“…The roles assumed by actors were analyzed in the review with players playing the role of FRM professionals, such as flood forecasters, flood protection officers, flood risk advisors or flood managers in many serious games. Further actors included local government (e.g., councils and municipalities), policymakers and mayors (Taillandier & Adam, 2018; Tanwattana & Toyoda, 2018; Tsai, Chang, et al, 2015), water authorities and managers (Magnuszewski et al, 2018; Stefanska et al, 2011; Valkering et al, 2013), and first responders (Terti et al, 2019; Tomaszewski et al, 2020). In some cases, moderators took on roles such as central government (Magnuszewski et al, 2018), city managers (Nunnally et al, 1974) and actors such as mayors, journalists, lobbyists, buskers, and weathermen that then influenced the game conditions (Barends, 2001; Wendler & Shuttleworth, 2019).…”

“…Games also aimed to improve existing communication approaches on FRM and to help communicate technical information to non‐technical audiences (Bokhove et al, 2020; Craven et al, 2017; Khoury et al, 2018; Terti et al, 2019). This extended to raising flood awareness in communities (Arinta & Emanuel, 2020; Felicio et al, 2014; Lumbroso et al, 2008; Rebolledo‐Mendez et al, 2009) and supporting communities' abilities to prepare for flooding through empowerment, promoting cooperation with local government, and through gameplay that explicitly aimed to build citizen capacity (Mannsverk et al, 2014; Tanwattana & Toyoda, 2018; Tomaszewski et al, 2020).…”

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.

“…Tanwattana and Toyoda (2018) have concluded that in order to succeed in implementing community-based crisis management, it is necessary to adopt such strategies as selecting people properly, organizing the workforce, establishing a communication network among members, unity of command, identifying and ranking various disasters in each region, forecasting safe gathering places and emergency accommodation, training human resources, providing pieces of training appropriate to local conditions, and removing legal and cultural barriers (23). Therefore, it can be stated that to succeed in community-based crisis management, various strategic plans are required that were mentioned above and identified in 28 strategic activities specified under 4 basic actions.…”

INTRODUCTION: The increase in the number of natural disasters has made different societies constantly discover and invent solutions to control the adverse effects of disasters with more emphasis on prevention or minimize them by improving the quality of the rescue process (in the response phase). In the last few decades, the need for social participation in order to manage risks has been developing in the form of community-based activities. This study was conducted to present a community-based crisis management model focusing on the process of relief and rescue in natural disasters in Iran, 2020. METHODS: This qualitative study was performed based on the grounded theory method defined by Strauss and Corbin. The statistical population of the study included all crisis management and non-governmental organizations experts in universities, the Crisis Management Organization, general managers of provincial crisis management, and senior managers of the Red Crescent Society. The samples were selected using the purposive and theoretical method of snowball sampling while taking into account the geographical, climatic, cultural, social, and religious diversity of different regions of the country. As a result, the sample size was obtained at 22 people. The required data were collected through a semi-structured interview. In the analysis of qualitative information, open coding, axial coding, and selective coding were used manually). FINDINGS: The results of the study showed that the causal conditions of community-based crisis management included "legal obligation", "strategic planning", "attracting public participation", "forming and developing expert teams", and "acting (prevention, preparedness, needs analysis, planning, and response)"; and contextual conditions consisted of "geographical conditions", "social capacity building", and "creating cohesion and empathy". Moreover, intervening conditions involved "general sensitization", "preparation", and "logistics and equipment"; strategies included "risk management", "human resource management", "training (general and professional)" and "barrier removal"; and the consequences of community-based crisis management consisted of "increasing public awareness in the face of emergencies", "reducing the risk of areas "increasing community resilience", "improving the quality of post-disaster assessment", "accelerating the response process", "determining priorities appropriately", "saving the golden time of rescue", "increasing the number of survivors", "accelerating relief operations" "distributing relief items fairly", "improving the quality of rescue operations", "decreasing the amount of damage", "managing resources and facilities properly", "reducing response costs", "decreasing the adverse psychological effects of the disaster", "organized presence of grassroots groups", "eliminating the shortcomings and completing the performance of the responsible agencies", and "increasing the level of public satisfaction". CONCLUSION: Community-based crisis management is a new and effective approach that its implementation has a positive impact on increasing resilience and thus reducing the vulnerability of communities. The proper and successful implementation of the community-based approach requires structural changes, amendment of laws, and development of relevant bylaws. It also needs measures that should be implemented at the national level, in the country's crisis management system, and at the local level.

“…Thirdly, 10 publications assessed cognitive learning outcomes without asking participants, but rather assessed observed acquisition or restructuring of knowledge by analysing observations and data resulting from game sessions [51,53,54,56,61,71,79,[83][84][85]. To assess whether or not participants improved their understanding of the complexity of planning for a sustainable future through their game Futura, Antle et al [54] analysed field notes on participant behaviour and quotes by identifying themes through coding.…”

Serious games are increasingly explored as collaborative tools to enhance social learning on sustainable management of land and natural resources. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine the current state of the art of the different methods and procedures used to assess social learning outcomes of collaborative serious games. Forty-two publications were identified and included in the review following study selection and quality assessment steps. Extracted data from the publications were categorized in relation to five research questions. Approaches that were used to assess cognitive, normative, and relational learning outcomes of collaborative serious games were subsequently identified based on the categorizations. As a result, these approaches distinguished between the nature of learning in the assessment of collaborative serious games. Combined, these approaches provide an overview of how to assess social learning outcomes of collaborative serious games, including the methods and procedures that can be used, and may serve as a reference for scholars designing and evaluating collaborative serious games.
