustment factor which is put forward according to post-earthquake rehabilitation cost and direct economic losses of power system in "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake. Cost estimation method of post-earthquake rehabilitation of power system could provide good suggestions for post-earthquake rehabilitation work. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: There is a need to understand resourcing issues when reconstructing the built environment in a postdisaster situation. The purpose of this paper is to determine the resourcing difficulties that are likely to face the international practitioners in postdisaster reconstruction by identifying and comparing the factors that affected resource availability following natural disasters in Indonesia and China respectively. The research methodology included fieldbased questionnaire surveys, semistructured interviews and observations. A comparative analysis was used to extract similarities and differences with regard to resourcing approaches in Indonesia and China. Despite the different resourcing approaches adopted in Indonesia and China in their recovery from largescale disasters, there are common issues facing postdisaster reconstruction stakeholders, including competence of the implementing agencies, capacity of transportation, governance and legislation, and market conditions. Specifically, communityrelated housing features played a dominant role in donordriven resourcing practice in postIndian Ocean tsunami reconstruction in Indonesia, whereas factors related to project control and management primarily contributed to resourcing performance of Chinese reconstruction specialists following the Wenchuan earthquake. To solve resourcing problems, countries need to create an enabling environment and build institutional capacity. The crosscultural comparative analysis encourages policy makers and practitioners to exchange experiences from recent recovery operations. The paper illustrates the infrastructural and institutional weaknesses that hindered effective resource procurement during postdisaster reconstruction in Indonesia and China. The research findings show common areas in need of improvement in other disaster prone countries, along with the issues to be addressed in the donorled or contractorled resourcing practice in the two studied countries. © 2012, Emerald Group Publishing Limited

ABSTRACT: Loss and damage induced by catastrophic earthquakes have significant impacts not only on the disaster-affected area's economy but also on other regions outside the disaster area, which is adverse to regional sustainable development. The ripple effects, originate from imbalance between supply and demand in the regional economic system, can spread far beyond the region, and could have considerable impacts on other regions. The recovery measurement framework proposed by Chang (2010) was applied to evaluate the recovery process of the Wenchuan earthquake, occurred in 2008, indirect losses in and outside the disaster areas from this quake were analyzed. The results show that, for worst-hit region, the recovery time need more than three years, but it has a blooming trend in other regions surrounding the disaster-hit areas just after this quake. These analytical results may be used to propose risk management strategies in the recovery and reconstruction periods in the following years and also for indirect economic loss estimation models' design.

ABSTRACT: After the Wenchuan Earthquake, the Chengguan express railway was built to improve reconstruction efforts in seismic areas. Due to the low passenger flow in this area, the scales of the passenger stations are relatively small. However, it is still difficult to organize the space of the stations as a result of financial limitations in seismic areas. The entire line was elevated and will be operated as part of the transit system in the Chengdu municipality, making it more difficult to organize transportation. Taking the Pengzhou passenger station as an example, the function and the traffic demand forecast of the station area is studied, and a method to organize the transportation is also presented. In conclusion, it is proven that the key point is to make good use of the space under the elevated line. Based on this, several suggestions are made regarding how to plan the area of transportation space and manage the microcirculation system. © 2012 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: This article discusses the post-disaster urban resilience design framework in the case of post-disaster urban reconstruction in Sichuan after the Great Sichuan Earthquake (also known as the Wenchuan Earthquake) in May 2008 in China. The focus is on three main aspects of post-disaster urban reconstruction: sociospatial coherence, temporal continuity, and multistakeholder integration and communication. Critical interpretation of the government-guided reconstruction reveals that reconstruction was limited to the generic production and implementation of top-down planning. From the perspective of urban resilience, and through an alternative design scenario developed in this research, this article highlights an urban resilience design framework based on post-disaster development in the Sichuan city of Dujiangyan. By identifying the deficiencies of the governmental reconstruction where in many aspects resilience has not been considered, and by proposing the alternative where resilience has been considered to develop a better living, this research seeks to integrate urban resilience as a key aspect in the Sichuan reconstruction and as essential for developing the post-disaster city towards a more coherent, sustainable, and integral urban future. © 2012, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: The Ms 8.0 May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake triggered tens of thousands landslides over a broad region in the Longmen mountain area, west of the Sichuan basin. The widespread landslides have caused serious casualties and property losses, and will poses a great threat to post-earthquake reconstruction. One of main solutions to the landslide hazards is avoidance of higher danger areas. For the purpose, it is directed to prepare a landslide susceptibility map. A spatial database, which inventoried 16,277 landslides, was developed by interpretation of multi-temporal and multi-resolution remote sensing images (Aerial imagery, Cartosat1, ALOS and ASTER satellite imagery, etc.). While the landslides scattered in the region, covering an area of about 100,000 km2, they were highly concentrated in certain areas with special geomorphic and geologic settings. The correlation between landslides distribution and the influencing parameters including distance from co-seismic fault, lithology, slope gradient, elevation, PGA, distance from drainage, were analyzed by statistical tool and the weight of each parameter was determined using a binomial logistic regression model. The result indicated that slope gradient and distance from co-seismic faults have the most significant impact on co-seismic landslide. Distance from drainage and elevation have a more significant contribution than lithology and PGA. Landslide susceptibility was mapped based on spatial overlay analysis using ARCGIS software. The study area was classified into five categories of landslide susceptibility: Very low, low, medium, high and very high. The high and very high susceptibility zones make up 15.6% of the total study area mainly along the co-seismic fault. The susceptibility map is expected to be a major guidance at the planning stage in the rebuilding process. © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: Objective To investigate the rebuilding status of community health service (CHS) system after Wenchuan earthquake in Mianzhu, improve service ability and provide data for better reconstruction of CHS system after natural disaster. Methods The interview was conducted with local health system officials, and self-designed questionnaire for face-to-face interview was distributed to 508 community residents in Mianzhu who were selected by convenience sampling. Data entry and statistical analysis were completed using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and SPSS 16.0 respectively. Results A total of 508 questionnaires were distributed, and then 486 questionnaires were retrieved effectively (response rate 95.7%). The analysis on 486 respondents in CHS after rebuilding showed the rate of respondents with health files rose from 20.1% to 43.8%, the rate of having regular health check-up rose from 7.4% to 46.7%, the rate of health education rose from 20.1% to 39.7%, the rate of chronic disease monitoring rose from 0.9% to 35.4%, the rate of knowing referral pattern rose from 15.7% to 51.2%, the rate of propaganda for disaster relief rose from 33.6% to 58.6%, and the rate of doing disaster emergency response exercise was 21.8% currently. 62.3% of residents chose CHS on the first visit. The satisfactory degree to CHS rose from 45.4% to 76.1% after earthquake. Both popularization of regular health check-up and propaganda for disaster relief were major factors with influence on residents' satisfaction to CHS (P<0.001, P=0.010, respectively). Conclusion The residents' satisfactory degree to the rebuilding status of CHS system is encouraging. It is necessary to strengthen the popularization of regular health check-up and propaganda for disaster relief in order to improve the quality of community health service.

ABSTRACT: Confined masonry with constructional columns and ring - beams was adopted during the reconstruction of the rural and suburban areas of Sichuan Province after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Based on the results of the sample tests of building material such as clay brick, cement mortar, steel and concrete in reconstruction and the analysis of the characteristics and features using Solid65 elements in ANSYS, the shear property of joints in masonry structures under different compression stress (cr / fm) was numerically simulated. Comparing the experimental results with the numerical ones, the proposed values of the shear transfer coefficients for open and closed crack of Solid65 elements for simulating masonry structures were given. The seismic performance of confined masonry walls (strengthened by constructional column and ring-beam, etc. ) and unconfined masonry walls with different compression stress (cr / fm) under low cyclic load were discussed. Results show that, under monotonic loading, in comparison with unconfined masonry walls, the confined masonry walls have better performance in incipient crack, ultimate load and ductility;and under low cyclic loading, the energy dissipating ability of confined walls are better improved. The results can be referenced in seimic design of masonry.

ABSTRACT: Disaster loss estimates are helpful for managing post-disaster reconstruction and for designing disaster-risk mitigation strategies. However, most of these estimates in China merely consider direct losses, and only a few include indirect economic losses. As the most destructive earthquake since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Wenchuan Earthquake that occurred in 2008 resulted in direct economic damages reached Chinese Yuan (CNY) 845 billion (US $124 billion). The aim of the study was to estimate indirect economic losses caused by the Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province through the Adaptive Regional Input-Output (ARIO) model, which can reflect disaster-related changes in production capacity, ripple effects within the economic system, and adaptive behaviors of economic actors. The results showed that indirect economic losses in the production and housing sectors were estimated at 40% of the direct economic losses, i. e., approximately CNY 300 billion; moreover, the model predicted an 8-year reconstruction period. Several factors contributed to these losses, including significant damages to key sectors, financial constraints on reconstruction, post-earthquake investment instability, and limits in reconstruction capacity. Active government support policies post-earthquake are a useful strategy to mitigate the adverse economic impact of an earthquake in developing countries. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: A devastating Ms8. 0 earthquake struck Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, a historical county in Sichuan Province, southwest China, which affected more than half of China. This article makes a comparative study on the pre-earthquake prevention and post-earthquake reconstruction of 14 world-famous earthquakes in the last 100 years, generalizes the various problems in the process of recovery and reconstruction and analyzes the reasons for the enormous damage caused by these earthquakes. Through theoretical research and field investigation on post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction, the meta-synthesis pattern has been summarized and developed. Its ideological foundation is meta-synthesis methodology, concrete expression is Wuli-Shili-Renli three-dimensional approach, and practical realization using an integrated framework. Taking post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction as a complicated systematic project, from the vertical perspective, the whole process can be roughly divided into the phases of transitional recovery and comprehensive reconstruction. While from the horizontal perspective, each phase should have its own support systems. From an investigation of the systematic planning and comprehensive implementation, it can be concluded that post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction has made remarkable achievements over the past 3 years. Since disasters continue to threaten humanity around the world, especially climate-induced extreme weather events, other countries could formulate applicable integrated programs for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, taking the Wenchuan experience as a reference. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: The situation of geological disaster prevention and control in our country is very serious. The application of remote sensing technique in geological disaster monitoring has been more than 30 years, and which has got many successful experiences. Remote sensing technology applications has shown enormous potential in investigation, evaluation, forecast and warning, and relief aspects of geological hazard research, and has been more and more attention to, for remote sensing technology is an high technology means with the ability of big range, all-weather, and dynamic monitoring the spatio-temporal changes of disasters. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake disaster, remote sensing technology played a huge role in the emergency response of the earthquake damage. But it has also exposed some problems that urgent needs to solve, the most critical problem of which is lacking of fast and efficient methods for disaster information extraction from remote sensing image data. This problem is also the key technical problems needs to solve and improve in the work of remote sensing application for geological hazard emergency investigation and evaluation. An interactive interpretation method platform based on Grab Cut segmentation was proposed in this paper, and used in interaction extraction of geological hazard information from remote sensing image. Based on ArcGIS Engine second development environment and in the. net framework, the interactive interpretation method utilize Grab Cut segmentation algorithm was developed. Because of Grab Cut image segmentation algorithm exploiting the texture and edge features, using this method can obtain ideal interpretation results and better improve interpreting efficiency, with less interactive steps. © 2011 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: The fractional vegetation cover (Fvc) can be characterized by strong temporal dynamics that need to be considered for environmental recovery assessment in the Wenchuan earthquake disaster area. This study is to test the capacity of satellite remote sensing images in estimating fractional vegetation cover in the Sichuan disaster area. Two different spectral mixture analysis methods including N* and N*2 transformed from NDVI are applied for fractional vegetation cover estimation using Landsat TM image. High-resolution fractional vegetation cover production from airborne images is used for validation. The result shows that N* has the non linear relationship with airborne fractional vegetation cover values in this study area and N*2 takes a better performance (R2=0.993). In total, retrieved Fvc values from Landsat TM image have a strong relationship to those from airborne image, and can be used in environmental dynamics assessment in the Wenchuan Earthquake disaster area. © 2011 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to discuss the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in China, during the Wenchuan earthquake and the participation of NGOs in natural resource management after the disaster. We focus on NGOs working in the area of environmental protection and examine their roles, performance, and coordination with the government. In addition, we observe their long-term planning for post-disaster reconstruction, and analyze their management and their role in work related to ecological restoration after the disaster. This analysis illustrates that the collaboration of NGOs in earthquake relief and post-earthquake reconstruction contributes greater flexibility to public resource management, thus illustrating the benefits of a complementary relationship in disaster management between the government and the non-governmental sector. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 is really a catastrophe. It almost destroyed everything, especially for those students studying in the classrooms at that time. As thousands of children had no time to escape, they were buried under collapsed floor slabs and walls. Due to the lesson of Wenchuan earthquake, Chinese Government put the reconstruction of schools as the emphasis of reconstruction after earthquake and put forward the highest demands for school construction. The key problem at present, however, is how to build earthquake-resistant, perdurable, energy-saving and sustainable schools with local restricted conditions of economy and technology. Focusing it and combining with International Solar Building Design Competition, we advanced a design concept of "low cost solar utilization" and collected design schemes of the competition, the subject of which is rebuilt-design of Yangjiazhen School in Mianyang. Later top awarded scheme is optimized and added with some of passive solar technology such as arrangement of viewable wetland and adoption of passive ventilation, planted roof, dual-layer insulation roof, shading board combined with heat collector and moisture isolation floor with air layer from the ground. The application and implementation of low cost solar buildings strategies has provided not only an easy and comfortable environment for study but a new design thoughtfulness concerning rebuilt-buildings and schools after earthquake.

ABSTRACT: Using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technique and remote-sensing images and aerial photographs collected from the Wenchuan earthquake region, this chapter analyzes the occurrence of geo-hazards and their correlations with the distance from the co-seismic fault, slope steepness, elevation, and rock type. Our findings show that the geo-hazards triggered by earthquakes are distributed along co-seismic fault and rivers. Specifically, geo-hazards tend to concentrate in areas near the hanging wall of co-seismic fault more than in those near the footwall. The slope's steepness is also a key factor deciding the development of quake-induced geo-hazards, since most of the latter are distributed at the mountain areas within the range of 20-50°. In addition, geo-hazards are found to have a close relationship to the elevation and micro-landform and that thin ridge, isolated or full-face space mountains are most sensitive to seismic waves, and thus have a striking amplification effect on geo-hazards. Lastly, we suggest that the above findings may serve as an important basis for the reconstruction of earthquake-hit mountain regions. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

ABSTRACT: Based on the damage assessment and strengthening scheme of the full-scale model which is the three-floor frame-supported reinforced concrete masonry short-leg shear wall structure, the strengthened model is tested using the substructure pseudo-dynamic testing method. The applicability of the proposed strengthening technique for the building damaged by earthquake is discussed. Thus, the seismic performance of the strengthened model is proposed to seek the strengthening technique for the structure damaged by earthquake, and it provides important reference for the post-disaster reconstruction after Wenchuan earthquake.

ABSTRACT: Numerous landslide that provided abundant material for the mobilization of debris flows were triggered in the Mozi gully on the right bank of Mingjiang River in response to the M8.0 Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008. Following the earthquake, debris flows occurred during July through September of 2008 and again in September of 2009. Five of these events blocked the Mingjiang River. This paper estimates the volume of landslide material contributed to the valley by comparing remote sensing images before and after the quake, and analyzes the resultant landslide dams to estimate the volume ume of material necessary to block the channel. Return periods of debris flows with varying peak discharges are estimated based on empirical formulas and field surveys of the valley. © 2011 Casa Editrice Università La Sapienza.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 produced large amounts of loose material (landslide debris) that are still present on the steep slopes and in the gullies. This loose material creates an important hazard as strong rainfall can cause the development of devastating debris flows that will endanger the resettled population and destroy the result of reconstruction efforts. On 14 August 2010, a total of 21 debris flows were triggered by heavy rainfall around the town of Yingxue, located near the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake. One of these debris flows produced a debris dam, which then changed the course of the river and resulted in the flooding of the newly reconstructed Yinxue town. Prior to this catastrophic event, debris flow hazard had been recognized in the region, but its potential for such widespread and devastating impacts was not fully appreciated. Our primary objective for this study was to analyze the characteristics of the triggering rainfall and the sediment supply conditions leading to this event. Our field observations show that even small debris flow catchment areas have caused widespread sediment deposition on the existing fans. It is concluded that the whole of the area shaken by the Wenchuan earthquake is more susceptible to debris flows, initiated by localized heavy rainfall, than had been assumed earlier. The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the conditions leading to catastrophic debris flow events in the earthquake-hit area. This is essential for the implementation of proper early warning, prevention, and mitigation measures as well as a better land use planning in this area. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

ABSTRACT: The middle reaches of the Bailongjiang River in southern Gansu province is one of the frequent geo-hazards areas and also the most damaged areas induced by 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in China. Based on the information of secondary geo-hazards investigated by Gansu Provincial Department of Land Resources, the situation, risk and distribution characteristics of the earthquake-induced geo-hazards in study area have been analyzed. The analytical results showed that the situation of the disaster was not only related to the earthquake itself and its geological environments but also to human activities. The situation of the disaster and the potential risk are much more serious on both sides of rivers, roads, and the adjacent area of towns and villages. The 5.12 earthquake-induced geo-hazards appeared in large scale, dense distribution, serious disaster situation and higher risk in the downstream areas of many flowing basins with relatively higher population density and much frequenter human activities. These study results could be significance with some scientific basis to the post-disaster reconstruction and the prevention of secondary geological disasters. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: The highway in earthquake region suffered serious damage during Wenchuan's Earthquake in 2008. In all projects of post-disaster reconstruction, the reconstruction of highway and making highway work once again are prerequisite. There are a plenty of rock fall, dangerous rock, landslide, and debris flow sections along the highway between epicenter areas Wenchuan County to Li County. Among the post-disaster reconstruction of the highway, efficiently solvement of these disaster or potential disaster is one of geotechnical engineering topics. Phyllite rock occurs in large number along the highway but is defective fillings. This kind of material if not made full used, it will be able to lead to filling shortage and environmental disruption. How to treat it as a resource for roadbed fillings is the second of the important geotechnical engineering topics in the highway reconstruction. There are many narrow sections along the highway, and Inside Mountain is not stable. Common anti-skating retaining wall is not fit the severe condition because of its basement dug being harmful for mountain slope steady. How to pass this kind of sections is also bottle neck technique. The above technical problems are analyzed and the relevant solutions are proposed. So the troubles are solved efficiently and the highway is open to traffic on schedule. The terms of settlement provide reference for similar highway reconstruction projects. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

ABSTRACT: In the rapid urbanization of rural western China, a variety of long-standing housing typologies are being replaced with energy consuming brick-concrete structures that have little connection to vernacular traditions. To improve this situation, this paper proposes an ecologically sensitive alternative, based on a case study of the design and construction of 44 new dwellings in Daping Village, Sichuan Province, after that area was devastated by the May 12, 2008 earthquake. We propose that this eco-approach may represent a generalizable approach for sustainable development of vernacular architecture in western China. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake caused the heavy losses in relation to a number of valuable historical and cultural cities in the disaster areas. A comparison to the experiences concerning prevention and reduction planning systems applied in the advanced countries found that the lack of similar ideas before the earthquake contributed one of the main factors to the losses. A further review of the whole post-disaster reconstruction planning system and a field survey affirmed that the protection of the historical and cultural cities was specified in principle, but, in practice, the special protection planning was ignored and the protection endeavor was needed. Therefore, some objective suggestions and opinions regarding historical and cultural city planning and construction were inferred from the viewpoints of disaster prevention and reduction. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

ABSTRACT: Confined masonry with tie columns and ring-beams was adopted during the reconstruction in the rural and suburban areas in Sichuan Province after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. Based on the results of the sample tests of building material such as clay brick, cement mortar, steel and concrete in reconstruction and the analysis on the characteristics and features using Solid65 elements in ANSYS, the shear property of joints in masonry structures under different vertical load (σ/f <inf>m</inf>) is numerically simulated. Comparing the experimental results with the numerical ones, the proposed values for the shear transfer coefficients for open and closed crack of Solid65 elements for simulating masonry structures are given. The seismic performance of confined masonry walls (strengthened by tie column and ring-beam, etc.) and unconfined masonry walls with different stress condition (σ/f <inf>m</inf>) under low cyclic load are discussed. Results show that, under monotonic loading, confined masonry walls have better performance for displacement and load corresponding to the occurrence of the first crack as well as for the ultimate load and ductility, although the energy dissipating ability of unconfined walls under low cyclic loading increases with vertical load (σ/f <inf>m</inf>) at low stress level. The results demonstrate that confined walls are greatly enhanced by strengthening measures such as tie column and ring-beams. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: Banqiao school building had to be demolished for rebuilding because of severe damage induced by liquefaction following the 2008 Wenchuan Ms 8.0 Earthquake. The mechanism of the building damage and the characteristics of liquefied soils were investigated by trench, borehole drilling, and Dynamic Penetration Test. The detailed field investigation and in-situ tests show that: (1) The Banqiao school building suffered more severe damages than its surrounding buildings from the liquefaction rather than inertia force of shaking during the earthquake; (2) The subsurface liquefied soils are gravelly soils at the depth of 3.0 to 6.1m, which are significant different from the ejected fine sands; (3) It is unreasonable to regard gravels as non-liquefiable soils and a new procedure for gravels liquefaction evaluation need to be developed. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

ABSTRACT: According to chaos theory, through the waiting time series of aftershocks of Wenchuan earthquake, and the phase space reconstruction, the reconstruction parameters were determined by the application of mutual information and Cao method, and the characteristic quantities as correlation dimension, maximal Lyapunov index and the Kolmogorov entropy were calculated. All the results indicate that there is an obvious chaotic characteristic in the waiting time series of aftershocks of Wenchuan earthquake which is resulted from evolution of the non-linear chaotic dynamic system. Finally, the chaotic behavior of waiting time series of aftershocks and its source were discussed. The research gives a reference to further study on the complexity and evolutionary law of the waiting time series of aftershocks of Wenchuan earthquake.

