Abstract

Cutting-edge flood visualisation technologies are becoming increasingly important in managing urban flood
risks, particularly from the perspective of stakeholders who play a crucial role in controlling and reducing the
risks associated with flood events. This review study provides a comprehensive overview of stakeholder analysis
in this context, highlighting gaps in current research and paving the way for future investigations. For this
purpose, scientific literature and critical analysis are conducted based on identified relevant research works to
map the mutual role of stakeholders in this context. This study categorises cutting-edge technologies into four
groups - virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and digital twin - and explores their adoption in
engaging various stakeholders across the five key stages of risk management: prevention, mitigation, preparation,
response, and recovery. Results show that existing research has primarily concentrated on the support to
water utilities and the communication with the general public. However, there is a noticeable gap in research
regarding the comprehensive engagement of important stakeholders such as policy-makers, researchers, and
insurance providers. Furthermore, the study highlights disparities in the involvement of stakeholders in damage
assessment studies, particularly with a lack of representation from policy-makers and researchers. Finally, the study introduces the concept of overlooked key stakeholders and the interconnected impacts they have, which
has received relatively little attention in previous research.
