• "Urban and Rural Landslide Hazard and Exposure Mapping Using Landsat and Corona Satellite Imagery for Tehran and the Alborz Mountains, Iran"
  Fekete, AIMS Geosciences, 3 (1): 37-66, 2017
  Tehran, Karaj, Quazvin and nearby rural areas in the Alborz Mountains, Iran are prone to earthquake and landslide hazards. Risks for settlement areas, transport infrastructure and pastoralist areas exist due to a combination of natural as well as man-made factors. This study analyses data derived from satellite and airborne sensors, specifically, Landsat and declassified Corona data to identify landslide occurrence and urban sprawl. In a Geographic Information System, other data such as geology, topography, road network and river flows were integrated from various sources. A digital elevation model (DEM) was computed based on contour lines that were extracted from topographic maps. The DEM allows for mapping topographic factors such as slope angle and aspect. Finally, change detection analysis has documented urban sprawl in massive dimensions since the 1970s. A multi-criteria landslide hazard and exposure zonation map was developed for a small rural area where several settlements and segments of roads were affected by landslides. The estimated risk areas were then overlaid with real landslide occurrences. The match of hypothetical and real event occurrence areas demonstrated the feasibility of this approach. The main contribution of this paper is to inform about recent landslide risks in Iran and how certain factors can be derived from spatial information.

• "Spatial exposure aspects contributing to vulnerability and resilience assessments of urban critical infrastructure in a flood and blackout context." In: Special Issue by Taubenböck / Geiß „Remote sensing for multi-scale mapping“ Natural Hazards: 1-26
  Fekete, Alexander, Katerina Tzavella, Roland Baumhauer, Natural Hazards, 2016
  Blackouts aggravate the situation during an extreme river-flood event by affecting residents and visitors of an urban area. But also rescue services, fire brigades and basic urban infrastructure such as hospitals have to operate under suboptimal conditions. This paper aims to demonstrate how affected people, critical infrastructure, such as electricity, roads and civil protection infrastructure are intertwined during a flood event, and how this can be analysed in a spatially explicit way. The city of Cologne (Germany) is used as a case study since it is river-flood prone and thousands of people had been affected in the floods in 1993 and 1995. Components of vulnerability and resilience assessments are selected with a focus of analysing exposure to floods, and five steps of analysis are demonstrated using a geographic information system. Data derived by airborne and spaceborne earth observation to capture flood extent and demographic data are combined with place-based information about location and distance of objects. The results illustrate that even fire brigade stations, hospitals and refugee shelters are within the flood scenario area. Methodologically, the paper shows how criticality of infrastructure can be analysed and how static vulnerability assessments can be improved by adding routing calculations. Fire brigades can use this information to improve planning on how to access hospitals and shelters under flooded road conditions.

• "Critical Data Source; Tool or even Infrastructure? Challenges of Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing for Disaster Risk Governance"
  Fekete, Alexander; Tzavella, Katerina; Armas, Iuliana; Binner, Jane; Garschagen, Matthias; Giupponi, Carlo; Mojtahed, Vahid; Pettita, Marcello; Schneiderbauer, Stefan; Serre, Damien, ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2015
  Disaster risk information is spatial in nature and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) play an important key role by the services they provide to society. In this context, to risk management and governance, in general, and to civil protection, specifically (termed differently in many countries, and includes, for instance: civil contingencies in the UK, homeland security in the USA, disaster risk reduction at the UN level). The main impetus of this article is to summarize key contributions and challenges in utilizing and accepting GIS and RS methods and data for disaster risk governance, which includes public bodies, but also risk managers in industry and practitioners in search and rescue organizations. The article analyzes certain method developments, such as vulnerability indicators, crowdsourcing, and emerging concepts, such as Volunteered Geographic Information, but also investigates the potential of the topic Critical Infrastructure as it could be applied on spatial assets and GIS and RS itself. Intended to stimulate research on new and emerging fields, this article’s main contribution is to move spatial research toward a more reflective stance where opportunities and challenges are equally and transparently addressed in order to gain more scientific quality. As a conclusion, GIS and RS can play a pivotal role not just in delivering data but also in connecting and analyzing data in a more integrative, holistic way.

