The All-Hazards River Basin Governance Risk Assessment Strategy Under Covid-19 Pandemic Impact: A Social-Economic Vulnerability Case Study of Da-an River Basin Area in Central Taiwan

The past literatures regarding hazard risk cases and theories generally lack of risk-oriented spatial planning and dialogue, which induce so called “weakness policy” phenomena. The research contents and objectives of this study are to construct an all-hazards river basin governance index system under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic as the mean of research methodology, and applying AHP and GIS overlays as the analysis tools, to assess the disaster social-economic vulnerability and mitigation response on the case study site of Da-an river basin townships in central Taiwan. This study has found: 1) the noise and environmental pollutions caused by religion activities has decreased owing to the pandemic impact; 2) the Central Government’s "Stimulus Voucher" policy and tourists’ “retaliatory consumption” are benefiting local tourism industry under the pandemic.
