Caging identified threats – Exploring pitfalls of state preparedness imagination
Preparedness is a vital, future-oriented condition for societies. The way in which a society becomes prepared depends on how the threat landscape, as well as the needs and means to respond to it, are perceived. A State's imagination plays a crucial role in perceiving the threat landscape and defining preparedness measures. This study focused on how this preparedness imagination works, and illustrated this through macro-documentary material on Fin…
Unthinkable is not un-educable
The increasing complexity of critical infrastructure subjects it to problems that are even more wicked, unexpected, and unthinkable than the ones faced before. Hence, the lessons that are drawn from the previous experiences and absorbed into preparedness schemes and planning may well become part of the problem rather than core elements in their effective resolution. This article scrutinizes the potential for the emergence of such a mismatch in th…
Transformation of Urban Water Service Provision
Rapid urbanization poses severe challenges to the water management of growing cities. Conventionally, the suitable way to solve problems has been to expand the capacity of existing centralized infrastructures. It is important to consider how resources of a city’s inner water cycle could be utilized more efficiently, and how the system of provision shapes the functional roles of the service, the ways of using it, and ultimately the consumption its…
Weak signals and wild cards in water and sanitation services – exploring an approach for water utilities
Weak signals and wild cards are used to scan the environment and make systems more sensitive to emerging changes. In this paper, the applicability of weak signals and wild cards is experimented in a case of a highly reliable and conservative sector, water and sanitation services. The aim is to explore an approach suitable for water utilities. The paper discusses different theoretical and methodological approaches to weak signals and wild cards, a…
Taking Water Services to the Next Level
Utility–Customer Communication
The aim of this article is to shed light on the theory and praxis of utility stakeholder communication. Our general research objective is to contrast citizens’ experiences of utility-specific information needs with the views of communication managers of municipal water utilities. Empirical data for the study were gathered using two methods. Citizens’ views were gathered from street interviews in several Finnish middle-sized cities, whereas the vi…
