Due to the persistently high frequency of flood-related disasters, which are exacerbated by the on-going effects of climate change, the impacts of flooding on cities and towns can be devastating and deadly, resulting in the need to design and assessment of flood protection object (FPO). In their preparation, implementation, evaluation and authorization it is necessary to ensure consistent application of the environmental impact assessment (EIA). This paper explores the benefits of using the risk assessment/ analysis technique in the evaluation of FPO by examining the results of the EIA for a selected planned FPO in Slovakia. The methodology consists of three steps: identification, prediction and evaluation of the impacts of flood protection measures on the environment. Risk analysis (RA), based on determination of probability and consequences, is an appropriate tool to determine the level of the risk of the proposed flood mitigation measures and through which it is possible to choose the alternative with the lowest level of risk for the environment. This paper introduces an application of a new approach for risk assessment of actions in water management (FPO projects) using risk analysis method – universal matrix of risk analysis (UMRA) and matrix of qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment. Analysis and evaluation of environmental impacts of FPO in Snakov village on the environment prove that construction of polder is better alternative for flood protection of village than water course regulation.

the concept of green infrastructure (Gi) development is promoted worldwide within planning of urban spatial systems. it implies the application of resilience and sustainability considerations in spatial and more specifically transportation planning. the purpose of this article is to assess the linking of incentives to promote green infrastructure development through transdisciplinary planning processes by integrating and mainstreaming related disciplines and planning in general. spatial planning traditionally deals with specific instruments and methodologies focussing on developing the natural, socioeconomic and built environment. transportation planning, due to its integration with land use planning, focuses on movement systems and implies intraand intermovement of people, goods and services supporting development and growth in urban spatial systems. in decision-making for statutory planning, the impact of development is used to levy service contributions in urban areas. it includes the calculation of financial contributions to access conventional infrastructure services networks in terms of specific development policies and priorities. limited incentives exist to promote, integrate and mainstream green development practices in land use and transportation planning. linking and alignment of Gi to brown and grey space planning and development processes is essential to promote inclusivity in ecosystem service (es) attainment. this goal and objective requires development contribution policies inclusive of equitable incentives to promote green planning approaches and principles in planning processes. it implies application of alternative transdisciplinary practices in spatial planning, urban design, transportation and the provision of infrastructure in general. development goes beyond the limits of an individual discipline, site, neighbourhood, town, region or any related spatial and/functional entity and should be linked to system-wide approaches to enhance and integrate es development in a transdisciplinary way. in attaining this challenge, spatial and transportation planning processes have an important role to fulfil.
