Abstract
The relations between preparedness and psycho-social attributes of people
and communities exposed to river floods in a nearly pristine socio hydrological system were investigated, applying hydrological-hydraulic
analysis of flood risk in combination with results from a survey, social
cartography, semi-structured non-participant observation, and semi structured interviews.
Results show that preparedness in nearly pristine systems is noticeable
different to those reported for altered systems. People adopted innovative,
simple, but efficient measures against floods, conditioned by (1) damage
suffered during past floods, (2) perceived exposure to floods, and (3) the
number of dependent people in the household.
The studied system resulted well adapted to floods but not resilient.
Collecting preparedness explaining attributes as part of flood risk
management plans would contribute towards uncertainty reduction in risk
calculations and increase safety of goods and people against floods.
