This study aimed at understanding the phenomena associated with risk perception related to climate change, particularly coastal flooding, integrating the cultural, spatial and psychosocial levels involved in their construction. To this end, a qualitative methodology was adopted, based on symbolic interactionism which followed procedures of analysis of grounded theory. 33 interviews were conducted using the criteria of a theoretical sampling. The findings highlight the significant role of previous experience with coastal flooding risk, habituation to the risk, and the emotional bond with the place as determinants of risk perception. Similarly, mistrust in government institutions regarding their role in managing this risk has emerged as a relevant factor, as they are considered ineffective, co-opted, negligent and corrupt. When there is a strongly perceived risk, together with a significant degree of rootedness in the place and a lack of planning for action in the event of the materialization of this threat, this mistrust appears to increase feelings of hopelessness and impotence to cope with coastal flooding risk.

这项研究旨在了解与气候变化有关的风险感知相关的现象，特别是沿海洪灾，将其构建过程中涉及的文化，空间和社会心理层面进行整合。为此，采用了一种基于象征性互动主义的定性方法论，该方法论遵循扎根理论的分析程序。使用理论抽样的标准进行了33次访谈。这些发现凸显了先前的经验对沿海洪灾风险，风险的习惯化以及与当地的情感纽带是风险感知决定因素的重要作用。同样，人们对政府机构在管理这种风险中的作用的不信任感也已成为一个相关因素，因为它们被认为是无效，选择，疏忽和腐败的。
