Ramsbottom, D. (author)The purpose of this report is to identify messages from the FLOODsite pilot studies that might be helpful to Policy makers who are responsible for the implementation of the EC Floods Directive. The main requirement identified in this review is the need to develop guidance for methods to implement the Floods Directive based on the results of the...report 2009

Jongbloed, G. (author), Van der Meulen, F.H. (author)We consider two nonparametric procedures for estimating a concave distribution function based on data corrupted with additive noise generated by a bounded decreasing density on (0, ?). For the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator and least squares (LS) estimator, we state qualitative properties, prove consistency and propose a computational...journal article 2009

Eijgenraam, C.J.J. (author)De vraag is gerezen of de toetsnorm voor waterveiligheid goed wordt bepaald als er geen rekening wordt gehouden met de mogelijkheid dat de schade bij overstromen afhangt van de waterhoogte bij overstromen of de kans op die overstroming. Het achterliggend idee is: Hoe extremer de gebeurtenis, des te groter is de overstroming en de daaruit...report 2009

Priest, S. (author)A methodology has been developed to estimate loss of life from flood events. In order to reduce the risk to life it is necessary to understand the causes of loss of life in floods and what kind of intervention and flood risk management measures may be effective in eliminating or reducing these losses. Data on flood events were gathered from 25...report 2009

Meyer, V. (author)In this report we develop a GIS-based multicriteria flood risk assessment and mapping approach. This approach has the ability a) to consider also flood risks which are not measured in monetary terms, b) to show the spatial distribution of these multiple risks and c) to deal with uncertainties in criteria values and to show their influence on the...report 2009

Steinführer, A. (author)The paper draws lessons from our empirical investigations in Germany, Italy and England/Wales in a very specific perspective: It formulates recommendations for flood risk management with people at risk. Thus it tries to shed light on the views of this important but often neglected group of stakeholders. Our addressees are flood risk...report 2009

Fijnvandraat, M.L. (author)Several market studies have indicated that the roll-out of broadband has significant economic and social relevance. The investments in broadband infrastructures needed to realise these economic and social benefits are, however, high-risk. This is firstly caused by the fact that the roll-out of access networks is extremely costly and requires...doctoral thesis 2009

Scheltens, A (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author), Koppels, P.W. (author)Much of our industrial heritage lost its function in the transition from an industrial to a more service-based economy. Meantime, changing consumer preferences have shortened the functional and economic life cycle of buildings to such an extent that many have become vacant and obsolete. Developers tend to prefer to demolish such buildings and...conference paper 2009

Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Traditional methods to evaluate flood risk mostly focus on storm events as the main cause of flooding. Fault tree analysis is a technique that is able to model all potential causes of flooding and to quantify both the overall probability of flooding and the contributions of all causes of flooding to the overall flood probability. This paper...conference paper 2008

Gehner, E. (author)Knowingly taking risk is essential to the success of the real estate development business. Investing in real estate development projects, which are characterised by complexity and uncertainty, implies that high risks are taken. Interestingly, little is known about how real estate development organisations have incorporated the skills and...doctoral thesis 2008

Long-term strategies for flood risk management: Scenario definition and strategic alternative designde Bruijn, K.; Klijn, F.;McGahey, C.; Mens, M.; Wolfer, H. (author)Flood risk management requires policy making for a relatively far and largely unknown future. Task 14 of Theme 2 in FLOODsite aims to provide methodological guidance on how to perform the design/development of long term strategic alternatives for flood risk management and how to assess their performance in different future scenarios. To begin...report 2008

Hoffmann, S. (author)Risk awareness and personal preparedness are seen to be important parameters in an integrated risk management scheme today. This study is contributing to the knowledge base about the perception of risk. Regarding the risk of storm-surges, an assessment of the perception and the status of personal preparedness of the people are addressed in an...report 2008

(author)A risk-based safety approach is indispensable to support decision-making on flood protection strategies and measures. Hitherto the effects of river system behaviour on flood risk have usually been neglected. River system behaviour refers to the fact that the flood risk (or safety) of a particular area may depend on the safety of other adjoining...conference paper 2008

Kramer, B. (author)Papers workshops. In recent years, Dutch housing associations have introduced a number of innovative types of sale, having in common that a house is sold to the tenant at a discount. In this way, buying a house becomes affordable for lower-income households. On the other hand the housing association obtains cash, which can be used for (social)...conference paper 2008

Penailillo, B.R. (author), Morales, Y. (author), Meijers, E. (author)On 31 July the company Chimac-Agriphar from Ougrée discharged 64 kilo chlorpyrifos and 12 kilo cypermethrin into the River Meuse, imposing risks to recreation (swimming and fishing), ecology (about 20 to 25 ton fish were killed) and drinking water production. In this study a retrospective risk analysis of this accidental spill was done in order...report 2008
