“…Flood resilience is increasingly seen as a complement to existing flood-riskmanagement approaches, being as it is a promising concept for dealing with the increasingly severe consequences of climate change in general, and with increasing flood risk in particular [196]. Much work in the literature has been dedicated to defining resilience as a concept to use in flood management [197][198][199][200]. Basically, the concept of flood resilience constitutes an acceptance that floods may happen, despite flood defenses being in place, and it also emphasizes the importance of reducing potential flood consequences and the notion of "living with floods" [201,202].…”

“…Innovative spatial solutions that create more space for water, such as flood-retention areas and river-widening measures, form an important part of these approaches. Finally, more holistic perspectives are being adopted, which consider a diverse set of FRM measures including bottom-up approaches based on social issues and ideas, such as active stakeholder participation, public communication, and raising awareness [200].…”

Flood Risk in Urban Areas: Modelling, Management and Adaptation to Climate Change. A Review

2022

The modelling and management of flood risk in urban areas are increasingly recognized as global challenges. The complexity of these issues is a consequence of the existence of several distinct sources of risk, including not only fluvial, tidal and coastal flooding, but also exposure to urban runoff and local drainage failure, and the various management strategies that can be proposed. The high degree of vulnerability that characterizes such areas is expected to increase in the future due to the effects of climate change, the growth of the population living in cities, and urban densification. An increasing awareness of the socio-economic losses and environmental impact of urban flooding is clearly reflected in the recent expansion of the number of studies related to the modelling and management of urban flooding, sometimes within the framework of adaptation to climate change. The goal of the current paper is to provide a general review of the recent advances in flood-risk modelling and management, while also exploring future perspectives in these fields of research.

“…This more holistic flood resilience approach has resulted in a wider range of stakeholders needing to be involved in FRM and greater attention being paid to the wider institutional context that influences FRM (Karrasch et al, 2021). Traditional FRM strategies, where the state is predominantly in control of FRM and building flood defenses, are moving toward “governance” approaches in many countries with a growing role for non‐traditional FRM actors (Driessen et al, 2016; Meijerink & Dicke, 2008).…”

Serious gaming in flood risk management

Serious gaming is increasingly used to explore important real-world problems and a growing number of serious games are addressing flood-related issues. However, there has been limited synthesis of these attempts and their contributions to the ongoing shift toward a more holistic and governance-based flood resilience perspective in flood risk management (FRM). This international review collates and analyses these attempts in order to develop a knowledge base of serious gaming in the field of FRM. It contains 37 games that were developed with different rationales that include engaging players in the topic of FRM, supporting practice by exploring future options through collaboration, improving communication of FRM, as educational tools, and to collect research data. The gameplay countries and player characteristics, game characteristics, relevance to FRM, game rationales, and collection of data are explored in this paper. Identified serious games provided an unconventional and entertaining approach to engage stakeholders on flood-related issues. The review analyzed the serious games in light of the shift toward flood resilience and identified limitations in the documentation of serious games and their potential in understanding the longer-term impacts of gameplay on players.Furthermore, the vast majority of reviewed games were played in a single country and missed out on understanding the cultural production and perspectives of FRM that could support cross-cultural learning and inspiration for future FRM strategies. Overall, the review identified an important role for serious games in the shift toward governance and the adoption of more holistic flood resilience perspectives.

Karrasch et al 19 presented flood resilience rose as a management tool to promote harmonized action toward FR in European regions and beyond. Meanwhile, some researchers have provided the method of FR assessment by descriptive data, mathematical tools, or a combination of tem 20 .…”

This study aims to analyze flood resilience (FR) in Karaj City, Iran, using a new fuzzy method which combines several qualitative and quantitative indices. The qualitative part was estimated by a questionnaire consisting of 42 questions distributed into five indices (social-cultural, economic, infrastructural-physical, organizational-institutional, and hydraulic). A fuzzy method was used for analyzing the results. To quantify the hydraulic index, a 25-year flood was simulated in the Storm Water Management Model and the flooding volume at every grid was estimated. The idea was that the flooding amount could be representative of structural FR of drainage network that cannot be evaluated through a questionnaire well. To calculate the FR of different districts, the obtained FR indices were fuzzified then aggregated. Considering that clustering can assist managers and decision makers for more effective flood risk management, a fuzzy equivalence matrix concept was used for clustering FR in the city. Friedman test showed the significance of differences between FR of every two districts. Based on the results, northwestern and southeastern districts had the highest and the lowest resilience, respectively. Although the impact of infrastructure-physical index on the FR was similar in most of the districts, the contribution of social-cultural, organizational-institutional, and hydraulic indices was significantly different. Also, districts with low scores in the infrastructure-physical, organizational-institutional, and hydraulic indices need more attention for flood risk management.
