Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly recognized as a valid alternative to grey infrastructures - i.e. hard, human-engineered structures measures for reducing climate-related risks. Increasing evidences demonstrated that NBS can reduce risks people and property effectively traditional infrastructures, but potentially offering many additional benefits, e.g. improving the natural habitat wildlife, enhancing water air quality, socio-cultural conditions of communities. The growing...
Evidences from flood risk management demonstrated that a deep understanding of the main physical phenomena to be addressed is often not enough but should also integrated with stakeholders' knowledge and perception. Particularly, effectiveness strategies highly dependent on perception attitudes, which play critical role how individuals institutions act mitigate risks. Furthermore, practitioners policy-makers realized grey infrastructures may most suitable solution reduce risk, shift solutions...
There is an imperative worldwide need to identify effective approaches deal with water-related risks, and mainly increasingly frequent floods, as well severe droughts. Particularly, policy decision-makers are trying systemic strategies that, going beyond the mere risk reduction, should be capable simultaneously multiple challenges (such climate resilience, health well-being, quality of life), thus providing additional benefits. In this direction, contribution Nature Based Solutions (NBS)...
Abstract Several modeling tools commonly used for supporting flood risk assessment and management are highly effective in representing physical phenomena, but provide a rather limited understanding of the multiple implications that reduction measures have on complex systems such as urban areas. In fact, most available do not fully account this complexity—and related uncertainty—which heavily affects interconnections between evolution risk, ultimately resulting an ineffective management. The...
Decision-makers are increasingly asked to act differently in how they respond complex urban challenges, recognising the value bringing together and integrating cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral knowledge generate effective solutions. Participatory modelling allows bring stakeholders together, enhance understanding of a system, identify impacts interventions given problem. This paper uses an interdisciplinary systems approach investigate problem, using participatory System Dynamics process...
The contribution of Nature Based Solutions (NBSs) for supporting climate change adaptation and water-related risks reduction is becoming increasingly relevant policy decision-makers, compared to 'grey infrastructures', thanks their capability jointly deal with a multiplicity societal environmental challenges, producing several co-benefits besides limiting the impacts risks. Nevertheless, mainstreaming still limited by barriers, which are often related socio-institutional (e.g. cooperation...
There is growing awareness that fast response to emergency situation requires effective coordination among several institutional and non-institutional actors. The most common approaches, based on innovating technologies for information collection management, are not sufficient cope with the increasing complexity of management. This work demonstrates cooperation claims a shift from management interaction Therefore, methods tools required in order better understand interactions taking place...
Differences in system boundaries and problem framings are unavoidable multi-organisational decision-making. Unstructured problems, such as the grand challenges, characterised by existence of multiple actors with different perspectives conflicting interests, they require a coordinated effort from organisations. Within this context, paper aims to understand stakeholders' perceptions framings, their potential effects on decision-making systematically comparing stakeholder groups' causal maps...
Abstract System dynamics (SD) models are commonly used for structuring complex problems to support decision‐making. They investigate areas in which limited knowledge is available, describing nonlinear relationships and including intangible elements. Although this explorative nature one of the key advantages, it also represents a challenge quantifying intangible, i.e. more qualitative aspects an SD model, especially when not possible apply conventional analytical methods due data scarcity....
<ns3:p>This paper announces a new initiative - the research project <ns3:italic>Policy and Implementation for Climate & Health Equity</ns3:italic> (PAICE), which aims to investigate complex systemic connections between climate change action, health equity, translation of evidence into policy practice in UK. Using transdisciplinary approaches, PAICE will: (1) co-develop programme theory linked monitoring evaluation plan, (2) work with UK Change Committee (CCC) Greater London Authority...
There is a mounting international interest about how to address the implications of climate change for urban areas. The availability and sharing "good" knowledge information key prerequisite successful planning in cities. Urban adaptation largely considered as collective process. This raises importance availability/usability proper "planner/user friendly" interfaces interpret translate available into decisions, facilitate collaborative decision making within interaction network which...
Cities are highly dynamic systems, whose resilience is affected by the interconnectedness between “hard” and “soft” infrastructures. “Hard infrastructures” functional networks with physical elements providing goods or services. “Soft (culture, governance, social patterns) encompass networks, make hard infrastructures work, vital for understanding consequences of disasters effectiveness emergency management. Although interactions such complex in case occurrence hazardous events, it...
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become increasingly important and necessary conduct research teaching activities online. While many universities quickly started transition online teaching, most in-person were typically postponed. However, in order not significantly delay research, researchers are seeking activities, such as workshops, a virtual setting. Following this initial period of disruption, is expected that or hybrid will continue be used and, some cases, may replace interactions...

The paper conceptualizes a multi-attribute decision support model for the assessment of organizational maturity co-creation, specifically public organizations. This is achieved on basis systematic literature review (i.e. content analysis) and analysis two European case studies promising collaborative practices (from UK Slovenia). co-creation drivers barriers elicited from these sources are integrated in model, thus setting layout co-creation. final conceptualized here consists 25 attributes...