• "Adding value to critical infrastructure research and disaster risk management: the resilience concept." in "Special Issue 'Resilient Cities'"
  Bach C., Bouchon S., Fekete A., Birkmann, J., Serre D., 6.1.2013, Online since 15 July 2014, connection on 22 July 2014, Hg.: S.A.P.I.EN.S [Online]
  In recent years, resilience has become a key term in disaster risk management (DRM). Its potential has been mainly discussed with respect to social-ecological systems as well as communities. With respect to Critical Infrastructures (CIs) however, resilience and vulnerability are often used without clear definition and reference to the DRM context. This paper aims to conceptualize vulnerability and resilience for the CI context. Building on socio-ecological approaches, the paper will outline the added value that a more stringent conceptualization of resilience offers for DRM of CIs. After an introduction of CIs and their meaning in the context of DRM (Section 1), the distinct features of the resilience concept and its application in different disciplines are presented (Section 2). Some of the governance challenges associated with the implementation of resilience strategies are presented (Section 3) before conclusions are drawn (Section 4).

• "Benefits and Challenges of Resilience and Vulnerability for Disaster Risk Management"
  Fekete, Alexander, Gabriele Hufschmidt, and Sylvia Kruse, International Journal of Disaster Risk Science 5, no. 1 (2014/03/01): 3-20
  This article addresses resilience and vulnerability as two prominent concepts within disaster risk science. The authors provide an overview of current uses and benefits of and challenges to resilience and vulnerability concepts for disaster risk management (DRM). The article summarizes the evolution of these concepts and of attempts to define them precisely, and addresses the potential benefits of conceptual vagueness. The usage and conception of resilience and vulnerability within a selection of strategies and legislations in DRM are compared. Complementing this analysis of disaster risk research and management practice, a survey identifies some of the benefits of and challenges to the concepts of resilience and vulnerability as seen by a peer-community. Synthesizing the three approaches, we conclude that a certain conceptual and methodological “haze” prevails, which hampers the transfer of information and findings within disaster risk science, from science to practice, and vice versa. But this vagueness offers opportunities for communication between disaster risk science, policy, and practice. Overall, evaluations of the resilience and vulnerability concepts are lacking, which demands the development of criteria to identify and assess the challenges to and benefits of resilience and vulnerability for DRM.

• "Loss and Damage as an Alternative to Resilience and Vulnerability? Preliminary Reflections on an Emerging Climate Change Adaptation Discourse."
  Fekete, Alexander, and Patrick Sakdapolrak, International Journal of Disaster Risk Science 5, no. 1 (2014/03/01): 88-93
  One relatively novel way of assessing the characteristics and limitations of resilience and vulnerability (R&V) is undertaken in this article by investigating a growing alternative paradigm—loss and damage (L&D) policy. The idea of L&D as an emerging policy may be surprising to many in the disaster risk management community, and so we first outline the origins of this trend, and then explore the potential benefits and pitfalls of adopting it. This short article represents our preliminary opinions and observations regarding this reintroduction of a long-established concept. We also present results from a very brief peer-group survey on some of the first immediate reactions towards L&D policy. At this early stage, this article cannot offer a full-fledged analysis, but our reflections may serve as a starting point to encourage further discussion.

• "Safety and security target levels: Opportunities and challenges for risk management and risk communication"
  Fekete, A., International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction: 67-76, 2012
  This paper reviews a selection of target levels for safety and security in order to identify their common properties. It is accompanied by a brief investigation of several key terms used in risk management. Risk management is used as an umbrella term for the various research areas dealing with multiple hazards, impacts types and measures for dealing with them. The paper draws upon examples and experience from the wider field of disaster risk research and civil protection. A concept which identifies the common properties and content of risk management goals in general is then devised. Normative implications and challenges in applying risk management goals and the use of terminology are discussed. Finally, two main future research areas are briefly outlined: the role and responsibility of the researcher or observer, and the ways of making use of risk management goals in risk communication. This paper provides fundamental information on examples of risk management goals, common properties and risk communication as compiled for and used by certain national authorities in civil protection in Germany. However, its findings may also be useful for fellow researchers within the disaster risk, climate change, vulnerability and resilience community, and for practitioners in the field of risk, and crisis or emergency management. The future applications of these findings will be useful, especially when developing risk management goals for specific user groups and different levels of analysis.

