Abstract: (3417 Views)
Background and objective: The assessment of vulnerability to drought in different areas is a new scope in literature in spatial planning and environmental planning, and various researchers, according to their research subjects, have presented different approaches in this subject. Considering that Iran is also one of the countries exposed to extensive droughts, the necessity of categorizing and recognizing the theoretical frameworks affecting the formation of various vulnerability assessment approaches for researchers in this field has become more urgent.
Method: This paper tries to classify the approaches to drought vulnerability assessment by using the comparative study method and considering the relationship between the epistemology and ontology of the "drought vulnerability", and to provide a theoretical framework for the ontology of approaches to assess the vulnerability to drought.
Findings: Vulnerability assessment approaches to drought can be divided into three categories and a dual classification from the ontology point of view; from the perspective of epistemology, these approaches are influenced by four concepts including effects, adaptability, risk and model.
Results: The drought Vulnerability Assessment Approaches from the perspective of epistemology are influenced by four concepts including effects, adaptability, risk and model, and from the perspective of ontology, they can be divided into two general categories. Each of these categories itself contains smaller categories that are affected by how vulnerabilities are defined. The most important achievement of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between each of these categories and the epistemological roots that govern them, which makes researchers, prior to assessing vulnerability to drought, having sufficient knowledge of the epistemic roots of approach to best evaluation.
