Abstract
This chapter uses the comparative analysis of varying approaches to issues geographical position and the balance between ecosystem service amenity (e.g., distance-to-shore and view), sub-national policies, and natural hazard risk. We provide an overview of current policies in place, a review of the amenity-based analysis of the risk averseness, explicit incentives, and governance structures to make the housing market account for low-probability catastrophic risk scenarios. We look how effective markets compensate for incorporated natural hazard risks. The book chapter draws on comparison to the emergent practices in regional settings in Florida and compare the emergent practices in Cuba and/or Caribbean region and provides for potential applicability of models. These are all places with similar risk exposure and morphology but vary on national and sub-national institutions.
