Short summary
Groß Glienicker Lake and Sacrower Lake in Berlin-Brandenburg are losing water. This study examines how people perceive associated challenges as well as their willingness and capacities to respond, using interviews, surveys, and workshops. Findings show the issue is not just environmental but deeply socially embedded, requiring more than technical solutions. Viewing hazards like this one as both natural and social can help create better, more adaptive strategies for managing associated risks.
