TLTzuHsiang Lo AMAlexandra Malmström SJSirkku Juhola

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the current implementation of digital twins (DTs) in flood risk management and governance.
Developed a framework for assessing DTs implementation
Conducted a systematic literature review
Focused on identifying gaps in current DTs applications for flood governance.
Identified that DT implementation in flood risk management largely follows traditional control methods.
Noticed limited focus on DTs for governance despite their potential benefits.
Proposed a human-nature integrated DT system to enhance policy and decision-making.

Abstract

• A framework is built for assessing the DTs’ implementation for flood management. • DTs development for flood risk management (FRM) and governance (FRG) is nascent. • Current DTs implementation in FRM is an extension of the traditional control paradigm. • There is a lack of attention on the DTs implementation for FRG. • A DTs integrated human-nature system could support policy and decision-making.
