===== 4.3.3.6.4 Social values =====

Social values refer to what people consider of critical importance about the places in which they live, and range from material to immaterial things (assets, beliefs, etc.; Hurlimann et al., 2014 <sup>[[#fn:r1371|1371]]</sup> ; Rouse et al., 2017 <sup>[[#fn:r1372|1372]]</sup> ). Consideration of social values offers an opportunity to address a wider perspective on impacts on human systems, for example, complementary to quantitative assessments of health impacts (e.g., loss of source of calories and food insecurity; Keim, 2010 <sup>[[#fn:r1374|1374]]</sup> ). This also encompasses immaterial dimensions, such as threats to cultural heritage (Marzeion and Levermann, 2014 <sup>[[#fn:r1374|1374]]</sup> ; Fatorić and Seekamp, 2017a <sup>[[#fn:r1375|1375]]</sup> ), socialising activities (Karlsson et al., 2015 <sup>[[#fn:r1376|1376]]</sup> ), integration of marginalised groups (Maldonado, 2015 <sup>[[#fn:r1377|1377]]</sup> ) and cultural ecosystem services (Fish et al., 2016), and provides an opportunity to better reflect context-specificities in valuing the physical/ecological/human/cultural impacts’ importance for and distribution within a given society (Fatorić and Seekamp, 2017b <sup>[[#fn:r1379|1379]]</sup> ). This field of research (no detailed mention found in AR5) is just emerging due to the transdisciplinary and qualitative nature of the topic. Graham et al. (2013) <sup>[[#fn:r1380|1380]]</sup> advance a 5-category framing of social values specifically at risk from SLR: health (i.e., the social determinants of survival such as environmental and housing quality and healthy lifestyles), feeling of safety (e.g., financial and job security), belongingness (i.e., attachment to places and people), self-esteem (e.g., social status or pride that can be affected by coastal retreat), and self-actualisation (i.e., people’s efforts to define their own identity). Another emerging issue relates to social values at risk due to land submergence in low-lying islands (Yamamoto and Esteban, 2014 <sup>[[#fn:r1381|1381]]</sup> ) and parts of countries and individual properties (Marino, 2012 <sup>[[#fn:r1382|1382]]</sup> ; Maldonado et al., 2013 <sup>[[#fn:r1383|1383]]</sup> ; Aerts, 2017 <sup>[[#fn:r1384|1384]]</sup> ; Allgood and McNamara, 2017 <sup>[[#fn:r1385|1385]]</sup> ). Recent studies also highlight the potential additional risks to social values in areas where displaced people relocate (Davis et al., 2018 <sup>[[#fn:r1386|1386]]</sup> ).
