“…These macro-domains can determine the significant effects of the microclimate by inducing morphological and functional changes in the urban fabric. For example, the themes of the urban water system [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68], the energy system [69][70][71][72], the green infrastructure system [73][74][75][76] under the first domain, while the demographic dimension [77][78][79][80] and the system of productive activities [81][82][83] and transport [84][85][86][87] are part of the second one. All these aspects must then be included in the local vulnerability studies.…”

Climate change is contributing to raising disaster risk, with variable impacts depending on the local level of vulnerability. This paper describes a method for the definition of local vulnerability domains to climate change. The application of the methodology is aimed at building local vulnerability maps. The set of indicators of climate exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity, theoretically identified and practically tested on two case studies in southern Italy, contributes to support the territories in identifying the main local vulnerabilities, as well as define, subsequently, a systematic framework for identifying the most suitable mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change according to the specificities of the contexts of interest. In this regard, we consider the framework of risks and related impacts due to climate change on urban infrastructure proposed by the European Commission in order to face common challenges in the EU territories. Specifically, reference is made to three thematic focuses, which are “transport infrastructures”, “energy infrastructures” and “buildings and construction sector”. Although still at an early stage, the results of the research contribute to identifying useful elements of interrelation with the urban context for guiding resilient planning choices and reducing risks.

“…On the other hand, much of the current literature on urban hydrology pays particular attention to investigating the effects of both climatology and LU development integrated to enhance runoff (Krajewski et al 2021;Labat, Foldes, Kohnova, & Hlavcova, 2020;Arantes et al, 2021;Xiong, Huang, & Yang, 2020;Liu, Xue, & Yan, 2020;Lv et al, 2020). For example, Data from the study by Luo et al (2018) stated that LU and climate change are increasing rainfall sensitivity.…”

The issue of Land Use (LU) change has received considerable critical attention because it is one of the most significant factors caused by human activities worldwide. Recent critical changes in this direction have affected urban hydrology. LU change affects water resources and hydrological characteristics such as runoff and urban flooding. The development of LU causes a rapid increase in impermeable surfaces, increasing the flooding rate. LU also plays a vital role in extending water drainage, groundwater intrusion, and flooding during and after rainfall. This paper aims to investigate LU change impacts on runoff and urban flooding. This review focused on most articles, conference papers, and book chapters published in SCOPUS, including Google Scholar. The study was limitation to the last published from 2017-2021 and also extended some published theories for different years published. In addition, in the short and long term, the development of LU affects the environment, and most factors are involved at a catchment level. However, there is a strong relationship between human activities at the catchment level and runoff. The study concluded that LU strongly influences topography and the landscape in arid, semi-arid, and humid zones. This is why runoff and water distribution happen in urban areas. Furthermore, this study found that builtup area is a critical factor that increases urban flood risk, especially in lowlands along floodplains. It is common for the frequency of floods to become more severe due to a rapid increase in impervious surfaces brought on by urbanisation, increasing runoff. The review concludes that runoff affects by catchment size and its condition. Finally, humans can be reduced runoff and flood risk with a sensibility strategy.

“…For example, runoff changes in West Africa have been shown to be closely related to changes in precipitation, and potential evapotranspiration has been shown to have a small impact on runoff . Changes in forest cover in the Boca Basin of Slovakia have led to major changes in runoff (Labat et al, 2020). The decrease in the frost depth in the Volga Basin of Russia has led to an average increase of 17% in winter runoff (Kramer et al, 2015).…”

The global climate has undergone significant changes in the past 100 years, yet the extent to which abrupt temperature changes (ATCs) and warming hiatuses (WHs) impact runoff remains unclear. This study used the water balance model (WBM) to quantitatively assess the impacts of climate change and human activities on the measured runoff at representative runoff stations in the mid-and-low-latitude regions of the temperate continental-monsoon transition zone and further analysed the impacts of ATCs and WHs on the runoff at the representative stations. The results show the following. The runoff in the study area decreased overall, and the runoff at five stations located in the northeast and west was essentially not impacted by human activities, while the runoff at seven stations in the central part of the study area was significantly impacted by human activities, with a maximum degree of impact of more than 70%. The average temperature of each basin in the study area underwent a significant abrupt increase in the 1990s, which had a negative driving effect on runoff, reducing the runoff depth by 1.92–2.98 mm. The runoff between Hailar and Halaqin in the central part of the study area was significantly impacted by human activities, with a maximum degree of impact of more than 70%. After removing the impact of human activities, evaporation tended to decrease after the abrupt temperature increase; i.e., an “evaporation paradox” phenomenon occurred in these regions. During this period, the amount of precipitation was stable, and the ATC increased the runoff by 0.27–11.74 mm; the runoff changes at the Yingluoxia and Zhengyixia stations in the west were only slightly impacted by human activities, and the ATC significantly increased the runoff, which reached 13.86 mm. In 2007, the average temperature in some basins experienced a WH, which had a relatively small impact on the runoff and a negative driving effect, reducing the runoff by 0.13–5.19 mm. In terms of the contribution to runoff changes around the ATC and WH, the contribution of temperature to runoff changes after the ATC was slightly greater after than that before the ATC, while the contribution of temperature to runoff changes before and after the WH did not exhibit a clear variation pattern.
