Abstract
Flood is the most critical natural disaster in Asia. It is also the most affected disaster in Cambodia. The solution must be made to manage the disaster from being interrupting people. The purposes of the study are to identify the 2011 flood impact spatial distribution, evaluate how RS has been applied to flood analysis, and assess the gaps of RS for flood analysis over Cambodia. The flood impact can be calculated by using a weighted arithmetic mean (WAM). The flood studies can be accessed through several literary databases. The 2011 flood impacts commonly located in the regions of Tonle Sap and Mekong River. Furthermore, other regions were affected. Fourteen articles have been found, which are six flood hazard mappings, seven flood risk assessments, and one flood damage assessment. Most of the study covered the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake catchments; however, there are still lacking studies over other affected areas. Besides, flood forecasting and flood early warning were not paid attention. Due to the limitation of rain gauge stations, RS is very important to apply for flood studies. Likewise, the radar composite with the neighboring countries is useful since some parts of the borders were blocked by the mountains. In brief, this review could generate greater ideas and solutions for further flood studies efficiency. Key-words: Flood, Remote Sensing, GIS, TRMM, Cambodia
期刊介绍:
Geographia Technica is a journal devoted to the publication of all papers on all aspects of the use of technical and quantitative methods in geographical research. It aims at presenting its readers with the latest developments in G.I.S technology, mathematical methods applicable to any field of geography, territorial micro-scalar and laboratory experiments, and the latest developments induced by the measurement techniques to the geographical research. Geographia Technica is dedicated to all those who understand that nowadays every field of geography can only be described by specific numerical values, variables both oftime and space which require the sort of numerical analysis only possible with the aid of technical and quantitative methods offered by powerful computers and dedicated software. Our understanding of Geographia Technica expands the concept of technical methods applied to geography to its broadest sense and for that, papers of different interests such as: G.l.S, Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing, Cartography or Geostatistics as well as papers which, by promoting the above mentioned directions bring a technical approach in the fields of hydrology, climatology, geomorphology, human geography territorial planning are more than welcomed provided they are of sufficient wide interest and relevance.
