تجارب و نتایج همکاری بین رشته ای: استفاده از اطلاعات کیفی برای تدوین اقدامات کاهش خطر فاجعه برای مناطق ساحلی

The authors found that qualitative data help to understand knowledge, values and behaviours of institutional and non-institutional stakeholders in formulating appropriate risk reduction measures to increase resilience in a local context – and that such data work “hand in hand” with quantitative information. Furthermore, the collection of qualitative data by researchers of the natural science and engineering disciplines has the potential to build bridges between disciplines and to stimulate further investigations, as in this case, to explain contradictions in human behaviour when managing risk.
