Abstract

ABSTRACT Public participation is becoming increasingly important in integrative river restoration projects. However, studies show that flood risk awareness is generally low among residents of flood-prone areas, making it (more) difficult for project managers to involve the public. We contribute to understanding this generally low flood risk perception by carrying out a survey (N = 631) among residents in a Dutch floodplain and studying the connection between flood risk perception and sense of place. We found that expected damage is influenced by (collective) memory of near-floods and that residents with a high self- and group efficacy expect less damage. Against our hypothesis, we conclude that sense of place hardly influences flood risk perception, only nature bonding does. We recommend further research to study the complex relationships between flood risk perception, sense of place and self-efficacy from a theoretical need, but also because of the implications of these results for communication in flood risk management and motivations to engage in participation processes.
研究居民对洪水风险的感知和地方感,为荷兰河流修复项目的公众参与提供信息
在河流综合修复项目中,公众参与变得越来越重要。然而,研究表明,洪水易发地区居民的洪水风险意识普遍较低,这使得项目经理很难让公众参与进来。我们对荷兰洪泛区居民进行了一项调查(N = 631),研究了洪水风险感知与地方感之间的联系,从而有助于理解这种普遍较低的洪水风险感知。我们发现预期损失受近洪记忆的影响,自我效能和群体效能高的居民预期损失较小。与我们的假设相反,我们得出结论,地方感几乎不影响洪水风险感知,只有自然联系才会影响。我们建议进一步研究洪水风险感知、地方感和自我效能感之间的复杂关系,从理论需求出发,同时也因为这些结果对洪水风险管理中的沟通和参与过程的动机具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences (JIES) provides a stimulating, informative and critical forum for intellectual debate on significant environmental issues. It brings together perspectives from a wide range of disciplines and methodologies in both the social and natural sciences in an effort to develop integrative knowledge about the processes responsible for environmental change. The Journal is especially concerned with the relationships between science, society and policy and one of its key aims is to advance understanding of the theory and practice of sustainable development.
