Paper: Multidimensional resilience – flood recovery on private land
Title: Multidimensional resilience – flood recovery on private land Abstract: Flood damages are increasing and thus flood resilience is gaining importance. Various definitions of resilience and the identification of different resilience dimensions have been the focus of past research, but there is a lack of understanding how these dimensions systemically interrelate. Using an exploratory research design, […]

Paper: Reducing flood risk by effective use of flood-peak polders: A case study of the Tisza River
Title: Reducing flood risk by effective use of flood-peak polders: A case study of the Tisza River Abstract Between 1998 and 2006 a series of extreme flood events took place on the Tisza River and its tributaries. In Hungary, this triggered the development of flood-peak polders as a more cost-efficient solution of defense compared to raising […]
