“…Por ende, la GCR es un enfoque que busca fomentar la participación efectiva de las comunidades en la identificación, manejo y evaluación de los riesgos a los que se enfrentan las personas que constituyen una comunidad (Puzyreva & de Vries, 2021). Según Obi et al, (2021) se trata de un modelo que corresponsabiliza a las instituciones idóneas en la gestión del riesgo y a las propias comunidades en la toma de decisiones, generando así lazos y una cultura de prevención y resiliencia. Es importante mencionar que este enfoque puede operar independientemente del apoyo institucional y basarse en las experiencias previas y fenómenos naturales vividos por las comunidades (Nugroho et al, 2022).…”

“…Según Holt-Giménez (2002) y Räsänen et al, (2020) la GCR permite manejar el conocimiento local frente a los eventos hidrometeorológico y reflexionar sobre la preparación de las comunidades para la resiliencia. Para Obi et al, (2021); Puzyreva & de Vries, (2021), cuando los gobiernos o entidades no responden de forma óptima ante las inundaciones, las comunidades locales pueden lograr un trabajo colectivo de gestión del desastre. Se encontró, de acuerdo con los participantes, que las comunidades de estudio actuaron bajo la unión y la intervención comunitaria en vista de la carencia de gestión del riesgo.…”

Los eventos hidrometeorológicos tienen un impacto significativo en la estructura social y territorial. Las comunidades que han vivido la experiencia de estos eventos proporcionan testimonios sobre cómo han enfrentado estas situaciones. El objetivo del estudio fue sistematizar las experiencias vividas de gestión comunitaria del riesgo (GCR), después de los eventos hidrometeorológicos de Ingrid y Manuel en tres localidades del municipio de Coyuca de Benítez, México. Para recabar la información fue necesario el enfoque cualitativo testimonial. Se construyó un mapa de actores para identificar a las partes interesadas y se realizaron siete entrevistas semiestructuradas con muestreo intencional a los tomadores de decisiones que voluntariamente participaron. La información recopilada se analizó mediante análisis del discurso. La delimitación del área de estudio se llevó a cabo utilizando ArcMap e imágenes satelitales. Los tomadores de decisiones manifestaron en sus testimonios una falta de preparación para enfrentar los eventos hidrometeorológicos de Íngrid y Manuel. La comunicación y la solidaridad surgieron como factores clave dentro de la comunidad para hacer frente a los eventos. Las comunidades consideraron que los eventos de Íngrid y Manuel permitieron la implementación de un sistema de alerta con participación comunitaria, y reconocieron la necesidad de una planificación territorial basada en los riesgos de inundación en la zona baja del río Coyuca. Es crucial capacitar tanto a nivel institucional como comunitario para hacer frente al riesgo de inundaciones. Los eventos de Íngrid y Manuel dejaron importantes lecciones, como la necesidad de aumentar la capacidad instalada del municipio y generar estrategias efectivas

“…The results of identification that have been carried out in flood research in urban environments, it is known that flood disaster management efforts can be supported by information from flood simulation models based on document reviews and social networks [15]. Actions to reduce flood risk can be based on the integration of customary community systems mixed with modern flood management strategies [16]. In addition, social capital that can be used in flood disaster management is social capital for the prevention of flood impacts, flood moments, and flood impact recovery [17].…”

Flood disasters in urban areas have become a frequent occurrence, especially in cities with high activities. The climate change phenomenon marked by increased rainfall also triggers the risk of flooding in urban areas. The flood disaster also occurred in the Kaliwungu District, which is one of the urban areas in the Kendal Regency, Central Java Province. The causes of flooding in urban areas is the failure of the drainage system to accommodate flood overflows. System failure in urban areas can affect the functioning of all systems in urban areas. This is supported by the high complexity of the urban system that influences each other, there are physical, social, and economic components of the community. There are two main questions in this research, namely “What forms the relationship between urban systems and disaster risk management?” and “How are urban systems and disaster risk management related to reducing flood disasters? So the aim this research is achieved of this study is to examine the relationship between urban systems and disaster risk management in an effort to reduce flood disasters. This research uses a descriptive case study method, which is based on qualitative material from various sources, including scientific articles, observation of the study site, and in-depth interviews. This study seeks to reveal the relationship between urban systems and flood risk management. The thing that links between urban systems and flood risk management is the main role of urban system functions in efforts to reduce flood disasters through comprehensive and complex disaster risk management. Thus, the urban system and disaster risk management must be interrelated in the preparation of urban spatial plans.

“…Flooding incidents in Africa's semi-arid and dry regions have not only resulted in physical harm, health effects, and financial losses but also in environmental degradation, homelessness, displacement, a shortage of food and water, disruption of social activities, and immobility [13,14]. Similarly, in the Gash River of Kassala, repeated flood events have had disastrous impacts, resulting in the loss of human life, destruction of property, and agricultural losses [15,16].…”

Sediment precipitation in riverbeds influences the effectiveness of structural and non-structural measures for flash flood mitigation and increases the potential for flooding. This study aimed to disclose the effectiveness of the implemented measures for flood risk mitigation in Kassala town, eastern Sudan. We employed remote sensing (RS) and GIS techniques to determine the change in the Gash River riverbed, the morphology, and the leveling of both the eastern and western sides of the river. Flood model simulation and a 3D path profile were generated using the digital elevation model (DEM) with a data resolution of 12.5 m from the ALOS BILSAR satellite. The main purpose of this study is to extract the layer of elevation of the riverbed on both the western and eastern banks and to determine the variations and their relationship to flood occurrence and mitigation. The construction of dikes and spurs near Kassala town has led to sediment precipitation, causing the riverbed to rise. The results show that it is now 1.5 m above the eastern Kassala town level, with a steep slope of 2 m/km, and the cross-section area at Kassala bridge has shrunk, which indicates that the bridge body will partially impede the river’s high discharge and increase the potential for flood risk in the study area. The eastern part of Kassala town has a higher likelihood of flooding than the western side. This study suggests redesigning structural measures like widening the Gash River, extending Kassala bridge for normal water flow, strengthening early warning systems, and implementing soil conservation activities for normal water flow.
