| 英文摘要 | Hydrogeomorphic changes, encompassing erosion, waterlogging, and siltation, disproportionately threaten impoverished rural communities. Yet, they are often marginalized in discussions of disasters. This oversight is especially concerning as vulnerable households with limited healthcare access are most susceptible to related diseases and displacement. However, our current understanding of how these risks intersect remains limited. We explore the complex relationships between hydrogeomorphic hazards, malaria incidence, and poverty in Nigeria. Through spatial analyses we expand traditional boundaries, incorporating factors such as healthcare access, migration patterns, dam locations, demographics, and wealth disparities into a unified framework. Our findings reveal a stark reality: most residents in hydrogeomorphic hotspots live in poverty (earnings per person <=$1.25/ day), face elevated malaria risks (80 % in malaria hotspots), reside near dams (59 %), and struggle with limited healthcare access. Moreover, exposure to hydrogeomorphic hotspots could double by 2080, affecting an estimated 5.8 million Nigerians. This forecast underscores the urgent need for increased support and targeted interventions to protect those living in poverty within these hazardous regions. In shedding light on these dynamics, we expose and emphasise the pressing urgency of the risks borne by the most vulnerable populations residing in these regions -communities often characterised by limited wealth and resilience. |
