20.500.12556/RUL-133087 Analysis of flood fatalities Slovenian illustration Floods not only induce vast economic damages but also pose a great danger to human life. In Slovenia, floods rank number one on the scale of damage magnitude. Different factors external to the hazard of flooding influence the gravity and extent of the impacts. A comprehensive collection and analysis of the information related to the understanding of causative factors of human impacts can substantially contribute to the mitigation and the minimisation of fatalities and injuries. In this work, historical analysis was performed for flood fatalities in the years between 1926 and 2014, with 10 flood events that induced 74 casualties considered. A detailed collection and review on human impacts was made. Victims in cars have seemed to increase in recent years and rural areas tend to be more vulnerable and susceptible to having victims of flooding. With regards to gender, the majority of victims are male. The focus was on demographic aspects (age and gender) of fatalities and analysis of the circumstances of loss of life. Based on a description of the activities of victims during flood events and repetitive patterns, groups were made based on the type of flood fatality. Eight interviews were performed with rescuers and people who were affected by floods in order to obtain more extensive information on preventative measures, received help, and flood risk perception. floods fatalities circumstances of loss of life historical analysis accidents victims demography Slovenia poplave zgodovinska analiza nesreče žrtve demografija Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-11-11 08:29:07 2021-11-11 08:29:14 2022-09-12 04:14:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 14 str. iss. 1, art. 64 Vol. 12 Jan. 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 314:556.166(091)(497.4) 2073-4441 10.3390/w12010064 36535133 RAZ_Spitalar_Marusa_2020.pdf RAZ_Spitalar_Marusa_2020.pdf 1 2B4754514CB7AAA79B97A2512A234E83 c23bd57cc7732250a535380b592cdae89fbd8f809cf60422924f8ee12d9da62d 5752026f-42c1-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150874 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/1/64 1 03ae2837-42c1-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150873 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
