| Zusammenfassung |
| In the past two decades, episodes of flooding on the coast of Alicante
(Spain) have led to substantial losses in human life in economic terms. With
increased exposure to these phenomena comes also increased vulnerability.
Given the various effects of flooding in areas of similar exposure,
differences in vulnerability across regions at risk need to be analysed also
in terms of the socioeconomic factors of the groups of society that may be
affected, and of their perception of risk. This paper studies the increased
risk of flooding in three locations on the Alicante coast as a result of
urban occupation of areas subject to this hazard. The consequences of the
most recent episodes in this area are analysed and a risk assessment, using
survey-based research in the affected areas, is performed. |
