Regardless of how well we implement sustainability plans, now and in the future, the weight of scientific evidence indicates that mean sea level will continue to rise at an increasing rate over the next century. Thus, coastal lands and development lie in a precarious position, increasingly vulnerable to flood damage brought by storm surges and extreme weather events. In order to avoid disastrous losses of property, life, ecological health and social wellbeing, our cities and regions must quickly implement adaptation plans that consider plausible climate models. Coastal risk can be managed through rigid protections, soft landscape solutions, and land use decisions and regulations. In developing and implementing adaptation plans, it is important to understand the options and their applicability to different site contexts. Experts warn that today's once-in-a century flood will likely occur every two or three years by 2050!' However, Boston, like many other U.S. coastal cities, is in the early stages of devising adaptation plans that seek to reduce coastal flood risk from sea level rise. As implementation of adaptation plans may take several years or decades, Boston should act quickly to strategically consider its options. This thesis examines the effectiveness of different planning approaches to hazard mitigation in urban coastal areas and applies them to at-risk sites in East Boston under coastal flood scenarios for the years 2050 and 2100. Two sites in East Boston, one with a soft edge and one with a hard edge, create two distinct urban landscapes for design solutions.
(cont.) A menu of planning solutions that has been collected from a review of the literature and best practices is then used to inform design solutions to these problems. By applying contemporary predictions for sea level rise and the problem-specific expertise of coastal management to the site-specific realm of land use planning, I hope to provide a precedent and method for planners, particularly in the Boston area, to seriously incorporate sea level rise predictions into community discussions, regulations, and comprehensive plan making.

City leaders around the world are planning new infrastructure in response to the compound challenges of 1) flooding linked to climate change and 2) uneven urbanization. Advocates of contemporary flood mitigation efforts often frame their proposals as qualitatively different than the 'gray' levee and pump projects of previous generations. 20th century dry city infrastructural modernization projects promised to protect against flood hazards and enable urban growth, but they also had serious negative social and ecological consequences. New projects promise infrastructure that is 'green', flexible, and resilient. Building on changes in water management in the Netherlands, many recent projects around the world include a central role for designers and spatial planners. Though these new approaches have gained widespread favor, significant questions remain: Will these new flood mitigation efforts address the problems of previous generations or will they usher in more damaging mega-projects? How are the tools of design enabling and constraining transformative adaptation? To address these questions, this study analyzes the evolving politics of flood mitigation through a transnational case study of Dhaka and New Orleans, two levee-dependent cities that are considering sweeping changes to their flood mitigation strategies. The case studies use a range of data, including: archival research on flood mitigation and planning processes; field observations of built environment conditions; and interviews with residents, experts, and participants in recent planning processes. The study considers contemporary adaptation efforts in the context of historical flood mitigation and finds that, while emerging practices hold promise, there is reason for caution. By the end of the 20th century, both Dhaka and New Orleans had substantially similar systems of levees and pumps. The development of these dry city infrastructures was uneven, crisis-driven, and contested. Critics increasingly regarded levee-enabled growth as unwise and unjust. Though levee boosters promised that dry city infrastructures would bring modernization and orderly growth, once in place, each city's levees became embedded in broader socio-technical networks, or levee complexes, whose particular place-specific dynamics have created distinct patterns of uneven urbanization and vulnerability. The cases of Dhaka and New Orleans suggest that contemporary projects may not deliver their promised new paradigm of flood mitigation because: existing levee complexes are highly resistant to change; path-dependent dynamics bias planning towards 'big engineering'; and even those proposals that depart from previous practices are constrained by the entrenched material interests and epistemologies that have created the unwise and unjust patterns of the past. While the inclusion of designers offers the potential for improvements in urban flood mitigation projects, there are also serious challenges. When designers are not able or willing to grapple with the place-specific political contestations that come with major planning and infrastructure interventions, their tools can be used to depoliticize these processes, ignoring, obscuring, or rushing past the distributional impacts of flood and climate adaptation.

