“…Environmental disasters often exceed the local capacity to cope, and invite external engagement in response to disasters 1 University of Kansas http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol17/iss3/art26/ and extreme events (Brondizio et al 2009, Cheong 2011a). Indicative of this was the inflow of external aid and expertise, and the emergence of new groups to cope with the largest oil spills in Korea and the U.S. for both short-term coping and longer-term adaptation.…”

ABSTRACT. The focus of the research is the significance of dependence for communities to survive and adapt in times of environmental disasters. It shifts the emphasis on self-reliant communities for survival and examines the types and effects of dependence and external linkages by analyzing the range of community responses that include initial responses, early social impact, compensation, and conflicts after the Hebei-Spirit oil spill in December 2007 in Korea. The findings reveal that dependence is necessary, and the effects of dependence can be both positive and negative depending on the relations between external entities and affected communities as well as the community capacity to absorb resources and information.

“…Coastal zones are highly vulnerable to the projected impacts of a changing climate, such as accelerated sea-level rise and enhanced storm surges (Nicholls et al 2007). In response to such threats, adaptation research has sought to address changing risks and secure improved protection within coastal zones (Burton et al 2002;Cheong 2010;Smit et al 1999).…”

Integrating regional perceptions into climate change adaptation: a transdisciplinary case study from Germany’s North Sea Coast

2012

Coastal protection strategies increasingly have to take into account the effects of climate change. At present, engineering and natural science models that assess the impact of global climatic transformations on regional coastal zones and their protection structures remain rather detached from the knowledge and insights of regional practitioners. The main thesis of this contribution, using a case study from the North Sea Coast of Germany, is that innovative coastal protection requires not only interdisciplinary research but transdisciplinary collaboration in order to develop a viable adaptation strategy. The investigation of the social dimension of climate change and coastal protection strategies, using qualitative interviews with organized regional stakeholders, climate researchers and coastal engineers, as well as a representative public survey, contributes to a comprehensive understanding of regional perceptions with respect to climate change and coastal protection.