ABSTRACT: From one of the worst catastrophes of the century - Wenchuan earthquake, the environmental reconstruction effects of social organizations are evaluated in the paper. Social organizations are always engaged in spreading knowledge and mobilizing the public, so as to accumulate social capital for environmental reconstruction. Some social organizations will assess the environmental impact of the disaster, and undertake ecological programs. In the future, China's domestic social organizations are supposed to accelerate their process of roletransformation from "propagator" to "advocator", and step towards the way of "check and balance" by means of public participation. Social organizations should carry out the strategic measures focusing on their responsibility of environmental improvement, and promote the experts and think-tank to provide professional services. What is more, it is significant for social organizations to communicate with the government agencies and try to construct the legal and political environment in favor of the development of social organizations, and thus establish their cooperative relationship. © 2011 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: One of the more recent movements in China's policy for periurban planning and development is the pursuit of town and country integration (cheng xiang yi ti hua). The officially reframed approach to planning suggests possibilities for the official reconsideration of developmental practice, but entrenched conditions of governance, land, environmental and developmental policy, and the planning profession itself constrain these possibilities. Perhaps no other context in China illustrates these constraints more dramatically than the reconstruction effort underway in Sichuan following the earthquake of May 12, 2008. Cultural, environmental and economic differences among settlements in the earthquake zone vary widely, and local and national leaders frequently mention the opportunity the recovery presents for innovative and sustainable development, but the cataclysmic nature of reconstruction investment, and the extremely rapid and construction-dominated approach to recovery has prevented planners from considering local conditions or alternative approaches. If the official earthquake response has served to propel urbanization along pre- existing trajectories, local geographical, historical and cultural conditions nevertheless assert themselves, even if informally. The uniquely dense, dispersed and agriculturally productive Chengdu Plain has already shaped a national discourse on urban-rural relations. The expansion of Chengdu's urban region into the narrow valleys and minority ethnic settlements across the Longmen Mountains presents new and unpredictable challenges for considering how city and country are related. © Pacific Affairs.

ABSTRACT: Field investigation revealed that tunnel structures were seriously damaged in the Wenchuan earthquake, seriously affecting disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Traditional anti-seismic technology can not guarantee the safety of tunnel structures. This paper presents a study of the damping model of tunnel shock absorption layer by using wave theory. The calculation formula of tunnel damping in the axial direction was derived, and the thickness, elastic modulus and stiffness of shock absorption layer, and the effect of seismic input frequency on damping are studied. Through laboratory model test, the damping effect is proved. The results may provide reference for earthquake-reduction design of tunnel structures in highly seismic areas.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake of May 12, 2008 triggered large numbers of geo-hazards. The heavy rain on 13 August 2010 triggered debris flows with total volume of more than 6 million cubic meters and the debris flows destroyed 500 houses and infrastructure built after the Wenchuan Earthquake. The study area Qingping Town was located in the northwestern part of the Sichuan Basin of China, which needs the second reconstructions and the critical evaluation of debris flow. This study takes basin as the study unit and defines collapse, landslide and debris flow hazard as a geo-hazard system. A multimode system composed of principal series system and secondary parallel system were established to evaluate the hazard grade of debris flow in 138 drainage basins of Qingping Town. The evaluation result shows that 30.43% of study basins (42 basins) and 24.58% of study area, are in extremely high or high hazard grades, and both percentage of basin quantity and percentage of area in different hazard grades decrease with the increase of hazard grade. According to the geo-hazard data from the interpretation of unmanned plane image with a 0.5-m resolution and field investigation after the Wenchuan Earthquake and 8.13 Big Debris Flow, the ratio of landslides and collapses increased after the Wenchuan Earthquake and the ratios of extremely high or high hazard grades were more than moderate or low hazard grades obviously. 23 geo-hazards after 8.13 Big Debris Flow in Qingping town region all occurred in basins with extremely high or high hazard grades, and 9 debris flows were in basins with extremely high hazard grade. The model of multimode system for critical evaluation could forecast not only the collapse and landslide but also the debris flow precisely when the basin was taken as the study unit. © 2011 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: 512 Wenchuan earthquake had a surface-wave magnitude Ms8.0, which caused high rate collapse of building near the trace of surface rupture and induced large number of casualties. Characteristics of the earthquake fault distribution, motion form and that of the surface rupture, typical earthquake disaster are analyzed in this paper. To avoid the tragedy replay, a setback distance should be determined in reconstruction along the trace of surface rupture and urban regional construction. Based on the dislocations on the rupture point, the width of the surface rupture and the width of building total collapse originated from field investigation, the relationships among them are established and setback distance is determined. Influence of a on the non-causative fault at the same zone is also discussed. To know the influence, the geometric and kinetic characteristics of faults, material properties of fault gouge and the location of the faults are key factors in the analysis. © 2011 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the construction and services of the community health service system in Shifang, as well as the satisfaction of community residents with the community health services and the post-disaster emergency response capability of the community hospital, so as to provide decision-making suggestions on better reconstruction of the community health service system and improvement of its post-disaster emergency response capability. Methods: There were 4‰ of community residents in Fangting town were selected by convenience sampling for a face-toface interview using a questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors of residents' satisfaction with community health services. Results: A total of 250 questionnaires were conducted for face-to-face interviews, and 246 ones were retrieved (response rate 98.4%). Residents' understanding and satisfactory degree of the community health service were 41.1% and 36.6%, respectively. Health education, medical expenses and medical insurance were the main factors influencing the residents' satisfactory degree of community health services (P=0.050, 0.001, and 0.001). The proportions of disaster/disaster prevention education, exercises of post-disaster contingency plans, and psychological intervention as well as rehabilitation for residents were 37.4%, 10.6%, and 12.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Community health services have not been widely accepted by community residents, and the satisfactory degree is low. The residents' understanding and adaptation can be improved by strengthening the community health service propaganda. Strengthening health education, improving the quality of services, controlling costs, and introducing medical insurance reimbursement mechanism can increase the residents' satisfactory degree. Including disaster emergencies into basic tasks can strengthen the emergency response capability and then provide guarantee for the residents' health. © 2011 Editorial Board of Chin J Evid-based Med.

ABSTRACT: The reconstruction in the area of Wenchuan Earthquake strives to be eco-friendly and recalls the question of how green. Built environment, which is reconstructed according to the green of eco-architecture, must contribute more positively to the planet and the pleasure of place as well as answering the sustainable demands of comfort. To address both technic and poetic issues in eco-architectural practice, in the design proposal for a Rural Sunshine Primary School located at Barkam County of Sichuan Province, low technologically, sensory experience of sustainable strategies is widely introduced to reinforce the meaning of green building and encourages the children in disaster area to make friends with nature and future. Three interactive issues, eco site plan, sustainability strategy and green environment, are introduced as the core concepts in the design, while the children in disaster area comfortably and sensorily experience daylighting, ventilation and thermal performance of green building. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: Based on the field investigation for secondary geological hazards induced by 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake, the types of geological disasters during or after earthquake are analyzed in this paper. The main secondary geological hazards are rock fall and collapse, landslide, debris flow, dammed lake, sand liquefaction and so on. The development and distribution rules of secondary geo-hazards, with a long-term sustainability and a formation of hazard chains, are of relation with earthquake fault zone, and consistent with seismic intensity. The buildings located in secondary geo-hazards areas with a high risk are damaged severely, thus the site selection for post-earthquake reconstruction and related geotechnical engineering issue are discussed, which are useful in reconstruction of Wenchuan earthquake area. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: To perfect the emergency disposal and post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction of the landslide lake, based on the natural and social property, seven indexes were chosen to constitute the risk evaluation system of landslide lake, which included landslide lake scale, composition makeup of landslide dam, landslide dam height, rainwater-collecting area, population density, economy density and psychology panic degrees. Then the risk evaluation of nine landslide lakes reduced by Wenchuan Earthquake was made based on generalized entropy method. The result showed that the social property indexes have an obvious effect on landslide lake risk, so the social property risk factor should be paid more attention in the emergency disposal and the post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Natural disasters cause serious damage to businesses in the stricken areas and greatly affect survivors' psychology and behaviors. Based on data from 206 survival employees in 33 affected firms in Wenchuan Earthquake, this study analyzes the impact of natural disaster on absenteeism, job satisfaction, and job performance of survival employees. Results indicate that after the earthquake, survival employees' absenteeism and job satisfaction (including intrinsic, extrinsic, and general job satisfaction) decrease significantly, but their task performance, contextual performance, and overall job performance improve significantly. Employees' learning and innovative performance have no significant change in comparison with that before the earthquake. The authors thus suggest that the affected businesses need to communicate with the survival employees actively, focus more on job security, compensation and working conditions, in order to maintain these employees' job satisfaction. In addition, enterprises outside the affected areas should give priority to the recruitment of the survival employees given the same conditions, because it is beneficial to both the employing enterprises and the reconstruction of affected areas. © 2011 Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: Assessment of population carrying capacity is a key task in the reconstruction planning of areas struck by disasters, in which the precision of estimation is required. This study developed a decision-making model for estimating the population capacity of the involved townships and cities in the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake based on the assessment of the suitability for reconstruction of the areas. Through analysis, arable land resources were argued to be the critical constraint of population capacity in these areas. Then, the spatial differentiations of the post-quake development conditions across different regions were analyzed with respect to their natural environments, socio-economic development and quake damages. The expected levels of urbanization, family incomes and income structures, output levels of land, and the reliance of agricultural population on arable land were estimated by different regions. With these parameters, the population capacities of the involved townships and cities in three scenarios were estimated. The total population capacity of the entire areas is abundant compared with the actual post-quake population; however, the status of over-population substantially varies across space. It was suggested to put the emphasis of post-quake resettlement policy on those counties where earthquake had been the main causes of over-population. In the Full Recovery Scenario, three mountain counties were identified including Wenchuan, Beichuan and Maoxian, with a total over-population of about 100,000 people. © 2011 Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: The suitability evaluation of population and settlements spatial layout in the mountainous areas is an important basis on which the scale of population and settlement after Wenchuan Earthquake is determined. Based on the statistical data of field research, this paper chooses 1264 towns in 51 counties as the scope of evaluation, selects eight indices in the evaluation index system which includes post-disaster population scale, population density, urbanization rate, the percentage of migrant workers, death rate by earthquake, the percentage of minorities, elevation-slope integrated terrain and comprehensive geological condition. Besides, this paper uses AHP supported by entropy technique and fuzzy membership function model to calculate the suitability evaluation index and then divides the disaster areas into five types: highly suitable area (area accounted for 11.03%), relatively highly suitable area (15.29%), moderately suitable area (29%), less suitable area (30.08%) and unsuitable area (14.6%). According to the result of suitability evaluation, this paper puts forward several suggestions for the reconstruction as follows: the urban system and the building of new countryside should be guided by the suitability evaluation subareas; post-earthquake reconstruction avoids zones near Longmenshan fracture and high-mountain gorge areas as far as possible; the scale of population and settlement should not exceed the capacity of resources and environment; population should be resettled as close as possible by considering adequately the heterogenicity and homogeneity of regional nationality culture characteristics; densely resettle the people at plains and hilly areas; encourage the migrant workers settle in the working place with their families voluntarily; and urban system reconstruction such as industry layout and important projects of lifeline should be guided by the spatial layout suitability evaluation. © 2011 Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008, an Ms 8.0 earthquake occurred on the Longmen Mountain Fault in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China. Based on the reported earthquake intensity and surface displacement distributions in the affected areas, the damages to buildings in high-intensity areas were investigated. This paper focused on the buildings in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County. The unreasonable structural design and structural type were found to be the main reason for the damages of buildings. The geological environment problems of the residential area were also discussed. This research would provide valuable reference for scientific earthquake-resistance design and reconstruction after earthquake disaster. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the experiences of two mountain communities-Yinchanggou and Donghekou in the Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, where Yinchanggou's tourism economy and natural park system was destroyed and Donghekou was buried by a landslide. We conducted research surveys on both the communities, interviewing survivors and local officials, and observed the destruction/reconstruction, geological, and living conditions. We suggest that protracted educational processes be put into place so that mountain communities possess a knowledge base to consider long-term disaster prevention when building the economy in the fragile and geo-hazardous conditions of the Longmenshan. The Donghekou Earthquake Ruins Park is an exemplar of turning disaster into sustainable, safe development for small mountain villages. © 2011 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan of China was the result of quake-triggering along an active several hundred-kilometer-long fault. The subsequent landslides and debris flow geohazards are dominating factors in planning post-disaster recovery and rebuilding. This paper presents recommendations for coping with large-scale geohazards and disasters. It is essential to establish a national emergency management system for huge scale catastrophe and earthquake precursor identification. Town construction must be kept away from active faults, especially to improve town safety in areas with high risk of seismic and geological hazards, and it is important to improve geohazard investigation and remediation for mountain areas that have become loosened by earthquake activity. Geological factors must be better understood to reduce direct and secondary risks and effects of earthquakes. Site selections for public relocation require clear and informed analysis of geological and social risk reduction, so that relocation, infrastructure reconstruction, and commemorative relic-sites can be protected. © 2011 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we use the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake as a background event for analyzing and applying the principles of site selection of emergency shelters for a disastrous earthquake. Based on field investigations and analyses of remote sensing imagery, we identified the distribution of active faults and the locations of co-seismic surface rupture zones-areas in which buildings are at risk of intensive damage. It is important that emergency shelters are located outside of such vulnerable areas. One of the lessons learned from the Wenchuan Earthquake is that high fatality rates occur in areas without life-saving shelters. The principles that underlie the selection of emergency shelter sites are as follows: (1) keep far away from active fault zones, with the distance depending on the characteristics of the fault, including the nature of hangingwall and footwall structures; (2) disaster-mitigation strategies should be developed as a multi-dimensional system for the management of natural hazards, human activities, and urban expansion, involving keeping away from vulnerable slopes and establishing an early-warning system; (3) the accessibility of mountainous regions must be considered, including establishing small emergency shelters that house large numbers of people and covering regions with an uneven distribution of villages; and (4) government and law-making agencies in China must establish new earthquake design codes for buildings, emphasizing the importance of public facilities (including schools, collective welfare institutions, and medical facilities) as emergency shelters during disastrous earthquakes. The site-selection process requires an interdisciplinary approach involving seismologists, engineers, environmental and social scientists, emergency management personnel, and government officials. The parameters upon which the above principles are based can be qualitatively determined, thereby providing a valuable initial database for further quantitative analysis. The preliminary results and knowledge gained in the present paper can be used as a decision-making tool to support the government in earthquake-recovery and reconstruction programs. We also discuss practical examples of site evaluation in regions that suffered heavy damage during the Wenchuan Earthquake. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

ABSTRACT: Bad weather conditions usually limit the acquisition of optical remote sensing images, while all day and all weather synthetic aperture radar (SAR) shows the ability of providing timely remote sensing data for emergency response and rescue works after earthquake. Because SAR is sensitive to the surface changes caused by earthquake, the modified electromagnetic behaviour by geological disasters and the collapse of buildings can be recorded in SAR images as backscattering intensity changes. Absolute radiometric calibration was performed to SAR products to derive backscattering coefficient sigma nought from image digital number (DN). Based on change detection methods, Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) data and TerraSAR-X data acquired for the Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake were used to extract earthquake damage information. This study revealed that landslides showed stronger backscattering and barrier lakes showed lower backscattering in post-earthquake 10. m ALOS PALSAR images comparing to pre-earthquake, and collapsed buildings showed lower backscattering compared to un-collapsed buildings in 1. m TerraSAR-X image. Results showed that SAR data with different spatial resolutions are useful for different earthquake damage information extraction: medium spatial resolution SAR data, e.g. 10 m ALOS PALSAR data, were efficient for secondary geological disaster extraction; high-resolution SAR data, e.g. 1. m TerraSAR-X data, with the help of ancillary GIS data or high-resolution optical data, could be used to extract building collapse information in urban areas. This study indicates that SAR remote sensing data can provide earthquake damage information at early emergency stage and assist the field surveying, further damage assessment and post-earthquake reconstruction. © 2010.

ABSTRACT: Time is considered extremely urgent in China's Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction. However, little research has been undertaken on estimating the time needed for reconstruction in China, especially for this specific reconstruction. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the time-cost relationship for the Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction. Both the Bromilow's time-cost (BTC) model and the Elman network (EN) model have been developed to predict the time of Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction projects. Data have been obtained from 72 completed construction projects in the six cities that were seriously affected by the major Wenchuan earthquake. The result from the BTC model has been compared with that from the EN model to determine which one is more accurate. The results show that the EN model provides a more accurate time prediction for Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction than the BTC model does, though the BTC model is more suitable for application in practice. It is also shown that the proposed models are both useful for estimating the duration of reconstruction projects. © 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.

ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional (3-D) visual simulation system of outburst flood propagation is developed for the Tangjiashan barrier lake in the Wenchuan earthquake stricken areas based on VC + + and OpenGVS. Several key techniques, including methods of dynamic modeling, algorithm for searching river borders, and designation of data interactive interface between the hydrodynamic model and visual simulation platform, are used in the system. This system generates a virtual environment for the earthquake areas by using software Terra Vista and Multigen Creator to integrate the digital elevation model, remote sensing images and vector data, and finely models the key water conservancy projects and the barrier lake regions. By integrating the two dimensional shallow water model and the on-line monitoring data, it achieves the real-time 3-D visualization of remote sensing images and the spatial distribution of barrier lakes. It presents a visual dynamic simulation of the water impounding and the outburst flood in the Tangjiashan barrier lake. Conclusions show that the system can visually display the details of water impounding and can realize 3-D visual simulation of the outburst flood dynamic behaviors, and that it can also represent the flow field in its virtual environment. Thus it provides a useful tool for accuracy test of hydrodynamic model, and also a new approach or reliable technical support to flood control and warning for the downstream cities. © Copyright.

