Sheng, Boyuan (2022) Enhancing green infrastructure management for flood-drought resilience in brisbane, Australia: An integrated approach. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This research aims to better understand catchment-scale green infrastructure (GI) and how it could help increase flood and drought resilience in Brisbane, Australia. Findings show there is a limited number of integrated GI planning frameworks that take full consideration of a landscape planning perspective to achieve sustainable water management. Using the Oxley Creek Transformation Project (OCT) as an exemplar of catchment-scale planning in the Brisbane region, this research evaluated how landscape planning principles were considered in reducing flood and drought risks. The findings inform seven recommendations to improve GI planning and design guidelines applied within the Southeast Queensland context.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
