 | Measuring the Un-Measurable, The Challenge of Vulnerability |
| Description: |
This source publication is an essential reading for those interested in vulnerability research and the assessment and measurement of it. The publication by J. Birkmann and B. Wisner lads us through the thematic areas which were discussed, outlines the different scales of the assessment approaches presented, and analyses the nature of vulnerability measurement. In this context the term "measuring vulnerability" does not solely encompass quantitative approaches. It also seeks to discuss and develop all types of methods able to translate the abstract concept of vulnerability into practical tools, classifications and comparative judgements to be applied in the field.
