Communities around the globe are at substantial risk of being threatened by hydrological extremes, particularly floods. Adapting to exacerbating flood risks is hence utmost importance safeguard people’s wellbeing. Households critical for adaptation as their actions have proved effective and efficient in diminishing risks. At same time, past experiences, well capability perceptions often considered important factors driving household adaptation. These linkages suggest complex...
Nature encompasses diverse values, including intrinsic, instrumental, and relational dimensions, which shape human interactions with ecosystems. Understanding local perceptions of these values is a crucial first step in ecosystem service assessments (ESA), ensuring alignment community priorities. ESA has the potential to enhance disaster risk management (DRM) by providing essential ecological information that often overlooked, despite close interconnection between social systems contexts....
With climate change and socioeconomic trends expected to exacerbate the risk of urban heat stress, implementing adaptation measures is paramount limit adverse impacts on inhabitants. Identification best options needs be based sound, localised assessments risk, understood as interaction hazard, exposure vulnerability. Yet a review literature reveals that minimal research date considers perceived among residents. Based household survey in Bonn, Germany, this paper adopts an integrated approach...
Driven by rapid climate, socio-economic, environmental, and political change, flood risks in urban regions are on the rise. Given that cities highly complex integrated systems comprising social, ecological infrastructure domains, characterized high levels of complexity, such as cascading effects, interconnected interacting risk drivers. To ensure effectiveness management interventions, enhanced understanding empirical evidence nature is needed. Failing to understand how interact across...
Flood risks are exacerbating around the globe, often exceeding capacities to adapt, thus leaving people at risk and raising critical questions on how adaptation gaps can be overcome. In response observed flood protection gaps, a behavioural turn in management is (Kuhlicke et al. 2020). This characterised by an increased motivation of households engage individual one hand institutionally shifted responsibilities from public authorities towards individuals other. however evokes social,...
Although substantial research has been conducted on the subject of good governance, our comprehension effective disaster governance and its criteria remains inadequate.Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, six risk were selected to assess effectiveness in Thua Thien Hue province, region prone natural climate-induced hazards. These include accountability, responsiveness flexibility, transparency, collaboration, decentralization autonomy, information sharing. Insights into these...
<p>Critical infrastructures, such as energy, water and ICT supply are the backbone of societies. Especially in urban contexts, peoples’ dependency on increasingly complex interdependent network critical infrastructures is daunting. However, a majority inhabitants rather unaware related implications risks, leaving individuals largely unprepared highly vulnerable to potential infrastructure disruptions or failures. This particularly true for developed countries with...
<p>Many countries face high risk to multiple natural hazards - such as earthquakes, floods, storms or extreme heat which jeopardize human security around the globe. At same time, a significant part of world’s population is still living in poverty, often facing an increased vulnerability hazards. On top it most poor and vulnerable high-risk places. Hence, they are disproportionally affected by disasters, development set-backs after disastrous...
