“…The physical expansion of urban areas often arose at the expense of natural space [ 63 ] and rapid urban growth posed pressure on sustainable development and led to a high flood risk. Additionally, the increased impervious areas ought to adopt responsibility for more frequent flood events.…”

Flooding is a serious challenge that increasingly affects residents as well as policymakers. Many studies have noted that decreasing the urban flood vulnerability (UFV) is an indispensable strategy for reducing flood risks; however, some studies have several pertinent assessment limitations. The objective of this study is to assess the UFV of the Xuanwu‒Qinhuai‒Jianye‒Gulou‒Yuhua (XQJGY) region from 2012 to 2018 by integrating various indicators into a composite index. This study uses the environment for visualizing images (ENVI) and the geographic information system (GIS) to extract indicators that have geographic attributes for the assessment of UFV and the process analysis method is then used to explore the relationship between these indicators. The results indicated that: (1) The UFV of Xuanwu, Qinhuai, and Gulou decreased from 2012 to 2018 and the UFV of Jianye and Gulou increased from 2012 to 2015 and decreased from 2015 to 2018. (2) The vegetation coverage, precipitation during the flood season, population density, and highway density significantly contributed to the UFV. (3) There also exist transformation pathways between the indicators that led to vulnerability in five districts. This study provides a theoretical basis for the government to manage floods.

“…Knowledge gaps also exist in identifying effective strategies for engaging and educating communities about the benefits of GBGI, 174 , 175 as well as promoting sustainable practices, such as water conservation and urban greening, to integrate GBGI into urban design. 176 There is a need for research that explores the governance structures, policy frameworks, stakeholder engagement strategies, and the social, cultural, and economic factors influencing the adoption of GBGI.…”

“…The fast growth of the population and unrestrained urbanization as a consequence has heavily overtasked the drainage infrastructure in the city not only by intensifying the problems around ooding, but also by causing other issues. Urban development through building of roads, residential areas, and agricultural elds without proper storm water management systems in various regions of the city provokes the accumulation of pooled water on streets, residential housing and farms during heavy rainfall (Kaur & Gupta, 2022). Alongside with those, it facilitates troubles for the local citizens as well as destructs infrastructure and farming activities.…”

This study assessed the factors contributing to flooding and adaptation strategies employed by residents of the Tamale Metropolis to mitigate the effects of flooding in the Northern Region, Ghana. The research used mixed research approach that was descriptive with data collection by both quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition, 400 residents from the Tamale Metropolis were sampled, and the data were analyzed through a not ordered least square (OLS) model and Kendall's coefficient concordance. The research has the overall performances of the model come out by using the R-squared and Adjusted R-squared values, which amount to the 0.745 and 0.720, respectively. Furthermore, flood incidence as an independent variable in the regression analysis has a positive coefficient of 1.678, which means that a rising flood incidence is linked to an intensification of flooding in Tamale Metropolis. Besides, the research found that the two adaptation measures being the use of flood barriers and sandbags were the most favored by the population. The fact that the usage of emergency supplies is based at the last position among the adaption strategies which are meant to avert the negative effects of flooding has been ranked as the least employed strategy of mitigating the effects of flooding. The results showed that during the flood season, water level rise, infrastructural damages, poor land use classification, economic status, water supply systems, sanitation facilities, roads network, the presence of low-lying areas, agricultural land, and government agencies have a major influence on the flooding situation in the Tamale Metropolis. This study recommends that the urban planning guidelines of the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly should be enforced and implemented to oversee the management and planning of the land use, management of unplanned development and reduction of the ecological degradation by infrastructure around flooding.
