1. The document presents the results of a study that assessed risk awareness and perceptions of risk governance in three coastal communities: Avignon, Canada; Kilkeel, UK; and Chipiona, Spain. 2. To quantify risk awareness, the author examined perceptions of dreadfulness, uncertainty, and intended behavioral change. Functional awareness was highest in Avignon and lowest in Chipiona, likely due to differences in education levels and access to information across communities. 3. When quantifying perceptions of risk governance, the author compared citizens' and managers' preferences for decision-making actors and roles. Coherence between citizens and managers was highest in Avignon and lowest in Chipiona. Differences included perceptions of appropriate government levels of

3. Intendedbehavioural changeStarr, 1969
Starr, 1969
Orford and McFadden, 2002
• Factors of influence on perceptions across areas
1. Perception of dreadfulness: comparison with scientific literature +
personal experience of the coast (+ / -)
2. Perception of uncertainty: causes, trends
3. Intented behavioural change: favor for sustainable/preventive solutions
• Indicators robust across coastal areas and pertinent for vulnerability
• Semi-quantitative approach + multivariate statistics with descriptors

37. Discussion and conclusions

38. Discussion and conclusions
• Major contribution: development of a new coastal
vulnerability diagnosis method
– Multidisciplinary perspective broader than manyothers, sustainable
decision-oriented
– End-point assessment of vulnerability, mix of many schools of
vulnerability
• Limits
– Sampling size
– Erosion projection vs. hazardmapping
– Simplification and aggregation
• Key vulnerability factors
38

39. Conclusion
• In short, we produced a transdiciplinary Diagnosis
that is theoretically rooted, that distinghishes by its
scientific rigor and its anchor in the communities,
and by accessible representations for non-experts.
• Perspectives for innovation
– Erosion projections: climate reanalysis + bayesian statistics
– From vulnerability to adaptation and resilience building
research: evolution over time
– Optimize CB coastal management based on legal scenarios

normatifs et orientés vers la pratique pour aider à résoudre, atténuer et
prévenir des problèmes du monde vivant. La RT aborde les
problématiques d’une manière qui lui permet de (a) saisir la complexité
des problèmes, (b) prendre en compte les perceptions diverses des
problèmes, selon qu’elles émanent de la science ou du monde vivant, (c)
établir des liens entre savoirs abstraits et spécifiques à des cas concrets, et
(d) développer des savoirs et des pratiques qui promeuvent ce qui est
perçu comme étant le bien commun. »

77. Coastal vulnerability key approaches
2. Community-based multicriteria (semi-quantitative)
• Importance of community-
scale for risk management
Cutter et al.,2008;UNISDR et al.,2010;Boyer-
Villemaireet al.(2014a)

78. Vulnerability to coastal hazards
How to maintain the quality of life of communities
despite coastal landscape modification?
"The characteristicsand circumstancesof a community, system or asset
that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard […] arising from
various physical,social, economic, and environmentalfactors"
UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction(UNISDR, 2009)
1. Evolving resilience, ecological losses
2. Landloss and builtassets
3. Perceptions (risk + governance)
4. Intangiblevalues
5. Adaptation/Maladaptation
6. Institutional context (process + capacity)
for adaptivemanagement of hazards
under multi-stakeholderapproach
From an social-ecological perspective (Anderies et al, 2004; Décamp, 2007)

• Vulnerability: a framework prescribed by UNISDR, IPCC…
(McFadden et al., 2007)
78

79. Framework, objectives and motivations
Social motivations
– Importance of community-scale for coastalmanagement: Mutual
knowledge construction (applied & participative research)
– Quebec coastal geoscience research chair’s objectives
– Social anchored research: better define the adaptation tracks
– Visual representation
General hypothesis
A method to approach coastalerosion hazard using a multidisciplinary
vulnerability framework should allow to produce an appraisal of the
vulnerability in the coastal communities facing coastal erosion and flooding
under a climate change that is
just, operational and satisfactory.

84. Reformulate research hypothesis
• « Nous posons l’hypothèse qu’une évaluation
de l’aléa d’érosion côtière à l’aide d’un cadre
écosociosystémique de la vulnérabilité des
communautés fournit un portrait juste,
opérationnel et satisfaisant des principaux
facteurs de vulnérabilité dans les
communautés côtières faisant face aux aléas
d’érosion et de submersion dans un contexte
de changements climatiques. »
– Suggested by T. B.B.
84

85. Indicators relative to the hypothesis
• Just = scientific validity
– According to Hinkel 2013
• Based on inductive arguments
• Targeting vulnerability hotspots/groups
• Using predictive (projective) model of erosion
– Cross-scale and integrated (Füssel, 2007; Watts and Bohl, 1993)
• Operational = "quantifyable", repeatable,
usable by end-users, accessible
• Satisfying = According to feedback from the
communities
85

86. 2- FUNCTIONAL AWARENESS
86

87. Background
1. Risk perceptions = vital role in decreasing vulnerability
2. Not well quantified at the level of collective decision-making
3. Coastal domain:
• Single type of coast and/or single hazard perceptions
• Coastal management strategies

