The book examines differential flood vulnerability in
the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It employs a
triangulation of methods within a PGIS methodology
and political ecology as the conceptual framework.
The main premise in this book is that household flood
vulnerability is socially constructed in that it is
mediated by locally contingent political,
socio-economic and environmental factors. As a
result, conventional solutions that focus mainly on
the physical event are ineffective and costly because
they ignore local knowledge about flood hazards and
flood coping mechanisms that have been disrupted or
destroyed.The book integrates historical and
contemporary flood experiences into a traditional GIS
database to study differential household flood
vulnerability. It also combines a quantitative
spatial analysis using household survey and
traditional GIS data with qualitative methods to
examine the local dynamics of flood vulnerability at
Milaboni and Dzingahe villages. PGIS provides the
framework to include socially differentiated local
knowledge while political ecology focuses the
analysis on how power relations impact household
flood vulnerability in the two study sites.
