Household Coping with and Adapting to River Flood Risk: Case Study of Becva River Basin

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Surveys of 304 households were used to determine flood risk reduction measures adopted in the case study of the Bečva River in the Czech Republic. Coping and adaptation measures were differentiated for river flood risk, but uptake of both was low, irrespective of experience with floods. Cost seemed to be a barrier towards implementation, but more work is needed to understand the combination of factors limiting adoption of household flood risk reduction measures. Regression analysis indicated that more men and more children in a household would support the adoption of measures, as does perception of living in a flood risk zone. When a house is elevated up from ground level by 1 metre or more, the likelihood of taking further measures decreased by 20%. Further investigation of these factors and why, not just how, they influence household choices would support flood risk reduction strategies, especially under a changing climate
