Management of Flood Risk with Spatial Planning
|
Supervisor: Prof. R.L.H. Lalith Rajapakse Department: Civil Engineering Faculty: Engineering Flood risk has become a significant issue, particularly in urban regions. A new set of problems are created by traditional flood management strategies in the face of climate change and rapid urban development. Management of flood risk was subjected to a critical review during the past years. |

The concept of the socio-ecological system suggests that resilience is the key to managing complex systems and reducing flood vulnerability. It has been further acknowledged the consideration of nonlinear and non-stationary interactions of flood risk in decision-making. Therefore, management of the uncertainty associated with flood risk has become a key aspect of Flood Risk Management (FRM). Spatial planning as an integrated planning tool has been emphasized in flood risk management. However, the role of spatial planning in flood risk management remains inadequate mainly because of the absence of a common framework and the main objective of this research was to develop a solution model to structure the complexity of the planning process of FRM.
