“…We are focusing on coastal flooding risk as it remains misunderstood from the viewpoint of its appraisal by the public and the type of protection/adaptation action envisaged (Flanquart, 2012). Indeed, research studies show that inhabitants of exposed areas tend to underestimate this risk (Goeldner-Gianella et al, 2017; Michel-Guillou & Meur-Ferec, 2017).…”

Coastal flooding risks are becoming increasingly important because of the increasing vulnerability of coastal territories and the rise of ocean levels in relation to climate change. Studying the adaptation to these phenomena requires taking into account the coping strategies (problem-focused or emotional-focused coping) implemented by the inhabitants of the exposed territories. A theoretical model of situational and dispositional factors determining these strategies has been proposed and tested empirically with 583 inhabitants of the island of Guadeloupe, which is exposed to said coastal flooding risk. The fit index confirms the adequacy of the model. The results indicate that coastal flooding risk perception, difficulties to regulate emotions, and place attachment predict avoidance coping. Vigilant coping is only predicted by perceived action efficiency. The roles of duration of residence and distance from the sea have been highlighted.

“…According to Slovic (1987), "studies of risk perception examine the judgments people make when they are asked to characterize and evaluate hazardous activities and technologies". Thus an individual's perception could be different from expert assessment of hazard or risk for many reasons including the difficulties of assessing probabilities of hazard, because of a lack of information about the risk (Botzen et al 2009;Heitz and Shimabuku 2017) or because a lack of confidence in the authorities (Goeldner-Gianella et al 2017). Individuals' perception of risk has been widely studied using different methodologies of surveys.…”

Background: This study analyzes individuals' perceptions of areas exposed to coastal flooding at a local level using sketch mapping methodology. In this way, 318 individuals were surveyed in four coastal municipalities in France (Barneville-Carteret, Saintes-Maries-de-lamer , Châtelaillon-Plage and Sainte-Anne). We assessed the disagreement between expert estimates and individuals' perceptions of areas exposed to coastal flooding using sketch mapping indicators. We also determined the relationships between individuals' living environments and the way they perceived the spatial extent of coastal flooding. Results: Respondents were likely to under-assess the exposure of areas that are actually exposed according to expert hazard maps. Perceived distance to coastal flooding areas appeared to be a predominant factor in assessing individuals' perceptions. Conclusions: Local preventive actions could take into account the individuals' tendency to underestimate the areas exposed to coastal flooding. Individual perception of the spatial extent of coastal flooding appeared to be more influenced by the perceived distance of the home to exposed areas than the objective distance. It is a result that raises the question about the individuals' understanding of hazard maps and regulatory maps. This may necessitate the improvement of the appropriation of these documents by the inhabitants by involving them more closely in the application and decision process that directly concerns.

“…Cahyanto and Pennington-Gray (2015) discuss how the role of gender, residence, and past experience with hurricanes affects tourists' voluntary evacuation in such events. Tourist behavior is assessed based on surveys and stated preferences models in Goeldner-Gianella et al (2017) and Matyas et al (2011), which show that tourists behave differently than residents. As an example, a review of the literature on evacuation from natural disasters was conducted by Thompson et al (2017), who identified about 80 independent articles, some of them regarding tourist behavior during disasters.…”

Tourism is one of the largest growing industries worldwide. As the number of tourists is rapidly increasing, so too are tourist safety concerns. The increasing frequency of natural disasters along with the growth of urban areas makes it even more complex to address the resilience of tourists during such events. This article proposes a framework for collecting information about tourist locations and flows within urban areas and how to use this information for more efficient and safe evacuation routing. We define population behavior models that can be obtained from gathering empirical data and categorize them into three groups. We review the different evacuation scenarios (divided into sudden and predictable scenarios) and the types of information needed in each case. Further, we discuss the complexity of monitoring and forecasting tourists’ movements in the long term and for short-term predictions including the available data sources for doing so. The data gathering and tourist behavior are explained with examples from Kyoto, Japan, a major tourist attraction and a location that is prone to disasters. Finally, technological solutions for better guidance during the evacuation process of the population are discussed, including low-tech ones and advanced options such as websites, apps and Bluetooth Low Energy sensors, where the last one is demonstrated by a navigation experiment in a 3D environment.
