The area subject of this study stretches across 580 square kilometers, covering less than 1 percent of the national territory, but housing about 50 percent of Senegal's urban population. Much of the rapid population growth of the Dakar Metropolitan Area is taking place beyond the boundaries of the Department of Dakar (the city center), in peri-urban areas that combine two disquieting features: they present significant vulnerability to some natural hazards, and they have unclear administrative and governance arrangements, often being out of the direct oversight of established urban and rural local governments. Situations like this are not unusual in developing countries, and call for more systematic attention to hazard risk management in peri-urban areas, including a better understanding and awareness of the nature of the hazards that they face as well as of the institutional capacities and measures that would be necessary to manage them better. The objective of this pilot study is, therefore, two-pronged. First, the study intends to propose a new methodology for quick assessment of natural hazard risks at a metropolitan region scale, using new tools of spatial analysis based on geographic information systems (GIS) data. Second, the study aims to apply the principles and diagnostic questionnaire of the climate change city primer developed by the East Asia region of the World Bank to get a comprehensive view of the institutional framework for climate change-related hazard risk management existing in the city at this time. Bringing the spatial and the institutional analyses together, the study proposes and starts to develop a number of dissemination and awareness-raising tools that can help to inform different stakeholders about the general parameters of the natural hazard risks facing the Dakar Metropolitan area. The pilot study concludes with a broad action plan for Dakar, to ramp up disaster management practices, as motivation for a stakeholder debate to define subsequently a set of specific and viable actions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTSADVERSE EFFECTSAERIAL PHOTOGRAPHYAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTUREAIR POLLUTIONARMED CONFLICTSBACTERIABASIC NEEDSBAYBEACHBEACHESBLUEPRINTBUILDING DENSITYCITIESCITIZENSCITY PLANNINGCLASSIFICATIONCLIMATECLIMATE ANALYSISCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATIC VARIATIONSCOASTCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL EROSIONCOASTAL ZONESCOMMUNESCONSTRUCTIONCONURBATIONCREDCURRENT POPULATIONCURRENTSDAMAGESDAMSDATA SOURCESDATESDEMOGRAPHIC FACTORSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT NETWORKDISASTERDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER PREVENTION MEASURESDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RESEARCHDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RESPONSE SYSTEMDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDRAINAGEDROUGHTDROUGHTSEARLY WARNINGEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECONOMIC TRENDSECOSYSTEMEDUCATIONAL MEASURESENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGYEXCESSIVE CONCENTRATION OF POPULATIONEXISTING RESOURCESEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFAMINEFIREFIRESFLOODFLOOD EVENTSFLOOD PLAINSFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTFORESTSGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSGREENHOUSE GASGROUND SURFACEHABITATHABITAT DEGRADATIONHABITATSHAIL STORMHAILSTORMHAZARDHAZARD MAPHAZARD MAPSHAZARDSHEAT WAVEHIGH POPULATION GROWTHHOSPITALHOUSINGHOUSING DENSITYHOUSING STOCKHUMAN ACTIVITYHUMAN BEINGSHUMAN SETTLEMENTSHUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONSHYDROLOGYIMAGE INTERPRETATIONIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONLAND COVERLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND MANAGEMENTLAND PROPERTYLAND SUBSIDENCELAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAND USE REGULATIONSLAND USESLAND-USE PLANNINGLANDSLIDELOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMALARIAMETROPOLITAN AREASMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMITIGATIONNATIONAL EMERGENCYNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDNATURAL HAZARDSNATURAL RESOURCESOVERPOPULATIONPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPEANUTSPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOPULATION DATAPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION DISTRIBUTIONPRACTITIONERSPRESERVATIONPROGRESSPROPERTY RIGHTPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRAINFALLRAPID POPULATION GROWTHREFINERYRELIEFRELIEFWEBREMOTE SENSINGRESCUERESCUE SERVICESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESIDENTIAL AREASRESOURCE USERESPECTRICERISK ANALYSISRISK ASSESSMENTRISK FACTORSRIVERRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL COMMUNITYRURAL POPULATIONSAFETYSANDSANITATIONSATELLITE DATASATELLITE IMAGESATELLITE IMAGESSEA LEVELSEA LEVEL RISESERVICE DELIVERYSHORESHORESSLUMSSOCIAL FACTORSSOIL EROSIONSPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONSPILLOVERSTUDY AREASUBURBAN AREASSUGARSUGAR CANESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL CAPACITYTIDAL WAVESTOPOGRAPHIC MAPSTOPOGRAPHYTORNADOTORNADOSTOWNSTRANSPORTATIONTROPICAL CYCLONETROPICAL CYCLONESTSUNAMITSUNAMISUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN LANDURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYURBAN SPRAWLURBANIZATIONVOLCANIC ERUPTIONVULNERABILITYWATER TABLEWATERSHEDSWAVESWETLANDWETLANDSWORK FORCEZONINGWorld Bank10.1596/12921
