Contributor Thissen, W.A.H. (promotor) Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Multi Actor Systems Date 2009-11-10 Abstract This resarch thesis focuses on vulnerability of societies in low lying coastal and deltaic environments to tropical cyclonic storms and floods. Models that explore vulnerability under various planned and unplanned conditions hardly exist. Within the Andhra Pradesh Cyclone Hazard Mitigation Project an Expert Decision Support System was designed and implemented linking coastal vulnerability to integrated coastal zone management. This model development provided unique material and experience for this PhD research. The interpretation and critical inquiry of the model has led to new knowledge on the design of such a model as well as on the use of its results in reducing vulnerability through planning.
