Anja Blacha breaks records on her expeditions. When it comes to analyzing climate risks in mountain regions around the world, Stefan Schneiderbauer breaks the mold for risk prevention. We invited the two of them to talk about resilience, responsibility and the allure of the unconquerable mountain.

The preparation is the real adventure

In Tadami, northern Japan, it is a tradition that at the age of six, children give relatives and friends a handwritten card with wishes of a disaster-free year.  An unusual wish for some perhaps, but between floods, landslides and mudslides, the people of Tadami have more experience with disasters than most. Over two months of field research, Paola Fontanella Pisa, a scholar of Asian languages, cultures and societies and the role that memory transmission plays in disaster prevention, collected the practices implemented by this small mountain community.

Ready for the worst

Il desiderio di essere maggiormente a contatto con la natura spinge sempre più persone a trascorrere del tempo in montagna. Si tratta di una tendenza positiva che però si accompagna a un aumento degli incidenti. Per rilevare aspetti rilevanti del comportamento tenuto da chi pratica attività sportive in montagna, il team di ricerca di Eurac Research ha svolto un'indagine non rappresentativa, ma utile a inquadrare il fenomeno. Sono stati compilati più di 3800 questionari online da residenti in Trentino-Alto Adige e Tirolo e intervistati di persona circa 300 turisti nella zona di Sesto Pusteria. 

Quale è la percezione del rischio e la preparazione di chi lo pratica?

The public management expert Josef Bernhart reminds us that the state is all of us. And the bureaucracy we like to moan about also creates security and guarantees equal rules for society. How managing risks and the day-to-day existence of mountain regions in low-income countries can be threatened without functioning administration and controls is something that geographer Stefan Schneiderbauer sees time and again. The two researchers work under conceivably different conditions, but with the same goal: sustainable development. 

Conversations between disciplines: interview with business economist Josef Bernhart and geographer Stefan Schneiderbauer.

"Our attitude toward the state is that of consumers" 

In the Alps, natural hazards are part of everyday life. How we perceive risk and cope when at risk is at the core of the research undertaken by Eurac Research’s Institute for Earth Observation. Lydia Pedoth shares her thoughts on strengthening the voices of women and increasing the visibility of their roles in disaster risk reduction.

Lidia Pedoth on the importance of communication when it comes to identifying, assessing and reducing the risks of disaster.
