ABSTRACT:The paper describes utilization of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for detection of changes of shorelines. UAV is used as a cheep and ondemand available possibility how to collect remotely sensed data. Its utilization is limited by legal regulations and weather conditions. Paper deals with utilization of UAV for monitoring small water area and particularly study of changes of shorelines. Study contains other methods of classification. After classification will be data processed for next calculations. Indices regarding shoreline changes are in the study also. In conclusion, study contains obtainment findings and encouragement for the future.

“…The fourth grouping was composed by four clusters-resilience governance, institutional and collaborative polices, mitigation and adaptation governance, and public health response-which have all been addressed in the local implementation of action plan strategies, management responses to climate change and urban governance.

A Review of Urban Planning Research for Climate Change

This paper identified the research focus and development tendency of urban planning and climate change research from 1990 to 2016 using CiteSpace, which is based on the Web of Science database. Through cluster analysis and a document sorting method, the research direction of city planning and climate change were mainly divided into four academic groupings, 15 clusters with homogenous themes representing the current research focus direction at the sub-level. The detailed study on the framework presented three mainstream developing directions: (1) The index assessment and spatial simulation on the impact of urban spatial systems for climate change have become important methods to identify and improve the adaptability of urban space. (2) Adaptive governance as a bottom-up strategy giving priority to institutional adaptation policy and collaborative polices for responding to climate change has become the hot direction in recent years. (3) The policies of urban public health-related urban equity, vulnerability, and environmental sustainability were addressed especially during the period from 2007 to 2009. Dynamic evolution trends of the research field were discussed: (1) The total numbers of papers in this field increased distinctly between 2005 and 2008, research focus shifted from single-dimension to multi-dimension comprehensive studies, and the humanism tendency was obvious. (2) After 2010, research on multi-level governance and spatial adaptation strategies became the key issues, and a bottom-up level adaptation policies were addressed. Finally, the critical influence of the important literature and the forefront issues of the research field were put forward.

“…The interplay of extreme weather events and rapid urbanization continues to make flooding one of the most important natural hazards worldwide (Lamond, Rose and Booth 2015) (Kotze and Reyers 2016). Recent flood events have impacted negatively on the built and natural environments, resulted in huge loss of life and caused disruption to the lives of millions with huge long term socio-economic and health implications (Jha, Bloch and Lamond 2012) (Kundzewicz, et al 2014).…”

Measuring flood resilience: a fuzzy logic approach

Flood resilience is emerging as a major component of an integrated strategic approach to flood risk management. This approach recognizes that some flooding is inevitable and aligns with the concept of ‗living with water'. Flood resilience measurement has been recognized as key for making the business case for investments in resilient retrofits and adaptations and, could potentially be used to inform the design of new developments where there is a risk of flooding.The literature is however sparse on frameworks for quantifying or measuring the level of resilience of flood prone households. This study describes the development of a fuzzy logic based flood resilience measuring model, drawing on a synthesis of extant flood resilience and fuzzy logic literature. An abstraction of the flood resilience system followed by identification and characterisation of systems' variables and parameters were carried out. The resulting model was transformed into a fuzzy inference system (FIS) using three input factors; Inherent resilience (IR), Supportive Facilities (SF) and, Resident Capacity (RC). The resulting fuzzy inference system generates resilience index for households with a wide range of techno-economic and socio-environmental features. . It is concluded that the fuzzy logic based model provides a veritable tool for the measurement of flood resilience at the level of the individual property, and with the potential to be further developed for larger scale applications i.e. at the community or regional levels.
