Jaarplan onderzoek en innovatie Waternet 2018Alice Fermont
We onderzoeken, werken samen en gebruiken nieuwe technieken. Met als doel de CO2-uitstoot te verkleinen. Maar ook om slimmer te werken en de stad waterbestendig te maken. In het jaarplan 2018 staat wat we dit jaar doen aan onderzoek en innovatie.

‘LAND’
natural-physical system
‘WATER’
FLOODING
the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water
(European Floods Directive)
FLOOD RISK
likelihood of flooding x impact of flood
FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT
actions aimed to reduce the likelihood and/or the impact of floods
12. RESILIENCE: capacity of a system to deal with stresses and strains
system: a set of interacting or interdependent component parts
forming a complex/intricate whole
> spatial system
stresses and strains:
> flooding

21. One needs to better understand the interdependence and co-evolutionary development
of management objectives and paradigms, environmental characteristics, technologies
and social routines, as technical infrastructure, citizen behaviour and habits have co-
evolved over long periods of time.

A CO-EVOLUTIONARY UNDERSTANDING OF FLOOD RISKS
23. A CO-EVOLUTIONARY UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF FLOOD
RISKS
> complex actor field
- different actors contribute to the spatial development of flood risks
- multiple flood risk management strategies, next to each other
- do not always align (sometimes counteract)
> co-evolution
- different flood risk management strategies mutually interact
- feedback loops
- relative autonomy: shaping but not determining
> interactions between these actors determine overall resilience to flooding
24. research question
How do the relations and interactions between the actors that
contribute to the spatial development of flood risks influence
the overall flood resilience?
27. UNDERLYING MECHANISMS: CO-EVOLUTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT ACTORS
1. dominance of structural and protective measures
2. emphasis on economic damage and efficiency
3. responsibility & political decision-making
4. institutionalisation of knowledge on flood risks, little communication
5. insurance & compensation systems
unwanted side effects
• development of flood-prone areas ð higher losses in case of flood
• decreasing tolerance of flood risk ð need for a high degree of safety
• government responsibility ð low autonomous adaptive capacity
30. CO-EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS
1. dominance of structural and protective measures
> diversified approaches
2. emphasis on economic damage and efficiency
> socio-spatial embedding
3. responsibility & political decision-making
> shared responsibility, open discussion
4. institutionalisation of knowledge on flood risks, little communication
> different types of knowledge
5. insurance & compensation systems
> incentivation
33. CO-EVOLUTIONARY PLANNING (action-oriented)
adaptive condition planning
- feedback loops
- indirect interaction
+ dialogue between the two
+ in dialogue with other actors
co-evolutionary interventions
- relative autonomy
- direct interaction
34. CO-EVOLUTIONARY RESILIENCE
(theory)
NEGATIVE SPIRAL
(evidence)
CO-EVOLUTIONARY PLANNING
(action)
the co-evolutionary process between all
the actors involved defines the spatial
development and management of flood
risks, and therefore the overall resilience
institutional framework seems to be
counter-productive for the development of
overall resilience to flooding
by engaging with these co-evolutionary
mechanisms, overall resilience could be
increased