ABSTRACT: Debris flows have caused serious human casualties and economic losses in the regions strongly affected by the Ms8. 0 Wenchuan earthquake of 2008. Debris flow mitigation and risk assessment is a key issue for reconstruction. The existing methods of inundation simulation are based on historical disasters and have no power of prediction. The rainflood method can not yield detailed flow hydrograph and does not meet the need of inundation simulation. In this paper, the process of water flow was studied by using the Arc-SCS model combined with hydraulic method, and then the debris flow runoff process was calculated using the empirical formula combining the result from Arc-SCS. The peak discharge and runoff duration served as input of inundation simulation. Then, the dangerous area is predicted using kinematic wave method and Manning equation. Taking the debris flow in Huashiban gully in Beichuan County, Sichuan Province, China on 24 Sep. 2008 as example, the peak discharge of water flow and debris flow were calculated as 35.52 m3·s-1 and 215.66 m3·s-, with error of 4.15% compared to the measured values. The simulated area of debris-flow deposition was 161,500 m2, vs. the measured area of 144,097 m2, in error of 81.75%. The simulated maximum depth was 12.3 m, consistent with the real maximum depth between 10 and 15 m according to the field survey. The minor error is mainly due to the flow impact on buildings and variations in cross-section configuration. The present methodology can be applied to predict debris flow magnitude and evaluate its risk in other watersheds inthe earthquake area. © 2011 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: An integrated geospatial information system was established immediately after Wenchuan Earthquake, which struck on 12 May 2008, in order to support disaster relief, damage assessment, and post-earthquake restoration and reconstruction. Built upon China"s national Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), the geospatial information system comprised three essential components: geospatial data acquisition and updating, cartographic support, and ad-hoc spatial decision support systems (SDSSs). Administrative boundary maps, topographic data, and orthophotos were provided to rescue operators and disaster staff immediately after the earthquake. Updated data were provided by acquiring large-scale new images and creating image maps covering the affected area. Numerous thematic maps were produced to accommodate the requirements of government officials, relief staff, disaster researchers, and local municipalities. Three ad hoc spatial decision support systems were designed and developed to facilitate rescue operations, damage assessment, and reconstruction planning. The availability of this geospatial information service has substantially improved the efficiency of operational disaster management in Wenchuan Earthquake. This study demonstrates the usefulness of a national SDI for disaster management. © Gi4DM 2011 - GeoInformation for Disaster Management.All right reserved.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake that occurred on May 12, 2008 caused more than 80,000 deaths or missing people, hundreds of thousands of injuries, damages to several million farmer houses, more than ten million people suffered from the disaster, and direct economic losses reached more than 800 billion Yuan, which was the strongest destructive earthquake disaster since the new China was established. The emergency rescue response after the Wenchuan earthquake enormously stimulated all Chinese people's patriotism and compatriot emotion. All levels of governments underwent severe tests in ability for disaster rescue, emergency response and social management, and their emergency rescue policies formulated had good effect, receiving praise from people around the world. After the emergency rescue period passed, a more arduous task is to reconstruct the hometown. In September 2008, the State Council issued "General Plan on Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction" (hereinafter referred to as "Plan"). As the document of rehabilitation and reconstruction of the disaster areas, "Plan" defined the goal, principle and specific requirements of reconstruction to disaster areas, and proposed a three year, 1 trillion yuan plan to complete the reconstruction of Sichuan, Gansu and Shanxi, to bring about "employment within every household, social security for everyone, enhancement of facilities, development of the economy, and improvement to ecology," and to raise the living conditions and social and economic development level in the disaster areas to achieve or surpass the level before the disaster. With the progress of reconstruction work in disaster areas, in March 2009, the 2nd Session of 11th National People's Congress also proposed that every effort be made to complete the reconstruction task within two years instead of three, and that by September 2010, the tasks as formulated in the "Plan" be completed.

ABSTRACT: On May 12 in2008, the big earthquake in western of Sichuan had been torn the earth and had grounded each complete happy family, then henceforth the disaster area people have laid down the sadness in heart which forever is unable to dissipate. Two years later, we entered the dark earth, seeing the great miracle of Communist Party of China led "three year reconstruction duty, two years basically complete ", where Five-Starred Red Flag flutters with the wind.Under extremely painful memory's we gradually expose the smiling face, where new cities village are standing in the green hill and blue water.And a big Eastern Dragon prepares to soar, which has been complied with the archaism "all things ready, only owes the east wind".This stretch of world have a heavy replacement face after two years, as a youth of China who never step into the land, I am very complex, which seems to be the countless words, actually compared to the palatial mountain, rapids of Minjiang River and retrieval the vitality in the face of the people.With the feeling, I wrote this article.From an economic perspective, the article examines the thought of wings before takeoff, and perhaps little correlation with the field trip, but I could not suppress this confusion which is only a brief analysis in order to have some reference for the really taking off and sustainable development of the economy. © 2011 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: A lack of resources for post-disaster housing reconstruction significantly limits the prospects for successful recovery. Following the earthquake in Wenchuan, China, in May 2008, housing reconstruction was not immune to resource shortages and price inflation. Difficulties in sourcing materials and labour considerably impeded recovery. This paper provides evidence of the resourcing bottlenecks inherent in the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction process. Its aim is to present an integrated planning framework for managing resources for post-disaster housing rebuilding. The results are drawn from in-field surveys that highlight the areas where stakeholders need to concentrate effort, including revising legislation and policy, enhancing capacity for rebuilding in the construction industry, strengthening the transportation network, restructuring market mechanisms, and incorporating environmental considerations into overall planning. Although the case study presented here is country-specific, it is hoped that the findings provide a basis for future research to identify resourcing constraints and solutions in other disaster contexts. © 2011 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: After the Wenchuan earthquake, large numbers of NGOs entered the quake area and provided large amounts of social services. Analysis of survey responses from 149 NGOs has allowed three basic models to be identified among NGOs engaging in post-quake reconstruction: (1) university social work stations; (2) civil organizations; and (3) government-embedded organizations. Because reconstruction is a long-term task, adjustments to current strategies may merit consideration. First, the disproportionate weight currently placed on heavy infrastructure over social services and society-building must be rebalanced. Second, all of society-and especially the government-should recognize the enormous significance and the enormous role NGO services have played in post-quake reconstruction. Third, cooperative arrangements should be explored between grant makers like the government, enterprises, and foundations and NGOs. Fourth, trial introduction of people-run non-enterprise units to the quake area should be explored. Fifth, relations between NGOs and the government should be smoothed to ensure that NGOs have a legal space in which to conduct their social work. Sixth, NGOs must put more work into capacity building. © 2011 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.

ABSTRACT: Based on the experience of recent violent earthquakes, the limits of the methods that are currently used for the definition of seismic hazard are becoming more and more evident to several seismic engineers. Considerable improvement is felt necessary not only for the seismic classification of the territory (for which the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment-PSHA-is generally adopted at present), but also for the evaluation of local amplification. With regard to the first item, among others, a better knowledge of fault extension and near-fault effects is judged essential. The aforesaid improvements are particularly important for the design of seismically isolated structures, which relies on displacement. Thus, such a design requires an accurate definition of the maximum value of displacement corresponding to the isolation period, and a reliable evaluation of the earthquake energy content at the low frequencies that are typical of the isolated structures, for the site and ground of interest. These evaluations shall include possible near-fault effects even in the vertical direction; for the construction of high-risk plants and components and retrofit of some cultural heritage, they shall be performed for earthquakes characterized by very long return periods. The design displacement shall not be underestimated, but neither be excessively overestimated, at least when using rubber bearings in the seismic isolation (SI) system. In fact, by decreasing transverse deformation of such SI systems below a certain value, their horizontal stiffness increases. Thus, should a structure (e.g. a civil defence centre, a masterpiece, etc.) protected in the aforesaid way be designed to withstand an unnecessarily too large earthquake, the behaviour of its SI system will be inadequate (i.e. it will be too stiff) during much more frequent events, which may really strike the structure during its life. Furthermore, since SI can be used only when the room available to the structure laterally is sufficient to create a structural gap compatible with the design displacement, overestimating this displacement may lead to unnecessarily renouncing of the use of such a very efficient method, especially in the case of retrofits of existing buildings. Finally, for long structures (e.g. several bridges or viaducts and even some buildings) an accurate evaluation of the possibly different ground displacements along the structure is required (this also applies to conventionally built structures). In order to overcome the limits of PSHA, this method shall be complemented by the development and application of deterministic models. In particular, the lack of displacement records requires the use of modelling, once they are calibrated against more commonly available velocity or acceleration records. The aforesaid remarks are now particularly important in the P.R. China and Italy, to ensure safe reconstruction after the Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008 and the Abruzzo earthquake of April 6, 2009: in fact, wide use of SI and other anti-seismic systems has been planned in the areas struck by both events. © 2010 Birkhäuser.

ABSTRACT: The availability of resources allows for the rapid and cost-effective delivery of a construction project. For rebuilding programmes after a disaster, the need for better understanding of factors affecting resource availability and their potential impacts on resourcing outcomes can be of crucial importance to effective reconstruction performance. Drawing on an empirical survey in China following the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the critical factors affecting resource availability for post-quake reconstruction of housing are identified. Resource availability in a post-disaster situation is not only associated with (1) project-related factors such as quantity of resources required, project schedule, project resourcing plan, and resource procurement lead time; and (2) factors related to the reconstruction practitioners, including competency of resourcing manager and qualification of contractor; but is also related to (3) factors external to reconstruction projects including legislation and policy, general economic environment, and resource transportation cost and method. To address these factors, a multi-sector approach is needed for reconstruction decision makers and practitioners. A planned procurement strategy in the implementing contractors, a range of training initiatives for small and medium businesses, along with augmented regulatory, economic and transport infrastructure systems are likely to improve resource availability for post-disaster rebuilding projects. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake (magnitude Ms = 8.0) of 12 May 2008 triggered widespread and large-scale landslides over an area of about 50 000 km2. A study was undertaken to determine the primary factors associated with seismic landslide occurrence. An index-based approach used to assess earthquake-triggered landslide hazard in the central part of the Wenchuan earthquake area affected is described. Slope gradient, relief amplitude, lithology, bedding-slope relations, fault proximity, stream proximity, and antecedent rainfall are recognized as factors that may have had an important influence on landslide occurrence. The assessment of the influence of each of these factors is presented through use of a series of maps showing areas of low, moderate, high, and very high landslide hazard. Areas identified as having "very high and high landslide hazard" were located along the earthquake-source fault and along both banks of the Jian River. The role of rainfall is very significant for future landslide occurrence in the earthquake area. The results of this study will assist decision makers in the selection of safe sites during the reconstruction process. The maps can also be used for landslide risk management in the study area.

ABSTRACT: During Wenchuan Ms 8.0 earthquake, masonry buildings have suffered severely damaged and collapsed, causing heavy casualties and huge economic losses. In this paper, based on seismic site survey data, some new phenomena and characteristics of earthquake damage in comparison with the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, such as seismic damage of large space buildings, inclined or "X" shaped crack in wall between windows or spandrel wall, stair damage, falling of precast reinforced concrete slab and horizontal crack at the bottom of structure, are discussed in detail. Then, the impact factors of seismic capacity of masonry building in Wenchuan earthquake, including construction age, seismic fortification, bay size, floor (roof) form, layer number, thickness of bearing wall are analyzed, respectively; Finally, some recommendations on seismic design and reconstruction of masonry structure by the seismic design code are proposed.

ABSTRACT: On Monday, May 12, 2008, a devastating mega-earthquake of magnitude 8.0 struck the Wenchuan area, northwestern Sichuan Province, China. The focal mechanism of the earthquake was successive massive rock fracturing 15 km in depth at Yingxiu. Seismic analysis confirms that the major shock occurred on the Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault and that aftershocks rapidly extended in a straight northeast-southeast direction along the Longmenshan Fault zone. Fatalities approaching a total of 15,000 occurred, with a significant number resulting from four types of seismically triggered geohazards-rock avalanches and landslides, landslide-dammed lakes ("earthquake lakes"), and debris flows. China Geological Survey has identified 4,970 potentially risky sites, 1,701 landslides, 1,844 rock avalanches, 515 debris flows, and 1,093 unstable slopes. Rock avalanches and landslides caused many fatalities directly and disrupted the transportation system, extensively disrupting rescue efforts and thereby causing additional fatalities. Landslide-dammed lakes not only flooded human habitats in upstream areas but also posed threats to potentially inundated downstream areas with large populations. Debris flows become the most remarkable geohazards featured by increasing number, high frequency, and low triggering rainfall. Earthquake-triggered geohazards sequentially induced and transformed to additional hazards. For example, debris flows occurred on rock avalanches and landslides, followed by landslide-dammed lakes, and then by additional debris flows and breakouts of the landslide-dammed lakes and downstream flooding. Earthquake-induced geohazards occurred mainly along the fault zone and decreased sharply with distance from the fault. It can be anticipated that post-earthquake geohazards, particularly for debris flows, will continue for 5-10 years and even for as long as 20 years. An integrated strategy of continuing emergency response and economic reconstruction is required. The lesson from Wenchuan Earthquake is that the resulted geohazards may appear in large number in active fault regions. A plan for geohazard prevention in the earthquake-active mountainous areas is needed in advance. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

ABSTRACT: Tunnel structure was seriously damaged in the earthquake region at 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake. It had seriously affected the disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Therefore, higher seismic behavior of tunnel structure is required. Twin-arch double-deck tunnel is a new tunnel structure. The study on seismic behavior of twin-arch double-deck tunnel is very little. Relying on twin-arch double-deck tunnel of Longhui road in Zigong city, its seismic behavior was studied. It shows that the tunnel structure can meet the force requirements before the seismic load is applied; Although the unfavorable changes of structure stress has happened after application seismic load, tunnel structure still met the force requirements. Research results provide references for design and application of twin-arch double-deck tunnel. © 2010 ASCE.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008 a magnitude of MW 8.0 earthquake hit Wenchuan in China. The earthquake engineering specialists' reaction to the earthquake can be divided into two stages. At the first stage, immediately following the event, they spent day to day in the field surveying the damage to buildings and evaluating the performance of structures. Based on those results, the second stage for the post-quake reconstruction started. Earthquake engineering experts devoted themselves to designing the new buildings and strengthening the damaged buildings. In the design of new buildings, new national codes were published with higher protection levels of earthquake ground motions in the quake-hit area and sustainable development concept was applied by using recycled materials of building waste to avoid further damages to environment in the area of strong earthquakes. In the retrofitting of the damaged buildings, energy dissipation devices are more acceptable than before by decision-makers for its high performance. This paper introduces engineering cases of energy dissipation technologies applied in the new and retrofit project. It is shown that, through the applications of these advanced technologies, the structural performance is effectively enhanced. © 2010 by ASME.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster reconstruction is likely to suffer resource shortages and supply disruptions. The devastating Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May 2008 in China served as a typical example. After the catastrophe, resource problems such as price escalation and market inflation posed a significant challenge to Chinese policy makers and reconstruction team. Based on field surveys, the study attempts to examine the Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction practice and identify the most vulnerable resources along with their resourcing impediments inherent in the reconstruction process. The research findings show that at the early stage of reconstruction, labour and materials such as brick, cement, steel and aggregate were the most needed yet vulnerable resources. Procurement of these resources was mainly hindered by (1) reconstruction schedule and speed, (2) the impacts of the 2008 global financial crisis, (3) inadequate local transportation capacity, (4) dysfunction of the construction market, and (5) insufficient engagement of local construction industry. While the interventions and measures Chinese government adopted after the earthquake seem to be able to deal with resourcing bottlenecks in a short time; different efforts to reduce the impacts of these five areas are needed with a view to expediting longer-term disaster recovery and reconstruction. © 2010 Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan Earthquake triggered more than thousands of landslides, which seriously threatened the lives and properties of local people in the disaster areas. Even though emergency investigation and monitoring have been carried on after the earthquake in order to make sure the reconstruction work well, there is still need an effective way to manage the considerable disaster information immediately. This paper presents a preliminary study of a WebGIS-based approach to the representation, organization and access of geohazard information- including map & data query, statistic, spatial analysis and early warning. The system is not only to assist in the decision-making process for administrator to prevention disaster, but also to provide a platform for the more end-users with limited GIS knowledge to understand the geohazard and a cost-saving solution to access up-to-date spatial datasets customized for a specific topic. ©2010 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Base isolation is one of the most promising alternatives among the structure control methods. In recent decades, base isolation has been seriously considered for civil structures, such as buildings and bridges, subjected to ground motion. Seismic isolation technique had been applied successfully abroad, especially in Japan, and buildings with seismic isolation design had good performances in the earthquakes before. Seismic isolation technique has developed well in recent years in our country. After the Wenchuan earthquake, some departments revised the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings and relaxed some restraint of seismic isolation design. Using the isolation design correctly, the buildings can get a good capability of seismic resistance. It is a good choice for the reconstruction of the important buildings.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 led to shattering deformation of a large number of mountains. The potential damage is serious. To knowing well its characteristics and regular patterns and summarize its dangerous methods will provide a powerful foundation for the reconstruction after the earthquake, hazard resistant and reduction, and so on. Combined with a large number of investigation examples and vibrator platform simulation researches for Qingchuan in Sichuan, (Qingchuan is one of harder-hit area and has more typical slope shattering distribution and development) , this paper analyses the foundational formation mechanics on a trial, and generalizes the development and distribution characteristics of the slope shattering deformation systematically. Based on this, it analyses the internal and external causes which influence the shattering slope stability and puts forward the preliminary grading evaluation criterion for risks. The shattering slopes have distinctive characteristics and laws different from common landslides, and the forecasting risk method is other than common landslide, too. So it suggests that the risk evaluation method should be studied systematically combined with the emergency regulatory engineerings which have been promoted totally.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake has not only induced a great deal of collapse and landslide immediately, but also reduced intensity of rock and soil mass in drainage basin, which makes them more liable to be eroded, so that abundant solid matter is provided for formation of debris flow. Activity of debris flow is frequent in disaster area after the earthquake, and great losses have been caused. Evaluation on degree of risk of debris flow ditches is necessary condition for post-disaster reconstruction. Research of evaluation on fatalness of debris flow has acquired quiet great progress at present, and is applied extensively in practice of disaster prevention and reduction. However, rock and soil mass caused by earthquake becomes more incompact, features of barrier dam shaped by earthquake are difficult to be expressed by routine parameter, consequently method for evaluation on degree of risk of debris flow established under general conditions is confined in application of evaluation of degree of risk of debris flow in disaster area after the earthquake. Three important parameters i.e. increment of solid matter after earthquake, seismic intensity and scale of barrier dam are selected in this paper, and evaluation method on increase coefficient of degree of risk of debris flow is put forward after earthquake based on design flow of debris flow. By validation of calculation of 9 typical debris flow ditches in disaster area, increase of degree of risk of debris flow in May 12th disaster area after earthquake can be assessed by this new method rapidly and precisely. © 2010 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: The earthquake Ms=8.0 at Wenchuan county of Sichuan Province in China happened on May 12, 2008. In the strong seismic area, engineering structures were badly damaged in various grades or collapsed. This paper focuses on the description and analysis of the damage phenomena of engineering geology, buildings and lifeline engineering structures based on the on-site investigation of the earthquake damage. Finally, some valuable lessons learned from this big earthquake are presented including the suitable building structures should be chosen for important buildings to resist the seismic action in the strong earthquake area when the building is designed; the concept design and applications of energy-absorbed and vibration-reduced techniques should be paid attention; the comprehensive safe evaluations for the existing buildings should be done in the strong seismic active area; the seismic designs and researches on bridges and pavement should be emphasized, and the seismic design and research on facilities of communication, and power and water supplies should be regarded as key issues to make the facilities expedite for disaster rescue after earthquake.

