The frequency and consequences of extreme flood events have
increased rapidly worldwide in recent decades and climate change
and economic growth are likely to exacerbate this trend. Flood
protection measures alone cannot accommodate the future frequencies
and impacts of flooding. Integrated flood risk management (IFRM)
considers a portfolio of measures to reduce flood risk that
comprise flood protection, but also land use planning and emergency
management. The implementation of IFRM policies and projects is not
straightforward and guidance is lacking. IFRM requires
collaboration between multiple disciplines; by a group of
stakeholders with various interests and means; to combine
objectives and funding from different policy domains; to consider a
range of possible options at all spatial scale levels and for
various time horizons. Moreover the overarching societal system and
its incumbent cultures, structures and practices are yet unfit for
IFRM. This dissertation provides guidance for IFRM: governance
arrangements for planning processes; for stimulating learning and
collaboration; for adaptation of the physical (natural and
man-made) and societal systems. It presents 4 appealing case
studies from the Netherlands. This work brings new insights to the
scientific domains of inter alia: flood risk management; adaptive
co-management; and transition management, particularly through
their mutual enrichment.
