摘要:Public participation is becoming increasingly important in integrative
river restoration projects. However, studies show that flood risk
awareness is generally low among residents of flood-prone areas,
making it (more) difficult for project managers to involve the public.
We contribute to understanding this generally low flood risk perception
by carrying out a survey (N = 631) among residents in
a Dutch floodplain and studying the connection between flood
risk perception and sense of place. We found that expected damage
is influenced by (collective) memory of near-floods and that residents
with a high self- and group efficacy expect less damage.
Against our hypothesis, we conclude that sense of place hardly
influences flood risk perception, only nature bonding does. We
recommend further research to study the complex relationships
between flood risk perception, sense of place and self-efficacy
from a theoretical need, but also because of the implications of
these results for communication in flood risk management and
motivations to engage in participation processes.
