Assessment of vulnerability to fluvial floods: Case of municipalities of the Gidra River Basin, Slovakia by Matej Vojtek, Soheyl Moradi

“…Material and methods: Three indicators (number of buildings within a 100 m radius from the watercourse; length of roads within a 100 m radius from the watercourse; and number of bridges over a watercourse) representing the economic vulnerability, and seven indicators of social vulnerability (population density of municipalities; share of residents aged 65+ in the total number of residents; share of unemployed residents in the total number of economically active residents; share of households with six and more persons in the total number of households; share of incomplete households in the total number of households; share of residents without education and with primary education in the the total number of residents; and share of residents with disabilities in the total number of residents) were used to determine the respective economic flood vulnerability sub-index (EFVsI) and social flood vulnerability sub-index (SFVsI). We normalized the original values of indicators using the maximum method and treated all of the indicators as equally important. …”
