N2 - In the monograph, which is systematized into several general and specific chapters, the author, in an accessible and understandable manner, theoretically discusses and describes the most important terms, concepts, and theories related to disasters and risks. The first three chapters are dedicated to defining, classifying, and understanding disasters and hazards as basic concepts. Within the text related to actual concepts in disaster research, the author very briefly describes the term, characteristics, and dimensions of vulnerability, resistance, and risk with particular reference to the perception, models, and disaster risk assessment methodology. The central part of the paper refers to disaster research methods, namely to the description of the evolution and characteristics of such methods. Starting from two major research traditions, the author analyzes in detail, describes, and explains the application of quantitative and qualitative research traditions to explore a disaster. The final part of the paper provides an overview of the main characteristics and possibilities for applying theories of vulnerability, resistance, preparedness, planned behavior, symbolic interactionism, systems, and decision-making in the field of disaster research. In the end, the paper discusses the management models, pressure and relieving, command systems, environmental ones, and disaster modeling.

In the end, the paper discusses different models which are present in literature about disasters. Offering to the public his knowledge, which has been gathered during years of thorough studying and scientific work, the author hopes that the monograph Disaster and Risk Research Methodology: Theory, Concepts and Methods will be of concrete help to the researchers who deal with this scientific discipline, which is becoming more and more popular and necessary, at the same time contributing to the systematic and comprehensive improvement of the theoretical fund of knowledge.
