dc.description.abstract |
Ho Chi Minh City faces significant and
growing flood risk. Recent risk reduction efforts may be
insufficient as climate and socio-economic conditions
diverge from projections made when those efforts were
initially planned. This study demonstrates how robust
decision making can help Ho Chi Minh City develop integrated
flood risk management strategies in the face of such deep
uncertainty. Robust decision making is an iterative,
quantitative, decision support methodology designed to help
policy makers identify strategies that are robust, that is,
satisfying decision makers' objectives in many
plausible futures, rather than being optimal in any single
estimate of the future. This project used robust decision
making to analyze flood risk management in Ho Chi Minh
City's Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe canal catchment area. It
found that the soon-to-be-completed infrastructure may
reduce risk in best estimates of future conditions, but it
may not keep risk low in many other plausible futures. Thus,
the infrastructure may not be sufficiently robust. The
analysis further suggests that adaptation and retreat
measures, particularly when used adaptively, can play an
important role in reducing this risk. The study examines the
conditions under which robust decision making concepts and
full robust decision making analyses may prove useful in
developing countries. It finds that planning efforts in
developing countries should at minimum use models and data
to evaluate their decisions under a wide range of
conditions. Full robust decision making analyses can also
augment existing planning efforts in numerous ways.
