| Zusammenfassung |
| Public perception of flood risk and flood risk information is often
overlooked when developing flood risk management plans. As scientists and
the public at large perceive risk in very different ways, flood risk
management strategies are known to have failed in the past due to this
disconnect between authorities and the public. This paper uses a novel
approach in exploring the role of public perception in developing flood risk
communication strategies in Europe. Results are presented of extensive
quantitative research of 1375 questionnaire responses from thirteen
communities at risk across six European countries. The research forms part
of two research projects funded under the 2nd ERA-Net CRUE Funding
Initiative: URFlood and FREEMAN. Risk perception is conceptualised as a
pillar of social resilience, representing an innovative approach to the
issue. From this process recommendations are identified for improving flood
risk management plans through public participation. |
