Primerjava pripravljenosti in odziva na potrese ter popotresne obnove v izbranih državah

Debenec, Marcel (author), Trobec, Tajan (mentor)

V diplomskem delu sem preučeval primerjavo različnih naravnih nesreč v gospodarsko različno razvitih državah, bolj podrobneje sem si kot primere primerljivih se naravnih nesreč izbral potrese. Za primere sem si izbral potres, ki je leta 1995 prizadel mesto Kobe na Japonskem, kot primer gospodarsko razvite države, potres, ki je prizadel kitajsko regijo Sečuan, kot primer naravne nesreče v srednje razviti državi, in še potres, ki je leta 2010 prizadel Haiti, kot primer naravne nesreče v eni izmed najmanj razvitih držav. Glavni namen naloge je bil primerjati, kakšna je bila pripravljenost na takšne izredne dogodke, kakšen je bil takojšen in dolgotrajen odziv, v tej primerjavi bi rad izvedel, kakšne so razlike med različno razvitimi državami pri podobnih dogodkih. S tem namenom sem opravljal kabinetno delo, kjer sem zbiral in preučeval različne slovenske ter angleške vire. Rezultati primerjave so bili, da so gospodarsko razvite države bolj pripravljene kot gospodarsko najmanj razvite države. Pri odzivu in po potresni obnovi so bile razvite države bolj organizirane ter hitre kot manj razvite države. Velika razlika med državami je tudi pri dolgotrajnem planiranju po potresu. Potrebne bi bile nadaljnje raziskave glede povezave med gospodarsko razvitostjo države in njeno pripravljenostjo, odzivom ter dolgotrajno obnovo in planiranjem po potresu.

• Title: Comparison of preparedness and response to earthquakes and post-earthquake reconstruction in selected countries

Abstract

In my diploma thesis, I studied the comparison of various natural disasters in economically differently developed countries, in more detail I chose earthquakes as examples of comparable natural disasters. As examples, I chose the earthquake that hit the city of Kobe in Japan in 1995, as an example of an economically developed country, the earthquake that hit the Sichuan region of China, as an example of a natural disaster in a middle-developed country, and the earthquake that hit the country of Haiti in 2010, as an example of a natural disaster in one of the least developed countries. The main purpose of the thesis was to compare what kind of preparedness was for such extraordinary events, what was the immediate response and what was the long-term response, in this comparison I would find out what are the differences between differently developed countries in similar events. For this purpose, I did exclusively desk work, where I collected and studied various Slovenian and English sources. The results of the comparison were that economically developed countries are better prepared than economically less developed countries. In response and after earthquake reconstruction, developed countries were more organized and faster than less developed countries. There are also large differences between countries in long-term planning after an earthquake. Further research is needed into the link between a country's economic development and its preparedness, response, and long-term recovery and planning after an earthquake.
