“…However, hazard experience largely has insignificant association with relocation intention. This is intuitively reasonable since previous studies have already drawn similar conclusions [28], and since people who have first-hand experience but survive disasters may have a lower level of willingness to take actions in the future [50]. Regarding coping and threat appraisal, the results are quite surprising.…”

“…One major contribution of the PMT is its illustration of the linkage between hazard perception and risk reduction behaviors. For example, Frondel et al [26] and Ling et al [27] both confirmed that flood experience was positively correlated with adaptation efforts, while Lawrence et al [28] maintained that the witnessing of major floods among German residents failed to encourage people to take more active mitigation actions. Therefore, attitude or perception may not be a good behavior predictor [29].…”

“…While we hypothesized such a linkage, the direction of effects still deserves investigation. Flood experience could increase people's likelihood to take mitigation measures [26,41,42], there is also evidence that past experience does not contribute to a higher level of intention to take self-protective actions [28,43].…”

Abstract:The participation of individuals contributes significantly to the success of sea level rise adaptation. This study therefore addresses what influences people's likelihood of relocating away from low-lying areas in response to rising sea levels. The analysis was based on a survey conducted in the City of Panama Beach in Florida (USA). Survey items relate to people's risk perception, hazard experience, threat appraisal, and coping appraisal, whose theoretical background is Protection Motivation Theory. Descriptive and correlation analysis was first performed to highlight critical factors which were then examined by a multinomial Logit model. Results show that sea level rise awareness is the major explanatory variable. Coping appraisal is qualitatively viewed as a strong predictor for action, while threat appraisal is statistically significant in driving relocation intention. These factors should be integrated in current risk communication regarding sea level rise.

“…This situation is further entrenched by professional practice biases and constraints [18]. Consequently, when action is taken, it is typically limited to static responses, such as protection works or 'coastal hazard zones' based on single-best-estimate scenarios [20,33,66]. Such actions invariably impact private property interests along developed coastlines and are challenged through the legal system.…”

So Close Yet So Far Apart: Contrasting Climate Change Perceptions in Two “Neighboring” Coastal Communities on Aotearoa New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula

Abstract:Coastal hazard risk, compounded by climate change, is escalating. Efforts to address this challenge are fraught and 'success' is elusive. We focus on this impasse and recommend ways to improve understanding, reduce risk and enable adaptation. Two Aotearoa New Zealand coastal communities, Mercury Bay and Kennedy Bay, on the Coromandel Peninsula, serve as case studies. Ethnographic fieldwork underpins this analysis. Despite close proximity, local perceptions are 'worlds apart'. Poor understanding of climate change, and preoccupation with everyday issues, is commonplace. Moreover, there are countervailing community narratives. In Kennedy Bay, which is undeveloped and Māori, climate change is not a manifest concern. Local narratives are rooted in Māori culture and under the shadow of colonization, which shapes contemporary perceptions, practices and prospects. In Mercury Bay, a rapidly developing resort town, seashore property owners demand protection works-ignoring sea-level rise and privileging short-term private interests. Despite laudable regulatory provisions, static responses to dynamic risks prevail and proactive adaptation is absent. Recommendations are made to improve understanding about local cultural-social-ecological characteristics, climate change and adaption. Enabling leadership and capability-building are needed to institutionalize proactive adaptation. Strengthening Māori self-determination (rangatiratanga) and guardianship (kaitiakitanga), and local democracy, are key to mobilizing and sustaining community-based adaptation governance.

“…As [30] argued, although the role of private actors in climate change risk management and the roles of community networks and informal institutions in adaptation are to be emphasized, solid support from the government is necessary as well.…”

This paper explores the current trajectory of multilateral governance for climate change adaptation in S. Korea, which is characterised by vertical and horizontal adaptation governance. This article highlights that the characteristics of adaptation governance can be realised more effectively through grassroot activities at both metropolitan and local government levels. In particular, a thorough examination on the implemented adaptation measures ('national climate change adaptation scheme', 'national climate change adaptation centre', and the climate change 'Ansim Village' project) as well as the limitations at the national and local level were carried out. Ultimately, as a result, this paper suggests of the effective multilateral governance for climate change adaptation; enhancing the multilateral partnership between the national government and local governments, facilitating horizontal governance within the adaptation departments of local governments, managing adaptation horizontal governance by sectors according to the characteristics of climate change risk, and establishing sustainable adaptation governance for 'Ansim' Village.
