Knowing better and losing even more: the use of knowledge in
hazard management. .
Why? This the starting point of the project
Failure in land
use and urban
planning
Increase in
exposed
population
(demographic
trend), assets,
goods
Process of
urbanization, the
majority of human
population living in
urban areas
Climate
change and
related
hazards
Prof.

What are the underlying reasons for failures and blockages?
Failure in land
use and urban
planning
Poverty, marginal
areas are
occupied in
dangerous zones
Obstacles to climate
change mitigation
and adaptation
Poor emergency
planning and
preparedness
Lack of
competence of
some decision
makers on risk
issues (urban
planners)
Economic value
of hazardous
location, private
interest in
developing Failure of
coordination
among different
agencies and
governmental
levels Knowledge
and learning

What can we do to enable knowledge and learning in our project?
What has been done insofar?
Create opportunities
for knoweldge
exchange and sharing
in workshops and
seminars
Knowledge
and learning
Analyse the flow of
knowledge and
information across
stakeholders in
different case studies
Constructing
opportunities for
testing and developing
knoweldge together
with stakeholders in
Living Labs
Conceptualizing a
Knowledge
Mnagement System Developing advanced
communication tools for
selected audiences
Agreeing on how
interdisciplinarity can be
implemented to construct
problem framing

In a very relevant study that has been developed by one of the guests in Madrid, made for CIMA
Foundation and the Italian Civil Protection it is suggested that a much stronger knowledge
exchange should occur also with judges and lawyers to make them aware about the high levels of
uncertainty (in particular the scientific uncertainty) in order to better assess responsibilities of
public servants dealing with sometimes very hard decision making

Real life laboratories: cases where we are actively interacting and involved in decision
making processes and can suggest to test ongoing developments and results of the
Know-4-drr project.
Living Lab
Living labs are constituted by case studies that provide a unique opportunity to
interact with stakeholders on the topics brought by the project. The do not serve
as observational arenas, but permit a much stronger involvement of project
partners in given activities to be agreed upon with institutional stakeholders.
Thanks to the special links that some of the partners have established with
stakeholders of the living labs, it will be possible to experiment some tools and
methods that will be proposed by KNOW-4-DRR.
The living labs will provide material for in depth analysis and representation of
how enhanced exchange and co-production of knowledge across some or all of
the social groups may occur or is hampered in different contexts. The cases
consist of a well balanced sample of different scales at which decisions are
made (national, interregional, and local) and where therefore different
stakeholders from all social groups considered in the knowledge management
framework are involved. Three living labs will be carried out during the
project: the Vietnam case, the Po Riverbasin case in Italy, and the Lorca
Municipality case in Spain. Learn more about these living labs in the following
boxes.

The surveys, community meetings and workshops held since august 2013 until October
2014 in the provinces of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Binh track and discuss the evolution
of communication, communication channels and the efficiency /inefficiency of
information transfer and the development of knowledge for disaster risk reduction and
in recent years, for a better understanding of the ways one can interact/act on climate change
and adaptation to climate change. What? How? DIKW Pyramid
Legislation changes
New laws & revised codes reflect changing risk environment & the recognition of the need to adapt to coastal risks, realities and vulnerability
Better information > new knowledge; Lessons being learned > wisdom feeds back to improve information
Information delivery
Increased use of TV provides hazard warning information + films on safer houses; Mobile phone messages also used; But, locally, loudspeakers & visits still important
More varied delivery: Information delivery precision improves > helps build knowledge Traditional knowledge > wisdom in doubt!
Capacity building
Various forms of training and information provision, addressing :
Technical skills (national/provincial);
Financial services (new safe house loans package);
Flood & storm control committees : test internet & real time weather data;
Local builders & leaders: fast 1 day safer house theory + practice training;
Publications national & provincial: (“Atlas of house vulnerability & strengthening”) + handbooks
Information provided > generates knowledge through seeing & doing:
In formal training
In collaborative work experience
Awareness raising campaigns
Simple messages (e.g. prevent typhoon damage);
Engage local/non local artists + actors & children;
Use/develop a variety of local, traditional, theatre & concert based communication to deliver messages (ex. Film by child actors: “the stubborn builder” http://www.dwf.org/en/media-gallery/detail/1326/1996
Cartoon strips; mobile street displays
Crowd pulling events (sport etc.)
Clearer Information delivered; impact studies indicate this leads to knowledge followed by action Uncertain impact Large audiences/some generate memorable knowledge
Awareness & application
Provinces/Commune know that preventive strengthening is viable
Poor families see, experience & believe that safer houses are possible
Knowledge; Knowledge > some wisdom
Families borrow to strengthen (targeted loans); but lack of budget a brake
Convinced families strengthen house spontaneously
Knowledge, leads to action & some wisdom (experience)
Commune/Province & GOVT acceptance - shift from ridicule to conviction.
Knowledge
Early warning
Alerts achieve improved precision and delivery; but message not always understood; but door to door visits still important
Better information, at local level not always producing knowledge

The Po Riverbasin Authority is organising a series of meeting called «public
participation forum», the last one being open to all universities wishing to
collaborate in idenitifying key issues for the Flood Risk Management Plan. We are
working with them to improve the risk assessment
methodologies that have been used for the deadline
of 2013.
Prof.

Know-4-drr
In the Umbria living lab we are working together with the Regional Civil
Protection to develop tools for post-flood damage assessment, integrating
compensation and risk assessment needs, with the aim of advancing in
accountability and prioritirization of recovery and reconstruction

With the Knowledge Management framework we wish to understand how some of
the knowledge that is developed in the living labs can be made shared, and open
to further developments by other stakeholders perhaps in other fields..

Conceptual level Implementation level Knowledge sharing
E-R diagrams, Tagging Information and
Ontologies to be defined through
experts and stakeholders
consultation but also to be enriched
Labelling documents, maps, making
explicit their semantic level
Knolwedge that is available in different
forms, pdf, maps, word, any type of
document, writen, visual, different
Experts in the domain, not just
scientists
Stakeholders, all actors relevant in
the case study at stake, in the living
lab
Final users (also those who are not
familiar with the case studies who
wishes to share the information and
the knowledge
Moving from questions to ideas and suggestions regarding how such KMF should look like and
to what extent we can demonstrate its utility in living labs…
