韩国首尔洪水风险管理的参与式风险治理
Bokjin Ro & Gregg Garfin
摘要：
风险治理是自然和社会风险管理研究中广泛使用的一个框架。城市地区的自然灾害风险要求建立严格的参与式城市风险治理框架。本文研究了韩国首尔洪水风险管理（FRM）的参与式风险治理（PRG）。研究者对关键信息提供者进行了访谈，并对市民进行了调查，以探讨他们对洪水风险和风险管理的看法，并研究改善首尔参与式风险治理的前景。研究发现，关键信息提供者和市民的认知之间存在差距。关键信息提供者认为，市民对洪水风险的认识不足阻碍了PRG的实施。然而，本文研究发现，市民的风险意识并不低，风险意识可能并不是参与PRG的主要障碍。相反的，本研究发现公民缺乏对洪灾风险管理行动的了解，与公民自己承担的责任相比，他们赋予政府机构更多的洪灾风险管理责任。此外，参与FRM的各方往往互不信任，这意味着缺乏相互理解。为了提高PRG的有效性，本文建议建立一个多中心治理结构，由一个领导小组负责，并积极促进多层次治理参与者的参与。政府和公民参与者之间的沟通，旨在促进对彼此的角色和对FRM所做贡献的理解和认可，这将增强相互间信任并改善PRG在首尔的实施。

Participatory Risk Governance for Seoul, South Korea’s Flood Risk Management
Bokjin Ro & Gregg Garfin
Abstract：
Risk governance is a widely used framework in natural and societal risk management research. Risks from natural hazards in urban areas call for the establishment of rigorous and participatory urban risk governance. In this study, we examined participatory risk governance (PRG) of flood risk management (FRM) in Seoul, South Korea. We conducted key informant interviews and implemented a survey with citizens, to explore perceptions of flood risks and risk management, and to examine prospects for improving PRG in Seoul. We found a gap between the perceptions of key informants and citizens. Key informants believed that citizens’ low awareness of flood risks hinders PRG. Yet our research found that citizens’ risk awareness was not low, and risk awareness may not be the main barrier to participation in PRG. Instead, we found that citizens lacked knowledge of FRM actions, and they assigned government bodies a high level of responsibility for FRM, compared to the level of responsibility that citizens assigned to themselves. Moreover, the actors involved in FRM tended not to trust each other, which implies a lack of mutual understanding. To increase the effectiveness of PRG, we suggest a polycentric governance structure anchored by a leading actor group, and active promotion of the participation of actors at multiple levels of governance. Communication between government and citizen participants, designed to foster improved understanding and recognition of one another’s roles and contributions to FRM, will enhance trust and improve the implementation of PRG in Seoul.
