Nature-based solutions (NBS) can act as a valuable complement to conventional 'grey' infrastructure for stormwater management (e.g. dams and dikes) in reducing flood risks, these 'green' are perceived be more flexible multifunctional. However, achieve effective NBS, multi-actor approach developing appropriate measures specific sites is required, NBS occupy space than often overlap with private land. also necessitate multidisciplinary approach, maximise environmental, social economic...
Hydro-meteorological hazards annually lead to considerable economic losses worldwide. Property level flood risk adaptation (PLFRA) measures have shown decrease potential damages by floods and other hazards. However, such are often implemented inadequately, frequently because of lacking communication between public administration homeowners. Thus, systems been created multiple actors, ranging from the government private companies insurance groups, which goal communicate risks homeowners...
ABSTRACT The implementation of natural stormwater management (SWM), namely SWM carried out through nature‐based solutions (NBS), is still problematic despite their benefits in climate change adaptation. Private landownership commonly cited as the factor limiting extensive NBS. However, Finnish model demonstrates that, regardless whether needed land private or public, implementing actors face numerous legal challenges efforts to carry using We study and use planning frameworks uncover...

To achieve a more flood-resilient society, it is essential to involve citizens. Therefore, new instruments, such as tailor-made advice for homeowners, are being developed inform homeowners about adaptive strategies in building motivate them implement these measures. This article evaluates if public–private interactions, tailored advice, change risk behaviour and therefore increase flood resilience among homeowners. The conducted semi-structured interviews with who had received well involved...
Abstract This paper investigates the role of flood risk experts in supporting homeowners to implement property‐level adaption (PLFRA). Homeowners can reduce their risks by implementing PLFRA. However, oftentimes they need advice on what sort and how means that tailored is necessary inform such measures. But experience shows mere information often insufficient motivate realise contribution explores reasons for ineffectiveness expert investigating responds homeowners' rationalities. Based a...
Although flood risk management is traditionally regarded as a governmental responsibility, homeowners in Flanders (Belgium) have crucial role reduction. With this mind, the Environment Agency executed pilot study which were offered free tailor-made advice on floodproofing. To evaluate advice, we conducted interviews and survey of participating homeowners. On basis conclude that, to improve homeowner's contribution towards more effective flood-resilient (peri-)urban areas, there need for...
