Contributed to project titled:
"Geo-Spatial Flood Susceptibility Modelling Using Analytical Hierarchy Process: A Case Study in the Southwestern Coastal Region of Bangladesh".
Goal:
Develop integrated flood-susceptibility model for Patuakhali district to serve as a decision-support tool for proactive risk management.
Objectives:
To create a composite flood hazard map using AHP and GIS.
To assess spatial variations in social vulnerability.
To generate a comprehensive flood risk map to identify priority intervention zones.
Responsibilities:
Data Collection & Analysis: Acquired and preprocessed geospatial datasets (DEM, slope, LULC, population density).
Geospatial Processing: Used GIS to create standardized thematic maps for multi-criteria analysis.
Validation & Synthesis: Assisted in AHP integration to produce final hazard, vulnerability, and risk maps.
Writing & Review: Supported literature review and manuscript drafting.
Key Outcomes:
Identified elevation (32% weight) and population density (45% weight) as the dominant flood risk factors.
Produced three publication-ready maps (hazard, vulnerability, risk); the final map classified 10% of the region as "Very High Risk"
Mapped the precise spatial distribution of all risk criteria via GIS overlay analysis.
Established a replicable AHP-GIS framework for flood mapping in data-scarce coastal regions.
Skills Gained:
Geospatial Data Curation & Thematic Mapping.
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (AHP) for Spatial Planning.
Integrated Flood Risk (Hazard + Vulnerability) Assessment.
Academic Writing and Literature Synthesis.
