Opis

This dissertation introduces the Coupled fLood-Agent-Institution Modelling framework (CLAIM) that allows building holistic models for flood risk management (FRM). The two models are dynamically coupled to understand human-flood interactions and to investigate the effect of institutions on FRM policy analysis and decision making.
