  3. Background • Growing global awareness on disasters, more commitments and mitigation efforts made by related stakeholders. • Growing global urban population, estimated at about 60% by 2030, requires disaster risk management to be integrated in urban development. • The number of people live in informality (slum), estimated 1 out of 3 urban residents, thus more vulnerable, and is significant to be addressed in policy formulation.

  4. Definition “Multidimensional phenomenon involving thorny issues related to: a fragile land tenure, noncompliance with urban norms and regulations, inadequate provision of public services and equipment and occupation of improper areas.” (Smolka and Biderman, 2010) Lacks one or more of the following: (1) Access to improved sanitation; (2) Access to improved water; (3) Access to security of tenure; (4) Durability of Housing; and (5) Access to sufficient living areas (UN Habitat)

  5. Informal Settlement: Typical Portrait(Source: UN Habitat)

  6. Risk(s) of Informal Settlement • Under representation/lack of participation • Neglected in planning • Dangerous location • Insufficient protection against disaster • Limited help due to informal status • Also contributing risks to the city/urban areas/other groups • Etc

  7. Informal Settlement: Vulnerability(Source: UN Habitat)

  8. Possible Solutions (1)

  9. Possible Solutions (2)

  10. Way Forward • Significant percentage of urban populations living informally are vulnerable to disaster. • Reducing/preventing the occurrence of informal settlement contribute to reduction of risks to the respected group as well as the city. • New paradigm, policies, approaches and methods are needed to address this issue in the future.
