This project explores the importance of the early periods following major crises for determining longer-term responses to national policy issues. It does so in order to understand the possibilities at such times for embedding robust, long-term responses to relevant social problems. The research focuses on the major floods which hit the UK during the winter of 2013/14, taking the Somerset Levels and Moors as a case study for examining governance processes and their outcomes in the aftermath of crises. The prolonged nature of these recent floods within Somerset has brought high levels of political, media and wider public attention. There is evidence of conflicting positions and viewpoints on the causes of the floods and the most socially, environmentally and economically appropriate response measures across various stakeholders and flood affected publics. The research will examine this dynamic and evolving context of solution and problem framing in order to build understanding of the immediate aftermath of floods as a key period in which policy change happens and particular solutions emerge. The primary objective will be to show how this initial period of response impacts on the kinds of policy solutions that are put forward and subsequently delivered over the longer term. Our research will be guided by these specific research questions: 1) Do the periods following major national crises offer potential for initiating change in policy and response approaches to floods? 2) What framings are identifiable across the wide range of actors affected by and involved with the 2013/14 floods and how are they linked to specific solutions and outcomes? 3) Which framings dominate or become marginalised over time and with what implications for longer-term responses? 4) How are longer-term issues such as land use, agricultural policy, climate change adaptation and sustainability, incorporated and addressed? The project will use innovative qualitative and quantitative methods to look in-depth at the perspectives and experiences of those that have been directly affected by flooding and those in positions of responsibility for responding and managing floods. Using repeat interviews and a locally representative survey instrument, as well as visual methodologies (i.e. photo-elicitation), the project will generate a rich data set that will be used to interrogate the important questions about governance in periods after crises that the research addresses. The lessons learned from this case study will inform the processes of policy-making as they unfold and contribute to the development of robust, long-term responses to floods that are attuned to the values, perspectives and world views of the different social actors affected.

本项目探讨重大危机后的早期阶段对于确定国家政策问题的长期对策的重要性。这样做是为了了解在这种时候对相关社会问题采取强有力的长期对策的可能性。该研究的重点是2013/14年冬季袭击英国的重大洪水，以萨默塞特水平和摩尔为案例研究，研究危机后的治理过程及其结果。最近萨默塞特发生的这些洪水的长期性质引起了政界、媒体和更广泛公众的高度关注。有证据表明，各利益攸关方和受洪水影响的公众对洪水的原因以及最适合社会、环境和经济的应对措施的立场和观点存在冲突。该研究将研究解决方案和问题框架的动态和不断变化的背景，以建立对洪水后立即发生的理解，作为政策变化和特定解决方案出现的关键时期。主要目标将是表明这一初期应对措施如何影响所提出的以及随后在较长时期内交付的各种政策解决办法。我们的研究将以这些具体的研究问题为指导：1）重大国家危机之后的时期是否有可能引发洪水政策和应对方法的变化？ 2)在受2013/14年洪灾影响和参与洪灾的广泛行为体中，可以确定哪些框架，这些框架如何与具体解决方案和成果联系起来？3)随着时间的推移，哪些框架占主导地位或被边缘化，对长期反应有什么影响？4)土地使用、农业政策、气候变化适应和可持续性等长期问题如何纳入和解决？该项目将采用创新的定性和定量方法，深入研究直接受洪水影响者和负责应对和管理洪水者的观点和经验。该项目将利用重复访谈和具有地方代表性的调查工具，以及视觉方法（即照片启发），产生一套丰富的数据，用于调查研究所涉及的危机后时期治理方面的重要问题。从这一案例研究中吸取的经验教训将为决策过程提供信息，并有助于制定与受影响的不同社会行为者的价值观、观点和世界观相一致的强有力的长期应对洪灾的措施。
