UE-01-03 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Thesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2002 This study was conducted to respond to the current situation of Disaster Risk in residential and commercial areas of Vientiane. It attempts to assess the existing disaster risks in these areas in order to propose short-term mitigatory measures and long-term urban planning measures. The study is mainly based on interviews with residents/shop keepers, village committee, market committee, concerned organizations and government/local government officials. The disaster risk was assessed by individually assessing its constituents, that is Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity. Using a risk model, the risk values as well as the risk factors for both study areas (Dongpalane Tha Village and That Luang Market) were calculated. The analysis has shown that hazard, vulnerability and capacity are in critical condition in both study areas and the residential areas are more at risk than commercial areas due to illegal connections of electricity and use of flammable building materials. The root causes for these appalling conditions were identified as poor enforcement of urban planning regulations and inefficient urban management. On the basis of these findings, the study recommends participatory urban environmental management and revision of the regulatory framework.