ABSTRACT: On 12 May 2008, the M<inf>w</inf> 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake occurred along the Longmen Shan fault in the northwestern Sichuan province of China, resulting in huge damage as well as loss of human lives. Rapid estimation of the rupture process is essential for emergency response. In this paper, the relative back-projection method based on nonplane-wave array technology was applied to reconstruct the rupture process of this earthquake. First, the principle of the relative back-projection method was briefly introduced. Then the method was used to obtain the rupture process using the broadband data of 16 stations from the Australian National Seismic Network from the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Management Center. The results showed that this earthquake ruptured mostly unilaterally along the Longmen Shan fault. Its rupture time was about 98 s, rupture length was about 290 km, and mean rupture velocity was about 3:0 km=s. Starting from the initial rupture point, epicenter (31.00° N, 103.32° E), the great earthquake ruptured northeastward along the Longmen Shan fault with two major energy releasing peaks. One was located about 50 km northeast of the epicenter at about 20 s after the earthquake began and the other about 140 km northeast at about 50 s, which coincided with macrodamage at those two places.

ABSTRACT: The 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (M<inf>w</inf> 7.9) produced a 240-kmlong surface rupture zone along the Beichuan fault and a 72-km-long rupture along the Pengguan fault, which are two of the three subparallel secondary strands of the northeast-striking Longmen Shan thrust fault system in the province of Sichuan, China. Among a total of twenty coseismic surface ruptures surveyed in the field, seventeen are less than 40 m wide, about half of them are 10-30 m wide, and only 3 are over 40-59 m wide. Many buildings sitting directly on the path of the surface ruptures were either completely demolished or severely damaged, including those with a frame or reinforced concrete structure. Other buildings a short distance from the rupture zones were subjected to only minor or no damage. These observations reinforce the use of fault setback zone in the postquake reconstruction of Wenchuan. Considering the crustal shortening of the inverse faulting that triggered the Wenchuan earthquake and uncertainties in width survey of the surface ruptures, we estimate the setback distance of 25 m for the seismogenic faults, which is comparable to the 15-30-m setback distance used in the seismically active regions of California. It is therefore recommended that construction of public buildings and residential structures should not be permitted within the 25-m setback zone of the seismogenic faults in the postquake reconstruction of Wenchuan and its surrounding areas.

ABSTRACT: Collapsed houses in city are one of the most important destructions after earthquake. The area, amount and rate of collapsed houses are the most essential data sources to decide how to reconstruct in the disaster area after earthquake. It is often difficult to access high-resolution remote sensing satellite images in time only with satellite sensors in the area. For example, after the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12 2008, high-resolution satellite remote sensing images had not been acquired after a few days in which all actions have to be taken for disaster mitigation and relief. With various aviation flight platforms, the aerial remote sensing images are obtained in time at a relatively short period of time with better weather in the earthquake zones. So how to rapidly identify and detect the damage building is the most important problem. In this paper, through the texture changes of aerial remote sensing images, the method of housing collapsed automatically determination is expounded. The approach for detecting the damaged buildings after earthquake is different to visual identification of the post-event aerial images. The approach utilizes the texture difference between the buildings and the collapsed buildings. It is based on an idea that if a building collapsed, it will produce more complex texture. After we calculate the texture complexity parameter, the building may has collapsed if the texture complexity parameter is beyond threshold. After Wenchuan earthquake, the aerial remote sensing images are testified by this way in Beichuan, Wenchuan and Anxian. The rate of houses collapsed and the ratio of the edge of texture are strongly correlated. If the rate is beyond 0.15, the house will collapse over eighty percent, and if the rate is under 0.10, the percentage drops. Therefore, through the ratio of the edge of pixels and the number of regional architecture of the region pixels, to estimate the rate of the houses collapsed is feasible and effective.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake disaster reconstruction planning is a typical government investment project, the performance evaluation of which is conducive to improve the management ability of government of managing disaster reconstruction projects and enriches the finance expenditure decision-making reliance of disaster reconstruction projects. There may be dependence and feedback among factors of disaster reconstruction performance evaluation. In this study, analytic network process (ANP) was adopted to model a multi-criteria disaster reconstruction performance evaluation indices system with dependence and feedback. Due to complexity in evaluating disaster reconstruction performance, it is difficult for decision-makers to provide exact numerical values for the factors. Therefore, a fuzzy ANP method was taken to calculate the weights of each factor of the model, which can solve problems in an uncertain condition effectively. © 2010 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: From Wenchuan earthquake, one of the worst catastrophes of the century, this paper analyses its impact on the environment and evaluates E-NGO's functions of environmental reconstruction. E-NGOs are always engaged in spreading knowledge and mobilizing the public, so as to accumulate social capital for environmental reconstruction. Some E-NGOs will assess the environmental impact of the disaster, and undertake ecological programs. In the future, China's domestic E-NGOs are supposed to accelerate their process of role-transformation from "propagator" to "advocator", and step towards the way of "check and balance" by means of public participation. E-NGOs should also carry out the strategic measures focusing on their responsibility of environmental improvement, and promote the experts and think-tank to provide professional services. What is more, it is significant for E-NGOs to communicate with the government agencis and try to construct the legal and political environment in favor of E-NGO's development, and thus establish their cooperative relationship. ©2010 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Dujiangyan-Wenchuan highway, the serious quake-hit area, was selected as the investigative object to assess the risks of collapses and landslides caused by "5 · 12" Wenchuan earthquake along the highway, and the sensitivities of collapses and landslides to their impact factors were analyzed by the method of information acquisition analysis. Then, based on remote sense image interpretation and field investigation data, the risks of these geo-hazards were assessed by GIS. The results show that collapses and landslides easily occurr under the following natural conditions: (1) slope gradient: > 35°; (2) slope aspect: east, southeast and south; (3) surface roughness: > 1.15; (4) the distance to the main fault: 5-20 km; (5) land use type: forest, woodland and shrub forest; (6) stratum and lithology: proterozoic diorite, plagiogranite, basalt and andesite, carboniferous limestone and marl and Silurian gray green phyllite and limestone, especially the proterozoic basalt and andesite. The hazard assessment results were given in terms of overlaying the information value of each factor, and then the assessment results were divided into five grades: high intense risk zone, higher risk zone, moderate zone, light risk zone and no risk zone. It is found that the moderate, higher and high intense risk zones account for 70.34% of the study area, the high intense risk zone accounts for 19.15%, and no risk zone only accounts for 11.81%. The high intense and higher risk zones mainly distribute in the areas from Yingxiu to Caopo River and the light risk zone and below light risk zones mostly locate in the section of Caopo River-Wenchuan. The presented results provide a scientific basis for the prevention, elusion and mitigation of geo-hazards and support the recovery and reconstruction of Dujiangyan-Wenchuan highway.

ABSTRACT: By means of a series of large-scale shaking model tests, the mechanism of side slope's superficial dynamic effect under earthquake disturbance and its anchoring prevention were experimentally studied to the typical pattern of small collapse-slide and shallow soil damage along Dujiangyan to Yingxiu section of national highway No.213 in Wenchuan earthquake region. Using a 2.1 m height single-side model slope built by sand blended with clay and excited by three typical earthquake waves of 0.253g and 0.471g accelerations separately, the different quantitative dynamic response characteristics between the superficial and deep position of slope body were analyzed comparatively. These response analysis included magnification factors of acceleration, dynamic strain value and predominant frequency corresponding with three height prototype single-side slopes of 2.1 m, 10.7 m and 21.5 m. The result showed that the accelerate response of slope body's surface was approximately 1.4 times of the deep position averagely, and predominant frequency of vibration was increased around 45 percent accordingly. In particularly, it presented significant dynamic shear strain of superficial stratum and dynamic tension-compression strain between the superficial and deep position, which reached 6.5×10-3 and 2.2×10-3 respectively and averages about soil's failure limit strain. Due to the stress superposition of the stripping action conducted by tension-compression strain of incompatible response movement between superficial and deep position and the kneading action deduced by shear strain, slope's superficial failure or damage were occurred. Furthermore, with comparative shaking table model tests between anchored slope and natural slope, the mechanism of superficial failure prevention effect of anchoring structures was preliminary studied. It was found that, anchoring structures could remarkably reduce superficial accelerate response by about 15 to 35 percent and increase natural frequency by 39 percent compared with the original natural slope at slope top in experiments. Anchoring prevention mechanism included as follows: firstly, earthquake resonant interaction was reduced due to higher natural frequency of anchored slope; secondly, the incompatible movement was diminished by anchoring structures which joined the slope's superficial and deep position into a whole; thirdly, stripping action induced by stress wave reflection on slope's surface was counteracted by the anchoring force. These results can provide references for road reconstruction and hazards prevention after earthquake.

ABSTRACT: The remote sensing image and survey results after the earthquake showed that, the Wenchuan Ms8.0 Earthquake had induced more than 5 528 collapses and landslides in the Wenchuan County with the area of about 4083 km2. Based on GIS, the statistical relationships between the collapses and landslides distribution and the factors, such as the lithology, distance to faults, slope gradient, elevation and others, were analyzed. Susceptibility of triggering factors of Wenchuan Earthquake was analyzed by the means of slope certainty factors (CF). The most numerical intervals of each factor which are inclined to hazards were determined. The results showed that the hazards mainly distributed in the stratum of Proterozoic, Sinian and Permian with hard rock, in the slope of more than 40 degree, within a 10 km buffer zone to the active faults and 6 km to the no active faults. The collapses and landslides distributed mainly in the area with the elevation 1000~2500 m and relative height between 600~1000 m. The mainstream of the Min River absolutely controlled the hazard distribution. The conclusions indicated that the factors have the effect of seismic wave propagation in media and distance effect. There is significant different numerical interval which inclined to collapses and landslides in lithology and slope between induced by earthquake and by rainfall.

ABSTRACT: The debris flow hazards followed the Wenchuan earthquake have been the key restricting factor to the restoration and reconstruction in Beichuan County. The developing degrees evaluation of debris flow is of great significance to the reconstruction. Using ArcGIS technology and multi-factor superposition method, the developing degrees of debris flows in Beichuan County followed the Earthquake was evaluated based on the field survey and remote sensing interpretation. Landslides density, formation lithology, seismic intensity, slope gradient, surface roughness, and average annual precipitation were selected as evaluation factors and each of them was subdivided into five grades. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the weights of factors and quantify each grade. On that basis, multi-factor weighted superposition evaluation model was constructed and used to evaluate the developing degrees of debris flow in the study area. According to the evaluation results, the study area was divided into three areas: high growth area, medium growth area and low growth area. The high growth area concentrated on the hanging wall of Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault and distributed along Leigu-Qushan-Chenjiaba townships, accounting for 6.6% of the study area. The medium growth area located on both sides of the high growth area and mainly on the hanging wall of Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault, accounting for 22.5% of the study area. The rest belonged to low growth area, accounting for 70.9% of the study area. It was suggested that human activities should avoid debris flows in the high growth area and debris flow disaster evaluation should be conducted in the medium growth area to ensure no disaster threat, or must avoid debris flow, too.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 caused numerous collapses, landslides, barrier lakes, and debris flows. Landslide susceptibility mapping is important for evaluation of environmental capacity and also as a guide for post-earthquake reconstruction. In this paper, a logistic regression model was developed within the framework of GIS to map landslide susceptibility. Qingchuan County, a heavily affected area, was selected for the study. Distribution of landslides was prepared by interpretation of multi-temporal and multi-resolution remote sensing images (ADS40 aerial imagery, SPOT5 imagery and TM imagery, etc.) and field surveys. The Certainly Factor method was used to find the influencial factors, indicating that lithologic groups, distance from major faults, slope angle, profile curvature, and altitude are the dominant factors influencing landslides. The weight of each factor was determined using a binomial logistic regression model. Landslide susceptibility mapping was based on spatial overlay analysis and divided into five classes. Major faults have the most significant impact, and landslides will occur most likely in areas near the faults. Onethird of the area has a high or very high susceptibility, located in the northeast, south and southwest, including 65.3% of all landslides coincident with the earthquake. The susceptibility map can reveal the likelihood of future failures, and it will be useful for planners during the rebuilding process and for future zoning issues. © 2010 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ABSTRACT: In order to solve the difficulty in real-time acquisition of remote sensing data in multi-cloud regions, acquisition and digital processing methods of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) remote sensing images were discussed on the basis of the characteristics of high image resolution and good flexibility of low-altitude UAV remote sensing, and a three-dimensional image visualization process was discussed. For the reconstruction planning and design needs of Wenchuan earthquake-hit areas, the model designed for the reconstruction was introduced into the environment of a three-dimension geographic information system directly. The experimental results show that compared with satellite remote sensing data, UAV remote sensing images can provide rich geometric and semantic information in three-dimensional visualization. Combination of a design model and three-dimensional terrain scene can reproduce the design results in real-time, avoid the limitation and one-sidedness of the thinking brought about by two-dimensional graphics in a complex environment, and improve the true expression of design effects.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake of 8.0 magnitude at Richter scale hit large region of Sichuan, China on May 12, 2008. It was a terrible disaster that caused great casualties and serious damages, and largely destroyed natural mountainous ecosystems in the earthquake-hit areas. Since the restoration of those damaged mountainous ecosystems plays an important role in ecological security in this region, it is argued that the reconstruction of those earthquake-damaged ecosystems should be given greater attention before and during the ecological recovery process. Yet, to date, little effort has been made to review and summarize the major unresolved questions relating to the ecosystem recovery after the earthquake. Focusing on the priorities for future research in this subject, based on the study and comparison of literatures we identified and examined four important research questions that need to be addressed, even two years after the earthquake. All these questions need to be resolved before significant progress can be made in habilitating the damaged natural ecosystems, and perhaps more importantly, the results provide very useful information for cost-effective restoration decision making and policy planning for the earthquakehit areas.

ABSTRACT: Field investigation showed that: 21 expressways and 16 national and provincial roads were damaged during 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake. 24 tunnels (20417 running meters) were damaged in this earthquake. It had seriously affected the disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. The traditional aseismic technology can not guarantee the safety of the tunnel structure. Therefore, by analyzing the earthquake disaster character and reason of tunnel, a damping model of setting shock absorption layer in the supporting system of tunnel is established. According to this damping model, shock absorption layer stiffness, the input of frequency of seismic and shock absorption layer damping on damping effect of tunnel are researched. Through three-dimensional numerical simulation and indoor model test, damping effect of this damping model is proved. Research results provide references for aseismic design of tunnel structure in a highly seismic area.

ABSTRACT: This article draws on the ongoing reconstruction in Wenchuan earthquake areas and studies how a new world of private property rights affects post-disaster reconstruction. In addition to analysing particular problems related to rural housing, urban housing and housing finance, I argue that (1) more decentralised reconstruction planning might be needed for rural housing reconstruction, which is decentralised by nature; (2) the homeowners association may not be an efficient vehicle for urban housing reconstruction; (3) writing off all remaining mortgage balances is not fair to everybody. I also discuss three general themes related to post-disaster property rights. First, post-disaster reconfiguration may be an important opportunity for major change in the property rights regime, including the decline of informal or communal property rights. Second, the reconstruction approach is path-dependent and the trade-off between liability rules and property rules depends critically on how eminent domain is executed. Third, the well known 'safe development paradox' may also have a property rights dimension. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan Earthquake with floods played a huge role in the destruction to arable land of catastrophe areas. In this paper, from the point of view of the recovery and reconstruction of agricultural production after the earthquake disaster, based on the integrated view of disaster system, an Arable Land Hazard Degree Index Model was established, which took township of Jiangyou City as the basic statistical unit. Ten indicators, such as disaster situation, pregnant disaster environment and the rebuilding pressure of arable land of the bearing disaster body, were selected, and R-type factor analysis method was used. Then supported by ArcGIS, Jiangyou City was divided into different hazard degree zones of arable land. The results showed that, among the 40 towns in Jiangyou City, there are 18 towns, accounting 45.31% of city land were severely damaged, mainly distributed in the central city western mountainous and hilly transition zone and the hilly areas, in which 7.76% disaster area could not carry on land reclamation; while there were 10 towns, accounting 22.17% of city land were moderately damaged, mainly locating in the northwestern mountains, as well as the transition zone between the mildly and severely damaged arable land area, in which 4.39% disaster area could not carry on land reclamation; and there were 12 towns accounting 32.52% of city land were mildly damaged, mainly spreading in the eastern plains and the transition zone of plains and hills, in which 0.76% disaster area could not carry on land reclamation. The results can be used to guide the cultivated land reclamation and provide scientific basis for agricultural ecosystems restoration.

ABSTRACT: Post-disaster housing reconstruction is likely to suffer project deficiencies in relation to the availability of resources. Inefficiencies in dealing with resource shortages in the aftermath of a catastrophe can trigger economic and environmental impacts on the affected areas. Based on data collected from field research in China, Indonesia, and Australia, three types of resource-led reconstruction strategies are compared: government driven, donor driven, and market driven. Conventional interventions from the Chinese government (e.g. price restrictions and discouraging profiteering to regulate the market) were unable to meet the long-term reconstruction needs after the Wenchuan earthquake (2008). Complexity inherent in both internal and external environments in Indonesia compromised donors' efforts in post-tsunami (2004) resource procurement. Market-oriented resourcing processes in Australian bushfire (2009) reconstruction are unlikely to succeed without facilitated solutions from the government and institutions. The answer to effective resource management for post-disaster reconstruction lies in the appropriateness of the responses and improvements to address resourcing challenges. The success of resourcing depends on multi-stakeholder collaboration and the development of polices, plans, and tools to allow market flexibility, donor management, and government intervention. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: The beautiful Longmenshan area is one of the main tourist attractions in Sichuan Province, China. The epicenter of a catastrophic earthquake measured at 8.0 Ms (China Seismological Bureau), occurred within this area at Wenchuan (31°01′16″N, 103°22′01″E) at 14:28 May 12, 2008 (Beijing time). The earthquake triggered numerous types of landslide transport and hazards, including soil and debris avalanches, rockfalls, slumps, debris flows, creation of barrier lakes and slope flattenings. This paper examines the landslide hazards in the Longmenshan area caused by the earthquake using remotely sensed images, mainly Beijing-1 Microsatellite data before and after the earthquake, compared to digital elevation maps and slope gradient maps, land use and vegetation cover maps. Areas of erosion and loss of vegetation were compared from pre- and post-earthquake data, from which were calculated changes in vegetated areas, bare slopes, and mass movement during the earthquake. These events occurred over altitudes from 1000 to 4000 m and on slope angles between 25 and 55°. The results show that the total area of erosion and land movement due to the earthquake increased by 86.3 km2 (19.2% of the study area). Compared with pre-earthquake, the areas of very low intensity soil erosion and moderate intensity soil erosion were respectively reduced by 3.6 km2, 24.3 km2 and 30.9 km2. On the other hand, the areas of severe and very severe intensity soil erosion were substantially increased by 45.8 km2 and 99.2 km2. In the post-earthquake stage, the bare areas (vegetation cover < 15%) have increased by 65.8 km2. Without vegetation, the denuded earthquake damaged slopes and other high risk sites have become severe erosion problems. Thus, it is essential to continue long-term monitoring of mass wasting in the denuded areas and evaluate potential risk sites for future landslides and debris flows. We anticipate that these results will be helpful in decision making and policy planning for recovery and reconstruction in the earthquake-affected area. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

ABSTRACT: Background. The association between ages and psychological impact of natural disasters has not been well characterized. A population-based study was conducted 15 months after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to assess whether elderly survivors were more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and general psychiatric morbidity. Methods. A population-based survey of 327 survivors (152 elders, 175 younger adults) was conducted in severely affected areas by the earthquake, using a multi-stage systematic sampling design. Results. Compared with the younger adult survivors, the elderly were more likely to have symptoms of PTSD (22.5% vs. 8.0%, p = 0.001) and general psychiatric morbidity (42.0% vs. 25.4%, p = 0.003). Risk factors, such as being elderly, having been in serious danger, having lost family members, and having felt guilt concerning one's death or injury were significantly associated with developing PTSD; being elderly, having family members or friends seriously injured, and having felt guilt concerning one's death or injury were significantly associated with developing general psychiatric morbidity. Utilization of mental health services is strongly associated with the decreased risk for developing both of the symptoms. Conclusion. Compared with the younger adults, the elderly survivors were more likely to develop PTSD and general psychiatric morbidity. More mental health services should be distributed to the elderly and groups at particular risk, to ensure their smooth mental health reconstruction after the earthquake. © 2010 Jia et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

ABSTRACT: With growing levels of human-activity and frequent natural disturbances throughout the world, it is increasingly important that both research and management efforts take into account the widespread landscape fragmentation and its consequences for biodiversity conservation. The magnitude 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in China caused dramatic impacts on giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) habitat in the nature reserves within Minshan and Qionglai mountains. With the combined stresses of the natural disaster and the extensive human activities during postquake reconstruction, giant panda habitat in this region may become more fragmented in the future. In order to preserve the giant panda population after the earthquake and protect the species against habitat fragmentation, this article explores a method of identifying giant panda migration corridors involving habitat suitability assessments and a least-cost path model. Focusing on postquake Wolong Nature Reserve, our results demonstrate that it contains 430.3 km2 of suitable habitat (21.1% of total area), 463.8 km2 of marginally suitable habitat (22.8%) and 1141.9 km2 of unsuitable habitat (50.1%). We further show that several giant panda dispersal corridors exist in the reserve, including four corridor groups that cross the provincial highway and five corridors that do not intersect areas of human activity. This study will contribute to management and conservation efforts in Wolong Nature Reserve and beyond after the Wenchuan earthquake. Crown Copyright © 2009.

