Flood disaster has some influences towards residential area. The effect of flood towards residential area needs to be investigated to determine the correct allocation of residential development space for the people who live in a flood-prone area. This research aims to develop a map of flood-prone areas for the sake of residential development evaluation in Baraba district, Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency, South Borneo.The purposive sampling technique was used to select the research area. The unit analysis is some districts and included in the flood-prone areas. To determine the sample based on flood-prone level, the stratified sampling was used.The result of the research shows that most of the investigated areas prone to flood. A secure location for resident should utilize the land in accordance with the criteria of safe and appropriate settlement layout. The low-prone and safe areas can be used for the space allocation of residential areas development in order to be safer from flooding.

AbstractThe site of Sirkeli Höyük in the province of Adana in modern Turkey is one of the largest settlement mounds in Plain Cilicia. In 2012, a geophysical survey revealed that the ancient settlement was not confined to the höyük, but also encompassed an extensive lower town to the southeast of the main mound. To gain information on the dating and development of this part of the settlement, an excavation area (“Sector F”) was opened at a spot where the magnetometry survey suggested the presence of a city gate. Since then, archaeological work in this area has continuously produced new discoveries that help us understand how this residential area and its inhabitants developed throughout the periods of its occupation. Especially the Iron Age (Neo Cilician period) levels, which cover approximately the 11th–7th centuries B.C., provide important information on how this urban center of the Neo Hittite kingdom Hiyawa/Que changed over time and to which extent historical events impacted the people living in one of its residential areas. This contribution discusses the stratigraphic sequence, the pottery, and the archaeobotanical remains discovered in Sector F during the 2013–2019 campaigns, and concludes with a synthesis of the development in this area from a historical perspective.

Flood early warning (FEW) is a vital component of disaster risk management and is particularly important for saving lives, developing a sustainable agro-based economy, economic stability, and the overall development of the people of Bangladesh as well as others. This study was conducted in a northern, flood-prone area of Bangladesh to investigate the potential of incorporating volunteers of the community to the Union Councils (UCs) to disseminate FEW alongside the top-down approach. Several studies have found that despite having a sophisticated flood forecasting technology, local communities are not reaping the benefits of it, as the existing dissemination system is inaccessible to most local people. Since risk communication takes place in a social context, this study investigated and thereby proposed that volunteerism, as a form of social capital or communal virtue, can potentially assist the community-based disaster management (CBDM) institutions in enhancing their capacity to reach the maximum population at times of flood risk. Therefore, it was confirmed that the trained volunteers need to be integrated into and endorsed by the national policy. In addition, this study also provides a number of recommendations connecting literature with policy documents of Bangladesh.

This research is about flood vulnerability mapping in Jambi City based on Geographic Information System (GIS). This study is aiming to find out the flood vulnerability level, spatial distribution of flood, and flood prone areas in Jambi City. We used five parameters that affect flood vulnerability, including land slope, land level, land use, soil type, and rainfall during 2019. The method used is the scoring and overlay method with the help of ArcGis software. Flood vulnerability level was divided into three categories, namely quite vulnerable, vulnerable, and very vulnerable. The results obtained in this study are that most of Jambi City has a level of flood vulnerability in the vulnerable category, which is an area of 9254.82 ha (58%), while for the area that is dominated quite safe from flooding, Jambi Selatan sub-district, is 2849.14 ha (18%). This shows that more than half of the Jambi city area is a flood-prone area so it is very important to carry out structural and non-structural mitigation actions

Abstract. Recent literature shows several examples of simplified approaches that perform flood hazard (FH) assessment and mapping across large geographical areas on the basis of fast-computing geomorphic descriptors. These approaches may consider a single index (univariate) or use a set of indices simultaneously (multivariate). What is the potential and accuracy of multivariate approaches relative to univariate ones? Can we effectively use these methods for extrapolation purposes, i.e. FH assessment outside the region used for setting up the model? Our study addresses these open problems by considering two separate issues: (1) mapping flood-prone areas, and (2) predicting the expected water depth for a given inundation scenario. We blend seven geomorphic descriptors through Decision Tree models trained on target FH maps, referring to a large study area (≈105 km2). We discuss the potential of multivariate approaches relative to the performance of a selected univariate model and on the basis of multiple extrapolation experiments, where models are tested outside their training region. Our results show that multivariate approaches may (a) significantly enhance flood-prone area delineation (overall accuracy: 93 %) relative to univariate ones (overall accuracy: 84 %), (b) provide accurate predictions of expected inundation depths (determination coefficient ≈0.7), and (c) produce encouraging results in extrapolation.

Disaster, a serious disruption in functioning of society whether by natural or manmade cause can happen anywhere. Devastating seismic, hurricane, flood, drought and fire are major disaster. Mitigating disaster risk, prompt rescue and timely evacuation decision during such disaster can prevent loss of lives and properties. The evacuation decision is the choice of people to stay away from the area of risk. The study analyzes the people’s perception of evacuation decisions in a flood disaster in the Saptari district of Nepal affected by Koshi River and other tributaries of it as a Disaster Risk Management. According to United Nations (2016), Management refers to “the organization, planning and applications of measure preparing for, responding to and recovering form disasters”. From the flood-affected site, 246 people were randomly selected for this study and examined the factors influencing evacuation decision-making. The study analyzes the past experiences of the people and their perception. The study has explored that Gender, Destination of evacuation, warning condition, reasons for not evacuating, education, age, proximity to the River from residence, land ownership, the capacity of the people are the factors examined and found no any association with the people’s decision on evacuation during the flood disaster in affected areas in Saptari district. These findings help the student, Disaster Risk Reduction field, Government policy makers and different actors to minimize the loss of lives and properties. The study also recommends for future research on victim’s evacuation decision-making capability in different flood-prone area of Nepal.

The environment in which they live has a major influence on the development of a person's physical characteristics and abilities. One of the physical capacities that is strongly influenced by the anthropometric measurements of the body and the body's adaptability to the environment is the vital capacity of the lungs. The vital capacity is the maximum volume of air that can enter and leave the lungs during one breathing cycle after maximum inspiration and maximum expiration. This study aims to determine the difference in the vital capacity of the lungs in the people in the lowlands of Mataram city and the highlands of Sembalun village. Sampling was done using purposive sampling technique with a sample of 20 people in each research area with an age range of 21-25 years. The data were collected using a simple spirometer made by the researcher. The control variables in this study included gender, age, height, body weight and sample hemoglobin levels. The results showed the average value of vital lung capacity in the lowlands was 2837.5 ml, while the vital capacity of the lungs in the highlands was 2767.5 ml. The results of hypothesis testing were carried out using the Independent Sample t-test using SPSS 16 and the results of the significance value (2-tailed) 0.740> 0.05 so that Ho was accepted, which means that there is no difference in the vital capacity of the lungs in the highlands and lowlands.
