| dc.description.abstract | Over 50% of the global population is settled in coastal areas and 75% of relative large cities in the world are located in or near a delta. Therefore the delta cities are not only at greater risk for the consequences of climate change, but many citizens are at risk as well. For this research two adaptation approaches are compared therefore two delta cities are selected New Orleans and Rotterdam. the basic concept of adaptation is: adaptations are those changes to the structure, object, concept of behavior of an organism or business that improves its change of survival and success. This research’s research question is: What are the climate change adaptation approaches of the delta cities New Orleans and Rotterdam and what are the key differences and similarities? Analytical guidance during this research was formed by the Culture Theory from Hofstede. The Culture Theory is focusing on the differences and clarifications of cultures in countries by cultural dimensions. The climate adaptation approaches of New Orleans and Rotterdam diver significant from each other. Although the core has similar values, Rotterdam is more experienced in the field of adaptation. This is noticeable in the comparison of the strategy of New Orleans and Rotterdam. | en_US |