ABSTRACT: Data from remote sensing played important roles in the rescue during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and reconstruction after the great disaster. It also has much realistic significance to implement a rapid interpretation and geological study from those data. Analysis was made on the characteristics of optical remote sensing image, such as shadows and texture, and geological and geomorphological features of the surface rupture from field investigation. The interpretation marks of the post-earthquake optical remote sensing image were concluded for the fault scarp of the great Wenchuan earthquake. Based on the optical imaging,the shadow forming and interpretation characteristics of different kinds of fault scarp were analyzed for the Wenchuan earthquake. The imaging time and the occurrence of fault scarps make a constraint on the forming of shadows and its interpretation for fault scarps. Analysis based on characteristics of imaging and rupture styles gives a new insight on the limitation in the application of remote sensing data of co-seismic surface deformation, and also a certain proposal for the emergency aerial remote sensing in the future.

ABSTRACT: A catastrophic earthquake always intensively disturbs ground strata and affects the slope stability for a long period of time. The Wenchuan earthquake not only triggered serious coseismic landslides, but also extensively accelerated the landslide activity during the subsequent heavy rains. Based on the interpretation of high resolution of aerial photographs, 1214 landslides are identified, most of which are shallow landslides, rock falls, and rock slides triggered in the high seismic intensity region of the Wenchuan earthquake near the Beichuan City and along the valleys of the Jianjiang River. A heavy rainfall on 24 September, 2008 triggered more landslides and debris flows in the central part of the area affected by the Wenchuan earthquake. The accumulated precipitation triggering landslides and debris flows is 272.7 mm in two days, while the rainfall amount and intensity recorded in this area have a return period of about 20 years. 878 new landslides in the study area of 340 km2 are identified by interpretation of SPOT images. To understand the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake on the landslide occurrence due to subsequent heavy rainfall, this study mainly focuses on the variations in the the density of coseismic landslides and following rainfall-induced landslides through aerial photographs and SPOT images. Comparison of aerial photographs taken on 18 May, 2008 (after the "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake) and SPOT images taken on 14 October, 2008 (after "9·24" rainstorm event) indicates that the landslide number in the study area increases by 42%, while landslide area increases by 46.6%, which shows the great impact of the heavy rainfall after the earthquake on the development and activity of landslides in the study area. The above study results also show that the Wenchuan earthquake affected area is particularly susceptible to landslides and debris flow occurrence after extreme rainfall events.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 had a disastrous impact, and post-disaster reconstruction of the education system has become a major issue following the exposure of the vulnerability of rural education, which highlighted the need for a number of vital mechanisms. Free education has advanced from rural areas to towns, but the balanced development of urban free education is currently stalled. A number of severe problems have been exposed; emphasising the need for the in-depth implementation of essential educational reform. China is currently formulating a National Program for Medium- and Long-term Educational Reform and Development as a plan for this educational reform. © 2010 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the living conditions and policy needs of the disasteraffected population in the Wenchuan earthquake area on the basis of a rapid needs assessment performed two months after the earthquake. The findings showed that housing and employment were the two most urgent issues. Residents who had lost their houses and land in the earthquake were willing to migrate to nearby locations. The majority of people in the earthquake area were quite satisfied with the government, and exhibited a relatively high level of trust. They also exhibited a high level of mutual trust, and proactively participated in the reconstruction of their hometowns. This high level of social capital may contribute to the recovery of the disaster area. © 2010 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

ABSTRACT: The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake caused tremendous casualties and property losses as well as a substantial need for rebuilding the affected localities in order to address housing and urban development issues for the future. China’s central government applied a national planning approach in both the emergency response and the disaster recovery phases that aims at facilitating the flow of technological assistance and financial aid from the whole country to the earthquake-stricken areas. This study reviews disaster management practices in China with an interdisciplinary analysis to see how disaster planning and management can be fit into the top-down government administration system. The Overall Plan for Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction and the City/Town System Plan for Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction, two overarching plans initiated by the central government, are evaluated by reviewing the underlying facts, goals, and actions. The plans’ merits are to be found in their incorporating hazard mitigation into disaster recovery plans and taking into account different strategies of relocation and reconstruction. The article also identifies the gap between making plans and meeting local needs, the insufficiency of public engagement in plan-making, and the negative planning impacts of competition for resources and funds. Suggestions for disaster planning and policy-making are provided with a focus on building a local disaster management system in China. © 2010, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT: Studies of earthquake-induced landslides in China using ground motion parameters have been rare. However, landslides induced by the 2008Wenchuan Earthquake in the Longmenshan area were relatively well instrumented and can be investigated using ground motion records. Analysis shows that the Newmark accumulative displacement calculated from the ground motion data recorded in a particular geological hazard zone corresponds to the hazard intensity in that zone: the larger the displacement, the more serious the geological hazard. Analysis also shows that the displacement is related to the Arias Intensity, which represents the total energy released during the earthquake at the observation site. An evaluation model of Newmark displacement calculated with Arias Intensity was constructed to estimate the subsequent slope failure resulting from the earthquake. The fact that the calculated results based on the model fit well with the distribution of actual landslides shows that this method is useful for hazard evaluation. This type of model therefore can be used as a tool for estimating regional-scale distributions of earthquake-induced landslides and their associated hazards. Furthermore, the technique is useful for evaluating applied engineering needs during reconstruction efforts in the earthquake-hit area. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

ABSTRACT: Earth observation is an effective technique that plays an important role in earthquake damage reduction and reconstruction. This paper introduces the results of dynamic analysis on monitoring and assessing heavily impacted areas affected by the Wenchuan Earthquake using remote sensing data acquired in the past 3 years from 2008 to 2010. Immediately after the disaster on 12 May 2008, the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched a project entitled 'Wenchuan Earthquake Disasters Monitoring and Assessment Using Remote Sensing Technology.' More than 400 images from 17 satellites and 20.2TB airborne remote sensing data were acquired to facilitate quick monitoring and evaluation of severely damaged areas in 14 counties. Results of the image analyses were forwarded on a timely basis to assist with consultative service and decisionmaking support. In subsequent years, in order to monitor the process of environmental restoration and reconstruction, airborne optical remote sensing images covering most of the severely damaged areas were again acquired in May 2009 and April 2010. These images were analyzed and compared along with images from 2008. Results were useful in support of further work on environmental protection and reconstruction in earthquake-damaged areas. Three typical areas were selected for illustrative purposes including Tangjiashan Barrier Lake, Beichuan County, and counties of Yingxiu and the new Beichuan. These results well demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of the utility of earth observation for disaster mitigation and reconstruction. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between Agricultural risks and rural poverty is always a central issue for anti-poverty policies designing. Natural disasters risk is a common form of agricultural risks in China. The paper estimates the extent that the natural disaster has impacted on household vulnerability in the stricken areas. To discover the different characteristics associated with vulnerability between pre-disaster and post-disaster, we regressed vulnerability against a set of geographical and household characteristics. The paper shows that although a relatively small number of household have average revenue below the poverty line after attaining the government post-disaster subsidy, a much larger number of households have a greater probability of being poor in the future. There are some different characteristics associated with vulnerability between pre-disaster and post-disaster. This research will explore the implications for the design of effective poverty reduction policy for post-disaster reconstruction in the case of Wenchuan earthquake. © 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Using evidence from the Wenchuan earthquake (12 May 2008) in China, this article examines the impact of disaster on the functioning of China's social protection system. The article examines the social protection system and the recipients of social protection. It presents four main findings: (1) the impact of the disaster on the social protection system itself was considerable; (2) the system was able to cope fairly successfully with the enormous demands created by the earthquake by a surge of resource utilisation; (3) there was an alarming rate of burnout and possible degradation in capabilities after several months, which may affect the effectiveness of the reconstruction stage, and (4) the demands of the public for perfect equality of treatment has hindered targeting of resources, but also simplified the operation at the relief stage. The article concludes with tentative proposals as to the nature of the institutional resilience expressed in the surge. © Institute of Development Studies.

ABSTRACT: This paper assesses the probability of the main stream in the Dujiangyan- Wenchuan reach of the Minjiang River becoming blocked by debris flows in response to the Wenchuan Earthquake of 12 May 2008, on the basis of analyses of remote sensing data and ground investigations. Background information of debris flow gullies was developed from field investigations and high-resolution remote sensing image interpretation, and was used to estimate the maximum discharge per unit width by means of the revised model of debris flow magnitude according to the situation after the Earthquake. Based on improved discrimination equations of river blocking induced by debris flow, 29 debris flow gullies were evaluated and classified as four probability levels: extreme high, high, moderate and low. The results show that most of the debris flow gullies were at or over moderate hazard level, accounting for 72.4% of the total area. The present results provide a scientific basis for the prevention, elusion and mitigation of debris flow hazards and will contribute to the reconstruction of an earthquake prone area. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake occurred on 12 May 2008 followed by frequent after-shocks. The earthquake suddenly caused heavy damage to roads, bridges, buildings and communication facilities. Two B4101 Citation II remote sensing airplanes from the Chinese Academy of Sciences took off to monitor the region soon after the earthquake and collected images using a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) device and an optical ADS40 sensor. Using images obtained from airborne surveys, a damage consequence chain was mapped that provided information about the type of damage and its extent. This proved to be of great help for rescue operations and after earthquake reconstructions. We present details of airborne survey, images and mapping of damages caused by the earthquake and the use of such information for a rescue operation. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

ABSTRACT: As one of the kernel parts of Assessment of Regional Carrying Capacity of the Wenchuan Earthquake Struck Areas, this study developed a decision-making model for estimating the population capacity of the involved townships and cities based on the assessment of the suitability for reconstruction of the areas. It identified the critical constraints of population capacity and analyzed the spatial differentiations of the post-quake development conditions across different regions. The expected levels of urbanization, family incomes and income structures, levels of land output, and the reliance of agricultural population on arable lands are estimated by regions. With these parameters, the population capacities of townships and cities under several scenarios were estimated. According to the status of over-population, the townships and cities were classified and relevant policy suggestions on post-quake resettlement were presented.

ABSTRACT: Disasters are traumatic events that are always incongruent with our existing cognitive structures. Immediate negative psychological impact and traumatic related psychiatric disorders are popular among survivals involving the disasters. Super-half of survivals involving the "5. 12 Wenchuan earthquake experienced the symptoms of anxiety or increased arousal. 12.59% of survivals were met with the ASD diagnosis. 21.29% of adults and 10.21 % of adolescents were met with the PTSD diagnosis 5 months after the major earthquake. Immediately negative psychological impact and high prevalence of traumatic related psychiatric disorders among survivals were confirmed. More effort should be paid on the disaster related patients in emergency department with psychiatric issues. Also, the long-term psychological service is necessary for Sichuan Post-Disaster Reconstruction Projects.

ABSTRACT: A great earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred on May 12, 2008 (Beijing Time) in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province of China. Leigu town, which adjoins Beichuan county, was the most seriously damaged place in this earthquake. The teaching buildings were destroyed severely and the earthquake disaster phenomena is very typical. In this paper, firstly, the characteristics of structures and the earthquake damage of the teaching buildings in Leigu town are introduced in detail. Secondly, their damage states are calculated by means of structure vulnerability analysis, which are used for comparative analysis with actual damage states, and the influencing factors on seismic behavior are analyzed. Finally, some reasonable suggestions on the reconstruction of teaching buildings after disaster have been given. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the frequency of natural disasters is increasing sharply, especially the seismic activities which have been reached to a new peak, such as WenChuan earthquake in China, L'Aquila earthquake in Italy. The disasters not only cause immeasurable casualties and infrastructures damage, but information and data losses, which will bring big troubles to the post-disaster reconstruction projects, since the re-collect work will be time-consuming and need unpredictable efforts. In this paper, a new disaster-recovery IT framework is proposed. The framework is combined with P2M (point to multi-points) and P2P (point to point) to form a hierarchical IT infrastructure distributed in different geographic location. It ensures the high availability for the data through the DIMM (Disaster Indexing Measurement Mechanism), which uses a scheduling model for the data backup and synchronization locally and remotely, based on the hierarchical infrastructure. Once the disaster happens, the framework can quickly regain the lost data in the area from its hierarchical structure, meanwhile the DIMM guarantees to maintain the data with high availability and avoid data losses. © 2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Accessibility of regional traffic in the worst-hit areas of Sichuan should be viewed with some concern. The difficulty of disaster relief work in May 12th Earthquake had showed unsubstantial traffic condition of the disaster area. Approach of weighted average travel time is adopted in this paper to calculate accessibility of 3 main traffic manners, i.e. highway, railway and aviation, and their integrative accessibility in 36 counties of the area, relation between integrative accessibility and regional economy development are analyzed, and suggestions are presented for reconstruction of traffic network in the area after the disaster. It is indicated that highway has the best accessibility, aviation takes second place, while railway takes the worst. Accessibility of each manner presents increase by degrees from the central city Chengdu to peripheral counties, consistent with distribution of main lines of traffic, and has logarithm relation with level of regional economy development. In order to harmonize the relation between accessibility and regional economy development, accessibility of marginal area should be enhanced with emphasis in the reconstruction after the disaster. ©2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Remote sensing image presented as one of the most effective methods to acquire the disaster information in the Wenchuan earthquake. For its technical advantages such as rapid and flexible takeoff, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) played an important role in the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake emergency relief. The UAV remote sensing image has some special characteristics contrasting with other RS image, so how to process quickly the images is the key issue. In this paper, a fast method is presented for moisacing the remote sensing images from the UAV without ground control points. The method grounds on two principles, parallel computing and digital photogrammetry. The experimental results justify the needs of uncontrolled mosaic images production for the requirements of post-disaster emergency. The mosaic images without correction by ground control points provide no geographic information, but they can provide panoramic and macro-information of earthquake-stricken areas. Then the geometric correction technique was employed to correct the panoramic mosaic images to obtain the high-precise digital orthophoto based on the pre-disaster information such as topographic maps. By using the object-oriented method for the information extraction and rapid automatic classification of the UVA remote sensing image can achieve the anticipative goals. © 2009 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.

ABSTRACT: A lot of cities' water pipelines in Sichuan Province were destroyed tremendously in the Wenchuan Earthquake. The damage refers to not only the big loss of properties and lives, but also large difficulties in the process of reconstruction in the quake areas. So the optimization on the design and construction of the cities' water supply systems becomes much more pressing. In order to carry out the optimization, the hydraulic analysis method of the water leaking pipeline network is necessary while the leakage model is a crucial clement of the method. The leakage models are discussed in detail in this paper. Firstly a new definition of the leakage area is presented. After introducing some different leakage models, a new model which can describe the leakage area variation is proposed. Then a case study is followed to validate the proposed model. For M6, M7, M8 scenario earthquake, water heads of water distribution network calculated using new leakage model and China model arc compared. The result shows that the new model could provide a better simulation of water heads decreasing effect as the increase of seismic excitation and the China model overestimates the aseismic ability of the pipeline network. © 2009 Faculty of Construction and Land Use, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

ABSTRACT: DMSP OLS is often used to identify forest fires and the development of housing area. Because of its capability to detect night time light, it is considered useful to estimate the damaged area caused by big disaster, such as earthquake which affects electric power supply. Therefore, it must be possibility that DMSP OLS data confirm the level of reconstruction after a big disaster. This study aims to evaluate the level of reconstruction of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China by using the physical data of DMSP OLS in 2008 - 2009, before and after the earthquake. We focused on the locations of stable lights which disappeared after the disaster and came up again according to the reconstruction procedure. The concentration of bright pixels shows the differences among the reconstructed areas and the reconstructing areas. The pace of reconstruction is estimated by DMSP OLS data after the earthquake. As a result, it was confirmed that the DMSP OLS data can be used to estimate the level of damages caused by the earthquake and the reconstruction process of the damaged cities, although its special resolution is coarse.

ABSTRACT: Due to the different image understanding of earthquake damage, this study tries to build up the image interpretation feature database for typical objects based on remote sensing images after Wenchuan earthquake. Based on a large amount of different sources of remote sensing imageries retrieved right after the Wenchuan earthquake, we propose the study on design and construction of remotely sensed image interpretation feature database for typical objects on earth surface influenced by the earthquake. We divide these typical objects into three categories, which are lifeline engineering, buildings and secondary disasters. And then, field investigation in the disaster area was carried out in order to acquire the corresponding photos for the typical objects. At last, for the sake of image interpretation, the description models of the selected typical objects including feature information and expertise are designed. The database is designed based Oracle database and based on internet user interface, which can be used for data query, uploading, and editing by users. Our work illustrates the importance to share the image interpretation knowledge in the database with other researchers. Copyright © (2009) by the Asian Association on Remote Sensing.

ABSTRACT: The quality of indoor thermal environment of the rural residence in the earthquake stricken area has brought lots of attention after the Wenchuan earthquake. In order to get the feature of local thermal environment and thermal sensation of local residents, and to discuss the evaluation method of indoor thermal environment in local climate condition, we have obtained the characteristics of outdoor meteorological parameters and indoor thermal environment parameters by measuring thermal environment of the rural residence (Free Running Building) and conducting investigations of subjective questionnaires about thermal sensation of the local residents for last in the countryside of western Sichuan province after the Wenchuan earthquake, and have got the indoor acceptable temperature range of the local residents by analysing the thermal sensation vote (TSV) of the residents in different thermal environment. Calculating the values of predicted mean vote (PMV) and comparing them with the values of TSV, we find that the indoor environment of local residences (Free Running Building) is harsh and the residents of this region have great thermal adaptation ability. The results also indicate that the values of PMV and TSV are not completely consistent in local climate condition, therefore the evaluation standards of indoor thermal environment should differ from different conditions, and the appraisal system of PMV should be carried on suitable revision according to different kinds of climatic conditions and crowd. Finally, we carry on simple heat preservation design of reconstruction house, and compare the indoor simulated temperature with heat preservation design with the outdoor temperature. We find that improving local residents' indoor thermal environment is effective and feasible with simple heat preservation design.

