In this context, changes in landforms due to natural disasters have the potential to affect and, in some cases, even restrict human interaction with the ecosystem. In order to minimize fatalities and reduce the economic impact that accompanies their occurrence, proper planning is crucial. Land use planning can play an important role in reducing current and future risks related to natural hazards. Land use changes can lead to natural hazards and vice versa: natural hazards affect land uses. Therefore, planners may take into account areas that are susceptible to natural hazards when selecting favorable locations for land use development. Appropriate land use planning can lead to the determination of safe and non-safe areas for urban activities. This Special Issue focuses on land use planning for natural hazards. In this context, various types of natural hazards, such as land degradation and desertification, coastal hazard, floods, and landslides, as well as their interactions with human activities, are presented.Research & information: generalbicsscsea-level risestorm surgephysical vulnerabilitysocial vulnerabilityPeloponneseGreeceurbanizationfloodremote sensing/GISBirendranagarNepallandslidesgeographic information system (GIS)frequency ratiodensity ratiohuman activitiesland use planninghistoric flood dataold topographic mapsGIStemporal and spatial distribution of flood eventsmarshy areas and lakesflood hazard assessmentIntegrated land-use planningland degradationdesertificationpolicyphronetic approachResearch & information: generalBathrellos George Dedt1302766Skilodimou Hariklia DedtBathrellos George DothSkilodimou Hariklia DothBOOK9910557661903321Land Use Planning for Natural Hazards3026533UNINA
