Household Adaptation Strategies to Climate Extremes Impacts and Population Dynamics: Case Study from the Czech Republic
Original language description
The main aim of this chapter is to identify and analyze adaptation strategies of local households to impacts of extreme climatic phenomena, primarily flooding and economical, demographical and other circumstances of adaptation. Our research focused on households living in 22 smaller municipalities, mainly in the Bečva River basin located in the northeastern part of the Czech Republic. We conducted quantitative survey among representatives of 605 households. Research shows a perceived increasing intensity and frequency of climate extremes impacts from floods within last two decades. Further, we recognized a set of household-level adaptation strategies outside houses (such as terraces, elevated ground floor constructions, and hydro-isolation from external water) and highlighted economic costs connected with floods, insurance strategies, and population dynamics. The strategy of large-scale migration from the floodplains of rivers has not been applied, even in high-risk zones.
