In contrast to traditional ?safety measures" that aim to provide protection against floods by building structural flood defenses such as levees and flood walls, the goal of spatial measures is to reduce the exposure to flood risks by changing the spatial layout of flood-prone areas. By limiting developments and flood-proofing buildings in areas at risk to flooding, investments in structural flood defenses can be circumvented and vulnerabilities reduce. World-wide, spatial measures are gaining attractiveness as a response strategy to increasing flood risks caused by climate change and urbanization. The introduction of spatial measures in flood governance involves more than the simple development of new policies and laws. Research has demonstrated that the implementation of spatial measures can have huge implications for how costs and responsibilities are divided between different levels of governance and between public and private actors, changing the whole organization behind flood governance. Both for the effectiveness and for the legitimacy of spatial flood governance strategies, it is important that these distributive implications are well understood. This book describes the introduction of spatial measures in the context of two very different delta countries: the Netherlands and the United States. In the United States, a spatial flood governance strategy was already developed in de mid-20th century whereas in the Netherlands, a safety paradigm institutionalized over the course of the 20th century and spatial measures have only recently been introduced. By analyzing the science-policy interactions underlying the implementation of spatial measures in both countries, this book shows how under the influence of different types of experts (engineers in the Netherlands and social geographers in the United States) different spatial flood management strategies emerged with different distributive implications, each with its own challenges for effectiveness and legitimacy. . 410 0$aWater Governance - Concepts, Methods, and Practice,$x2365-4961 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aRisk management 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aRisk Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/612040 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aRisk management. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 14$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aRisk Management. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 676 $a344.046 676 $a363.70561 700 $aBergsma$b Emmy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937016 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337899303321 996 $aFrom Flood Safety to Spatial Management$92110381 997 $aUNINA
