Based on the 32 papers, IJDSCR’s strongest concentration is on the following areas:

• Hazard assessment and spatial risk analysis, particularly using GIS, remote sensing, machine learning, hydrodynamic modelling and other quantitative methods.
• Floods and water-related disasters, including flood susceptibility, flood resilience, wetlands, watershed governance, GLOFs and coastal hazards. This is the most frequently examined hazard group.
• Climate and ecosystem resilience, covering climate adaptation, mangroves, nature-based solutions, eco-DRR, shoreline change and landscape transformation.
• Community vulnerability, preparedness and resilience, with attention to coping strategies, indigenous knowledge, risk perception, social work and grassroots participation.
• Disaster governance and planning, including municipal disaster management, emergency-response systems, evacuation planning, participatory mapping and policy development.
• Landslide risk is another prominent theme, especially in the Western Ghats and South Asian mountain environments.
• Less frequently represented hazards include earthquakes, cyclones, fire and pandemics.

Editorial Activity Report

IJDSCR maintained an efficient editorial workflow during the reporting period. The first editorial decision was issued within one day, demonstrating prompt initial screening of submissions. The average time to acceptance was 40 days, while rejected manuscripts were decided within an average of 16 days.
