Assignment Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Write a research paper (min 2000 words not counting reference list) about a physical intervention\/project in a city with slums (eviction, relocation\/resettlement or upgrade) which can help reduce disaster risk. Use a variety of sources (Minimum 5 sources). <\/span><\/span>Only 1 source from class used for section 5 counts towards the minimum 5 sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each student must do a pre-research to identify a project in a city with slums and post it on the google doc on Canvas Week 6 for approval by Sunday Week 6 (first come, first served) LATE PENALTIES APPLY FOR MISSING or LATE PROPOSALS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DO NOT STUDY POLICE INTERVENTIONS OR SOCIAL PROGRAMS, IT NEEDS TO BE EITHER AN EVICTION, RELOCATION OR AN UPGRADE WITH A CLEAR PHYSICAL COMPONENT. THE INTERVENTION NEEDS TO BE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED NOT JUST A PLAN.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Your final research paper should be a comprehensive description of the government\/ NGO \/ Community organized physical intervention, characteristics of the case, disaster history and a critique of the approach implemented based on the content studied in class.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Content (all should be included in paper in independent sections) <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(100 POINTS):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Introduction to the study area (10 POINTS):<\/strong>location map, identify the country, city and slum name, population.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Disaster history of the city and slum (20 POINTS):<\/strong> <\/span>Describe the hazards in the slum area\/city. Discuss the vulnerability analysis for each of the 4 types: Physical, Environmental, Social and Economic. <\/span><\/span><\/em>Describe each type of vulnerability as it applies to the slum and also summarize it in a table, see example below. Provide both within this section. <\/span>Review Coppola Chapter 3 reading on Week 5 for guidance on each vulnerability type (does not count for minimum 5 sources). Do not include the definitions for each type of vulnerability, just the analysis about your case.  <\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Description of the urban intervention (either eviction, relocation\/resettlement or upgrade) (30 POINTS):<\/strong> <\/span>(This should be the biggest section of the paper) <\/span>When did the intervention start?

  5. Discussion of the results of the urban intervention (20 POINTS):<\/strong> <\/span>What are the results of the intervention? Was it successful? Does it contribute to making this community more resilient to disasters? Explain how or why?<\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/em><\/strong>You can talk about the project in your slum and further analyze how in the long term that project contributes to a more resilient community with less of the vulnerabilities discussed in section 3 or if it did not change anything. <\/span>If not successful, what can be<\/span><\/em><\/span> <\/span>improved in this type of intervention? Discuss any future projects to follow up this one if available.<\/span><\/em> <\/span>Use at least one reading from class from the week covering your specific intervention type and other sources. <\/span>Only 1 reading from class counts towards the minimum 5 sources. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Reference list in APA style<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
