dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates why some urban coastal areas are more effective in managing flood risks that disproportionately affect marginalized communities. It conducts a comparative study of Bangkok and Mumbai, two megacities grappling with severe monsoon-induced flooding, to understand how governance structures, civil society engagement, spatial planning, and the use of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) shape flood resilience outcomes. While both cities face increasing climate vulnerability, they demonstrate divergent trajectories in policy implementation, institutional coordination, and social inclusion. The central argument is that cities that integrate inclusive governance, participatory planning, and well-implemented Nature-Based Solutions are more likely to achieve equitable flood adaptation outcomes for marginalized communities. The research reveals that Bangkok’s more centralized governance, integrated NBS strategies, and partial inclusion of community actors have contributed to relatively more equitable and effective flood mitigation. In contrast, Mumbai’s fragmented planning, elite-driven infrastructure focus, and systematic exclusion of informal communities have exacerbated spatial and social vulnerability. The study draws on city-level planning documents, international policy reports, and empirical literature to assess how institutional and participatory dynamics mediate the success of urban adaptation. The findings underscore that technical solutions alone are insufficient; equitable urban resilience depends on inclusive governance and socially responsive planning. These insights offer important implications for climate policy, urban planning, and disaster risk governance in the Global South.;도시 해안 지역의 일부가 주변화된 공동체에 불균형적으로 영향을 미치는 홍수 위험을 보다 효과적으로 관리하는 요인을 분석하였다. 몬순으로 인한 심각한 홍수에 직면한 방콕과 뭄바이를 사례로 비교 연구를 수행하여, 거버넌스 구조, 시민사회 참여, 공간 계획, 자연 기반 해법(Nature Based Solutions, NBS)의 적용이 홍수 회복력에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 두 도시는 기후 취약성 증가라는 공통된 도전에 직면하고 있으나, 정책 실행, 제도 간 협력, 사회적 포용성 측면에서 상이한 경로를 나타낸다. 포용적 거버넌스, 참여적 계획, 효과적으로 구현된 자연 기반 해법을 통합한 도시일수록 주변화된 공동체를 위한 공정한 홍수 적응 결과를 달성할 가능성이 높다는 점이 핵심 주장이다. 방콕의 경우 중앙집중적인 거버넌스, 통합된 NBS 전략, 공동체 참여의 부분적 수용이 비교적 효과적이고 공정한 홍수 완화에 기여한 것으로 나타난다. 반면, 뭄바이는 분절된 계획 체계, 엘리트 중심의 기반 시설 투자, 비공식 공동체의 체계적 배제로 인해 공간적·사회적 취약성이 심화되었다. 도시 차원의 계획 문서, 국제 정책 보고서, 실증적 문헌을 바탕으로, 제도적 및 참여적 역학이 도시 적응의 성과를 어떻게 매개하는지 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 기술적 해법만으로는 충분하지 않으며, 공정한 도시 회복력을 위해서는 포용적 거버넌스와 사회적으로 반응하는 계획이 필수적임을 강조한다. 이러한 분석은 글로벌 사우스 지역의 기후 정책, 도시 계획, 재난 위험 거버넌스에 중요한 함의를 제공한다.-