ABSTRACT: "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake occurred in western Sichuan, China on May 12, 2008. Many potential geo-hazards, induced by this earthquake, were developing. Qinglin gully had no recorders of debris flow before the earthquake and has been the most serious one after that. Based on field survey, we studied the characteristics of debris flow in Qinglin gully by using GIS technology. Results show that three large scale landslides with 0.76million m3, 0.94million m3 and 12million m3 in volume respectively, induced by the earthquake, were main sources of the debris flow. The debris flow, induced by intensive rainfall on 24 September 2008, was a large scale turbulent one. We analyzed the risk of Qinglin debris flow using the debris flow risk assessment model of momentum principle. Results illuminate that Qinglin gully has the characteristics of high frequency and large scale and severe risks after the earthquake. It was also found, even if vegetation was lush, big debris flows could occur due to background changing of disasters in quake-hit area. Consequently, the next researches should focus on potential debris flows, which is of great significance to post-disaster restoration and reconstruction. ©2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Debris flow susceptibility zonation (DBSZ) is necessary for disaster management and planning development activities in mountainous regions. This paper presents the results of a pilot study for assessing debris-flow hazards using geographic information system (GIS) techniques. The debris flow caused by earthquake in Wenchuan County was identified on the basis of remote sensing images interpretation and field investigation. In this paper, the debris flow nominal susceptibility factor method has been applied for DBSZ mapping in Wenchuan county. Relevant thematic maps representing various factors (e.g., lithology, fracture belts, earthquake magnitude, slope, aspect, relative relief, form factor, drainage areas) that are related to debris flow activity, have been generated using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The debris-flow susceptibility index of these factors above is calculated. The overall debris-flow hazard at a particular watershed may be assessed according to all DH indexes. They are classified as the very high, high, moderate and low hazard zones. ©2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: On the 12th May 2008, an earthquake with 8.0Ms shook a large area of the Sichuan Province in China. The epicenter of the devastating earthquake was located in Wenchuan, 80 kilometers west-northwest of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. A lot of scholars have used various remote sensing images and other techniques to detect the disaster. Differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (D-InSAR) is an advanced technique for monitoring large-scale terrain deformation with mm accuracy. This paper described the application of two-pass D-InSAR in mapping the co-seismic surface deformation caused by the Wenchuan earthquake including the interferometric data processing workflow and results. Chengdu region's deformation measures at roughly 140mm in our study, which is relative rather than absolute. D-InSAR applied to a terrain deformation measurement has been proven as an effective tool to detect displacements. ©2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: Post-Earthquake Reconstruction is very critical in the disaster area, in which many problems, such as urgent schedule, lack of material, fund insufficiency, technical support and so on, are raised.In order to promote the reconstruction, this paper has conducted an investigation into the present design strategy of anti-seismic building. Three main reasons led to heavy damage and the collapse of buildings are analyzed, which would make an improved design strategy. Based on the analysis above, this paper puts forward a series of design strategy of anti-seismic construction. Besides, the proposed design strategy refers to the overseas practice in the successful reconstruction in disaster area, and meanwhile considers the local natural environment and the economical condition, The proposed design strategy includes the construction plan, the location selection, the suitable technology application of earthquake resistance in different areas, the type of anti-seismic building, the application of natural materials, the standardized design of anti-seismic building provided by the architectural design unit, the use of advanced techniques, and the construction quality supervision and inspection from the government. All these factors are taken into consideration in principle of safety, economics and ecology. Thus, the Wenchuan reconstruction could be anti-seismic, comfortable, economic, ecological and environmental protected.

ABSTRACT: After Wenchuan earthquake disaster, landslide disaster becomes a common concern, and remote sensing becomes more and more important in the application of landslide monitoring. Now, the method of interpretation and recognition for landslides using remote sensing is visual interpretation mostly. Automatic recognition of landslide is a new and difficult but significative job. For the purpose of seeking a more effective method to recognize landslide automatically, this project analyzes the current methods for the recognition of landslide disasters, and their applicability to the practice of landslide monitoring. Landslide is a phenomenon and disaster triggered by natural and artificial reasons that a part of slope comprised of rock, soil and other fragmental materials slide alone a certain weak structural surface under the gravitation. Consequently, according to the geo-science principle of landslide, there is an obvious change in the sliding region between the pre-landslide and post-landslide, and it can be described in remote sensing imagery, so we develop the new approach to identify landslides, which uses change detection based on texture analysis in multi-temporal imageries. Preprocessing the remote sensing data including the following aspects of image enhancement and filtering, smoothing and cutting, image mosaics, registration and merge, geometric correction and radiation calibration, this paper does change detection base on texture characteristics in multi-temporal images to recognize landslide automatically. After change detection of multi-temporal remote sensing images based on texture analysis, if there is no change in remote sensing image, the image detected is relatively homogeneous, the image detected shows some clustering characteristics; if there is part change in image, the image detected will show two or more clustering centers; if there is complete change in remote sensing image, the image detected will show disorderly and unsystematic. At last, this paper takes some landslides at the Parry Lake as a case to implement the effectiveness of the new method in the application of landslide identification, which takes SPOT-5(Oct 10, 2003) and ALOS-AVNIR2(Sep 19, 2007) as the respective data sources of pre-landslide and post-landslide. The result shows that the method based on change detection is available of landslide information in arid area and other area where there is not obvious spectral difference between landslide mass and the background. Certainly, it will be more available of such area where there is obvious spectrum difference between landslide region and the background. © 2009 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: The May 12, 2008 M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake was one of the most costly and damaging earthquakes in recent memory. The impact of this horrific event will be felt in the Sichuan region for generations and will require hundreds of billions of dollars for recovery, rebuilding, and restoration. Vital to any community is a reliable and safe water supply and the Wenchuan earthquake damaged over 2,600 dams and reservoirs of all sizes and types in 8 provinces in China. Sichuan province experienced the majority of the damage to their dams and reservoirs with 1,996 dams experiencing some form of damage, which represents 30 of the dams in Sichuan. Of the 1,996 dams in Sichuan province that were damaged 69 were classified as Dangerous Situations of Dam-Break, 310 were classified as High Dangerous Situations, and 1,617 were classified as Secondary High Dangerous Situations. Damage to dams included cracks in 1,425 dams, collapse and settlement in 687 dams, slides in 354 dams, leaks and seepage in 428 dams, mechanical hoisting equipment damage in 161 dams, and outlet works, spillway, and office building damage to 422 dams. In the modern area of dam design and construction this extent of damage to a countries water supply and hydroelectric system has never before been realized or documented. This affords engineers a unique opportunity to evaluate the performance of these dams after they were subjected to significant earthquake loading and learn from our findings. This paper looks at damages to dams in Sichuan region, including Zipingpu Dam near Duijanyan, Shapai Dam, and other dams damaged by the Wenchuan earthquake and offers lessons learned for the design, construction and operation and maintenance of these structures. This paper will also compare Chinese dam design and safety practices with US dam design and safety practices for earthen, concrete, and rockfill dams. © 2009 ASCE.

ABSTRACT: The strong earthquake struck on 12 May 2008 destroyed numerous houses in Wenchuan, Sichuan, China. This earthquake escalated the scale of existing geological disasters, undermined the stability of earthquake-prone zones, and triggered landslides and many other hidden disasters. In addition, many aftershocks and heavy rainfalls have prompted secondary disasters and consequently, the actual damages have been doubled in terms of scale and magnitude. Since some regions there are no longer appropriate for people to live, temporary housing and post-disaster reconstruction are badly needed. Recent advances in remote sensing and geospatial technologies have promoted their successful applications in siting engineering. Because of different research backgrounds, geological disasters and vegetation density were rarely incorporated as primary parameters for siting assessment. Based on the principles of avoiding active faults and encouraging synthetic prevention of geological disasters, we performed a locating analysis using part of the Wenchuan County as a case. Six major parameters were used to build a siting model, including geological disasters, vegetation index, stream systems, faults, terrain slope, and elevation. The results show that the proposed method can provide useful information for decision-making in the selection of temporary housing and post-disaster reconstruction. © 2009 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: A mega-earthquake of magnitude 8 of Richter scale occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China on May 12, 2008. The earthquake inflicted heavy loss of human lives and properties. The Wenchuan earthquake induced geological disasters, house collapse, and road blockage. In this paper, we demonstrate an application of optical remote sensing images acquired from airborne and satellite platforms in assessing the earthquake damages. The high-resolution airborne images were acquired by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The pre- and post-earthquake satellite images of QuickBird, IKONOS, Landsat TM, ALOS, and SPOT were collected by the Center for Earth Observation and Digital Earth (CEODE), CAS, and some of the satellite data were provided by the United States, Japan, and the European Space Agency. The pre- and post-earthquake remote sensing images integrated with DEM and GIS data were adopted to monitor and analyze various earthquake disasters, such as road blockage, house collapse, landslides, avalanches, rock debris flows, and barrier lakes. The results showed that airborne optical images provide a convenient tool for quick and timely monitoring and assessing of the distribution and dynamic changes of the disasters over the earthquake-struck regions. In addition, our study showed that the optical remote sensing data integrated with GIS data can be used to assess disaster conditions such as damaged farmlands, soil erosion, etc, which in turn provides useful information for the postdisaster reconstruction. © 2009 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: Based on the Newmark analysis, a method is introduced to deduce critical acceleration with the data of strong motion records and landslides. With this method, critical accelerations are calculated with the data of earthquake-induced landslide and strong motion records obtained from 3 stations in Lixian County during Wenchuan earthquake. The estimated critical accelerations of Shaba, Taoping and Muka stations are 40, 50 and 70 gal respectively. The results are in accord with the vulnerable geologic situations in the earthquake-hit area. The critical acceleration can be regarded as a quantitative criterion for judging the failure strain of a slope under earthquake excitations by ground motion parameters. It provides a new way to study earthquake-induced landslides with quantitative method. With the recommended method and the large number of strong motion records obtained from Wenchuan earthquake, critical accelerations in the Longmenshan region can be estimated; and it can provide quantitative reference information for the reconstruction work such as the engineering application, earthquake-induced landslides forecasting and localization in the earthquake-hit region. The research method and its results are helpful to promote the quantitative research on earthquake-induced landslides in China.

ABSTRACT: Immediately after the May 12, 2008 Great Wenchuan earthquake, the authors developed modern bamboo structure shelters in disaster relief to provide housing and classrooms for devastated regions. The modem bamboo structure shelters were designed with consideration of cost effect, earthquake resistance, inhabitability and environmental friendship. Tests were conducted and showed satisfactory results of the load carrying capacity of structural elements and air quality. Bamboo structure can be considered as a green construction, and the adoption of modern bamboo structures in disaster relief and reconstruction can take the advantage of local resources and reduce the cost. Under the support of donations from Hunan University, the authors manufactured and installed seventeen 48 m2 classrooms and three 16 m2 offices at the Beijie Elementary School, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. The authors also conceived design of permanent bamboo structures for reconstruction of the disaster affected regions.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake resulted in a lot of houses in villages or towns damage or collapse. To understand the primary weakness of rural houses, the typical construction form is introduced, and the typical building damage form in towns and villages caused by Wenchuan earthquake is investigated. Furthermore, several seismic fortification measures and suggestions about reconstruction are proposed. The conclusions are drawn through the seismic damage investigation and analysis on the rural buildings in this earthquake that rural buildings have some shortages on seismic fortification measures and the applied seismic technologies for these buildings should be summarized systematically. In order to improve the seismic capability of rural buildings, more fully state codes should be presented as soon as possible.

ABSTRACT: Aiming at the data organization and data dispatch problems in building a global virtual scene with multi-source images including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images, this paper explores the UAV image pre-processing, the simplified sphere projection suitable for visualization, and the structure of the global virtual scene. Based on this, an UAV image-supporting structure of the model for multi-quadtree organization in the global scene is proposed, and the key techniques for inter-source linking and dispatching of the data of multi-source images including UAV images are given. The result of the experiment performed using the UAV images acquired in the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake as the data source shows that the methods presented in the paper can reduce the data redundancy, promote the system running efficiency, make data management and updating convenient, and effectively provide visualization service in disaster response and management.

ABSTRACT: The application and construction (operation) system of emergency housing is focused. It gives a detailed analysis of the Japanese experiences and lessons in the big earthquakes like Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake. In Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, the Japanese government played a major role and there was not a perfect emergent disaster relief system. Due to the unsuccessful forecast on the long-term use of the emergency shelters, there appeared serious problems of inefficiency construction, undersupply of materials, poor physical and mental health, as well as overspending on construction and maintenance. These problems were greatly improved in the Niigata-Chuetsu earthquake. After that, combined with the field survey in the Wenchuan earthquake area and compared with the regional specialties of the post-disaster reconstruction in our country, it is pointed out that the emergency dwelling system in Wenchuan is the mutual effort of the government and the victims themselves. Being able to satisfy both the material and psychological requirements, this system manages to develop the transitional environment, which caters to the residing needs in the long-term run.

ABSTRACT: After the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, people started to pay more attention to charitable activities and to place high hopes in NGOs. Th rough an extensive analysis of surveys (including 465 surveys from individuals involved in the earthquake, 171 surveys from people who benefi ted from the charity work, and 60 surveys from the NGOs themselves), meeting notes, and interviews with involved groups and individuals, we found that most people were more than willing to donate their money and time to charity. Th ose who benefi ted from the charity work also reported high levels of satisfaction with the government, NGOs, and corporations. However, with respect to NGOs, there remains room for improvement in the areas of credibility, publicity, and transparency of information. Respecting people?s distinct donation preferences, NGOs should seize this opportunity to expand the charity market and to educate and develop new volunteers. On the other hand, the government should use a service purchase mechanism to encourage NGOs? involvement in disaster area reconstruction. Th e government can also consider implementing measures to reward NGOs that were actively involved in disaster relief. © 2009 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.

ABSTRACT: During the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Youth Business China (YBC) quickly launched the "Rebuild Our Home Entrepreneurship Campaign." With the help of the Mianyang government, YBC set up a local office and brought the campaign directly to the disaster area. YBC took advantage of its social resources and assisted youth affected by the disaster in starting their own businesses, which boosted the local economy and garnered public recognition. YBC's success was due to the combination of rebuilding and aid concepts with their own management ideas. YBC also successfully integrated public resources and private resources with its own unique charity management knowledge and standard operations. This rebuilding assistance model is an innovation in the non-profit sector, as well as an example of successful operation of a social enterprise. © 2009 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.

ABSTRACT: Site selection and risk assessment are extremely important aspects of the post-earthquake reconstruction of damaged towns. The main principles applied in this process were the towns located on/adjacent to the fault with a fragile geology would be relocated; heavily damaged towns some distance from the fault but without landslides/debris flows/significant slope movement would be reconstructed at their original location following strict construction codes. During the process of post-earthquake reconstruction, particular attention should be paid to hidden geological hazards, the variety and interdependency of risk-inducing factors and to long-term safety, etc. The paper discusses the site selection process for the reconstruction of Beichuan City, Qingchuan City and Muyu Town. © Springer-Verlag 2009.

ABSTRACT: Satellite remote sensing images monitoring before and after the Wenchuan earthquake were becoming of great significance in the field of disaster control and mitigation. This paper compared the landscape metrics derived from remote sensing data before and after Wenchuan earthquake. Firstly, two ASTER imageries acquired before and after earthquake were geo-referenced. Then, the two imageries were segmented and converted into vector files. Finally, six landscape metrics were computed using multi-resolution segmentation vector derived from the two imageries and the computation results before and after earthquake were compared. Comparing results, it concluded that the landscape metrics before and after earthquake are significantly different. After earthquake, the fine surface structure was destroyed due to numerous landslides and rockslides, so Perimeter Area Fractal Dimension and Splitting Index which represents shape complexity decreased. Perimeter Area Fractal Dimension and Splitting Index are more effective indexes to detect the land cover change before and after earthquake. © 2009 IEEE.

ABSTRACT: During Wenchuan earthquake, earthquake damage effects which severely damaged towns mainly include fault dislocation effect, site and foundation effect, amplification effect of ground motion and geological hazard effect. Site selection problem involves with complex factors, such as earthquake faults, geological hazards, national well-being and the people's livelihood, economic development, and so on. It is a complicated system engineering. The basic principle of solving the problems is described as follows. For the towns located in earthquake fault zones and deteriorative geological environment with severe hidden trouble of geological hazard, they must be moved to other places; for the town without severe hidden trouble of geological hazard, damaged seriously but far away from earthquake fault zones, they should be in-situ reconstruction according to the principles of "scientific planning, norms avoidance, reasonable adjustment to the aseismic standards". During reconstruction site selection, attention should be paid to potential geological hazards, multiplicity of inducing factors and long-term sustainability, and suitability evaluation on geological environment and risk assessment of geologic hazard should be strengthened.

ABSTRACT: The 8.0 M<inf>w</inf> Wenchuan earthquake triggered widespread and large scale landslides in mountainous regions. An approach was used to map and assess landslide susceptibility in a given area. A numerical rating system was applied to five factors that contribute to slope instability. Factors such as lithology, topography, streams and faults have an important influence as event-controlling factors for landslide susceptibility assessment. A final map is provided to show areas of low, medium, and high landslide susceptibility. Areas identified as having high landslide susceptibility were located in the central, northeastern, and far south regions of the study area. The assessment results will help decision makers to select safe sites for emergency placement of refuges and plan for future reconstruction. The maps may also be used as a basis for landslide risk management in the study area.

ABSTRACT: The great Wenchuan earthquake (M<inf>s</inf> = 8.0) in 2008 caused severe damage in the western part of the Chengdu Plain. Soil liquefaction was one of the major causes of damage in the plain areas, and proper evaluation of liquefaction potential is important in the definition of the seismic hazard facing a given region and post-earthquake reconstruction. In this paper, a simplified procedure is proposed for liquefaction assessment of sandy deposits using shear wave velocity (V<inf>s</inf>), and soil liquefaction from the Banqiao School site was preliminarily investigated after the earthquake. Boreholes were made at the site and shear wave velocities were measured both by SASW and down-hole methods. Based on the in-situ soil information and V<inf>s</inf> profiles, the liquefaction potential of this site was evaluated. The results are reasonably consistent with the actual field behavior observed after the earthquake, indicating that the proposed procedure is effective. The possible effects of gravel and fines contents on liquefaction of sandy soils were also briefly discussed.

ABSTRACT: Geological hazards of the Wenchuan Great Earthquake are characterized by a wide affecting range and a high density. The main types of the geological hazards are collapse and landslide, the collapse occurs far more frequently than the landslide, and the secondary geological hazards are likely to be existent for a long period in future. These characteristics are caused mainly by die spread of the seismic waves from the inside of the earth's crust to die surface as well as the spread of the P wave after S wave, which results in the harm to the mountain's inside structure, followed by the loss of the stability of the surface rock. The differences between lithology, landform and rock inclination exert to a certain extent influence on the geological type and the spatial distribution. In the postearthquake reconstruction, the arduousness of the task and the protracted nature of the geological hazard control should be taken fully into account.

ABSTRACT: Based on the field investigation of 18 tunnels along Dujiangyan-Wenchuan highway, the damage patterns of highway tunnels were systematically described, the damage mechanisms were analyzed, and some proposals were put forward for the future rehabilitation of the tunnels damaged by the Wenchuan earthquake. The research results show that the damage degree of the tunnels is associated not only with ground shaking, but also with geological disasters induced by slope instability and fault displacement. The research provides a reference for the seismic design of tunnels, the reconstruction of the disaster areas in the earthquake and the revision of corresponding codes and regulations.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured the Longmenshan fault system in Sichuan Province, China, collapsing buildings and killing tens of thousands people. As predicted, aftershocks may last for at least one year, and moreover, large aftershocks are likely to occur. Therefore, it is critical to outline the areas with potential aftershocks before reconstruction and re-settling people as to avoid future disasters. It is demonstrated that the redistribution of stress induced by an earthquake should trigger successive seismic activity. Based on static stress triggering theory, we calculated the coseismic stress changes on major faults induced by the Wenchuan earthquake, with elastic dislocation theory and the multilayered crustal model. We also discuss the stress distribution and its significance for future seismic activity under the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake. It is shown that coulomb failure stress (CFS) increases obviously on the Daofu-Kangding segment of the Xianshuihe Fault, the Maqu and Nanping segment of the Eastern Kunlun Fault, the Qingchuan Fault, southern segment of the Minjiang Fault, Pengxian-Guanxian Fault, Jiangyou-Guangyuan Fault, and Jiangyou-Guanxian Fault. The increased stress raises the probability of earthquake occurrence on these faults. Since these areas are highly populated, earthquake monitoring and early disaster alarm system are needed. CFS increases with a magnitude of 0.03-0.06 MPa on the Qingchuan Fault, which is close to the northern end of the rapture of Wenchuan earthquake. The occurrence of some strong aftershocks, including three events with magnitude higher than 5.0, indicates that the seismic activities have been triggered by the main shock. Aftershocks seem to migrate northwards. Since the CFS change on the Lueyang-Mianxian Fault located on the NEE of the Qingchuan Fault is rather small (±0.01 MPa), the migration of aftershocks might be terminated in the area near Hanzhong City. The CFS change on the western Qinling Fault is around 10 Pa, and the impact of static triggering can be neglected. The increment of CFS on the Pengxian-Guanxian Fault and Beichuan-Yingxiu Fault southwest to the main rupture is 0.005-0.015 MPa, which would facilitate earthquake triggering in these areas. Very few aftershocks in these areas indicate that the accumulated stress has not been released sufficiently. High seismic risk is predicated in these areas due to co-seismic CFS loading. The Wenchuan earthquake released the accumulated CFS on the Fubianhe Fault, the Huya Fault, the Ha-nan-Qingshanwan Fault, and the Diebu-Bailongjiang Fault. The decrement of CFS changes on the Longquanshan Fault east to Chengdu City is about 0.002 MPa. The seismic activity will be depressed by decrement of CFS on these faults. © Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH 2009.

