| Zusammenfassung |
| The aim of this study is to quantify the actual urbanization activity near
the catchment area in the urban area of interest located in the vicinity of
the Agriokalamin River area of Kissonerga Village in Paphos District.
Remotely sensed data such as aerial photos, Landsat-5/7 TM/ETM+ and Quickbird
image data have been used to track the urbanization activity from 1963 to
2008. In-situ GPS measurements have been used to locate in-situ the
boundaries of the catchment area. The results clearly illustrate that
tremendous urban development has taken place ranging from 0.9 to 33% from
1963 to 2008, respectively. A flood risk assessment and hydraulic analysis
were also performed. |
