Abstract
Flood represents a temporary cover of water that submerges land, usually not covered by water, which is caused by water overflowing the watercourses. The floods that occur in the area of Zenica-Doboj Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina cause massive damage to agriculture, housing, equipment and civil engineering facilities and can be characterized as hazards. The hydrographic backbone of this Canton is the river Bosna, and the subject of research in this paper is the flood vulnerability in Zenica-Doboj Canton. The result of the work is the production of flood hazard and risk maps using GIS. Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis and visual elements have been used frequently in recent years for detection of flood hazard areas and preparation of maps. GIS applications are based on a database and analysis tools which have logical and mathematical relationships between the layers. When creating the flood hazard map, in addition to GIS tools, Hec-RAS was also used as a program intended for the analysis of hydraulic calculations. The results of this paper are of great importance for spatial planning and environmental protection, starting with local communities, municipalities and the entire Canton. Key-words: Spatial analysis, the Bosnia River, Flood risk, GIS, Physical geography
期刊介绍:
Geographia Technica is a journal devoted to the publication of all papers on all aspects of the use of technical and quantitative methods in geographical research. It aims at presenting its readers with the latest developments in G.I.S technology, mathematical methods applicable to any field of geography, territorial micro-scalar and laboratory experiments, and the latest developments induced by the measurement techniques to the geographical research. Geographia Technica is dedicated to all those who understand that nowadays every field of geography can only be described by specific numerical values, variables both oftime and space which require the sort of numerical analysis only possible with the aid of technical and quantitative methods offered by powerful computers and dedicated software. Our understanding of Geographia Technica expands the concept of technical methods applied to geography to its broadest sense and for that, papers of different interests such as: G.l.S, Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing, Cartography or Geostatistics as well as papers which, by promoting the above mentioned directions bring a technical approach in the fields of hydrology, climatology, geomorphology, human geography territorial planning are more than welcomed provided they are of sufficient wide interest and relevance.
