生態與防災

臺北科技大學 115-1 學期課程，課號 363654。

課程大綱

Disaster is divided to natural and anthropogenic disaster. Either natural or anthropogenic disaster damage can be minimized by proper management, including pre- and post- management. Learning from the history, several disasters have been identified and more and more technologies have been developed to mitigate the possible disasters. In this course, natural disasters are focus because it is more difficult to predict and prevent. With the changing environment and climate, the intensity and frequency of natural disasters become more strong and unpredictable; therefore, the disaster management is very important. Real cases for different types of disaster will be chosen and discussed in this course. Facing these disasters, what we can do and how we can prepare is a survival issue. Through the comprehensive discussion, the students are expected to learn the structural and nonstructural solutions for the various disasters. Especially, the solutions are focus on ecological engineering and environmental friendly methods. A new and widely accepted idea, natural-based solutions (NBS) or ecosystem-based approaches, is increasingly applied to disaster management and will be discussed in this course.
