Risk society and planning: the case of flood disaster management in Turkish cities
Şenol Balaban, Meltem; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009)
Global warming and climate change is believed to increase the hydro-meteorological natural disasters. Floods, the most widespread of natural hazards, are expected to occur more frequently and severely in the near future. This means that urban areas of Turkey are likely to be under intensive threat of floods, the adverse impacts of which are already considered only next to that of earthquakes. The recent disaster policy of United Nations together with contemporary interpretations of risk society shifted to c...

Risk sensemaking, broadband technology and identities: A critical perspective
Gephart, Robert; Cohen, Eleanor; Topal, Çağrı (2005-01-01)
This paper investigates sensemaking by rural community residents concerning a large scale, broad band computer network - the Alberta SuperNet. Our goal is to understand the impacts of this broad band network on rural communities and to use critical theory to understand these impacts. Data were collected during 9 town hall meetings held in rural communities. Discussions during the meetings were recorded, transcribed and digitized. We identified key themes in the discussions and focused on opportunities and r...
Risk-sensitive particle filters for mitigating sample impoverishment
Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-10-01)
Risk-sensitive filters (RSF) put a penalty to higher-order moments of the estimation error compared to conventional filters as the Kalman filter minimizing the mean square error (MSE). The result is a more cautious filter, which can be interpreted as an implicit and automatic way to increase the state noise covariance. On the other hand, the process of jittering, or roughening, is well known in particle filters to mitigate sample impoverishment. The purpose of this contribution is to introduce risk-sensitiv...
