ANALYSIS OF GEOSPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CLIMATE DISASTERS Vladimir M. Cvetkovic The Academy of Criminalistics and Police Studies in Belgrade Abstract: Climate disasters, which include drought, extreme temperatures and wildfires, every day more and more jeopardize the safety of people and their property. As such, they are beginning to attract more attention of researchers in the field of emergency situations who want to better understand it. Consequently, research has been undertaken in order to determine the geospatial and temporal distribution of climate disasters in the world in geographic space period in 1900. till 2013.  Given that it is a mass phenomenon, which consists of multiple units, most preferred scientific method for drawing conclusions about climate disasters is a statistical method. In addition, a statistical study was conducted so as to take the first step, the raw data of all natural disasters (25,552) in mind, Excel” file from the international database on disasters (CRED) in Brussels, and then analyzed in program for statistical analysis of data SPSS. Within the geospatial distribution analyzed the total number and consequences of climate disasters by continent. By the same token, within the temporal analysis examined the distribution of the total number and consequences of climatic disasters on an annual, monthly and daily. Statistical analysis of the results clearly indicates that the number of climate disasters is on the rise, with their recorded maximum in the period since 2000. till 2013. Then, based on the results it is concluded that most of the drought occurred in Africa, extreme temperatures in Europe and forest […]
