If needed we can put some more references about the issue, but we don’t NHESSD consider that an additional chapter is needed. 1, C1268–C1270, 2013 2. a) All together 93 semi-structured interviews were conducted. First interviews were conducted from 29 October 2007 onwards, majority of the interviews were conducted in October and November 2008 and the last ones were conducted by the end of July Interactive 2009. As the most relevant informants were chosen the former and actual represen- Comment tatives of local and regional administration, representatives of Slovenian institutions in Italy, experts in construction, experts in protection of cultural heritage, professors on faculties, administrators, researchers and local priests. All interviews were conducted by co-author Primož Pipan as a field work for his Phd study with the title: Compar- ing Post-Earthquake Recovery in Italy and Slovenia after the Earthquakes in the Socaˇ Valley and Friuli. Since his knowledge of Italian language is according to Common Eu- ropean Framework of Reference for Languages, on the level of “B1 - Independent user” in understanding and speaking, he had no problems in communicating and translating the answers given by the informants. 2. b) The settlements were chosen at the beginning. Later they were grouped in different rungs of Arnstein ladder of participation according to information acquired with interviews compared with the information and data from the literature. 3 We shall provide more background information. Question for the editor: what is the max. length of the articles in NHESS? Full Screen / Esc

4. For easier comparison of the post-earthquake recovery in Italy and Slovenia after the Printer-friendly Version earthquakes in the Socaˇ Valley and Friuli 14 case studies were selected (in the whole research: see point 1: https://share.upr.si/fhs/PUBLIC/doktorske/Pipan-Primoz.pdf), 7 Interactive Discussion of them in Italy (, Portis, , , , , Resia) and 7 of them in Slovenia (Breginj, Logje, Robidišce,ˇ Drežniške Ravne, Kosec,ˇ Bovec, Discussion Paper Cezsoˇ ca).ˇ The selected cases focused on smaller hamlets, however based on a similar

C1269 population size, position and accessibility. Because of the length limitation of the article we selected just six case studies (3 in Italy and 3 in Slovenia) which are the most NHESSD representative according to different public participation approach. 1, C1268–C1270, 2013 5.
