Exploring the role of risk perception in influencing flood losses over time

Abstract: What implications do societies' risk perceptions have for flood losses? This study uses a stylized, sociohydrological model to simulate the mutual feedbacks between human societies and flood events. It integrates hydrological modelling with cultural theory and proposes four ideal types of society that reflect existing dominant risk perception and management: risk neglecting, risk monitoring, risk downplaying and risk controlling societies. We explore the consequent trajectories of flood risk generated by the i… Show more

“…This was most common for studies that used simulated data to examine sociohydrological processes. For example, multiple studies simulated flood events to better understand pathways for city development (Viglione et al, 2014) or observe interactions between flood risk and behavior (Ridolfi et al, 2020a). Alternatively, some studies used models to simulate changes in a sociohydrology system over the course of the implementation of a specific policy (Du et al, 2020) or flood management strategy (Albertini et al, 2020).…”

“…However, structural mitigation through construction of protective infrastructure and resistant structures (e.g., levee) will produce the illusion of safety. White (1945) theorizes that flood mitigation structures might increase flood risk, as protection from frequent flooding reduces the public risk awareness, which is called as “the levee effect” (Ridolfi et al 2020 ). Hence, it can be inferred that levees in study area have led these residents to having a “low” risk perception of flooding even ignoring the risk of the Yangtze River.…”
