洪灾是所有自然灾害中最常见、破坏性最大的一种。几十年来，专家们一直在研究如何减轻洪水损失。与其他风险领域一样，洪水风险管理中的风险感知和风险传播的研究也越来越受到人们的关注。由于这一研究的增长，人们认为有必要对该领域的最新技术进行审查。这篇综述包括57篇基于经验的同行评审文章，这些文章来自科学网和Scope us数据库，涉及洪水风险感知和交流。这些文章的特点列在一个综合的表格中，介绍了研究设计、研究变量和主要发现。从这篇综述中可以得出结论，大多数研究都是探索性的，并没有应用社会科学研究中的任何理论框架。因此，在衡量和分析人们的洪水风险感知及其适应行为方面几乎没有一个方法论标准化。这种异质性导致了在不同研究之间比较结果的困难。同时，洪水风险沟通的理论和实证研究也几乎是空白。文章最后对洪水风险感知和洪水风险沟通领域的方法论问题进行了总结，并提出了未来研究的议程。
Flood hazards are the most common and destructive of all natural disasters. For decades, experts have been examining how flood losses can be mitigated. Just as in other risk domains, the study of risk perception and risk communication has gained increasing interest in flood risk management. Because of this research growth, a review of the state of the art in this domain is believed necessary. The review comprises 57 empirically based peer-reviewed articles on flood risk perception and communication from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The characteristics of these articles are listed in a comprehensive table, presenting research design, research variables, and key findings. From this review, it follows that the majority of studies are of exploratory nature and have not applied any of the theoretical frameworks that are available in social science research. Consequently, a methodological standardization in measuring and analyzing people's flood risk perceptions and their adaptive behaviors is hardly present. This heterogeneity leads to difficulties in comparing results among studies. It is also shown that theoretical and empirical studies on flood risk communication are nearly nonexistent. The article concludes with a summary on methodological issues in the fields of flood-risk perception and flood-risk communication and proposes an agenda for future research.
