this study, we examine and evaluate local knowledge to develop an integrated participatory
model for spatial planning. <span>  </span>We used participatory
approaches in Düzce province to enhance risk communication, and to obtain the local
point of view related to natural hazards and vulnerabilities through
collaborative workshop techniques. <span>  </span>We integrated
multi-knowledge sources including geoecological research data and local expert knowledge,
and including the results of questionnaire surveys’ analyses from workshops and
town-watch exercise. This paper presents integrated information that can be useful
in risk communication, and valuable analyses in terms of stakeholders’
responsibilities and sources in disaster risk reduction towards resilience. </span> <span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us" lang="en-us"> </span> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Eskişehir Teknik Üniversitesi}