96. Discussion
• Results confirmed by multiple correspondance analysis
• Risk representation
• Basic knowledge agreement: causes of ERO, seasonality ERO + FLO
• Dreadfulness: AVI: greater ability to observe nb. phenomena, changes,
concordance with geoscience data
• Uncertainty: CHI: lowest environmental variability , cross-scale issues
(ERO-CC)
1. Informationand education: Similar geoscience trend in KIL and CHI, but
lower identificantion and concordance in CHI
• Illateracy rate 20% in Cadix prov. ;
• Greater missing geoscience data
• Misinformation related to media use of “heatwaves”
• But high concern of Spanish citizens about climate change
• cultural prejudice climate warming vs. change
• Ackowledgement by the community: favouring information campaign
ERO: erosion
FLO: coastalflooding
(FBBVA, 2007)
(Dominguez-Arcos et al. ,2011)
AVI > KIL > CHI

97. Discussion
2. Differential experience of the coast:
• More diverse activities in AVI; not only during sunny days like in CHI
• AVI’s 2010/12 and 2005 mentionned by all respondents (not in KIL, CHI)
• High level of new comers, health profesionnals and weatlthynew retired
• Intended behavioural change:
ERO: erosion
FLO: coastalflooding
CC: climate change
(Grothmann and Patt, 2005)
• Managementand preventivesolutions
in top 6
• BUT opposed attitudestowards hard
engineering
• Changed since 2005-2006 survey
• Lower agreement in AVI: good
understandingof uncertainty
• Overoptimisticin KIL about all
solutions:lack of guidelines
(Cooper and Pilkey, 2010)
(Friesinger and Bernatchez, 2010)
(MacInnis et al., 2013)
AVI ~ KIL > CHI
• Recognized lack of information
• Largely favouredhard engineering
• Need better geoscience data
• Not aware of local scientifc research
97

98. Discussion
• Importance du facteur AREA
• Explication biophysique
– Plus de phénomène à Avignon
• Explication socio-économique
– Plus de sensibilisation et d’événements au Québec
• Connaissances générales: expérience (durée dans la communauté,âge) et
niveau de scolarité
• Perception des phénomènes: niveau de scolarité (nécessité de sensibilisaition)
• Solutions: Éducationet aspect collectif/dialogue (taille du ménage)
• Tendances (taille du ménage et âge)
– Plus d’activités
– => Niveau de conscientisation fonctionnelle à AVI
• Indifférence à KILKEEL
• Faible niveau d’éducation et d’information à CHIPIONA

99. 3- GOVERNANCE PERCEPTIONS

100. Background
• Scarcity of risk governance perceptions studies
– Even less in a vulnerability context
• 1. Individuals’ perceptions
– Barriers to adaptation: affective bias
– Institutional performance perception (satisfaction)
• 2. Managers perceptions
– Preoccupations about CC adaptation
• 3. Is collaborative management likely to be successful?
– Collective agreement: individuals + managers

• Community-based land-use scheme?
• Influence of type of coast on built assets?
• Future development by type of coast?
• Others?
Community-based land-use
scheme?
Built assets or protection by
type of coast
Future development by type
of coast
Others
No:
- Land-use schemes designed
by planning office (DOENI)
in Craigavon for Kilkeel;
- does not include erosion-
trend-based cliff security
margins
- include flood maps
produced by Rivers Agency.
High coasts: none (left to
owners)
Low coasts: none (left to
owners)
High coasts: minimal margins
are mapped by DOENI in
land-use schemes, but not
based on erosion trends
Low coasts: beaches: Humid
areas: Sites with
environmental protection do
not allow building, e.g.
Intertidal area of Mill bay
(Carlingford lough) is part of
RAMSAR sites
Erosion: no information is
gathered or disseminated in
Northern Ireland; cliff edge
margins are typically 5-10m
Flooding: Flood maps are
compulsory (EU flood
directive) and the basis for
allocation of building permits
Management style: State is
responsible for protection

147. Institutional strategic adaptation tracks for KIL
• Reinforce rules and norms
• Interactions
– The most interactions:DoE,planning?remains sectoral => potentialofcoastal forum;
– The least interaction: community-basedactors
• Diversify actors implied:Increase connexionswith risk management, local actors
and public participation
– Low connections with some actors with specific assets at risk (civil security, roads,tourism)
– Low connections with community-based organizations
– UoUlster
• Diversify actions
– Other necessities than only urban promenades
• Complete EU directives and PPS with coastal erosion
– Actualize hazardmap => take into account overwash and interaction with dam mgt.
– Necessity to integrate coastalerosion in planning
• Create retroaction loops
– Followingchanges => coastal evolution
– Necessity to get a structure that can assess situtaiton from a multidisciplinary point of view
147

148. Limits and implications
• Amount of information: separate into 2 articles
– Integrated coastalvulnerability diagnosis:
• Part 1: methods for identifying local adaptation tracks for
coastal communities
• Part 2: the case of Kilkeel, Northern Ireland
– The idea is to create a portfolio of adaptations tracks
– Leaving the community to prioritize which tracks
(community-basedaccompaniement)
• Provides spatial-based and regional trends knowledge
(factual)
• Potential improvements in perceptions and institutional
context
• Need to build participation in order for the community to
feel ownership about the solutions
