Journal Title: Analele Universitatii din Oradea, Seria Geografie - Year 2016, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of this research paper is to estimate the vulnerability of the city of Batna to flooding. A multi-criteria analysis has been performed in a geographic information system (GIS) by integrating several features relating to socio-economic stakes with the aim of better understanding, assessing and spatializing the level of vulnerability in the city. Therefore, we have used a customised index approach where each parameter is a numerical index indicating the importance of the stakes, resulting in a code to be used for the modelling.
