Influence of hazard-related and cognitive factors of households’ flood risk perceptions in Kampala, Uganda
Understanding lay people’s flood risk perceptions has become an essential component of flood risk management especially with respect to ascertaining possible responses both to risk situations and to government actions. However, different contextual factors determine how they respond, and little has been done in the African urban context to study flood risk perception trends. Using data from 612 household questionnaires, this paper documents the h…
Factors influencing flood damage mitigation among micro and small businesses in Kampala, Uganda
With the trends of increasing flood risk due to climate change and rapid urbanisation in many parts of the world, property level mitigation efforts have become more relevant in flood risk management. However, the flood mitigation behaviour of business owners is an understudied aspect of risk reduction. This article employs the Protection Motivation Theory framework to identify critical factors that determine the flood damage mitigation behaviour …
Understanding flood risk perceptions and motivations for damage mitigation
Globally, the damage caused by floods is increasing because of rising urbanisation and climate change. In developing world cities, the impacts of these floods are wide-reaching because of high levels of vulnerability, unplanned development (usually in environmentally sensitive areas), and the weak enforcement of existing by-laws and planning standards by some local authorities. This is exacerbated by high poverty levels, with a big part of the po…
An extended briefing and debriefing technique to enhance data quality in cross-national/language mixed-method research
Mixed methods surveys using multilingual assistants in areas without clear pre-defined sampling units are often difficult to manage and unpredictable, thereby threatening data quality. More so when such surveys are executed in unfamiliar territories where cultural and language barriers prevent direct communication between the principal researcher and the respondents, and field assistants act as cultural/language brokers. This paper provides a met…
