The study analyses current vulnerabilities, and by projecting changes in climate, anticipates further vulnerabilities in the future up to 2050. Three scenarios for the future of Labutta are envisaged, taking into account the potential impact of climate change and the required adaptation and mitigation action. Recommendations are issued to avoid the worst case future scenario A, which is currently the most likely.

This assessment analyzes the vulnerability of the ecological, infrastructure and socio-economic conditions of Labutta in relation to the present and projected climatic conditions. It concludes that vulnerabilities in Labutta are currently high and that changes in climate will require decision-makers in Labutta Township to plan for increased coastal flooding, warmer temperatures, more frequent extreme heat days, greater amounts of rain within a shorter monsoon season, salinization of water…

UN-Habitat supports city, regional and national authorities to improve and adopt policies, plans and designs for more compact, socially inclusive, better integrated and connected cities that foster sustainable urban development and are resilient to climate change. As Myanmar is pushing for a sustainable approach to urbanization, it increasingly needs planning capacity. This document is intended to support such development of technical planning expertise.

Sagaing city is lying on the Sagaing Fault, however no studies have been carried out to assess their earthquake related risk. In addition, Sagaing has undergone recent urban developments with the construction of higher storey buildings. In this regard, earthquake related risk assessment in Sagaing is carried out to estimate the damages. The findings from this report can lead to develop comprehensive risk reduction programs addressing the specific vulnerabilities as well as guiding the future…

This paper tends to make earthquake risk assessment in Pyay City. The results will be in useful in developing comprehensive risk reduction programs addressing the specific vulnerabilities in the city. The risk assessment will guide to future development in the cities along with UN-Habitat’s Myanmar Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Programme and also with broader DRR activities and those of Government.

This study tends to develop the seismic risk assessment in Bago City. The study findings will lead to develop comprehensive risk reduction programs addressing the specific vulnerabilities as well as guide the future development in the cities along with UN-Habitat’s Myanmar Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Programme and also with broader DRR-WG activities and those of Government. The main objective of this paper is to estimate the damages and casualties in Bago City.

This paper tends to estimate the damage and casualties, to develop seismic risk and related assessment of building structures (Public, Private, and Pagodas) for the maximum estimated seismic scenarios in Taungoo City. The study findings will lead to develop comprehensive risk reduction programs addressing the specific vulnerabilities as well as guide the future development in the cities along with UN-Habitat’s Myanmar Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Programme and also with broader DRR-WG…
