Spatial Analysis for Flood Control by Using Environmental Modeling

Abstract

To create the final spatial information and analysis, flood hazard maps and land development priority maps and information, data for the flood events to 2009 in north of Iran were incorporated with using Geo-spatial Information System data of physiographic divisions, geologic divisions, land cover classification, elevation, drainage network, administrative districts and population density and environmental parameters modeling. Special analysis also attention was paid to population density for the construction of the land development priority map and using satellite image analysis to determine land use changes and analysis of geo-spatial information, because highly dense populated areas represent the highly important urban and industrial areas. While geo-information technology offers an opportunity to support flood management adequate geo-spatial information is a prerequisite for sustainable development, but many parts of the world lack adequate information on environmental resources. Such information providing, which serves as an important tool for decision-making in land use planning, can help provide effective information to natural disaster management. This paper develops a framework for flood control and begins with some general comments on the importance of land use planning and outlines some current environmental issues and then presenting environmental models to use in disaster management plan by using GIS and remote sensing results. Flood control is a complex problem that requires cooperation of many scientists in different fields. The article also discusses the role that geo-information and environmental planning and GIS and remote sensing technology play in disaster management control to reduce negative impacts of flood and present proper alternatives for developing of Gorganrood in the north of Iran. Advanced high-resolution sensor technology has provided immense scope to the decision makers for analysis of flood and damages details using GIS and remote sensing

Priority Selection of Residential Development Areas With Flood Hazard in Limapuluh Kota District, West Sumatra

“…Explained that the unsuitable utilization of land with its function will need expensive fee [28]. The unsuitable land use does not only need additional fee in utilizing but it also causes the damage of land and environment [29,30]. Flood hazard area zone can be determined based on overlay analysis of land type map, slope map, topography map, rainfall map, elevation or altitude map, land use map, and geological of Limapuluh Kota District.…”

Predictors of Seasonal Flood Control in Owode Yewa, Ogun State, Nigeria

“…In Zimbabwe, 246 persons were killed. Road, crops and livestock were destroyed by flooding Gharagozlou, et al [16]. Etuonovbe [17] examined the devastating effects of flood on the border between Ogun and Lagos States and Northern part of the country.…”

GIS Based Method for Flood Hazard Assesment in Kobe River Watershed - North Maluku Province

“…As a result, advancements in GIS, remote sensing, and hydraulic modelling technologies have been actively utilized in developing models that are widely used around the globe for disaster risk reduction [12][13]. This technique has many benefits, including ease of use, low cost, adaptability to environmental models, and coverage of a large region [14]. Several studies that have been carried out using a GIS approach in the world such as; [15] about GIS and local knowledge in disaster management: a case study of flood risk mapping in Vietnam; [16] about Application of Remote Sensing and GIS For Flood Risk Analysis: A Case Study At Kalu-Ganga River, Sri Lanka; [17] Assessing and mapping flood hazard, vulnerability, and risk in the Upper Brahmaputra River valley using stakeholders' knowledge and multicriteria evaluation (MCE), and [18] about Geospatial Assessment of Flood Hazard in Jhang District, Pakistan.…”
