Development of a new integrated flood resilience model using machine learning with GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis

Muhammad Hussain et al.

Summary: Flood resilience assessment is crucial for understanding a community's ability to withstand and recover from flood disasters. However, quantifying and operationalizing resilience remains challenging. This study proposes a novel flood resilience model, CapFlooR-M, which integrates machine learning, GIS, RS, and AHP. The model incorporates different components such as flood hazard susceptibility, coping capacity, adaptive capacity, and transformative capacity. By using RF and SVM models, a susceptibility map is created, and AHP is utilized to compute the relative scores of core capacities. The integration of these maps with overlay analysis in GIS produces a flood resilience map. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for policymakers and planners in building resilience against flood hazards.
