Focus And Scope

Applied Science in Disaster Journal (ASDJ) focuses on the development, application, and integration of scientific and technological approaches to disaster risk reduction, disaster management, and resilience building. The journal aims to publish high-quality research that bridges applied science and practical implementation in addressing disasters at local, national, and global levels.

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies, and technical reports that explore innovative solutions and evidence-based practices related to disasters caused by natural, technological, and human-induced hazards.

Focus

The primary focus of ASDJ is the application of science and technology to:

  • Disaster risk assessment and mitigation

  • Disaster preparedness, response, and recovery

  • Resilience of communities, infrastructure, and environments

  • Innovation and applied technologies in disaster management

Scope

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruptions, droughts, and climate-related disasters)

  • Technological and industrial disasters

  • Disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies and policies

  • Early warning systems and decision-support systems

  • Geospatial analysis, GIS, and remote sensing for disaster applications

  • Environmental science and climate change adaptation related to disasters

  • Structural engineering, infrastructure safety, and resilient construction

  • Emergency management systems and disaster logistics

  • Public health, medical response, and epidemiology in disaster situations

  • Information systems, data science, and artificial intelligence for disaster management

  • Community-based disaster risk management and social resilience

  • Post-disaster recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction

By promoting interdisciplinary and applied research, Applied Science in Disaster Journal seeks to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and practical solutions that enhance disaster preparedness, reduce disaster impacts, and support sustainable development.
