The food-energy-water nexus (F-E-W) serves as a crucial resource for the sustainability of households, while the efficiency of resource use largely depends on our understanding and management of the nexus including all three factors. Limited research has been conducted on this topic thus far because of the increasing complexity of home technologies and data availability. This study develops an evidence-based system dynamics model for assessing the synergy and trade-offs of the household F-E-W. By applying the system dynamics (SD) methodology, the FEW consumption and generation originating from home appliances were modelled and simulated. The model was applied to an eco-house in Tokyo, and its efficacy was validated with one-year hour-based observations of a home energy management system (HEMS). The findings revealed that water-related and food-related energy use accounted for approximately 55% of the total energy use. In addition, water-related energy use showed high uncertainty, suggesting a management potential of approximately 24% for reduction, and was significantly correlated with household carbon emissions. Moreover, this result verified that the effective management of household energy consumption requires the adept manipulation of the diverse array of energy sources employed for air and water heating, while HEMSs could play a key role in implementation.

People-centered risk communication is important to mitigate the flood damage caused by the recent increase in heavy rainfall events in Japan. Longitudinal studies are particularly important for evaluating the effectiveness of risk communication methods; however, current research is insufficient. To address this gap, we conducted a longitudinal study, specifically through four panel surveys conducted over a short period, to investigate the effects of various risk communication methods such as running an evacuation simulation to learn about flood damage, providing information about the evacuation behavior of others, and distributing hazard maps. The results of a fixed effects analysis of the panel data suggest that the impact of risk communication depends on the initial evacuation attitude. In particular, we find that distributing hazard maps had a negative effect on the evacuation behavior of those who initially responded that they would evacuate. This suggests that residents in non-flood-prone areas may have acquired the correct hazard perception from these hazard maps. However, for those who initially chose not to evacuate, receiving the distributed content had a positive effect on their evacuation behavior 12 h before the typhoon hit. This suggests that those who initially chose not to evacuate may have reconsidered their decision. The findings of this study may help future risk communication by reducing congestion at evacuation sites due to excessive evacuation, while increasing the evacuation rate of those who should evacuate.
