Phases of Earthquake Experience: A Case Study of the June 2000 South Iceland Earthquakes
A case study of the impact factors of stress and relief in the wake of the south Iceland earthquakes in 2000 is presented. By applying axial coding analysis, the isolated concurrent and interplaying sociostructural impact factors were added sequentially to a time axis based on interviews with suffer...
