| Zusammenfassung |
| Geomophological hazard assessment is an important component of natural
hazard risk assessment. This paper presents GIS-based geomorphological
hazard mapping in the Red Sea area between Safaga and Quseir, Egypt. This
includes the integration of published geological, geomorphological, and
other data into GIS, and generation of new map products, combining
governmental concerns and legal restrictions. Detailed geomorphological
hazard maps for flooding zones and earth movement potential, especially
along the roads and railways, have been prepared. Further the paper
illustrates the application of vulnerability maps dealing with the effect of
hazard on urban areas, tourist villages, industrial facilities, quarries,
and road networks. These maps can help to initiate appropriate measures to
mitigate the probable hazards in the area. |
