Abstract

PurposeDespite the present focus on improving the resilience of homes to flooding in UK flood risk management policy and strategy, a general measurement framework for determining levels of flood resilience in UK homes does not exist. In light of this, the aim of this study was to develop a means to evaluate the levels of resilience in flood-prone homes from the perspective of homeowners'.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research methodology was employed, with empirical data obtained through a postal survey of homeowners who had experienced flooding. The responses received were then analysed using a combination of statistical techniques including agreement/reliability tests and multiple regression to develop a model of flood resilience.FindingsA predictive model was developed that allows the resilience of a property to be quantified and measured as perceived by homeowners. The findings indicate that the main factors found to influence the level of flood resilience were: property type (PT), presence of cellar/basement (C/B), property wall type (PWT), property ground floor type (PGFT), kitchen unit type (KU), flood experience (FE), flood source (FS) and flood risk level (FRL).Practical implicationsThe resulting model provides unique insights into resilience levels to the benefit of a range of stakeholders including policy makers (such as Defra/Environment Agency), Local Authority flood teams, property professionals, housing associations and homeowners. As a result, homeowners will be in a better position to determine which interventions should be prioritised to ensure better flood protection.Originality/valueThis is the first study of its kind to have rigorously quantified the level of flood resilience for individual homes. This study has quantified the effectiveness of individual resilience measures to derive the first reliable means to measure the overall levels of resilience at the individual property level. This is regarded as a significant contribution to the study of flood risk management through the quantification of resilience within individual UK homes, enabling the prioritisation of interventions and the overall monitoring of resilience.

测量英国家庭的财产洪水抵御能力(PFR)
目的尽管英国洪水风险管理政策和战略目前侧重于提高家庭对洪水的抵御能力,但目前还没有确定英国家庭洪水抵御能力水平的通用衡量框架。有鉴于此,本研究的目的是从房主的角度开发一种方法来评估易受洪水影响的房屋的抵御能力。设计/方法/方法采用定量研究方法,通过对经历过洪水的房主的邮政调查获得经验数据。然后,使用包括一致性/可靠性测试和多元回归在内的统计技术组合对收到的响应进行分析,以开发洪水恢复力模型。发现开发了一个预测模型,可以根据房主的感知来量化和衡量房产的弹性。研究结果表明,影响洪水抵御能力水平的主要因素有:物业类型(PT)、地下室/地下室(C/B)、物业墙壁类型(PWT)、物业底层类型(PGFT)、厨房单元类型(KU)、洪水经验(FE),洪水源(FS)和洪水风险水平(FRL)。实际含义由此产生的模型为一系列利益相关者提供了对恢复力水平的独特见解,包括政策制定者(如Defra/环境署)、地方当局洪水小组、房地产专业人员、住房协会和房主。因此,房主将能够更好地确定哪些干预措施应优先考虑,以确保更好的防洪。独创性/价值这是第一项严格量化单个家庭抗洪能力水平的同类研究。这项研究量化了个人韧性措施的有效性,从而得出了衡量个人财产层面整体韧性水平的第一个可靠方法。这被认为是对洪水风险管理研究的重大贡献,通过量化英国家庭的复原力,实现干预措施的优先顺序和复原力的全面监测。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation publishes findings on contemporary and original research towards sustaining, maintaining and managing existing buildings. The journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of buildings, their performance and adaptation in order to develop appropriate technical and management solutions. This requires an holistic understanding of the complex interactions between the materials, components, occupants, design and environment, demanding the application and development of methodologies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in this multidisciplinary area. With rapid technological developments, a changing climate and more extreme weather, coupled with developing societal demands, the challenges to the professions responsible are complex and varied; solutions need to be rigorously researched and tested to navigate the dynamic context in which today''s buildings are to be sustained. Within this context, the scope and coverage of the journal incorporates the following indicative topics: • Behavioural and human responses • Building defects and prognosis • Building adaptation and retrofit • Building conservation and restoration • Building Information Modelling (BIM) • Building and planning regulations and legislation • Building technology • Conflict avoidance, management and disputes resolution • Digital information and communication technologies • Education and training • Environmental performance • Energy management • Health, safety and welfare issues • Healthy enclosures • Innovations and innovative technologies • Law and practice of dilapidation • Maintenance and refurbishment • Materials testing • Policy formulation and development • Project management • Resilience • Structural considerations • Surveying methodologies and techniques • Sustainability and climate change • Valuation and financial investment
