Abstract

A fundamental component of the European natural disaster management policy is the detection of potential flood-prone areas, which is directly connected to the European Directive (2007/60). This study presents a framework for mapping potential flooding areas incorporating geographic information systems (GIS), fuzzy logic and clustering techniques, and multi-criteria evaluation methods. Factors are divided in different groups which do not have the same level of trade off. These groups are related to geophysical, morphological, climatological/meteorological and hydrological characteristics of the basin as well as to anthropogenic land use. GIS and numerical simulation are used for geographic data acquisition and processing. The selected factor maps are considered in order to estimate the spatial distribution of the potential flood prone areas. Using these maps, the study area is classified into five categories of flood vulnerable areas. The Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) techniques consist of the crisp and fuzzy analytical hierarchy processes (AHP) and are enhanced with different standardization methods. The classification is based on different clustering techniques and it is applied in two approaches. In the first approach, all criteria are normalized before the MCA process and then, the clustering techniques are applied to derive the final flood prone area maps. In the second approach, the criteria are clustered before and after the MCA process for the potential flood prone area mapping. The methodology is demonstrated in Xerias River watershed, Thessaly region, Greece. Xerias River floodplain was repeatedly flooded in the last few years. These floods had major impacts on agricultural areas, transportation networks and infrastructure. Historical flood inundation data has been used for the validation of the methodology. Results show that multiple MCA techniques should be taken into account in initial low-cost detection surveys of flood-prone areas and/or in preliminary analysis of flood hazard mapping.
