33rd BANGKOK International Congress on Disaster Management, Globalization & Sustainable Development: DMGSD-27

Call for papers/Topics

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

1. Core Independent Topics

Disaster Management

• The Disaster Lifecycle: Mitigation, preparedness, response, and long-term recovery strategies.

• Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment: Mapping geographic vulnerabilities and modeling historical disaster data.

• Emergency Infrastructure: Design of early warning systems, evacuation routing, and temporary shelter management.

• Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR): Localized training, community emergency response teams, and traditional survival knowledge preservation.

Globalization 

• Economic Integration: Global supply chains, transnational corporations, international trade agreements, and cross-border capital flows.

• Cultural and Social Homogenization: The spread of ideas, consumer habits, digital media, and Westernized urban lifestyles.

• Geopolitical Governance: The role of supranational organizations like the United Nations, World Bank, and World Trade Organization.

• Technological Interconnectedness: Global telecommunications, real-time satellite data sharing, and international internet infrastructure.

Sustainable Development 

• The Triple Bottom Line: Balancing environmental integrity, economic viability, and social equity.

• Renewable Energy Transition: Decarbonization, grid modernization, and moving away from fossil fuels.

• Circular Economy: Waste minimization, product-life extension, and industrial ecology.

• Social Inclusion and Equity: Eradicating poverty, ensuring food security, and providing universal access to clean water, education, and healthcare.

2. Interrelated Themes: Dual Connections

Disaster Management + Globalization

• Globalized Risk Transmission: How localized disasters (like an earthquake in a microchip-manufacturing hub) trigger global economic recessions and supply chain failures.

• International Humanitarian Logistics: The mobilization of global relief networks, cross-border aid deployment, and international search-and-rescue protocols.

• Global Disease Vectors: How rapid international travel and dense transport networks accelerate localized outbreaks into global pandemics.

• The Technology Transfer Pipeline: Sharing cutting-edge disaster tech, such as AI-driven weather modeling and satellite radar, from developed to developing nations.

Globalization + Sustainable Development

• The Environmental Footprint of Global Trade: The carbon emissions resulting from international shipping and globalized manufacturing loops.

• The Pollution Haven Hypothesis: Transnational corporations moving resource-heavy or polluting industries to developing nations with weaker environmental laws.

• Global Sustainable Goals: The coordination of global frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement.

• Green FinTech and Capital Flows: The rise of global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing and international carbon trading markets.

Sustainable Development + Disaster Management

• Eco-DRR (Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction): Using natural ecosystems, like restoring mangroves or wetlands, to act as physical buffers against storm surges and floods.

• Build Back Better (BBB): Ensuring that post-disaster reconstruction utilizes green building materials, renewable energy, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

• Climate Change Adaptation (CCA): Aligning long-term sustainable farming and water management strategies with the realities of increasing extreme weather events.

• Vulnerability Alleviation: Understanding how reducing systemic poverty and inequality directly decreases a population's vulnerability to natural hazards.

3. The Triple Nexus: Highly Interrelated Subtopics

These areas sit directly at the intersection of all three fields, where a shift in one immediately impacts the other two.

Climate-Induced Global Migration

• Subtopics: Environmental refugees crossing international borders; geopolitical tensions over resource scarcity; sustainable urban planning for cities absorbing displaced populations.

Global Food and Water Security Nexuses

• Subtopics: The vulnerability of globalized agricultural supply chains to multi-breadbasket failures caused by mega-droughts; sustainable agricultural practices as a tool for drought mitigation; the international politics of transboundary water rights during shortages.

Resilient Megacities and Rapid Urbanization

• Subtopics: The pressure of global economic migration on coastal megacities; the structural vulnerability of informal settlements (slums) to landslides and flooding; designing sustainable, smart-city infrastructure capable of withstanding catastrophic shocks.

Sovereignty vs. Globalized Disaster Governance

• Subtopics: The friction between national sovereignty and international intervention during massive environmental crises; the equity of global climate finance distribution (Loss and Damage funds); international legal frameworks for managing disasters that cross multiple borders.
