An Investigation on Building Regulation and Guidance for Flood Risk Control in Built-up Area by Municipality

Abstract

It is estimated that climate change will increase the occurrence frequency of large-scale flood in the future. The improvement of evacuation is important in short term, but the building of flood-resistant city is also necessary in mid and long term, preparing for the future when the adverse effect of climate change is notable. Hence we investigated the actual situation of flood countermeasures by municipal regulation and guidance in built-up area. This investigation will lead to the discussion to improve the flood counter measure in built-up area.[This abstract is not included in the PDF]
