Abstract

The most important message delivered by this book is that water management is multifaceted and the approaches to deal with water-related issues are diverse so that wise water governance including the incorporation of wise water management into urban planning should be pursued in order to achieve an integrated solution for sustainability. The emphasis of the discussions in this book, includes (1) disaster and urbanization; (2) monitoring and simulation of water-related disaster; (3) integrating urban planning and water-related disaster management using shared indicators. In planning process, it is helpful to employ shared indicators for cooperative design in order to integrate the requirements from both planning site and disaster management site.
