摘要

过去,基加利经常发生暴雨事件。这些经常导致洪水泛滥,也影响了企业。面对气候变化,此类事件可能会变得更加频繁,并威胁到经济发展。为了确定是否需要采取更多行动来保护企业免受洪水侵袭,我们评估了基加利某个地区在特定年份有多少企业遭受洪水破坏。我们还收集了有关企业如何受到影响、他们如何为洪水做准备以及他们正在寻求什么支持的信息。我们开发并试行了一项调查,这是一项标准化问卷,用于收集洪水对企业相关性的信息。随后,这项调查在基加利的350家企业中进行,询问企业主近年来遭遇洪水的经历。81%的企业在2013年和2014年受到洪水的影响。每年的损失成本相当于该地区企业总净利润的22%。最常见的损害是对将要出售的货物的损害和对建筑物的损害。过去洪水造成的损失程度值得企业和公民以及市政府官员采取行动进行洪水风险管理。适当的行动包括提高对适当保护措施的认识,以及改善污水处理系统。

Estimating damage costs of flooding on small- and medium-sized enterprises in Kigali, Rwanda
In the past, Kigali has frequently experienced heavy rain events. These have often led to flooding, which also affected businesses. In the face of climate change, such events can become more frequent and can threaten economic development. To determine if more action is needed to protect businesses from flooding, we assessed how many businesses have suffered damages from floods in certain years in a certain area of Kigali. We also gathered information on how businesses were affected, how they are preparing for flooding and what support they are seeking. We developed and piloted a survey, a standardised questionnaire for gathering information on the relevance of flooding for businesses. The survey was then conducted among 350 businesses in Kigali asking business owners about their experiences with flooding in recent years. Eighty-one per cent of businesses have been affected by floods in 2013 and 2014. The annual damage costs resemble 22% of the total net profit of the businesses in the area. The most common damages were damages to goods that were to be sold and damages to buildings. The extent of past flood damages warrants action on flood risk management, both by businesses and citizens, as well as by city officials. Suitable actions range from increasing awareness about suitable protection measures to upgrading the sewage system.
