Rapid and uncontrolled changes in land use patterns due to urbanization negatively affect urban rainfall-runoff processes and flood hazard. In this study, a method that included different sustainable drainage solutions, such as green infrastructure (GI) usage for flood hazard mitigation with various scenarios on a geographic information system (GIS) platform within a 1653 ha catchment of the Kağıthane Stream in İstanbul, Turkey is presented. Developed scenarios are as follows: scenario one (SN1) is the current situation; scenario two (SN2) used green roof application for buildings and a permeable surface for roads; scenario three (SN3) used only green roof application for buildings; scenario four (SN4) used a rainwater barrel for collecting roof water, a swale canal for collecting road water, and added additional structures to open areas to observe urbanization; scenario five (SN5) considered multiple GI implementations; and scenario six (SN6) considered full urbanization. The results indicate that greener infrastructure implementation provides benefits in reducing both the runoff coefficient and the peak flowrate, and the flood inundation area and number of structures affected by flood risk were decreased. The integrated evaluation system, which consisted of the geographic information system and the assessment of the 1D HEC-RAS hydrologic model, was applied to evaluate the GI usage and flood mitigation.

A identificação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações é essencial para o gerenciamento de desastres e definição de políticas públicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é a apresentação de um método para identificação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações através da integração de informações geográficas provenientes de técnicas do Sensoriamento Remoto, as ferramentas do Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG), a lógica Fuzzy e a aplicação de Métodos de Análise Multicritério (MAM) Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Para atingir o objetivo foi proposto um estudo de caso, localizado na Bacia do Rio Bengalas, nos municípios de Nova Friburgo e Bom Jardim (Região Serrana do Rio de Janeiro). A modelagem espacial multicritério foi realizada a partir da seleção de um conjunto de dados composto por informações geomorfológicas, hidrológicas e de uso e ocupação do solo. Como resultado, obteve-se um mapa de suscetibilidade a inundações para a região. A coerência do modelo gerado foi verificada a partir do histórico de inundações da bacia do Rio Bengalas. A metodologia, apresentou-se eficiente e adequada para a determinação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações, prevendo com sucesso a distribuição espacial de áreas com riscos a inundações.  Spatial modelling of flood-susceptible areas based on a hybrid multi-criteria model and Geographic Information System: a case study applied to the Bengalas River basin A B S T R A C TThe identification of areas susceptible to flooding is essential for disaster management and public policy making. The objective of this work is the presentation of a method for the identification of areas susceptible to floods through the integration of geographic information from Remote Sensing techniques, Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, Fuzzy logic and the application of Multicriteria Analysis Methods (MAM) Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In order to achieve the objective, a case study was proposed, located in the Bengalas River Basin, in the municipalities of Nova Friburgo and Bom Jardim (Mountain Region of Rio de Janeiro). Multicriteria spatial modeling was performed by selecting a data set composed of geomorphological, hydrological and land use information. As a result, a flood susceptibility map was obtained for the region. The coherence of the generated model was verified from the flood history of the Bengalas River basin. The methodology was efficient and adequate for the determination of areas susceptible to floods, successfully predicting the spatial distribution of areas at risk of flooding.Keywords: flood susceptibility.
