Designing an instrument to measure attitudes toward flood risk management in riverside populations

Addressing flood risk management (FRM) from an integrated and multidimensional perspective is crucial for effective flood management. Several studies advocate involving the affected populations in the decisions on the implementation of FRM measures, but only a few focus on systematicallyanalyzing th...

From a psycho-environmental approach, the main objective of this study was to design an instrument, a Likert-type attitude scale, to assess the attitudes of riverside population toward flood mitigation measures (FMMs). First, we obtaineda dataset of the FMMs based on the discourses of 24 stakeholders. Forty FMMs were identified using the focus group and content analysis method; and refined by flood risk-assessment experts. Second, the FMMs were tested in the general population (N = 111) using a questionnaire survey. The data analysis revealed the 15 most valid FMMs for general population, constituting to the pilot attitude scale.