  Fekete, A., Lauwe, P. and Geier, W., Int. J. Critical Infrastructures Vol. 8, No. 4: 336–353, 2012
  Strategic goals help streamlining risk management efforts, and criticality assessments of infrastructures benefit from such goals. This paper offers an introduction into recent German civil protection activities on this topic at national level. It offers a transferable concept on how to identify, document and justify priorities regarding critical infrastructure services. Based on human values it enables to prioritise critical and urgent areas for risk management, in this case in the field of infrastructures. Critical values and key services are identified and then prioritised using time as a criterion. Finally, infrastructure elements are identified and prioritised with a given research unit.

• "Spatial disaster vulnerability and risk assessments: challenges in their quality and acceptance"
  Fekete, A., Natural Hazards. Volume 61, Number 3: 1161-1178, 2012
  The main purpose of this paper is to document the challenges within spatial risk and vulnerability assessments in order to instigate an open discussion about opportunities for improvements in approaches to disaster risk. This descriptive paper identifies challenges to quality and acceptance and is based on a case study of a social vulnerability index of river floods in Germany. The findings suggest the existence of a vast range of challenges, most of which are typical for many spatial vulnerability assessments. Some of these challenges are obvious while others, such as the stigmatisation of ‘the vulnerable’ in vulnerability maps, are probably less often the subject of debate in the context of quantitative assessments. The discussion of challenges regarding data, methodology, concept and evaluation of vulnerability assessment may help similar interdisciplinary projects in identifying potential gaps and possibilities for improvement. Moreover, the acceptance of the outcomes of spatial risk assessments by the public will benefit from their critical and open-minded documentation.

• "Common criteria for the assessment of critical infrastructures"
  Fekete, A., International Journal of Disaster Risk Science. 2/2011: 15-24 Volume 2, Number 1
  Society is reliant on infrastructure services, such as information and communication technology, energy, water, and food supply, but also on governmental, cultural, and search and rescue organizations. The goal of project Kritis-KAT at the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance in Germany is the development of generic criteria for the identification and evaluation of infrastructures regarded as “critical” for society. Acknowledging that full protection against all threats and cascading effects is not possible, the approach focuses on the impacts rather than the prevention of threats. The development of generic criteria requires the prioritization of infrastructures and identification of their key characteristics for civil protection purposes, risk management activities, and strategic proactive planning. For this purpose, the development of a national critical infrastructure priority inventory is based on a thorough examination of the range of criteria typically used in similar approaches. The specific focus of this paper is to identify and simplify essential characteristics of infrastructure criticality. The main outcome of this study is the development of common criteria generally applicable to a variety of infrastructures.

  Alexander Fekete examines in his dissertation how social vulnerability to river floods in Germany can be characterized and measured at sub-national scale. He focuses particularly on the question of how the abstract concept of social vulnerability can be operationalized in the context of flood risk in Germany and how respective indicators might help to identify different patterns of vulnerability.This dissertation also was conducted within the framework of the Disaster Information System for Large-Scale Flood Events Using Earth Observation (DISFLOOD) project, and the results are accessible in a web-based geographical disaster information system (Natural Disasters Networking Platform).

  The aim of this paper is to introduce scale as a basic tool for improving the conceptual structure of vulnerability assessments. The terminology useful for vulnerability assessments and the current use of scale issues in theoretical vulnerability frameworks will be discussed briefly. Two case studies working on sub-national and on local level will demonstrate problems as well as benefits resulting from scale implications. Both assessments analyse vulnerability in context to river floods in Germany. In order to develop a spatial comparison and to integrate topics like environment and society, vulnerability assessments need to be aware of scale implications. The main point is that a scale debate on a broader spectrum than just in technical spatial terms is missing in vulnerability and risk conceptualisations so far. Vulnerability assessments and scale are highly intertwined, not only in technical application but also in conceptualisation, which needs more scientific development.

