Vulnerability to Earthquake Hazard: Bucharest Case Study, Romania
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2017 Recent seismic events show that urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to seismic damage, which leads to unprecedented levels of risk. Cities are complex systems and as such their analysis requires a good understanding of the interactions between space ...
