“…Two small watersheds in France were considered in the study. Recently, Ceccato et al (2011) utilized ELECTRE III together with a group decision rule within a decision support system (DSS) developed as a part of a larger framework aimed at improving participatory processes in water management. The case study involved the ranking of strategies for handling flood risks.…”

“…In Bangladesh, community members tended to use traditional knowledge for flood prediction due to the climate information disseminated by the media being too technical (Adhikari & Taylor, 2012). Two papers discussed how the lack of communication between scientists and community members led to climate information not being tailored to the local context and producers of information disseminating what they knew as opposed to what communities needed (Ceccato, Giannini, & Giupponi, 2011;Srinivasan et al, 2011). In one case, community members lost interest in collecting climate data, as they did not understand the practical use of it (Simões et al, 2010).…”

Although adaptation to climate change is vital in vulnerable developing country communities, there are limits to what these communities can do autonomously. Many face existing challenges such as poverty, food insecurity and lack of resources. Hence, there seems to be a logical case for planned community-based adaptation (CBA) in these contexts, but there is limited empirical evidence of planned CBA in developing countries. Numerous barriers hinder the implementation of planned CBA. This systematic literature review investigated what these barriers are and how they influence adaptation. Context-specific social, resource and physical barriers are significant, and these overlap and interact with one another. The most pervasive of these barriers relate to poor coordination within and between organizations responsible for planning and implementing adaptation actions, who adhere to discourses that are often technical and managerial and therefore not well suited to supporting CBA, and a lack of, or irrelevant knowledge/information on climate change as well as ineffectual communication between stakeholders involved in CBA actions.

“…The results reveal that the measures are characterized by the function's diminished slope, thus resulting in lesser damages at the same depth. Qualitative methods can provide insight into the nature of resilience when society, organizations, and individuals are faced with disasters (Vogel et al 2007;Ceccato et al 2011).…”

Resilience is a key term in disaster economic loss assessment. The flood loss rates in different scenarios for the residence, industry, commerce, infrastructure, and agriculture are calculated, and the original depth-damage curves are drawn by collecting the socioeconomic data of Lizhong Town in Lixia River and Houbai Town in Jurong River. Thereafter, by fully considering the resilience factor to draw the new depth-economic loss curves, which are in line with the actual situation, the results show: (1) the disaster reduction capability correction loss rate of different receptors in Lizhong Town is in the range of 1674 %, and in Houbai Town is in the range of 2079 %. The residential flood loss, commercial loss, infrastructure loss, and industry loss were reduced by 74, 54.8, 38, and 16 %, respectively, in Lizhong Town, and the residential flood loss, commercial loss, and & Xianhua Wu industry loss were reduced by 79, 60, and 20 %, respectively in Houbai Town. (2) Residential property types and their display heights in families with different income levels have similar flood-damage rate curves in mainland China and Taiwan (Su et al. in Flood damage assessment and related database Implementation for KeeLung River Basin (II), Special research report of National Science Council, Taiwan, 2002); (3) the loss rate reached the maximum at the depth of 3 m, and the sum of the five receptors damage is 6.98 million Yuan (RMB) and 2.2 million Yuan (RMB) in Lizhong Town and Houbai Town, respectively. At last, in this paper, several approaches to improving resilience were proposed and possibilities in future researches were put forward. This study is a useful complement to flood economic loss evaluation literature and provides reference for disaster prevention and mitigation decisions in similar areas.
