in the discussion of national adaptation strategies (cf. Swartz et al. 2009; Biesbroek et al.
2010). Arguing that until then these developments had ‘only been assessed in a superficial
manner’ (Biesbroek et al. 2010, p. 441), one recent set of studies has analysed the
development and content of national adaptation strategies to draw lessons on the emergence
of adaptation (Swart et al 2009

o Physical capacity (disproportional spending of money in different sectors regarding risks
acceptance)
o Building of mutual understanding (politicians and technicians, and local citizens)
o Raise acceptance of risk and uncertainty (no 100% garantie)

and perceived fairness were important for the acceptability of increased tax on fuel, while freedom aspects and problem awareness
were of importance for the acceptability of improved public transport. Because acceptability often is important for the implementa-
tion of TDM measures, policy makers may draw on these results when attempting to increase

is that introducing an additional
method will yet draw out a process that is already very time-
consuming. This might undermine the feasibility of including Fuzzy
Cognitive Maps in a standard scenario exercise. A perhaps more
feasible option when time is limited, is to completely substitute full
quantitative models with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. Although it will
strongly depend on the importance

to hydrological modelling and flood frequency anal-
ysis with uncertainties included in every step. Thus the cumulative
uncertainties from the whole model chain may become so large
that conclusions about development of extreme floods are very dif-
ficult to draw (Menzel et al., 2006).
The Floods Directive (European commission, 2007) instructs the
EU member states to perform preliminary flood risk assessments

and conflict-resolution theory we
draw upon and use for our data interpretation are
the modes derived from Thomas (1976), Fisher and
Ury (1981), and Lewicki et al. (2001). These include
the collaborative (integrative), distributive (competing),
compromising (sharing), accommodating (appeasing),
and avoiding (neglect) modes, which are based on
the interaction of the level of importance and energy
