Book Description
La fréquence des évènements naturels, l'augmentation du coût de la sinistralité et les conséquences socio-économiques affectant les particuliers et leurs biens sont autant d'indicateurs qui amènent les pouvoirs publics et la profession de l'assurance à s'orienter vers une meilleure connaissance de la vulnérabilité de l'habitat face au risque inondation ceci dans un contexte où la politique publique de prévention est en évolution. De par leur appartenance aux valeurs de l'économie sociale, les Mutuelles d'Assurance Niortaises, accompagnées des Collectivités Territoriales ont chargé un centre de recherche appliquée à la prévention des risques à la personne, CALYXIS, d'une étude prospective sur cette problématique.Cette thèse présente la démarche de conception d'un outil d'évaluation et s'interroge sur les modalités de déploiement et d'appropriation de ce dernier. La démarche présentée se positionne selon une " approche horizontale " du point de vue de la sphère publique et de la sphère privée et vise à répondre aux besoins de l'intérêt général en responsabilisant les particuliers à la prévention et en favorisant une " approche verticale ". Elle repose sur une méthode de conception d'un autodiagnostic permettant l'identification, la qualification et la réduction des vulnérabilités de l'habitat des particuliers aux inondations. Sur la base d'un apport de connaissances scientifiques et techniques d'experts en assurance complété d'enquêtes de terrain et d'une étude expérimentale des dossiers sinistres inondation CatNat, le travail de modélisation de notre objet d'étude a abouti à un inventaire de facteurs " intrinsèques " et " extrinsèques " pouvant aggraver ou diminuer les dommages à l'échelle micro-économique. La variabilité de ces indicateurs aide à établir des profils de vulnérabilité pour lesquels nous définissons des plans d'actions. Cette démarche doit renforcer d'une part, le positionnement du particulier dans la gestion du risque inondation et d'autre part le positionnement des pouvoirs publics et de la profession de l'assurance dans leur intégration de nouvelles connaissances et leur participation à l'orientation des changements en cours.

Book Description
Résumé de Réduire la vulnérabilité de l’habitat individuel... : La fréquence des événements qualifiés de catastrophes naturelles, l’augmentation du coût de la sinistralité et les conséquences socio-économiques affectant les particuliers et leurs biens sont autant d’indicateurs qui amènent les pouvoirs publics et la profession de l’assurance à s’orienter vers une meilleure connaissance de la vulnérabilité de l’habitat individuel face au risque inondation et ceci dans un contexte où la politique publique de prévention est en évolution. Réduire la vulnérabilité de l’habitat individuel face à l’inondation présente la démarche de conception d’un outil d’autodiagnostic mettant le particulier en situation d’identifier et de réduire les vulnérabilités de son habitat aux inondations. L’objectif de cette démarche est de renforcer d’une part, le positionnement du particulier dans la gestion du risque inondation et, d’autre part, le positionnement des pouvoirs publics et de la profession de l’assurance dans leur intégration de nouvelles connaissances et leur participation à l’orientation des changements en cours. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux gestionnaires du risque inondation aux niveaux national et local, aux professionnels de l’assurance, aux professionnels de la prévention des risques, mais aussi à toute personne concernée par le risque inondation.

Book Description
The European DayWater project has developed a prototype of an Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) related to urban stormwater pollution source control. The DayWater ADSS greatly facilitates decision-making for stormwater source control, which is currently impeded by the large number of stakeholders involved and by the necessary multidisciplinary knowledge. This book presents the results of this project, providing new insights into both technical and management issues. The main objectives of its technical chapters are pollution source control modelling, risk and impact assessment, and evaluation and comparison of best management practices. It also covers management aspects, such as the analysis of the decision-making processes in stormwater source control, at a European scale, and stormwater management strategies in general. The combination of scientific-technical and socio-managerial knowledge, with the strong cooperation of numerous end-users, reflects the innovative character of this book which includes actual applications of the ADSS prototype in significant case studies. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management contains 26 chapters collectively prepared by DayWater scientific partners and end-users associated with this European Research and Development project. It includes: A general presentation of the DayWater Adaptive Decision Support System (ADSS) structure and operation modes A detailed description of the major components of this ADSS prototype The assessment of its components in significant case studies in France, Germany and Sweden The proceedings of the International Conference on Decision Support Systems for Integrated Urban Water Management, held in Paris on 3-4 November 2005. The book presents the ADSS prototype including a combination of freely accessible on-line databases, guidance documents, “road maps” and modelling or multi-criteria analysis tools. As demonstrated in several significant case studies the challenge for stormwater managers is to make the benefits of urban stormwater management visible to society, resulting in active co-operation of a diversity of stakeholders. Only then, will sustainable management succeed. DayWater: an Adaptive Decision Support System for Urban Stormwater Management advances this cause of sustainable urban management through Urban stormwater management, and makes achievable (by means of risk and vulnerability tools which are included) the goal of integrated urban water management (IUWM).

Book Description
Increasingly, cracks are appearing in the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes to provide the goods and services that sustain our planet's well-being. The response from most quarters has been for "more of the same" that created the situation in the first place: more control, more intensification, and greater efficiency. "Resilience thinking" offers a different way of understanding the world and a new approach to managing resources. It embraces human and natural systems as complex entities continually adapting through cycles of change, and seeks to understand the qualities of a system that must be maintained or enhanced in order to achieve sustainability. It explains why greater efficiency by itself cannot solve resource problems and offers a constructive alternative that opens up options rather than closing them down. In Resilience Thinking, scientist Brian Walker and science writer David Salt present an accessible introduction to the emerging paradigm of resilience. The book arose out of appeals from colleagues in science and industry for a plainly written account of what resilience is all about and how a resilience approach differs from current practices. Rather than complicated theory, the book offers a conceptual overview along with five case studies of resilience thinking in the real world. It is an engaging and important work for anyone interested in managing risk in a complex world.

Book Description
"We have to adapt to the impacts that, unfortunately, we can no longer avoid", said President Obama at the UN Climate Summit in September 2014. Adaptation and resilience are now a must in both academic research and international bodies. A fashionable concept, resilience's polysemy sparks many debates on its uses and operational relevance. This book bridges the increasing divide between academic research and the latest planning innovations, offering practical and conceptual insights for practitioners, researchers and students. Magali Reghezza-Zitt and Samuel Rufat present a cross-disciplinary, state-of-the-art debate and critical analysis of the social, spatial, practical and political implications of resilience. Offers a critical approach of resilience, based on a wide range of case studies Provides insights ranging from the most recent theoretical issues to the most practical engineering innovations Links the latest cross-disciplinary academic insights with the up-to-date, practical innovations
