Assessing the Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Romanian Part of the Tisza River Basin
Journal Title: Romanian Review of Regional Studies - Year 2011, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Clime change represents a current and important issue; in addition to the disputed global warming, at local or regional levels, floods could also be a consequence of this phenomenon. If the potential effects are assessed in terms of exposure, sensitivity, and vulnerability, a GIS methodology, based on statistical indicators and GIS modelling was used to assess the overall vulnerability of the Tisza river basin and define the flood-prone area. Even though specific indicators exhibited high values in some NUTS III units, the overall vulnerability of the regions appears to be low.
