Abstract

The urban vulnerability to floods reflects the state of destruction and damage of human,society and economic properties in the city by floods.Taking 14 cities of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as examples,this paper introduces the cloud model theory method into the evaluation of urban vulnerability to floods,establishes an evaluation factor system for flood vulnerability with five vulnerability levels,improves the game theory to ensure the positive value of combination coefficient based on the subjective and objective weights,and then determines the cooperative weights.The research shows that the cloud model can cope with the uncertainty in the evaluation studies well by taking into account the ambiguity and randomness of factors.In overall,cities in the middle and east Guangxi have higher vulnerability level,followed by those in the west and north Guangxi,and then those in the south Guangxi.

5. Applying the Flood Vulnerability Index as a Knowledge base for flood risk assessment

Author

Balica, S.F., Wright, N.G., and Mynett, A.E.

Subjects
vulnerability indices, vulnerability to floods, parametric approach, flood susceptibility, spatial scales, physically based models, flood exposure, flood resilience, Floods, risk
Abstract

Floods are one of the most common and widely distributed natural risks to life and property worldwide. An important part of modern flood risk management is to evaluate vulnerability to floods. This evaluation can be done only by using a parametric approach. Worldwide there is a need to enhance our understanding of vulnerability and to also develop methodologies and tools to assess vulnerability. One of the most important goals of assessing flood vulnerability is to create a readily understandable link between the theoretical concepts of flood vulnerability and the day-to-day decision-making process and to encapsulate this link in an easily accessible tool.
