FLOOD DAMAGE, VULNERABILITY AND RISK PERCEPTION – CHALLENGES FOR FLOOD DAMAGE RESEARCH
Abstract In this contribution it is argued that the current challenge in flood damage research consists in developing a better understanding of the interrelations and social dynamics of flood risk perception, preparedness, vulnerability, flood damage and flood management, and to take this into account in a modern design of flood damage analysis and flood risk management. Accordingly, the sections of this contribution are organised as follows: In the next section the relationship between flood damage, vulnerability and risk perception is analysed and clarified. Section three deals with state-of-the-art approaches to flood damage analysis. The fourth section discusses the shortcomings of the current approaches with a special focus on the disregard for socio-economic factors and methods. Finally, the contribution concludes with an outlook, presenting current EU research efforts to improve state-of-the-art approaches to flood damage analysis.
