| Zusammenfassung |
| The Danube River basin has long been the location of significant flooding
problems across central Europe. The last decade has seen a sharp increase in
the frequency, duration and intensity of these flood events, unveiling a dire
need for enhanced flood management policy and tools in the region. Located in
the southern portion of Austria, the state of Carinthia has experienced a
significant volume of intense flood impacts over the last decade. Although
the Austrian government has acknowledged these issues, their remedial actions
have been primarily structural to date. Continued focus on controlling the
natural environment through infrastructure while disregarding the need to
consider alternative forms of assessing flood exposure will only act as a
provisional solution to this inescapable risk. In an attempt to remedy this
flaw, this paper highlights the application of geospatial predictive
analytics and spatial recovery index as a proxy for community resilience, as
well as the cultural challenges associated with the application of foreign
models within an Austrian environment. |