ABSTRACT: In order to analyze the formation mechanism of slope earthquake-induced deformation, combining with the detailed investigation on the earthquake-induced deformation and failure phenomenon caused by Wenchuan earthquake, the comprehensive analysis method, finite element numerical analysis and vibration table simulation experiments are adopted to analyze the earthquake-induced mechanism of single- and double-side slopes. The results show that the earthquake waves will make the stress field of slopes change significantly. The slope body, especially the grade surface, will generate repeatedly tensile and shear actions, of which values and orientations adjust continuously. These actions are significant reasons of slope failure. It is discovered that the shear actions has three representative forms, i.e. first motion tensile and shear acceleration rending effect, repeatedly tensile and shear rending effect, and double-side common shear rending effect. These rending effects have been found in practice. The results can provide references to forecast failure of earthquake-induced slope and reconstruction of powerful foundation after earthquake and hazard-resistant reduction.

ABSTRACT: Resources and environment bearing capacity evaluation is a significant part of the state planning for the restoration and reconstruction of post-Wenchuan Earthquake. The aim of this evaluation is to put forward appropriate population scale for restoration and reconstruction in disaster area, and the spatial distribution of population can adapt to resources and environment bearing capacity. This paper analyzes the changing trend of resources and environment of ten counties in disaster area. After evaluated water resources, environmental capacity and land resource, barrel effect is applied to ensure that population bearing capacity of land resources can reflect resources and environment capacity of the area, and rational population scale is confirmed by calculating population bearing capacity of land-grain resources, land for construction and income from land economy. The study shows that the population bearing capacity based on resources and environment in area hited by Wenchuan earthquake in 2010 is 132.5-140 million. For meeting well-off standard the population bearing capacity in 2020 is 99.5-106.5 million. It is concluded that bearing capacity of resources and environment of 10 counties reached the culminating point; and it can support restoration of population basically. The population of this area should not transfer massively during the period of restoration and reconstruction. However, the population should transfer by comprehensive policy after the restoration and reconstruction in respect that resources and environment can not support construction of well-off society completely.

ABSTRACT: A huge amount of building waste was caused by collapsed houses and dilapidated buildings as a result of Wenchuan earthquake. The smooth disposal of building waste will make the post-earthquake reconstruction work effective. Based on the statistics of the earthquake damage and the relationship between different building structures and building waste produced, it was indicated that masonry structures, frame structures and mixed structures between them are the main source of building waste. An initial mathematical model about the amount of building waste in the disaster area was firstly set up, then the type and the quantity of building waste were statistically analyzed from the aspects of structure, materials and damage situation. Finally, the composition and distribution characteristics of building waste in disaster area were concluded as: the main building waste is waste concrete and waste brick, and most of it comes from the masonry structures.

ABSTRACT: After the Wenchuan earthquake, a lot of potential debris flow gullies are activated as active debris flow gullies because of the earthquake. These debris flow gullies will be in the active period for a long time in the future. The debris flow outbreak scale and frequency increase obviously, which threatens life and property safety of the people in the disaster area and influences the reconstruction of the disaster area. This paper takes Guanshan gully in the upper minjiang river as an example to discuss about the cause, starting mode and damage of the potential debris flow triggered by the earthquake preliminarily. The Guanshan gully can be defined as a typical potential debris flow gully through the interpretation of remote sensing image before the earthquake and aerial image after the earthquake. The Guanshan gully changes from a potential debris flow gully into an active and high-frequency debris flow gully. The cause is that the earthquake results in many collapses and landslides in the basin, which provides rich material sources for the debris flow. Through estimation, there are 2 landslides, 21 collapses and 7.8 million m3 loose solid materials in the Guanshan gully. The starting mode of the debris flow in the Guanshan gully is that under the condition of precipitation, the landslides in the upper basin turn into debris flows, then with the acceptance of the materials runoff scoured from the two-side slope surface, the debris flows scour the loose materials in the gully bed strongly to increase debris flow scale at the same time, therefore harmful debris flows are formed. If the rainstorm frequency of P equals to 1% or 2%, the blockage caused by debris flows has more possibility. Once debris flows block the main river, the blockage backwater and outburst flood will threaten the safety of people's life and property in the upper and lower river. at the same time, debris flow will threaten the safety of "213 provincial road".

ABSTRACT: The '5·12' Wenchuan Earthquake presents two challenges-reconstruction of the devastated areas and building adequate seismic resistance into the rest of China. The stages in recovery include structural condition assessment, identification of seismic weaknesses, appreciation of the variable seismicity of PR China, the development of a seismic performance index to aid the decision to relocate, rebuild or retrofit, development and application of the principles of retrofitting which recycles rubble and waste from Wenchuan '5·12', with an emphasis on integrating masonry construction into seismic resistance. The recovery and resilience achieved through structural engineering must be integrated into a broader community involvement in disaster risk reduction.

ABSTRACT: Using a large amount of construction waste, which was generated by Wenchuan earthquake, to produce recycled concrete blocks, is an important approach to utilize construction waste as resources. Based on the application of recycled concrete blocks in the earthquake hit-area, for reconstruction of villages and towns, the structural performance of recycled concrete block masonry was discussed. Under low frequency cyclic loading test of recycled concrete block load-bearing walls and the full-scale model shaking table test of recycled concrete block masonry house, the seismic performance of recycled concrete block masonry was studied. Combining with two demonstration projects in the earthquake hit-area reconstruction, the design of recycled concrete block masonry structure was also studied.

ABSTRACT: Based on field reconnaissance, the damage mechanism of Gaoyuan bridge in Dujiangyan city was analyzed. Results showed that the failure mode of Gaoyuan bridge was quite different from most girder bridges failed by strong shake effect in the earthquake-hit area and site effect was more prominent. There existed a great stiffness difference between its structure and foundation, and its deformation inconformity was the major reason for its failure. The bridge face moved 1. 8 meters to the right bank during the earthquake, which resulted in the falling down of its beam. Considering the thrust mode of Longmenshan faults, during the reconstruction the bridge site should be located in places with no strong site effect, bridge type should also conform with its geological background and necessary beam-fell prevention structure should also be taken into account to increase its seismic resistance capability.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan Earthquake triggered large-scale and group-occurring secondary mountain hazards. They not only severely destroyed the highways and blocked the traffic, but also blocked the process of earthquake relief and reconstruction. After the remote sensing monitoring and field survey in Xuankou-Yanmen part of the Dujiangyan-Wenchuan Highway, the type and the distribution of the secondary mountain hazards were described the damage of the subgrades, pavements, bridges and tunnels along the Dujiangyan-Wenchuan Highway were analyzed. In addition, combining with the temporal characteristics of secondary mountain hazards, the countermeasure and suggestion of the relief and reconstruction of the traffic system were given. The research result showed that: 1) In the research region, strong earthquake causes a lot of secondary mountain hazards such as collapses, landslides, debris flows, dammed lakes. There are 3863 collapses with a total area of 71.985 km2, 74 debris flow gullies, 18 landslides, 5 dammed lakes, 6 ground fissures which is longer than 1 km. 2) Earthquake and secondary mountain hazards severely destroyed the highway and traffic. From Xuankou to Yanmen in Wenchuan, there are 875 blocks in Dujiangyan-Wenchuan Highway. Also, there are barriers with a length of 83.622 km. 81.19% of the highway, including 87 bridges and 10 tunnels, has been destroyed. 3) The distribution of the main kind of collapse, landslide, debris flow, dammed lake mainly depends on seismic intensity, geological structure, topography and geomorphology and rock characters. 4) Using the technology of GIS and remote sensing, the disaster evaluation and dynamic monitoring can be effectively carried out, so it can provide the scientific basis and references to the relief and reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 has induced many secondary disasters, such as collapse, landslide, and dammed lake. These provide conditions for debris flows, which are expected to be one of the major disasters in the quake area in the coming years. A network of monitoring and warning of the geohazards is urgent for the hazard mitigation and homeland reconstruction. About 2998 monitoring sites and six systems are planned in the quake area of Sichuan. These systems should be automatic and timing, with low power cost, wireless communication, and proper power support. The monitored objects and monitoring methods are designed following the existing system at home and abroad. A systematic imagine is proposed on base of the previous studies. The system consists mainly of the forming conditions, stimulus factors, information management platform, and alarming block. Two special techniques are analyzed in details: The critical indices for hazard formation and the networks of information transfer. For the latter, a wireless sensor network is introduced, which arises as a new method in acquiring information with variety of network forms. Such a network can be randomly distributed, self-organized, and run in coopera-tion. Combining with the statewide cellular base stations of China Mobile and China Unicom, the system can run in long-term to monitor landslides, dammed lakes, and debris flows from different viewpoints and release alarms. Fi-nally, a flow framework is plotted according to the objects of monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Wenchuan earthquake caused great damage to Dujiangyan and other 4 counties of Chengdu city. The quick evaluation on environment resources carrying capacity is an important part of the post-earthquake reconstruction. Current carrying capacity usually evaluate single resources of a certain area, few of them assess a whole city. This paper gets the evaluated target and objects according to the carrying capacity definitions. Five factors including geology disasters' distribution, physiognomy environment, plow land, water and travel resource were used for evaluation the carrying capacity of a city area. Each factor's weight got from the specialists. The research area were divided to 3 km × 3 km grids by GIS software. The final result is make up with grid's evaluation result which concluded by five factor layer's overlay. Some suggestions base on the evaluation result were given and the end.

ABSTRACT: After the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake which took place on May 12, 2008, aerial remote sensing has rapidly covered all the influence sites of the earthquake, emergency aero-photo interpretation has revealed the disaster distribution limitation, and captured the information of location, dimension of the destroyed houses, roads and other structures, blocked rivers, etc, which provided destroying conditions of the time for rescuing lives, rebuilding traffic lines and estimating disaster situation. The further interpretation and analysis indicate that large scale second growth geological disasters mainly distribute in the distance of 0-300 km and 45°-50° orientation from the epicenter. About 137 latent large-scale landslides and debris-flows will occur in this rain season and coming several years, so how to avoid current geological disasters as well as the latent large disasters should be considered in making rebuilding and developing plan. © 2009 Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH.

ABSTRACT: On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province resulted in great loss of life and properties. Besides, abundant landslides and slope failures were triggered in the most seriously hit areas and caused disastrous damages to infrastructures and public facilities. Moreover, abundant unstable slopes caused by the quake have the potential to cause damages for a considerable long period of time. The variety of these slopes and the corresponding treatments are connected with the topographical and geological conditions of the sites. It is decided to document and identify some of these major slope instabilities caused by the earthquake and their treatments. The paper shows the condition of a road in Dujiangyan through in situ explorations. The case history showed significant implications to the reconstruction of the quake-hit regions and future disaster prevention and management works.

ABSTRACT: Sediment related disasters,such as debris flow,landslide,slope failure etc.,always cause tremendous damages to lives and properties of people, deteriorate living environments and block the economic development. How to prevent such destructive sediment disasters and mitigate the damages is still a big problem facing the human beings. Japan is a country suffering many kinds of natural disasters, and amongst them,sediment related disasters occupy lots of the losing. From long time ago,Japanese government began to take measures against sediment related disasters, controlling erosion and sediment. Today,these elaborate and costly works are called Sabo works. Sabo is an effort to prevent sediment related disasters, realize the symbiosis between the nature and humans and renew vitality of the area. Due to different purposes, there are many kinds of Sabo works,and they are practically effective. For example, the 2004 Niigata Earthquake caused serious sediment related disasters, but by taking the correct countermeasures, this region has been renewed same as before the earthquake. Almost the same as Japan,China is also a place where many natural disasters are overwhelming,such as the big Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May, 2008 which caused numerous landslides and collapse and damaged this region severely. Now we are facing the reconstruction and have to solve many problems relating to the sediment disaster. For this purpose, this paper introduces applications of SABO works in Japan. Through this, the author sincerely hopes it would be useful for the reconstruction works in the damaged area, and it would be helpful for sediment related disaster mitigation in China.

ABSTRACT: Transportation networks are among the most important lifelines for post-seismic relief and reconstruction. It is imperative to investigate, monitor, and analyze transportation network damage caused by earthquake disasters in near real-time. Herein, we present a method for the analysis of seismic hazards and the subsequent assessment of the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake on transportation networks employing remote sensing and geographical information systems. In this method, the locations, shapes, lengths, and areas of the main damaged segments of state and provincial highways are interpreted and surveyed based on airborne ADS40 data and diverse remotely sensed satellite images of varying resolutions before and after the disaster. Next, the spatial distributions of geological disasters such as landslides, land-collapses, mud-rock flows, bank-collapses, earthquake rifts, and faults, as well as barrier lakes, were analyzed. These types of geological disasters commonly cause transportation network blockage and damage. Finally, geographical factors, including geological structures, topography, and landscapes, were collected and integrated with the disaster statistics to quantitatively analyze the primary transportation seismic disaster indices, and evaluate the geographical characteristics and genetic mechanisms of seismic disasters. Our results indicate that transportation network blockage and damage occurred in 808 segments, with a total length of 170.2 km, and occupied 29.66% of the total length of the state and provincial highways in the core disaster regions. The distribution of transportation network blockage and damage has obvious geographical characteristics. It is concentrated in regions near geological faults, folds, rock crushes, and breaks, especially near the Longmenshan-controlling fault, which played a decisive role in the Wenchuan earthquake. The remotely sensed images, maps, and analytical results on the geographical distribution and genetic mechanisms of the transportation network blockage and damage effectively guided the national department of transportation repair and reconstruction planning for the disaster areas. © 2009 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

ABSTRACT: The Minshan and Qionglai mountains, the major distribution range of the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), was struck by the Wenchuan earthquake. In this study, we evaluated the impact of the earthquake and subsequent geo-disasters on the Giant Panda and its habitat using Wenchuan county (where the epicenter was located) as a case study. Habitat characteristics before and after the earthquake were analyzed based on TM images taken pre and post-earthquake and previous research in this region. Results showed that about 252.0 km2 of panda habitat was lost in Wenchuan County after the earthquake, which accounted for 13.9% of the total habitat in this county. Regions with high earthquake intensity, low elevation, steep slope, and near river had a higher proportion of habitat loss than in other regions. In addition to habitat loss, the earthquake and its resulting geo-disasters also caused habitat fragmentation. After the earthquake, the number of habitat patches increased by a factor of 2 and mean patch size was only 28.3% of pre-earthquake conditions. Habitat restoration and corridor reparation along Road 303 are necessary for facilitating panda's migration between isolated patches. It is necessary to take some measures including relocation of residents and earthquake compensation to decrease the impact of reconstruction on the Giant Panda and its habitat. © 2009 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a visual three-dimensional simulation and assessment system of the Wenchuan earthquake zone using the Digital Earth concept and highly efficient spatial information visualization technology. Our goal is to provide a foundation for earthquake disaster relief and reconstruction. A number of major collapses, landslides, mud-rock flows and other geological disasters are analysed in the system, and the system can be used to monitor and analyse earthquake relief, rescue and insurance to provide first-hand source material for disaster situation assessment. Multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution remote sensing data and multi-scale DEM data are integrated into this system, and produce a sequence of comprehensive resolution datasets. We present management methods for a dynamic multi-resolution terrain model and multi-level scene. These methods are based on the model division, delaminating algorithm, and make use of high-speed buffering mechanisms to achieve a multi-level large-scale real-time rendering of scenes in the disaster areas, which also effectively reduces the rendering delay, and achieves smooth, seamless roaming at different model levels. © 2009 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

ABSTRACT: The large 8.0 scale earthquake that occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan province, China on May 12, 2008 caused huge damage to people's lives and property. Airborne and spaceborne remote sensing can be used accurately and effectively in almost real-time to monitor and assess earthquake disasters, providing an important scientific basis and decision-making support for government emergency command and post-disaster reconstruction. The high resolution, multi-band, multi-polarization, and full-polarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system and theories developed in recent years provide important data resources and the basic methodology for post-earthquake monitoring and evaluation. In this paper, the cities of Beichuan and Dujiangyan in the Wenchuan earthquake region are chosen as study sites. Using advanced high-resolution, multi-band, multi-polarization, and full-polarization SAR data, and applying urban building backscattering models and target backscattering and polarimetric target decomposition theory, the backscattering characteristics, polarimetric characteristics and texture features between collapsed and intact buildings post-earthquake are extensively compared and analyzed. Subsequently, a new SAR detection method for collapsed urban buildings is proposed from these characterizations. Preliminary results from comparisons between this method and high-resolution optical data show that the proposed method is effective and powerful in detecting collapsed urban buildings devastated by an earthquake. © 2009 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

ABSTRACT: After the "5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake" occurred, the transportation command and dispatch department transported a large number of disaster relief materials and personnel to the disaster areas via road transportation system in the shortest time and under the minimum risk, which effectively supported the earthquake relief and post-disaster reconstruction work. Based on summing up and reflecting the emergency transportation assurance work of Wenchuan Earthquake and through studying the rough and multi-attribute decision-making theories and methods, the concept of fuzzy risk control theory and a mathematical model is set up in this paper, combining with GIS and GPS, which perfects the vehicle dispatch system for emergency transportation. All of these lead to set up a set of high-efficiency and low-risk emergency transportation assurance system in the shortest time after the emergency events occur. Copyright ASCE 2009.

ABSTRACT: Pengzhou fault is an important buried fault in the frontal areas of Longmen Shan. In order to investigate the location, characteristics and activities of Pengzhou fault, after the Wenchuan earthquake (M<inf>s</inf>8. 0) of May 12,2008, a high-resolution shallow seismic reflection experiment using vibrator sources was carried out to obtain the imaging of Pengzhou buried fault. In this paper,based on the shallow seismic reflection data and in combination with the Petroleum seismic reflection section in same region, the geometry of Pengzhou buried fault and the thicknesses of Cenozoic strata in both sides of the fault was determined. The results show that Pengzhou fault is an active thrust fault running in NE and dipping in NW, and its dip angle is about 58°-62°. This fault extends upwards into Quaternary sediments, and it merges downwards into the west-dipping detachment at depth about 8-10 km. The results also provide seismological evidence for estimating the fault activities and rebuilding the homeland after the disaster.

ABSTRACT: Owing to the fact that several county towns in Sichuan were badly damaged, especially Beichuan County was in ruin by the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12,2008, selection for town sites has become the important task for reconstruction of earthquake-striking areas. Field investigation and comprehensive analysis show that the basin is of good basement and has no fractures developed inside the basement, although it is located in an intensive active tectonic zone. The basin is in a relatively state block-so called safety island. Thus the Leigu basin is of practical value for reconstruction of Beichuan County. Based on field investigation of active faults and seismic hazards, applying the theory of Safety Island originated by Prof. Li Siguang, this paper discusses the crustal stability of Leigu basin, and analyzes the characteristic of the engineering geological and hydrological conditions, which can provide geological evidences for reconstruction and relocation of Beichuan earthquake-hit area.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the effect of urgent psychological crisis intervention for 148 patients who were transferred to other provinces to receive treatment after the Wenchuan earthquake. Methods: We randomly selected 148 patients from the disaster area who received treatment in The Third Hospital of Mianyang City and then transferred to other provinces. A self-designed questionnaire, SAS, and SDS scales were administered to all patients 7 days and 1 day before their transfer. After the initial assessment, all patients received urgent psychological interventions including catharsis, leading, explanation, and cognition reconstruction. Results: After psychological intervention, both the full score and the standardized score of SAS and SDS declined significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion: Earthquake sufferers who were transferred to other provinces to receive treatment had psychological problems. Crisis psychological intervention may have improved their psychological status effectively. © 2008 Editorial Board of Chin J Evid-based Med.

