Abstract Achieving urban flood resilience at local, regional and national levels requires a transformative change in planning, design implementation of water systems. Flood risk, wastewater stormwater management should be re-envisaged transformed to: ensure satisfactory service delivery under flood, normal drought conditions, enhance extend the useful lives ageing grey assets by supplementing them with multi-functional Blue-Green infrastructure. The aim multidisciplinary Urban Resilience...
Advancing stakeholder participation beyond consultation offers a range of benefits for local flood risk management, particularly as responsibilities are increasingly devolved to levels. This paper details the design and implementation participatory approach identify intervention options managing risk. Within this approach, Bayesian networks were used generate conceptual model system, with particular focus on how different interventions might achieve each nine participant objectives. The was...
A Blue-Green City aims to recreate a naturally-oriented water cycle while contributing the amenity of city by bringing management and green infrastructure together.The approach is more than stormwater strategy aimed at improving quality providing flood risk benefits.It can also provide important ecosystem services socio-cultural benefits when urban system in non-flood condition.However, quantitative evaluation appraisal relative significance each benefit given location are not well...
Abstract Responsibility for flood risk management (FRM) is increasingly being devolved to a wider set of stakeholders, and effective participation by multiple FRM agencies communities at calls engagement approaches that supplement make the best possible use hydrologic hydraulic modelling. Stakeholder must strike considered balance between ideals pragmatic realities existing mechanisms decision‐making. This article evaluates potential using participatory modelling facilitate co‐production...
Flood risk consists of complex and dynamic problems, whose management calls for innovative ways engaging with a wide range local stakeholders, many whom lack the technical expertise to engage traditional flood practices. Participatory approaches offer potential involving these stakeholders in decision‐making, yet limited advice is available users choosing which techniques employ what they might expect them deliver. Assessing effectiveness participatory critical step towards better...
Understanding public perceptions of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) is critical for addressing barriers to their implementation. Perceptions are typically evaluated using explicit measures (e.g. questionnaires) that subject biases and may not fully capture attitudes towards SuDS. A novel image-based application the Implicit Association Test developed investigate unconscious SuDS in greenspace combined with tests evaluate without SuDS, focusing on a sample population Newcastle-upon-Tyne....
Learning and Action Alliances (LAAs) are becoming an increasingly popular method for overcoming the challenges associated with participatory forms of governance, where decision making requires collaboration between stakeholders. In flood risk management, LAAs provide a mechanism through which institutional participants can come together, share knowledge, innovate, devise solutions to ‘wicked’ problems. While social learning generated at is now well understood, by this translated into action...
Images of public greenspace that contain SuDS (sustainable drainage systems) were shown to respondents before they completed the feeling thermometers and IAT (Implicit Association Test). These images also used as target-concepts (SuDS) in IATs.
