Risk-based floodplain management: A case study from Greece
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of engineering risk analysis and multi-objective decision-making under risk are considered as tools for floodplain management and extreme flood protection. Distinction is made between (a) the catchment or large scale planning and (b) the local or small-scale design of protection measures. After defining the risk of flooding at different scales and specifying the multiple criteria that must be considered when choosing between alternative measures of floodplain protection and management, the methodology used is illustrated in a case study from Greece (Giofyros Basin, Crete Island), where a devastating flash flood occurred on 13th January 1994. Possible remedial structural and non-structural solutions are analysed in order protect the inhabited area and important public buildings from future extreme floods.

متن کاملDependence of Default Probability and Recovery Rate in Structural Credit Risk Models: Empirical Evidence from Greece
The main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. We examine the dependence between PD and RR by theoretical approach. For the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. These methods allow to determinate...
