Dataset on stakeholder perceptions of ocean hazard risk for coastal roadways in Maui County, Hawai‘i

Description

We present two datasets generated from an online survey and semi-structured oral interviews conducted in Maui and Molokai, Hawai‘i from May to July 2021. Datasets include 102 responses from the online survey and de-identified, categorized themes from 112 oral interviews. Participants, identified by stakeholder groups which range from local residents to government employees, were recruited via email. This data, focused on coastal hazards and resilience in the face of sea-level rise (SLR), has informed adaptation recommendations and cost/benefit analyses for the Coastal Road Erosion Susceptibility Index (CRESIv2) for Maui County. The original CRESI was developed by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (UH CEE) in 2019 for the Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) and applied to coastal state roads (Francis et al., 2019). The 2019 CRESI report is available online at: "https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/files/2019/09/State-of-Hawaii-Statewide-Coastal-Highway-Program-Report_Final_2019.pdf". As of September 2024, the 2024 Maui County CRESIv2 report is finalized but not yet published. See below for information included in each dataset and folder structure descriptions. Survey Data: 1. Respondent characteristics and self-identified stakeholder groups 2. Residency status and tenure 3. Coastal road adaptation option preferences 4. Road usage frequency and purpose 5. Ranking of factors influencing adaptation preferences 6. Perceived barriers to increased coastal resilience Oral Interview Data: 1. Respondent characteristics and stakeholder groups 2. New or exacerbated risks 3. Limitations to increasing resilience 4. Coastal and compound hazard impacts 5. Government agency experiences 6. Community engagement experiences 7. Hazard reporting and discovery methods 8. Evacuation preparation time needed 9. Areas of concern 10. Vulnerable populations 11. Desired improvements 12. Actions and contributions The data is organized into two folders: Survey Data and Supplementary Materials Folder: - Raw data in .csv format ("Raw Survey Data.csv") - Key for adaptation options ("Adaptation Options Key.docx") - Questionnaire ("Survey.pdf") Blank entries indiciate the question was optional or non-applicable to the respondent, as questions were organized by area of residence. Oral Interview Data and Supplementary Materials Folder: - Post-thematic analysis data in .csv format ("Processed Oral Interview Data.csv") - Abbreviation key ("Abbreviation Key.docx") - Interview questions, categorized by stakeholder groups ("Interview Questions.docx") Due to the nature of semi-structured interviews being dynamic and affected by variations in interview duration and question interpretation, not all interviewees provided responses for every category, shown as blank entries. Additionally, many respondents had multiple answers for each category. These are shown as multiple entries in each box.