Lopes, Carina de Lurdes Bastos. "Flood risk assessment in Ria de Aveiro under present and future scenarios." Doctoral thesis, Universidade de Aveiro, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10773/16277.
Повний текст джерелаFloods are a major threat to coastal regions, affecting millions of people, socioeconomic activities and natural ecosystems. Ria de Aveiro is a coastal lagoon, particularly threatened by floods, facing permanent changes motivated by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Consequently, the main aim of this study is to assess flood risk for floods of oceanic, fluvial and combined origin in Ria de Aveiro under present and future scenarios. This study also aims to propose and evaluate the effectiveness of structural measures on flood risk mitigation. These goals were achieved by applying the methodology Source - Pathway - Receptor, which is a multidisciplinary approach that comprised the following steps: 1) characterization of flooding drivers (oceanic and fluvial) through statistical analysis; 2) implementation, calibration and application of hydro/morphodynamic models to identify the flooding pathway and the flood extent; 3) assessment of flood damage by identifying the socio-economic and ecological assets exposed to flood hazard and determining flood risk by combining the probability and the adverse effects of flood events on assets. In addition, the effectiveness of flood barriers and changes in the lagoon central area geometry on flood risk mitigation was assessed. Results highlight that oceanic floods are consequence of signifcant sea levels induced by storm surge events (>0.4 m) and high tidal levels (>3.3 m), which increased in the last decades due to the general lagoon deepening motivated by dredging activities. These morphological changes increased the tidal prism, the tidal currents and the flood extent, increasing the threat to floods of oceanic origin. These endanger settlements and economic activities (mainly, agriculture, industry and commerce) located along the lagoon main channels margins as well as habitats in the lagoon central area. Floods of fluvial origin occur during adverse weather conditions, and endanger the rivers mouth adjacent regions causing damage in restricted settlements, economic activities (almost only agriculture) and farmland habitats. Besides the areas dominated by oceanic and fluvial forcing, the events of combined origin also affect the margins adjacent to the transition zones, once the flood water drainage is hindered by high sea levels. Although the uncertainties associated to the influence of anthropogenic actions on the lagoon geomorphology, it is predicted an/a increase/decrease of flood risk for events of oceanic/fluvial origin under future scenarios, as consequence of mean sea level rise/river discharges reduction predicted for the region. Finally, this work demonstrated the potential of hydrodynamic modelling for simulate the effectiveness of structural measures on flood risk mitigation, and consequently in supporting the decision making process underlying the flood risk management.
As inundações são uma das maiores ameaças às regiões costeiras, afetando milhões de pessoas, atividades socioeconómicas e ecossistemas. As lagunas costeiras, como a Ria de Aveiro, são sistemas de baixo relevo marginal, particularmente ameaçados por inundações, que enfrentam permanentes mudanças motivadas por fatores naturais e antropogénicos. Consequentemente, o presente estudo tem como objetivo principal avaliar o risco de inundação para eventos de origem oceânica, fluvial e combinada na Ria de Aveiro em cenários presentes e futuros. É também objetivo deste trabalho propor e avaliar a eficiência de medidas estruturais na mitigação do risco de inundação. Para alcançar estes objetivos foi aplicada a metodologia Fonte - Percurso - Recetor, uma abordagem multidisciplinar que compreendeu a realização dos seguintes passos: 1) caracterização dos agentes forçadores de cheias (oceânicos e fluviais) através de análises estatísticas; 2) implementação, calibração e aplicação de modelos hidro/morfodinâmicos para identificação do percurso e extensão de inundação; 3) avaliação dos danos causados pelas inundações, através da identificação dos elementos socioeconómicos e ecológicos expostos ao perigo de inundação e do cálculo do risco combinando a probabilidade com os efeitos adversos das inundações nos elementos expostos. Adicionalmente avaliou-se a eficiência de barreiras de inundação e de alterações na geometria da área central da laguna na mitigação do risco de inundação. Os resultados evidenciam que as inundações de origem oceânica são consequência de elevações significativas no nível do mar induzidas por sobre-elevações de origem meteorológica (>0.4 m) e níveis de maré elevados (>3.3 m), os quais aumentaram na Ria de Aveiro nas últimas décadas em resposta ao aprofundamento generalizado da laguna motivado por dragagens nos canais principais. Estas alterações morfológicas aumentaram o prisma de maré, as correntes de maré e a extensão de inundação, aumentando a ameaça de inundações de origem oceânica. Estas ameaçam aglomerados populacionais e atividades económicas (principalmente agricultura, indústria e comércio) localizadas ao longo das margens dos canais principais e ainda habitats localizados na área central da laguna. As inundações de origem fluvial ocorrem em condições atmosféricas adversas e ameaçam as regiões adjacentes à foz dos rios, causando danos em pequenos aglomerados populacionais e atividades económicas (quase exclusivamente agricultura). Além das regiões de influência oceânica e fluvial, os eventos de origem combinada afetam particularmente as áreas adjacentes às zonas de transição, uma vez que aí a drenagem é dificultada pela sobre-elevação do nível do mar. Apesar das incertezas relacionadas com a infuência de atividades antropogénicas na geomorfologia da laguna, prevê-se uma intensificação/redução do risco de inundação de origem oceânica/fluvial em cenários futuros, como consequência do aumento do nível do mar/diminuição das descargas fluviais previstas para a região. Finalmente, este trabalho demonstrou o potencial da modelação hidrodinâmica para simular a eficiência de medidas estruturais na mitigação do risco de inundação, e consequentemente no suporte ao processo de tomada de decisão subjacente à gestão do risco de inundação.

