Security Challenges and Economic-Geographical Metrics for Analyzing Safety to Achieve Sustainable Protection
Original language description
In this article, we aim to develop the theoretical background for the possible application of Economic-Geographical metrics in the field of population protection. We deal with various options for analyzing the availability of “safety” for citizens using studied metrics. Among others, we apply well-known metrics such as the Gini coefficient, Hoover index and even establish their generalizations. We develop a theoretical background and evaluate our findings on generated and actual data. We find that the metrics used can have an opposite interpretation depending on the scenario we are considering. We also discover that some scenarios demand a modification to the usual metric. We conclude that Economic-Geographical metrics give valuable tools to address specific security challenges. Metric’s generalizations could serve as a potent tool for other authors working in the field of population protection. Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that metrics also have drawbacks.
