Factors Influencing Flood Risk Management Integration in U.S. Municipal Planning: A social science research project

This project has two missions, each pertaining to a different stage of a mental model research project. The first mission consists of the IRB documentation, interview instruments, and curated transcripts used to create an expert mental model. The expert mental model documents support the research used to achieve the following objectives for the project: identify factors influencing flood risk management integration, assess the interplay of influences, explore diverse planner perspectives, and expand the understanding of flood risk management decision-making. These documents and the results of this portion of the research project supported the development of the documents in the second mission. The second mission consists of amended IRB documentation, interview instruments, and curated transcripts used to apply and amend the expert mental model through a Providence, Rhode Island case study. This work is ongoing, and this mission will be published once it is completed.

本项目包含两项任务，分别对应心智模型（mental model）研究项目的不同阶段。第一项任务涵盖用于构建专家心智模型的机构审查委员会（Institutional Review Board, IRB）备案文件、访谈工具与经整理的访谈转录稿。该专家心智模型相关文件支撑本项目实现以下研究目标：明确影响洪水风险管理整合的各类因素，评估各类影响因素间的相互作用，探索不同规划从业者的多元视角，并深化对洪水风险管理决策逻辑的认知。上述文件及本任务阶段的研究成果，为第二项任务的文档开发提供了支撑。第二项任务涵盖经修订的机构审查委员会备案文件、访谈工具与经整理的访谈转录稿，旨在通过罗德岛州普罗维登斯市的案例研究对专家心智模型进行应用与修订。本项工作目前仍在推进中，待该任务完成后将正式发表相关研究成果。
