摘要：This paper argues that it is necessary to move
beyond the apparent inevitability of natural
hazards by using forward land use planning
to significantly reduce their impacts. Land use
planning, as a focus for building knowledge and
information of various types associated with
land, is central to reducing the risks associated
with natural hazards. Planning mechanisms offer
significant opportunities to reduce both the initial
likelihood of natural hazards impacting on human
settlements and natural systems, and to reduce
the potential consequences of those events that
do occur. This paper sets out a training approach
that complements forward land use planning for
natural hazards.
