title: Framing Resilience in Bangkok Flood Risk Management
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: none
abstract: Globally, the urbanized regions in developing countries are struggling to
anticipate and incorporate increasing flood risks due to rising impacts of
climate change in their urban management agendas. Consequentially,
resilience is increasingly being considered as a promising concept in
planning that emphasises the capacity to resist, absorb and adjust
continuously to changing flood risks. The aim of this paper is to
investigate how the urbanized regions in developing countries attempt to
adopt the resilience concept in their urban planning and flood risk
management policies. The central case study is Bangkok Resilience
Strategy. This paper adopts a framing approach to analyze how policy
framing guides resilience policy interventions in Bangkok’s urban
management. In Bangkok, the resilience concept is adopted as a broad
solution for a wide range of urban problems safeguarding urban activities
from flood and other disturbances. In this regard, Bangkok Resilience
Strategy highlights the economic competitiveness as the major desired
outcome from resilience building. Drawing on an evolutionary perspective
on resilience, this paper concludes that resilience policy adoption could be
used as an opportunity to continuously revaluate and readjust existing
planning approaches for addressing both physical and social vulnerabilities to floods.
