INTRODUCTION
 It was mainly taken into consideration in urban areas ,
but as for present time is concerned climate change
has made almost made a homogenous impact and
now rural areas are also being carefully monitored .
 INCREASED URBANIZATION (CAUSES) :- Increasing
urbanization has lead to poorly planned settlements
(Himalayan states) which is the major disaster risk
driver
 Rapid urbanization has lead to the increasing exposure
of populations and infrastructure to potential hazards.
 There is a need of better plan growth in terms of
INFRASTRUCTURE and CONSTRUCTION by
taking hazard and risk parameters that can protect
these huge investments from major damages .
MAINSTREAMING DRM IN LAND USE
PLANNING
 INTEGRATED RISK INFORMATION
 MANAGEMENT

 When the mentioned steps are being implemented

in land use plan and implementing .
1. ZONING
2. INVESTEMENT
3. BUILDING REGULATION
These dictate the land use , land management ,
infrastructure designs and development .
DRM AND LUP
 NATURAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT :
Related to :
Humans , physical vulnerability ,
capacity and development
This is the prime focus and is called as
Hazard ,vulnerability and risk assessment report in
land use planning .
 Risk Governance : Disaster risk and emergency
planning are taken as development concerns e,g.
LAWDA
 Avoidance , Mitigation , Management of residual
risk .
FRAME WORK
COMPARISON
 LUP :-
This is the process of
regulating the use of
land by a central
authority . Usually this is
done to promote more
desirable social and
environmental
outcomes as well as a
more efficient use of
resources .
 RSLUP :-
RSLUP is a planning
that integrates risk
reduction to allow
communities to find
the right mix of both
development and risk
reduction .
CONCEPT
 Risk sensitiveness adds two considerations to
conventional land use planning
1. DRR Parameters and objectives : Hazard ,
vulnerability , risk and capacity parameters are
identified , collected and integrated with
traditional land use planning ( e.g socio-economic
profiles , demographics , and transport networks )
2. Integration through formal govt. activities :
Measures are taken to ensure understanding ,
acceptance , support for the plan
KEY POINTS
 Promote sustainable development and controlled
urban growth without generating new risks

 Existing land development practices , identify and

mitigate root cause of disaster risk

 Modify and reduce vulnerable condition of people

and programmes

CORE NEEDS
 ASSESSING RISK

 REDUCE, AVOID AND ELIMINATE RISK

 MANAGING RESIDUAL RISK

 RSLUP PREPARATION
 ZONING ORDIANCE :- Hazard mapping for zoning and
development
 HAZARD ANALYSIS :- To develop risk reduction policies
and strategies which helps in ;
Population settlement
Infrastructure and buildings
Economic activities and livelihoods
 NEW RISKS :- Identify new risks by analyzing existing
risks
 Designing , implementation, monitoring and evaluation
of DRR related PPAs (Programs, projects and activities)
METHODOLOGY
 GAPS ANALYSIS :-
Gaps are the desired qualities which are to be
added to be in legal and institutional arrangements
and implementations .

 SWOC ANALYSIS :- Strengths , weaknesses ,

opportunities and challenges .
PHASES
 PHASE 1 :- Organization and preparation , gaining
of preliminary understanding of prevailing risks

 PHASE 2 :- Data collection , information about

land use management and methods for DRM

 PHASE 3 :- Analysis and diagnosis

 PHASE 4 :- Initial findings and recommendations

SIGNIFICANCE
 DECREASE IN VULNERABILITY
 INCREASING RESILLIENCE
 MITIGATION OF POTENTIAL DAMAGES AND
LOSSES
 RIGHT USE OF LAND
