“…Participation through mapping puts abstract issues, like planning and governance, into a space that community members know and can relate to. Participatory mapping of flood areas increases local knowledge and preparedness (Bustillos Ardaya et al, 2019), enhances disaster resilience (Haworth et al, 2018), and increases the communication and trust between local governments, researchers, and citizens (Klonner et al, 2021).…”

Flood Risk and River Conservation: Mapping Citizen Perception to Support Sustainable River Management

et al. 2021

Involving citizens in river and flood risk management is critical for risk reduction and sustainable development within river basins, but local community input is often limited. This is partly due to the difficulty of quantifying the perceived values and risks related to the rivers, because these are based on personal knowledge and opinions. There is a need for more data on locals’ opinions and how they are spatially distributed across the river basin. Studies analyzing how perceived risks match evidence-based data can be a first step to including local knowledge in the decision-making process and pose the basis to enhance preparedness. Here, we present a blueprint questionnaire to characterize the perception of flood risk and its spatial distribution across the river basin. Respondents are asked their perception of the role of the river in terms of flood risk and management, as well as to pinpoint on a map the areas they identify as the most dangerous during floods. The approach is tested on the Tagliamento River in the Italian Alps, characterized by debates regarding flood protection, flood management and ecological conservation. The flood risk perception map shows good agreement between perceived risk and existing flood risk assessment maps in the lower basin, where major floods happened in recent memory (1966). In the upper basin, despite having suffered frequent floods, participants are more uncertain about the risks. There is interest in being involved in the risk management debate, and most respondents believe that risk reduction and river conservation are compatible. Land use planning is identified as a factor that can increase flood risk. The results point to the necessity to tackle together conservation, risk management and land use planning in order to develop risk-oriented river management strategies. Our study demonstrates how online participatory mapping can be used to improve the understanding of citizens’ perceptions and expectations with regards to their river, and support participation in sustainable river management.

“…For example, financial costs related to insurance claims may be easy to quantify, while community cohesion may not. If a risk assessment only considers what is easy to measure, it is implicitly giving importance to one dimension over the other (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2021; Klonner et al, 2021). Finally, existing tools are simply better at measuring some disasters than others, creating an invisible measurement bias.…”

In 2018, the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene piloted a novel jurisdictional risk assessment (JRA) for public health disasters using the analytic hierarchy process (2018 JRA‐AHP). This new approach offers a replicable and equitable model for consensus decision‐making that incorporates the complexities of disaster preparedness. Its main contribution to the field is to offer a practical manifestation of emergency management's Whole Community Approach. The 2018 JRA‐AHP applied this principle by expanding traditional definitions of ‘expertise’ to include lived experience of disaster and facilitating direct participation in the risk decision by a variety of individuals with diverse backgrounds, expertise and knowledge of public health disasters. This paper describes the theory, methods and results behind the JRA‐AHP. The paper also presents a critical analysis of public health disaster risk assessments; contextualizes the Whole Community Approach using models of the relationship between democratic governments and communities; and addresses the practical applications of the 2018 JRA‐AHP in NYC while exploring the potential challenges that other jurisdictions may face in attempted adaptation.

“…The data of geolocation of home industries can be collected by participatory mapping using GPS mobile and GIS. Participatory mapping can be used for land use planning/zoning (Brown et al, 2018), regional potential identification (Pelly and Wiyono, 2020) and disaster mapping/mitigation (Klonner et al, 2021).…”

Participatory mapping is a method to geolocate city elements and places involving local people as data collectors. At present, adequate technology for participatory mapping is available, i.e., smartphones, GPS, and the internet. Based on various literature, it is an effective method for obtaining spatial information from individuals. Therefore, in this research, a mobile technology-based participatory mapping method was implemented to identify the home industry's Geolocation as an essential element of Pekalongan city's economy. This research involved Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) students who did Thematic field practice (KKNT) in Pekalongan City. Students were requested to walk and Geolocate the home industries of 6 villages using the Locus Map application. The data collected were transferred to the researcher online to be analyzed the geo-location and concentration of the home industries using Kernell Density analysis in ArcGIS software. The result shows that there are 35 home industries identified on mostly settlements land use and more concentrated in Kuripan Kertoharjo Village. This information is helpful for urban planners to manage settlements where home industries exist. The involvement of students as on-site surveyors was an advantage due to the familiarity with mobile technology.
