Spatial Analysis of Flood Exposure and Vulnerability for Planning More Equal Mitigation Actions

The issue of spatial equity Nature-Based Solutions in cities generally concerns the distribution their benefits to local residents and other city users. In context flood risk management, planners are challenged identify effective mitigation adaptation measures that can generate higher number people and, more specifically, with highest levels exposure vulnerability. To address these issues, an essential step is geography needs for mitigation, intended as prior areas which locate mitigation. This study combines geospatial layers multiple dimensions vulnerability flooding identifies suitable design scenarios risk, a regional case located Sicily. results show patterns vary according locally relevant physical social urban dimensions. Based on results, proposals actions advanced overall objective generating equal most vulnerable exposed subjects. Moreover, this argues about particular implications implementing stormwater green infrastructure planning beneficial potentially achievable reduction.
