Abstract:
The project extended over two years and covered both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The study was also the first attempt at a post project appraisal on the public perception of four of the York schemes. Differences in attitudes and perceptions were observed regarding flood experience, flood risk and satisfaction with schemes between respondents in the York and Thames Regions. Results indicate that the perception of the level of flood risk among York respondents has been reduced since the flood defences have been completed and that York respondents see the likelihood of future flooding lower (in some cases considerably lower) than respondents in some of the Thames Region studies, who remained unconvinced of a flood risk in their areas.
