The role of socio-political parameters and of knowledge in the management of hydrological risks
Luzius Thomi's PhD thesis was written within the framework of the project "Impacts of floods in Switerland" (COST C19 Action - Proactive crisis management of urban infrastructure). Research has focused on the impact of socio-political parameters and of knowledge in the management of hydrological risks. Aside to a deep theoretical synthesis, the research was organised around three case studies: Saillon flood (2000), several floods of the river Aare in Berne, and the case of dyke corporations in the canton of Berne.
