What shapes flood risk perceptions? Comparing public perceptions with Fema flood hazard maps in the U.S
Flooding remains one of the most damaging natural hazards, underscoring the need for a better understanding of public perceptions of flood risk to support preparedness and mitigation. This study compares risk perceptions from a national online survey of 918 respondents with FEMA flood maps. We define the risk perception gap as the difference between respondents' perceived flood risk and FEMA’s flood zone classifications, and we examine its driver…
Survey‐based study of public perceptions and preferences for mitigating flood risk via nature‐based solutions in the United States
Nature‐based solutions (NbS), such as reconnecting floodplains and restoring riparian wetlands, can reduce flood risk as well as provide benefits like carbon storage, habitat support, and recreation. However, wetlands and floodplains are increasingly replaced with urban development and flooding is primarily addressed with grey infrastructure solutions like dams and levees. We hypothesize that one barrier to implementation of NbS is the perception…

Addressing Perceived Apathy Through Engaged Learning in Crisis Communication
Recent outbreaks of A/H5N1 (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus/HPAIv) —commonly referred to as bird flu virus—have mutated and spread beyond poultry to also infect dairy cattle and humans. Despite warnings by crisis communication practitioners affiliated with the dairy industry, the response is widely criticized as underwhelming and apathetic. This study proposes engaged learning as an instructional risk and crisis co strategy for overcoming…
Green Environments and Healthy Aging
Health professionals have slowly integrated the environment and green areas into their prescriptions to connect patients with nature and outdoor activities. The World Health Organization recommends that everyone reside within 300 m of green regions to improve well-being and physical and mental health. The study aimed to explore the effects of urban and rural green areas on multiple physiological and functional variables, as well as evaluate the p…
Goiânia, Fantasmagoria Da Metrópole Moderna
This paper aims to discuss the development of the history of the city of Goiânia from a Walter Benjamin reading.With this theoretical premise I seek to discuss how the modernity perspective was historically unfolded in the capital of the state of Goiás.Another proposition of this study is to understand the current urban dynamics of Goiania as a direct result of the modernity project since its beginnings.In order to do that, I discourse about how …
The Welfare Costs of Crime and Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean
The aim of this volume is to carry out a systematic and rigorous analysis of the costs of crime and violence in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on methodological and conceptual issues that are key to an exhaustive understanding of their economic and social dimensions. It presents an economic model of crime that conceptualizes the impact of violence on welfare. In addition, this volume is the first of its kind to provide estimates of…
Rent Seeking and the Unveiling of 'De Facto' Institutions
This paper analyzes the roots of variation in de facto institutions, within a constant de jure institutional setting.We explore the role of rent-seeking episodes in colonial Brazil as determinants of the quality of current local institutions, and argue that this variation reveals a de facto dimension of institutional quality.We show that municipalities with origins tracing back to the sugar-cane colonial cycle --characterized by a polarized and o…