  Fekete, A., Nat. Hazards Earth Syst. Sci., 9, 393-403, 2009
  Social vulnerability indices are a means for generating information about people potentially affected by disasters that are e.g. triggered by river-floods. The purpose behind such an index is in this study the development and the validation of a social vulnerability map of population characteristics towards river-floods covering all counties in Germany. This map is based on a composite index of three main indicators for social vulnerability in Germany – fragility, socio-economic conditions and region. These indicators have been identified by a factor analysis of selected demographic variables obtained from federal statistical offices. Therefore, these indicators can be updated annually based on a reliable data source. The vulnerability patterns detected by the factor analysis are verified by using an independent second data set. The interpretation of the second data set shows that vulnerability is revealed by a real extreme flood event and demonstrates that the patterns of the presumed vulnerability match the observations of a real event. It comprises a survey of flood-affected households in three federal states. By using logistic regression, it is demonstrated that the theoretically presumed indications of vulnerability are correct and that the indicators are valid. It is shown that indeed certain social groups like the elderly, the financially weak or the urban residents are higher risk groups.

• "Massenbewegungen im Elbursgebirge, Iran – im Spannungsfeld zwischen natürlicher Stabilität und anthropogener Beeinflussung."
  Fekete, A., Opus Universität Würzburg, 2005
  Massenbewegungen (in englischer Literatur landslides, in französischer Literatur glissements de terre) sind das Symptom von Hanginstabilitäten in einem Naturraum. Die Wahl des Überbegriffs Massenbewegungen und die Untergliederung der einzelnen Stadien des Prozessablaufs wurden im Rahmen eines pragmatischen Ansatzes dieser Arbeit neu festgelegt. Im Untersuchungsgebiet im Elbursgebirge im Norden des Iran stellen Massenbewegungen ein Phänomen dar, welches die Kulturlandschaft bedroht, aber auch durch sie selbst bedingt ist. In dieser Arbeit wurden Abhängigkeitsbeziehungen zwischen menschlichem Eingriff und natürlichem Stabilitätspotential untersucht. In einem heuristischen Ansatz wurden Faktoren analysiert, welche Massenbewegungen bedingen oder auslösen. Faktoren wie geologischer Untergrund, Bodenauflage, Hangneigung, Exposition, Hydrologie, Vegetationsbedeckung oder Straßenbau wirken in unterschiedlicher Weise auf die Verursachung von Massenbewegungen ein. Die Analyse der Tragweite und Relevanz dieser Faktoren erfolgte mittels einer Faktorenüberlagerung in einem Geographischen Informationssystem (GIS). Das GIS bildete die Schnittstelle für Fernerkundungsdaten, Kartenmaterial, Geländeaufnahme und das digitale Geländemodell (DEM, bzw. DTM). Neben Photos, Beschreibungen, GPS-Punkten und Bodenproben aus der Geländeaufnahme im Iran wurden CORONA- und LANDSAT-ETM+ - Satellitendaten sowie Klimaaufzeichnungen, Topographische und Geologische Karten auf ihre Aussagekraft hin analysiert. Durch Verschneidung der Datenebenen konnten Gefährdungszonen hinsichtlich Massenbewegungen ausgewiesen werden. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit den vorhandenen Befunden über aufgetretene Massenbewegungen überprüft. Die Übereinstimmung der Gefährdungszonen mit der Verteilung vorgefundener Massenbewegungsformen bestätigte die Richtigkeit des methodischen Vorgehens. Bei der Auswahl und Bearbeitung von Daten und Methodik lagen die Schwerpunkte im Anwendungsbezug und in der Qualitätssicherung. Zur Erstellung des digitalen Höhenmodells wurde ein eigener Ansatz zur Extraktion von Höhenlinien aus Topographischen Karten verfolgt. Das Ergebnis der Arbeit ist ein kostengünstiger, pragmatischer und übertragbarer Ansatz zur Bewertung des Gefährdungspotentials von Massenbewegungen.