Despite the growing number of urban adaptation planning initiatives to climate change hazards, there exist significant barriers related to implementation uncertainties that hinder translation of adaptation plans into actions, resulting in a widely recognized ‘planning-implementation gap’ across scales and regions. Bridging the planning-implementation gap will require overcoming implementation uncertainties by better understanding the relationships between the primary factors driving adaptation planning initiatives and emerging adaptation options across spatial scales. The modified Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response model published by Rounsevell, Dawson, and Harrison in 2010 provided a robust framework for identifying the primary factors driving adaptation planning initiatives and the emerging adaptation options related to risk of changing climate and flooding events in the urban context. Drawing on evidence from the systematic review of 121 adaptation planning case studies across North America, this research derived qualitative and quantitative data, which was subsequently analyzed using binary logistic regression to generate objective and generalizable findings. The findings of binary logistic regression models suggest that the choice of specific adaptation options (namely enhancing adaptive capacity; management and conservation; and improving urban infrastructure, planning, and development) may be predicted based on the assessment of primary factors driving adaptation planning initiatives (namely, anticipation of economic benefits; perceived threats to management and conservation of urban natural resources; support of human and social systems; and improvement of policy and regulations) in relation to the risk of changing climate and urban flooding events. This does not imply that other primary factors (namely information and knowledge; perceived funding and economic opportunities; evidence of climate change effects; and general concerns) have no or insignificant relationships with the selection of adaptation options, only that the review did not find evidence to support such claims. These study findings may offer useful guidance to the design and further development of planning and decision support tools that could be used for assessment of adaptation plans and selection of robust adaptation options that take account of uncertainties surrounding implementation of effective climate adaptation actions. Study findings can also inform evidence-based policy and investment decision making, especially in regions where urban adaptation plans are weak or absent.

Повний текст джерелаIn France, one in four inhabitants is exposed to floods. In this thesis, we studied the mechanisms that lead individuals to adapt to these natural risks. More specifically, we examined the influence of the characteristics of individuals and their situations relating to risks on their adaptation decisions. To do so, we conducted a quantitative survey of 331 inhabitants of flood-prone areas in the South of France. To design the questionnaire used in the quantitative survey, we relied on the literature and on the analysis of an exploratory qualitative survey. According to our results, the appraisal of the threat posed by floods and the perception of the severity of past experiences of such disasters have a positive effect on adaptation intentions, as described in the Protection Motivation Theory (Grothmann and Reusswig, 2006). Our results also suggest the existence of a negative feedback effect of past adaptation decisions on the appraisal of the threat posed by floods. Consequently, caution should be taken when interpreting the observed relations between perceptions and past adaptation decisions. Moreover, our results show a positive relation between indicators of the frequency and severity of floods and the respondents' perceptions of these features. Since these perceptions have a positive effect on the intention to adapt, it implies that the individuals who face the most frequent and severe floods are the most likely to adapt to these risks in our sample. We also examined the relations between perceptions and attitudes in the domains of financial and flood risks and studied the influence of these variables on individual adaptation to floods. To do so, we used the financial subscale of the DOSPERT psychometric scale (Weber et al., 2002; Blais and Weber, 2006) and developed a new subscale following this model, but relating to flood risks. The new subscale has acceptable internal and external consistencies. The analysis of the data collected using the flood and financial risks subscales suggests that these two types of risks tend to compete with each other. Hence, the importance granted by the respondents to financial risks compared to flood risks seems to have a negative effect on their adaptation intentions. Consequently, precautionary measures cannot be treated as types of self-insurance, which reduce only the risk of financial loss. Thus, our results suggest that individual adaptation to floods depends in particular on people's perceptions and attitudes regarding financial and flood risks, but also on their perceptions regarding the measures that can be taken to adapt to floods. According to the social amplification of risk framework (Kasperson et al., 1988), perceptions and attitudes can be modified by the first-hand or indirect experience of a risk. Our results support the hypothesis that first-hand flood experience changes attitudes and perceptions, not only in the flood domain, but also in the financial domain. To examine the role of indirect experience of floods on individual adaptation, we designed a theoretical model. It describes the relations between the components which can be taken into account to study the diffusion of an adaptation measure within a social network. In particular, social interactions are represented in this model

