“…Balica, Douben, and Wright (2009) develop Flood Vulnerability Indicators which include physical and social vulnerability. Beevers, Walker, and Strathie (2016) and Adeyeye and Emmitt (2017) combine both physical and social systems within their methodologies. Furthermore, strategic research starts to emerge at this scale (see e.g., Restemeyer, Woltjer, and van den Brink 2015).…”

“…Whilst the study focuses on individual resilience, it explores the relationship between the individual and varying spatial scales of the city system. Aside from connecting the interdependencies of scales in the social system, Beevers, Walker, and Strathie (2016) and Adeyeye and Emmitt (2017) attempt to combine socio-technical interactions for a more holistic understanding of flood resilience at multiple scales.…”

Hydro-hazards are increasing in frequency due to climate change which has inspired a cultural change in Flood Risk Management (FRM). Uncertainty associated with climate change has resulted in a shift towards flood resilience as it helps deal with unexpected climatic perturbations that impact extreme flows. The concept of resilience has increased in popularity, leading to a multitude of definitions, measurements and applications. This paper systematically reviews the FRM literature to provide clarity on the differing perspectives of resilience and how they influence successful implementation of the concept. Our analysis assesses where FRM is positioned within three pre-defined interdisciplinary understandings of resilience. The polysemic nature of resilience has produced a multitude of different perspectives that prevent successful operationalisation. Resilience is interdisciplinary; therefore it requires integration between top-down and bottom-up FRM approaches, as well as a more holistic approach to the interdependence between temporal and spatial scales.

“…More explicitly managing connections between infrastructure systems can also reduce the pressure on vulnerable points in the system. Interdependence between infrastructure systems has become a major research area in the last 30 years, and by exploiting the capacity between systems we could increase the potential for cascading failures through the system; amplifying small disruptions into large disruptions (Balica, Douben, & Wright, ; Beevers, Walker, & Strathie, ; da Silva, Kernaghan, & Luque, ; Eusgeld, Nan, & Dietz, ; Ouyang & Dueñas‐Osorio, ; Peerenboom & Fisher, ; Pregnolato et al, ). For example, hydrological model simulations in Malmö, Sweden, have also shown that the efficiency of a BGI system in mitigating flooding can be strongly limited if implemented in an area with a hydraulically overloaded piped sewer network (Haghighatafshar et al, ).…”

Interoperability: A conceptual framework to bridge the gap between multifunctional and multisystem urban flood management

Urban flood management is increasingly expected to be multifunctional to integrate with the existing functioning of cities. Locally, this led to the development of sustainable urban water drainage designs, while at larger scales, blue‐green or water‐sensitive cities are considered as examples for how cities should function. Upscaling local designs to city‐scale flood resilience is not straightforward, however, due to the complexity of physical infrastructure and socio‐economic interactions within urban systems and requires “system‐of‐systems” thinking. To this end, we introduce the concept “interoperability” to guide transition from local multifunctionality to city‐scale multisystem flood management, through actively managing connections between infrastructure systems to convey, divert, and store flood water. While flood management is already based on these connections, interoperability is about explicitly emphasising them to explore and create opportunities to facilitate the integration of systems for flood management. The main research need arising from this conceptualisation is to determine how spatial data on infrastructure, environment, and social characteristics in urban areas can serve as a basis to identify opportunities and barriers for interoperability. By introducing interoperability and the research needs arising from it, a framework is created to facilitate and encourage practical thinking and discussion about system integration in urban flood management.

Ecological interface design allows the user to cope with three types of events: (a) familiar, (b) occasional, but anticipated and (c) unexpected. To cope with unexpected events, this theoretical framework recommends starting with an analysis of the work domain and the main technique is the abstraction hierarchy (AH). However, the time and effort required to produce one remains a challenge. One solution is to develop AHs for specific work domains in order to be reused. This article presents an analysis of 32 work domains that have been represented by an AH that were selected from a systematic literature review. The results show that 11 represent industrial domains, 22 have 5 levels of abstraction and 21 represent causal systems. The results allow researchers to reuse entirely or adapt AHs from these work domains and to direct HA development towards work domains that are not covered.
