Up to 1980s flood protection in world was mainly realized by means of technical measures. The increase in environmental awareness, an adapted legislation and modified requirement for flood protection decreased the role of these measures and increased the role of non structural measures. Flo...
[7,8]. Alternative methods relate to resilience theory and address the city’s capacity to mitigate flooding in particularly sensitive urban areas, tolerate controlled flooding on assigned areas, and to re-organize in case of damage. This means that adaptive, multifunctional infrastructure in ...
Vulnerability can be divided into economic value, susceptibility to damage and resilience [18,19]. In this sense, studies that do not include flood characteristics should not be named as Flood Hazard Mapping (FHS). Within the same reasoning, a Flood Susceptibility Mapping (FSM), as a ...
However, there is a lack of uniform methods for analysis of the vulnerability of potentially affected buildings and to determine their potential damage for risk and cost-benefit considerations. Currently adopted area-related statistical damage values, particularly in urban areas, significantly underestimate...
, resilience has been defined as “the ability of risk bearers, assets or components of nature to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impact of a flood event in a timely and efficient manner”, whereas the term vulnerability refers to “the level of damage that risk bearers, ...