Повний текст джерелаFlooding is one of the world's main natural hazards. In view of this risk, being amplified by climate change, management has become crucial, especially in low-lying coastal areas. Risk perception, as a complex notion referring to cognitive, social, economic and environmental aspects, is a real contribution to reveal the vulnerability points of populations. This PhD thesis adresses the analysis of the population's perception of the flood risk within the "Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque". In this territory, located on a densely populated, urbanized and historically flood-affected low-lying coastal area, a large perception survey was carried out among inhabitants and risk management stakeholders. Its aim was to measure their flood risk perception and to bring to light various factors that influence it. The survey was conducted according to a methodology at the crossroads of several disciplines (geography, sociology, psychosociology and economics). The results highlight : (1) a discordant perception of this risk and a low concern ; (2) spatial risk representations very different from official ones ; (3) the influence of risk perception on willingness to pay to prevent themselves from risk. This thesis provides input to cindynics sciences and risk geography. It suggests adjustments to reduce these inhabitant's vulnerability to flood risk

Повний текст джерелаThis PhD thesis deals with the flood risk management and the adaptation capacities of coastal areas, in regard of the climate change.Currently, the flood hazard vulnerability is aggravated by both the climate change phenomenon and the huge exposure, of people and assets, in risk areas. In the general framework of Theseus european project, this research work has particularly focused on the Gironde estuary, in France, as a case study.The aim of this work is to provide an alternative framework of adaptation for the flood risk management, in regard of the climate change related uncertainties.In this order, our research is initiated by anexploratory study , of the local perception toward the flood hazard, followed by the analysis of the current flood risk management, as a set of structural and nonstructural measures.The published papers, included in this report, summarize our results and illustrate our iterative approach between the field data collection and the theoretical concepts analysis.This thesis research has led to put forward an operationnal framework to enhance the resilience applied to land use planning, warning systems and evacuation plans, business recovery plans, insurance programs and post trauma management

Повний текст джерелаIn the future, agriculture and environment will rely on more and more heterogeneous data collected by wireless sensor networks (WSN). These data are generally used in decision support systems (DSS). In this dissertation, we focus on adaptive context-aware systems based on WSN and DSS, dedicated to the monitoring of natural phenomena. Thus, a formalization for the design and the deployment of these kinds of systems is proposed. The considered context is established using the data from the studied phenomenon but also from the wireless sensors (e.g., their energy level). By the use of ontologies and reasoning techniques, we aim to maintain the required quality of service (QoS) level of the collected data (according to the studied phenomenon) while preserving the resources of the WSN. To illustrate our proposal, a complex use case, the study of floods in a watershed, is described. During this PhD thesis, a simulator for context-aware systems which integrates a multi-agent system (JADE) and a rule engine (Jess) has been developed.Keywords: ontologies, rule-based inferences, formalization, heterogeneous data, sensors data streams integration, WSN, limited resources, DSS, adaptive context-aware systems, QoS, agriculture, environment

Today however, a new era is opening up for high-resolution imaging, which should no longer be limited to giving access to tissue structures, but may also tackle their functions. In fact, biomarkers for the functioning of the whole human body can be found in retinal imaging. Neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's) or arterial hypertension could thus be diagnosed early by high precision imaging of the retina. In my thesis work, I intended to show how the full-field ophthalmoscope, associated to imaging modalities adjusting geometrical settings of the illumination, could contribute to research on the retina. To achieve this ambitious goal, we modified the full-field ophthalmoscope built at the National Hospital Center of Quinze-Vingts with a specific image processing and two new instruments inspired by full-field microscopy. We have integrated these instruments into the illumination path of the ophthalmoscope to manipulate the geometry of the retinal illumination. These new implementations allow us to make use of more advanced imaging techniques, such as dark field imaging or noninvasive near infrared angiography. These imaging modalities have been exploited to image the retina functionally. We focused mainly on the light coupling function of photoreceptors and on blood perfusion

