and manage risks to water supplies, water-
works, and floodplains; annual global invest-
ment in water infrastructure exceeds
U.S.$500 billion (1).
The stationarity assumption has long
been compromised by human disturbances
in river basins. Flood risk, water supply, and
water quality are affected by water infra-
structure, channel modifications

of action against all others,
and to show the difference in importance between paired factors.
Although this does not directly provide weighting factors, the
analysis is specifically designed to compare apples and oranges.
Additionally, a number of rakingmethods can help. By regarding the
arrows as interval variables, scoring the data points will provide the
order of data as well as the precise

capacity of the governmental authorities to communicate this information to the people and location
of the inhabitants. The risk perception together with the social economic development will lead to the
willingness to pay for the implementation of measures against floods which

1.3 Framework of the project
The 1973 Eldfell eruption crisis and citizen response on Heimaey provides a classic example
of the risks to, and mitigation actions that can be taken by, communities close to volcanoes.
The fissure was located only 200 m east of the town, whose infrastructure was significantly
harmed by the eruption. Over

and equipment, higher risks for large scale impact events (e.g. inundated tunnels),
as well as induced behavioral effects possibly entailing maladaptation12. According to a review
study of the Swedish Road Authority (Vägverket 2008) of all Nordic countries the Norwegian road
system seems to be the most exposed to different adverse impacts of climate change, whereas the

Province of China, the study undertakes to explore how households
would respond to future climate risks. The research’s innovation lies in its attempts to contribute to the
recent literature gap by digging into the motivations of households to take proactive measures against
probable future climate risks and their preferences for different livelihood activities against possible future
changes

assessment due to river floods is in the works. A part of the project has to do with residents assessment of flood risks and zoning-plans for flood areas. The project is largely a doctoral project, in co-operation between the University of Iceland and the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
Analysis of flood risks is done in geographical information systems and temporary conclusions show that flow data
