“…Finally, five deaths and significant damage to properties in Sangan, Keshar, and Sulqan villages were reported for the June 2019 flooding in the Kan River, which also destroyed construction operations on the Tehran-North road [23]. In view of increasing urbanization and the effects of climate change, flood risk is increasing worldwide [24,25]. Nowadays, floods are the most recurrent and costly natural disaster in the world in terms of damage [26].…”

In recent years, the effects of climate change have become more noticeable in Iran, especially in big cities. In particular, climate-related flood risk is increasingly recognized as a potential threat in the capital city of Tehran. Accordingly, the present study aimed to provide a framework/assessment tool to measure Tehran’s resilience to flood risks. To this end, 21 professionals from different disciplines were selected through a purposive sampling procedure and were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The analysis procedure resulted in the identification of 3 themes, 15 categories, 40 subcategories, and 235 codes. The themes were social, economic, and organizational; The identified categories were culture and education (since culture is something to be learned through formal and informal education this component has two features: culture and education), participation, trust, attitude, solidarity, resources, empowerment, flexibility, credit, supervision, intercommunication, rules, specialization, and research. Validation of the indicators and their usability based on the opinions of local experts was used to calibrate the assessment tool and ensure its context-sensitivity. The results of this research can help planners and policymakers to increase their awareness of flood resilience. The approach taken in this research may also be useful for developing flood resilience assessment tools in other Iranian cities as well as in other cities of the Global South with similar conditions.

“…The IAD framework has been applied widely in policy, governance, and institutional studies [20,21,23,24,[30][31][32][33]. The framework was initially developed to analyze the structure and process of interactions between policy actors to achieve efficient and sustainable use of common-pool resources in multilevel and polycentric governance settings [34].…”

“…In this section, we operationalize the rules-in-use that are part of the IAD framework [18,19] for the analysis of essential institutional conditions set or induced by international resilience programs for the development and implementation of inclusive flood resilience strategies (see Table 1). We thus draw on insights from flood resilience literature [3][4][5]10,21,25,[36][37][38] to further operationalize the seven rules-in-use for analyzing the institutional conditions introduced by international programs to build inclusive flood resilience.…”

“…To analyze the specific institutional arrangement of these programs, we adopted the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework developed by Ostrom [18]. The IAD framework provides an analytical tool to systematically examine the operational rules that govern the interaction among various actors in a multilevel governance setting [19,20], and facilitates the analysis of the interaction and the conditions that are essential for institutional transformation [17,21,22]. Moreover, the IAD framework was selected because it was adopted to analyze the relational structure and negotiation process affecting the sustainable outcomes of international development assistance in developing countries [23,24].…”

Policy makers in Southeast Asian flood-vulnerable regions are confronted with various institutional challenges when planning for inclusive flood resilience. This paper focuses on the role of international resilience programs and investigates how these programs can enable institutional transformation. The key question is which institutional conditions promote the development and implementation of inclusive flood resilience strategies by international resilience programs. The Mekong Delta Plan in Vietnam (MDP) and the Water as Leverage for Resilient Cities Asia (WaL) program in Semarang, Indonesia, are selected as the cases for a comparative analysis. To structure the comparative analysis of these programs, the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework is adopted and operationalized for the institutional analysis of inclusive flood resilience planning. The findings illustrate that whereas the MDP was able to involve decision makers from the national government and international financial institutions for mobilizing funding and technical support, the strength of the WaL program was its enabling environment for the cocreation of context-specific flood resilience proposals. Overall, this study concludes that the institutional conditions that enable project financing and the implementation of long-term and integrated flood resilience solutions are determined by engagement with national governments and by ownership of the solutions at both the national and local levels.

“…While often efforts for climate change adaptation are started dynamically, the longterm surveillance of their implementation as well as the effectiveness of the measures undertaken deserves institutionalisation. According to some researchers [32,45,77], institutionalised long-term cooperation in climate adaptation (and the related processes such as knowledge exchange) are at the heart of successful long-term climate proofing policies. However, attempts of institutionalisation have been complicated by a shift from centralized government to more inclusive and open governance structures [75].…”

Spatial planning holds a key role in preventing or mitigating the impacts of climate change on both cities and rural areas, taking a forward-thinking and holistic approach to urban and regional development. As such, spatial planning deals with challenges occurring at different scales and across sectors. The international literature points out the need for horizontal and vertical cooperation to tackle climate change impacts. While there is abundant knowledge regarding the challenges related to climate change at different spatial levels, procedural integration into planning frameworks and practice is currently under-researched. This paper presents a novel theoretical framework that integrates various steps towards a holistic, integrative and adaptive climate proofing process. An iterative process was used for conceptual development, based on literature review followed by external feedback meetings and two workshops with the core team of planning experts responsible for exchange across federal states. By specifically addressing the challenges relating to cross-regional and cross-sectoral planning, this novel framework attempts to (i) facilitate a hierarchy of measures, (ii) maximise co-benefits for various adaptation purposes and climate change mitigation and (iii) foster the long-term institutionalisation of integrative processes across sectors, planning areas and policy levels.
