In this paper, we describe an experiment in which the position of scientists with respect to flood risk management is fundamentally changed. Building on a review three very different approaches engaging public science, contrast normal way science used England and Wales knowledge regarding flooding was co‐produced. This illustrates working experts, both certified (academic natural social scientists) non‐certified (local people affected by flooding), for whom matter concern, where event,...
Ward N. and Brown D. L. Placing the rural in regional development, Regional Studies. Urban development studies tend to focus on urban as driving innovation growth, with surrounding areas cast a passive, residual role. As result, debates are often conducted separately. This paper introduces special issue development. It sets out current thinking Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) countries, explores two trends affecting place of – differentiation ruralities context...
This paper suggests that computer simulation modelling can offer opportunities for redistributing expertise between science and affected publics in relation to environmental problems. However, order scientific contribute the coproduction of new knowledge claims about processes, scientists need reposition themselves with respect their practices. In we examine a process which two hydrological modellers became part an extended research collective generating flooding small rural town UK. emerged...
