Urbanization is leading to increasing impervious surface area and urban population. On the other hand, extreme weather leads to stronger rainfall events, resulting in increased surface runoff that generates more severe flooding events in urban areas. Since existing studies do not discuss the relationships between spatial patterns of urban land use and flooding disasters, which are important in successful planning strategies for flood risk mitigations, this study applies quantitative landscape indices to describe the spatial pattern of urban land use from the perspective of landscape ecology. In addition, this study simulates flooding situations in urban areas through a dynamic flood model, then applies statistical analysis to investigate the relationship between the two. The analysis indicates that the built-up areas have the highest degree of aggregation. Urban flooding is then simulated using the FLO-2D model. Simulation results reveal that the flooded area and the average flooding depth have increased from 1995 to 2015. Finally, multiple linear regression analysis is performed to examine the relationship between indices of land use patterns (including Percentage of Landscape (PLAND), Aggregation Index (AI), Patch Cohesion Index (COHESION), Landscape Division Index (DIVISION), Patch Density (PD) and Edge Density (ED)) and flooding potentials on the village scale. Analytical results show that the spatial patterns of built-up, agriculture and transportation uses affected flooding patterns the most. In conclusion, the relationship between flooding potential and urban spatial patterns is understood based on the framework developed in this research. According to the analytical results, flooding potentials are significantly affected by the spatial patterns of built-up areas. Flood risk can be mitigated in the future by comprehensively planning and configuring the spatial patterns of builtup areas, and avoided high degrees of aggregation and connectivity in built-up areas. The framework established in this work is presented as a tool for improving current flooding conditions in future urban spatial planning processes. |