Повний текст джерелаWhile the flood risk in many places in Sweden is already high, flooding and rainfall are expected to become increasingly common in the future. Urban stormwater systems today are usually unable to cope with the extreme conditions of floods that occur, thus the built environment is severely exposed. The need to adapt the built environment is becoming much clearer as floods are expected to increase over time. Property owners today often lack tools and strategies for climate adaptation and since the primary responsibility for adapting property portfolios in municipalities is placed upon property owners themselves, there is a strong need for climate adaptation and support for private sectors and large property owners. This thesis aims to identify qualities of buildings and in what combination these make a property portfolio vulnerable to floods. In this case study, a number of methods have been used to assess risks of Stångåstadens’ property portfolio and identify possible adaptation options. Part of the case study consists of an expert workshop with researchers at Linköping University and employees at Stångåstaden where an assessment of the qualities of the buildings and a discussion of adaptation measures have been carried out. The thesis’s results show amongst other things that buildings vulnerability are presented by a combination of qualities. In Stångåstadens property portfolio the building’s elevation in relation to surroundings and sensitive equipment in the basement a combination of qualities that contribute to the buildings vulnerability. The discussion involves an action proposal to minimize the flood risk in Johannelunds centrum in Linköping, which is one of Stångåstadens most vulnerable areas. In the discussion the thesis’s result will also be compared with earlier research in the field to clarify similarities and differences, as well as to demonstrate the need of cooperation for climate adaptation amongst property owners. One of the conclusions is that the mapping on building levels are suitable for exposure and sensitivity, but is not optimal for mapping property owners adaptability.

Повний текст джерелаAdaptive capacity to floods means the inherent capacity of individuals or systems to adjust and cope with its effects, in order to moderate potential damages. The city of São Paulo is particularly vulnerable to floods due to its history of occupation and land use. The goal of this research was to analyze the adaptive capacity in the local reality of the Jardim Pantanal residents, located in the east zone of the municipality of São Paulo, at the bed of Tietê River, in order to propose actions that can contribute in building this capacity. The research was developed through bibliographical and documental research, semi-structured interviews, transcript analysis, coding and categorization of data. Generic and specific adaptative capacities in the individual and system organizational levels are low, and among the determinants of adaptive capacity to floods, financial resources, urban vulnerability and coping strategies are considered the most important at the individual level. The lack of resources and the instability and lack of diversification of income sources limit the options available in regular housing areas and make it difficult to mobilize resources for the adoption of preventive and post-event recovery measures. Urban vulnerability is due to illegal land occupation, where investments in infrastructure, which could reduce the exposure to the impacts of floods, are not made by residents, because they dont know for how long they will be able to stay in the area. Coping strategies were found to have only a reactive character, without any planning, being decided and taken reactively when the water rises. Given the observed aspects, building adaptive capacity to floods in Jardim Pantanal requires a) understanding between autonomous (individual) and planned (system) adaptation measures; b) anticipatory rather than responsive adaptation actions; and c) short and long-term adaptation measures to consider the vulnerabilities arising during the adaptation period.

Повний текст джерелаEl fenómeno urbano de las inundaciones es recurrente y se espera que se agrave en el futuro cercano y lejano, no sólo a la luz de las proyecciones de cambio climático, pero también si los enfoques de la gestión de inundaciones continúan el camino de "business as usual". Enfrentando esta temática, la investigación propone el diseño del espacio público como un componente clave en la adaptación a los eventos de inundación urbana actuales y estimados. Los esfuerzos de adaptación a los cambios climáticos ya han entrado en la agenda urbana y están influyendo en el planeamiento urbano y en el diseño del espacio público. Esta tendencia emergente está también impulsando nuevos paradigmas de gestión de inundaciones que reconocen la práctica de la integración de los ecosistemas y del ciclo natural del agua. La tesis desarrolla un enfoque dirigido a la práctica, prestando una especial atención al diseño y previendo una aplicación directa en el proyecto contemporáneo. Su objetivo principal es desarrollar un marco conceptual de las medidas de adaptación a inundaciones aplicables en el diseño de los espacios públicos. Un marco que ofrezca una amplia gama de soluciones conceptuales sistematizadas, con la finalidad de promover y facilitar las etapas iniciales de un proyecto de espacio público con las capacidades de adaptación a inundaciones. Su relevancia y aplicabilidad son testadas en el caso del ayuntamiento de Lisboa. En síntesis, al abordar el tema de las inundaciones urbanas a través del diseño del espacio público, las respuestas convencionales, practicadas aisladamente en ámbitos disciplinares estrictos, se enfrentan a los beneficios amplios e interdisciplinarios aportados por el espacio público.
