Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilient Development is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal dedicated to advancing research, policy, and practice in reducing disaster risks and fostering resilience across societies, economies, and ecosystems. It serves as a multidisciplinary platform for academics, practitioners, and policymakers working at the intersection of disaster risk management, climate change adaptation, and sustainable development.

The journal publishes cutting-edge theoretical, empirical, and applied research on natural hazards, technological hazards, complex emergencies, and cascading risks, with a particular emphasis on innovative risk governance models, resilience-building strategies, and the integration of DRR into development and climate policies.

It welcomes contributions from disciplines such as environmental science, engineering, social sciences, economics, public policy, urban planning, geography, and public health, with a focus on translating research into actionable solutions.

The Journal aims to:

  • Promote evidence-based strategies for reducing disaster risks and enhancing community, institutional, and systemic resilience.
  • Advance integrated approaches linking DRR, climate adaptation, and sustainable development.
  • Encourage cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary research for holistic disaster resilience planning.
  • Provide policy-relevant insights for national, regional, and global disaster governance.
  • Facilitate knowledge exchange among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and community stakeholders.

The journal’s scope includes all aspects of disaster risk reduction—from risk assessment and early warning systems to recovery and “build back better” strategies—aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