ABSTRACT: On May 12 in 2008, a Magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit Wenchuan in China, and the casualty shocked the whole world. The landslide was a frequent secondary disaster in this earthquake, so to analyze the mechanism of landslides in the disaster area is very important for post-earthquake reconstruction. The study area is located in PingWu County, which was also hit by the earthquake severely. And the data sources are ETM+ image, DEM and interpreted ALOS image. This paper considered four potential driving factors for landslides, and they are land cover, lineament, slope and drainage. The land cover was classified based on the density of vegetation, and sub-pixel analysis was employed; Density of lineament was calculated by Sobel operator and image segmentation; Slope was classified by using a threshold; Drainage was considered without numerical analysis, because it is significant and simple in study area. To find out how they influenced the landslides, conditional probability was utilized as a measurement. The result shows that areas in sparse vegetation, dense lineament and steep topography were easy to meet landslides, while drainages also induced landslides. © 2008 SPIE.

ABSTRACT: The 12 May 2008 earthquake caused damage to 88% of the health systems in the worst hit areas of Mianyang with 326 casualties and the direct economic loss of RMB 3124 billion. Within 30 minutes of the earthquake, the Mianyang headquarters for earthquake disaster relief and the Mianyang public health headquarters for medical rescue and treatment were organized. Five medical teams were sent to Beichuang County, the worst hit Mianyang area, four hours after the earthquake. A total of 22,947 wounded and sick people were delivered to local hospitals after simple triage and rapid treatment through three stations. By 30 June, the Mianyang medical organization had received 379,600 people and admitted 21,628 inpatients. These 2772 severely wounded (including 146 with limbs amputated and 846 who died in hospital). Since 17 May, 3381 wounded had been transferred to 14 provincial and city-level hospitals across China. On 20 June, the Mianyang Rehabilitation Center for wounded and sick people was established and received 156 rehabilitation inpatients. Together with the medical team for psychological intervention, they provided psychological support for over 70,000 people. Within two hours of the earthquake, the Mianyang Organization for Health and Epidemic Control and Prevention launched the emergency response plan for major natural disasters. The organization sent emergency teams for disease prevention and control and completed disinfection and burial of corpses and disposal of carcasses, monitoring of water quality and epidemics, disinfection of environmental ruins, epidemic control in resettled areas, precautions against secondary disasters caused by the earthquake, and large-scale health education. The emergency command system for medical rescue and disease control and prevention in the Mianyang areas integrated resources, carried out unified command, and responded rapidly. Furthermore, the headquarters of medical relief co-ordinated and united the governmental and nongovernmental organizations, achieving good performance for both medical relief and epidemic control. This experience of earthquake medical relief will benefit post-disaster reconstruction, as well as the establishment of national and regional emergency response systems. © 2008 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd and Chinese Cochrane Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To summarize the experience of epidemic prevention in order to offer the first-hand data for reconstruction after the earthquake and epidemic control and prevention in the active seismic zone. Method: We collected and analyzed the data of epidemic control and prevention and summarized their strengths and weaknesses. Results: Of the 13 counties in Aba Prefecture, 12 were afflicted with 2 worst-hit counties and 5 worse-hit disaster areas. A total of 20 233 people were dead and 7 873 people were missing. Health system was severely damaged. Aba Center of Disease Control and Prevention started the contingency plan and sent 4 epidemic prevention teams to the disaster areas. With the combination of local materials and external aids, the epidemic prevention network of county, township and village was established. (1) Environment cleaning and elimination: up to August 27, 2008, 2 591 group times of teams involving 88 298 person times and 5 294 set times of vehicles were allocated. Disinfection area covered 18 181.3 m2 including 14 132 dumps, 33 271 cesspits and 154 391 breeding grounds of mosquitoes, flies and mice. (2) Critical supervision for the safety of drinking water and food: up to June 20, 21 centralized and 1 032 dispersed water supply sources were restored. We monitored 829 drinking water samples, among which 594 were qualified with the qualified rate of 66.59%. (3) A total of 86 396 people were resettled in 17 temporary sites. (4) Wild dogs were killed in Kala-azar epidemic areas. Mosquitoes, flies and mice were supervised once a week. (5) Disease supervision: A total of 762 cases in 15 legal infectious diseases were found within 90 days after the earthquake, and no death was found. No outbreak of infectious epidemic situations and burst public health events was reported. A total of 57 157 Hepatitis A vaccinations were inoculated in the children aged from 18 months to 12 years old and 16 268 in children aged from 13 to 16 years old, medical staff, military personnel and first-line workers. A total of 4 435 Japanese encephalitis vaccinations were inoculated in people in Xiaojin county. On June 15, routine inoculation clinic recovered and on July 1, expansive inoculation was started on schedule. Conclusion: Phased victory is gained in epidemic control and prevention in Aba Prefecture, although it is only a latter-wit. It is suggested that a long-term system of the earthquake disaster as well as human and environmental protection should be reconsidered through the first-hand data of anti-epidemic measures of the Wenchuan earthquake. © 2008 Editorial Board of Chin J Evid-based Med.

ABSTRACT: The May 12 8-magnitude earthquake caused damage to 87.7% of the health systems in the worst-hit Mianyang areas with 326 casualties and the direct economic loss of RMB 3 124 billion. Within 30 minutes after the earthquake, the Mianyang headquarters for earthquake disaster relief and the Mianyang public health headquarters for medical rescue and treatment were organized. Five medical teams were sent to Beichuang County, the worst-hit Mianyang area within four hours after the earthquake. A total of 22 947 wounded and sick were delivered to local hospitals after simple triage and rapid treatment through three station. By June 30, the Mianyang medical organisation had received 379 600 person times and admitted 21628 inpatients in total, including 2 772 severely-wounded (including 146 with limbs amputated and 846 dead during the stay). Since May 17, 3381 wounded had been transferred to 14 provincial and city-level hospitals across China. On June 20, the Mianyang Rehabilitation Center for wounded and sick people was established and received 156 rehabilitation inpatients and cured 32 ones. Together with the medical team for psychological intervention, they provided psychological support for victims for over 70 000 person times. Within two hours after the earthquake, the Mianyang Organisation for Health and Epidemic Control and Prevention launched the emergency response plan for major natural disasters, prepared and improved the technical scheme for disease prevention after the earthquake. The organisation rapidly sent out emergency teams for disease control and prevention and completed the following tasks: disinfection and burial of corpses and disposal of carcasses, monitoring of the water quality and epidemics, disinfection of environmental ruins, epidemic control in resettled areas, precaution of the secondary disasters caused by the earthquake and conduction of large-scale health education. The emergency command system for medical rescue and disease control and prevention in the worst-hit Mianyang areas after Wenchuan Earthquake integrated resources, carried out the unified command and responded rapidly. Moreover, the headquarter of medical relief coordinated and orderly unified the governmental and non-governmental organizations, which achieved good performance for both medical relief and anti-epidemic. The experience of earthquake medical relief will benefit the post-disaster reconstruction, as well as the establishment of national and regional emergency response systems. © 2008 Editorial Board of Chin J Evid-based Med.

ABSTRACT: The 12 May 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake created about 240km-long surface fault ruptures along the Central Fault and about 72km along the Mountain Front Fault, two of the three sub-parallel secondary faults of Longmenshan thrust faults striking NE-SW, according to field investigation of surface faulting. From north to south,most of the widths of intense surface rupture zones are less than 40m, and above 1/2 are between 10-30m. Many buildings along fault surface ruptures were destroyed, including those with frame structure or reinforced concrete structure, and we also find some houses or buildings have withstood the strong earthquake and its aftershocks for their excellent performance of earthquake-resistance. The distance between fault scarps and the buildings are from 10 to 30 meters. Based on the field investigation, on the widths of surface rupture zones of historical strong earthquakes, and considering "crustal shortening" for inverse faulting and other various uncertainties, it is suggested that safety distance away from active fault in rebuilding is 25m. Within this distance, only one or two-storeyed buildings with higher standard of earthquake-resistance can be constructed, and public buildings,like schools and hospitals should be prohibited to build.

ABSTRACT: The geodatabase of scientific investigation of Wenchuan earthquake stores many field investigation data, such as the data of field geological survey sites, the surface rupture belts, the Quaternary faults in the earthquake region, paleoseismological trenches, folds, etc. Moreover,it includes some collection data, such as strata data, the catalog of the Wenchuan mainshock and aftershocks, the relocation catalog of aftershocks of the Wenchuan earthquake, the catalog of historical strong earthquake. The field data are recorded, edited, analysed, mapped and output with ArcGis, a powerful function in Gis software. The geodatabase of scientific investigation of M<inf>s</inf>8.0 Wenchuan earthquake was initially established, which includes the basic seismological information and realizes the integrated management of spatial location and attribute information. Data can be queried, analyzed and processed for the need of the correlation analysis of the data. Seismic tectonic map and surface rupture map can be drawn with the geodatabase, which can provide the basis for the determination of safety distance from the risky seismic rupture zones in post-disaster reconstruction and for the construction of the Wenchuan earthquake geographic information system.

ABSTRACT: With the occurrence of the 12May 2008 Wenchuan, Sichuan, China earthquake, two high-relief surface ruptures were formed on the Yingxiu-Shikan segment of the range-front fault and the Bailu-Hanwang segment of central fault along the Longmenshan Fault zone,and around the faults almost all buildings were razed. Furthermore, surface ruptures on the central fault broke through the accustomed activity segmentation boundary and extended to the northern segment by about 60km. Aftershocks also have a trend of migrating to the northern segment from the middle segment of Longmenshan Fault zone. It would be interesting to know as what kinds of effects this giant earthquake has on the earth's surface along the northern segment of Longmenshan Fault zone, and whether there have been earthquakes occurring since late Quaternary? In order to accumulate more reliable and detailed data and have a primary understanding to solve these questions and for post-quake reconstruction, we made a detailed geological and geomorphologic survey of the co-seismic earth's surface transformation and the late Quaternary Fault activity along the northern segment of the range-front fault on the basis of researches by predecessors. And then we excavated trenches at two relatively heavily-damaged and suspicious sites with legible linear shadows on image to investigate whether there exists active fault or fold. Our observation suggests that the northern segment is quite distinct in geology and geomorphology,and the coseismic earth's surface transformation is different from that in the middle segment of front-range fault and there is no clear trace to indicate that it is a late Quaternary active fault. So the late Quaternary active segment of range-front fault may terminate nearby the south of the Yong'an town. Our observation also suggests that the so-called active fault scarp as argued by some researchers near the Yong'an village is in fact an eroded river bank.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake happened on May 12, 2008 in Sichuan and was one of the most terrible disasters in recent history of China. It not only caused great casualties and huge economic loss, but also seriously destroyed mountain ecosystem and led ecological degradation in large areas. It is a precondition to understand the ecological degradation status for successful restoration and rehabilitation in the seriously affected region. This paper provides the analyses of the driving force and degradation process, gives a preliminary evaluation on the ecological damages and degradation in the seriously affcted regions (including 60 counties or cities, with a total area of 15 × 104 km2), and presents the key problems and major degradation features there. It is expected that this present work will promote scientific research and provide scientific information for ecological reconstruction and restoration in the region. Fig 2, Ref 13.

ABSTRACT: Health reconstruction is an important part of post-earthquake reconstruction task. To do a better job in health reconstruction after a disaster, we should, based on previous experience and the characteristics of different periods, properly utilize the health resources for the disaster relief and exercise long-term management. And in a long run, we should, taking into consideration of the future health demands, plan the health reconstruction in the disaster areas. Emphasis should be made on the personnel training for epidemic prevention. Efforts should be made to fully recover the health system in the disaster area and the recovered health system should be better than that before disaster.

ABSTRACT: This paper is based on two periods of landscape type maps derived from remote sensed data and basic data, according to the present and characteristics of the landscape ecosystems in regions before and after the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake. The paper analyzed the process of change in the landscape ecosystem and heterogeneity in landscape ecology with different earthquake intensity. In order to evaluate the extent of damaged landscape ecology, and by means of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a synthetically index system from two aspects of landscape-stability and heterogeneity was established. The main results are the following: (1) Large scale of woodland, farmland and grassland were damaged by the Wenchuan Earthquake; landslides and collapses took place, this caused a great number of bare land and bare rock that emerged after the disaster. The change area where earthquake of M ≥ 9 of woodland and farmland reduced by 458.48 km2 and 91.16 km2 respectively. The bare land area and bare rock region increased by 496.23 km2, and the range ability related to 947.51%. In the IX level region, relatively lighter influence acts on landscape change, and the variation ranges are all below 2%, the ecosystem is slightly damaged. On the contrary, in the tenth seismic intensity region, damages on the ecosystem are more obvious, and the bare land and bare rock in this region increased by 126.17km2, it is about 7 times contrast to previous status. However, in the eleventh seismic intensity region, where the centre of that hazard earthquake stay, it heavily damaged the ecosystem, and it manifested as obviously change of all vegetation types. The bare land area increased by 334.47km2, for instance, and that is 29.34 times to the earliest situation. All of woodland, grassland and farmland are likewise decreased by 308.04km2, 14.36km2. (2) On the analysis of landscape indexes which belong to beyond IX level region show that the ecosystem is originally fragile. The ecosystem's fragility is reflected by its diversity, homogeneity, fragmentation degree and dominance of local landscape ecosystem. But every target showed that the degeneration of environment and spatial heterogeneity, evidently, after quake. (3) Referring to Sturges' evaluation criterion, the landscape stability and the variability, integrated score of each landscape ecological damage region are 0.42, 0.66 and 0.80, separately; and the corresponding destruction can be defined as moderate damage, severe damage and awful damage. In another words, the integrated score of the eighth seismic intensity region should be below 0.4, and should belong to the slightly damaged level. Owning to the overall merit, after-disaster of the '5.12' Wenchuan Earthquake, reconstruction and reconstruction projects should focus mainly on the ninth and above seismic intensity regions.

ABSTRACT: Based on the calculation of water environmental capacity 1271 towns among the 51 most seriously affected counties in the Wenchuan Earthquake zone, Sichuan Province, the environmental suitability of different regions was assessed in order to provide a scientific reference point for the population and economy in post-Wenchuan Earthquake restoration and reconstruction. COD and NH <inf>3</inf>-N were used to assess water environmental capacity. First, the runoff amount of every unit was calculated using parameters such as rainfall, flow coefficient and runoff quantity; second, environmental capacity was estimated from the water environmental quality standards and water background quality; finally, environmental suitability was assessed based on calculation of the degree of water pollution stress. The results showed: (1) regional differences in water environmental capacity: the water capacity of villages and towns in the northern tri-province boundary region, the southeastern edge and the inner Sichuan Basin was high, while that in the western mountain area was low; (2) water pollution stress in the southwest was low and environmental suitability was high; (3) water pollution stress in the natural protection area in the western region was high and environmental suitability was low; (4) water pollution stress in areas close to the Chengdu Plain was high and the environmental suitability was low; (5) The distribution of environmental suitability level presents clear regionality as well as some dispersivity.

ABSTRACT: Natural heritage sites are common wealth of mankind. The protection and restoration of such sites must not be neglected in the process of reconstruction after the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province, China. Taking Dujiangyan city as a case study, this paper discusses the issues of protection and restoration of natural heritage sites. First, the authors, through field investigation, find out the damages to the natural heritage sites in Dujiangyan caused by the devastating earthquake. We then analyze the spatial patterns of geological hazards and ecological fragility of the Dujiangyan region. Based on the study results and the varying characteristics of different natural heritage sites, a planning framework and some feasible measures for post-earthquake reconstruction are suggested.

ABSTRACT: To understand the spatial pattern of hill slides created by Wenchuan Earthquake and its impacts on giant panda habitat, vegetation and panda habitat before and after the earthquake was analyzed based on remote sensing and GIS modeling in Dujiangyan region. Results showed that 12, 862hm2 of hill slides were created after this earthquake in this region, and 78.64% of these were in Longxihongkou nature reserve. Most of hill slides were distributed in mountains with the elevation between 1400-2400m above sea level and slope between 20-55°. About 21.63% of giant panda habitat was damaged by earthquake, which mainly occurred in elevation between 2200-3000m. The giant panda habitat was serious fragmented after earthquake, and the number of habitat patches was 7.7 times of that before earthquake. In Longxihongkou nature reserve, 32.15% of giant panda habitat was seriously damaged, while the damage of habitat outside reserve was moderate with the loss ratio of 9.83%. To conserve habitats for giant panda in this region, tourism inside the giant panda habitat should be forbidden in the process of restoration and re-construction.

ABSTRACT: As a typical ecological transition zone between dry valley and subalpine forest in the upper reaches of Minjiang River, the ecotone between Minjiang dry valley and montane forest (EDM) is an important residential area for Zang and Qiang minorities as well as plays an important role in inhibiting the dry valley expansion and in extending the ecological function of the subalpine forest. Nevertheless, the structure and function of the EDM ecosystem is greatly vulnerable to damage from human activity and natural disaster such as earthquake, landslide, collapse and long-term drought, despite of its important status in keeping regional stability and local resident development. Due to the inherent geologic instability and sensitivity as well as fragile property, the EDM was one of the most serious areas damaged by "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake, as the consequence of which the earthquake-damaged ecosystem restoration or reconstruction, and the hometown rebuilding are the current crucial tasks after the earthquake. Judged by the characteristics of earthquake-damaged ecosystem in combination with the fragile characteristics and the ecological importance of the EDM, therefore, it is suggested that the urgent and key scientific & technical issues include the rapid assessment on the characteristics of earthquake-destroyed ecosystem, the plan on detailed ecological restoration or reconstruction, the key techniques of beneficial "win-win" construction in both ecological restoration and economic development, the conservation of the survival vegetation in the earthquake, the reconstruction on the earthquake-damaged vegetation, the production restoration of earthquake-damaged farmland, comprehensive treatment on unstable slope, the improvement of low-benefit fuelwood forest, and the construction of scenic forest around the human settlement. Moreover, future researches include the monitoring and evaluation on the restoration process of the earthquake-damaged ecosystem, the fragile mechanism and ecological process of the EDM ecosystem, and the responsive and adaptive mechanisms of ecosystems to the changed environment after earthquake, should be strengthened to sustainable development of local society and regional ecology.

ABSTRACT: The Wenchuan Earthquake hit area, locating at the transition between Sichuan basin and Tibet Plateau, is one of most ecologically fragile regions in China, and is playing an important role in ecological security of Sichuan basin as well. The earthquake had not only caused huge human-being lost and property damage, but also had resulted in great impacts on ecosystems. Integrated remote sensing data and field survey, we have assessed the ecological impacts of the earthquake. The results suggested that; (1) 122 136 hm2 of forest, grassland and wetland ecosystems were destroyed in the earthquake, and mainly distributed in 10 counties, such as Wenchuan, Pengzhou, Mianzhu. (2) 65,584 hm2 of giant panda habitat was lost in the earthquake, 5.92% of total panda habitat, (3) 94.64% of damaged ecosystems were distributed in the areas with earthquake magnitude higher than VIII, 53.82% of damaged ecosystems in the areas with altitudes lower than 2000 meters above sea level, 66.09% of damaged ecosystems in the areas with slopes between 30-50°. Since the ecosystem damage resulted from the earthquake will threat ecological security of Sichuan basin, ecosystem restoration should be one of the main focuses in the context of earthquake hit area rebuilding plan.
