Academia Română Geographia Napocensis Anul IX, Nr. 1, 2015 QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF MULTI-VULNERABILITY TO HYDRO-GEOMORFOLOGICAL HAZARDS IN THE UPPER SECTOR OF NIRAJ CATCHMENT 1 SANDA ROȘCA Abstract. - Quantitative Evaluation Of Multi-Vulnerability To Hydro-Geomorfological Hazards In The High Sector Of Niraj Catchment. A study of the natural hazards indicates that floods, landslides, fluvial erosion and soil erosion have the highest spatial-temporal occurrence and lead to the highest material losses in the study area of the Niraj Basin. The present study focuses on the upper section of1/2015 the Niraj basin, one that still evolving from a hydrological and geomorphological point of view, without any major anthropic interference. Due to its favourability for the establishing of settlements (a consequencenr, of favourable slopes, fertile lands and water resources), the most of the human settlements are situated in the floodplain area, hence in the most flood-prone area during spring and autumn. The rest of the settlements lie on the inferior sectors of the hillslopes, as well as on the valleys of the main tributaryIX, rivers of the Niraj, hence being exposed to the reactivated landslides- a consequence of the abundant rainfall events usually leading to floods. A cumulated approach of a multi-vulnerability type has beenAN chosen, one that allows the classifying of the built-up area and roads into spatial classes exposed to the identified natural hazards. Spatial analysis led to the obtaining of quantitative information concerning the number of constructions and the length of roads that can be exposed once the hydro-geomorphological processes have reactivated. Key-words: vulnerability, flood-prone area, landslide, risk exposure, Niraj basin 1. Introduction of the statistical analysis of data series obtained The quantifying of vulnerability and risk from previous measurements (Roșca et al., 2014). generated by floods and landslidesNAPOCENSIS is necessary Concerning landslides, the identification of to be expressed in qualitative terms, but even cumulated rainfall values considered as thresholds more so in quantitative ones, for the sake of good in the analysed territory is mandatory (Crozier management in the process of establishing the 1997, Schmidt and Dikau 2004, Polemio and priorities for the possible emergencies, as the EU Petrucci 2010). Offices dedicated to the directive (EPA, 2003) recommends, directive in identifying of the risk exposed elements have been which the principles of thegeographianapocensis.acad-cluj.ro multi-risk study are set in Europe, in countries such as Belgium, enumerated (Marzocchi et al., 2009). The authors France, Germany, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, mention that this method allows a comparison Hungary, Romania, Poland and Slovakia and hierarchyGEOGRAPHIA of the natural hazards and their (www.eurosense.com). Urban planning authorities derived effects. Applying a common and risk strategists can obtain valuable methodology implies a probabilistic analysis of information from the hazard analyses individual risk, namely that of terrain accomplished at a local, regional or national scale vulnerability when it comes to the risk generating (Cascini et al., 2005, Fell et al., 2008). processes in the territorial equation. The vulnerability concept reffers to the The spatial identification of the flood and exposure and capacity characterising the risk landslides associated risk, in hydrology, is elements to resist to the hazardous determined by the establishing of floodplain areas conditions/the occured damages. For damage for different probabilities, computed on the basis identification, the authors take into account the 1 Babeş-Bolyai University, Faculty of Geography, 400006, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] 67 Sanda Roşca spatial-temporal probability of floods and taken place in 12. 07. 2009 when 5 houses and 7 landslides as well as the vulnerability of the households were damaged, 7 small bridges were people in the area and of the exposed elements destroyed and traffic was disrupted on 0,1 km of (Corominas, 2008). From a conceptual and road as well as 1, 2 ha of agricultural terrain were methodological point of view, the identifying of flooded (according to the data of the Inspectorate exposed elements and their vulnerability is for Emergency Situations, Mureș). necessary in the multi-risk studies allowing the The morphometric characteristics of the relief identification and analysis of individual risk and play an important role on the production and of the cumulated risk (Cutter, 2001). evolution of hydrological phenomena; hence it is Hence it is important that a vulnerability and important to take into account the shape of the risk class be assigned to each unit of the hydrographic basin, given by the direction and administrative territory. Risk zoning consists in orientation of the water divide, which determines the division of the analysed territory in the runoff characteristics. Secondly, the river homogenous areas according to their present or length and the water discharge1/2015 of the tributary presumed susceptibility degree, hazard, flood rivers, closely connected with the altitude of a and landslide risk (Corominas, 2008). An open basin (Zăvoianu, 2006)nr, need to be considered as subject stays, nonetheless, the establishment of well. The hydrographic basin was divided in the acceptable risk (tolerated risk) concerning subwatersheds withIX, the help of the ArcHydro9 damages when it comes to the authorities‟ point extension of the ArcG.I.S software.

The eco-hydrological model, Soil and Water Integrated Model (SWIM), was applied on the Mures River basin, calibrated and validated against records at a gauging station in Alba-Julia town. A set of nine future projections for climatic parameters under one emissions scenario A1B over the period 1971–2100 were fed into the SWIM model. To provide functional link between hydrological regimes and riverine ecosystems, each of the nine simulated discharge time series were introduced into the IHA (Indicators of Hydrological Alterations) tool. Triggered changes in hydrological patterns of the Mures River were assessed at the basin and sub-basin scales.

Because of its complex landforms, the anthropic pressure and the irrational use of land on large surfaces, the Basin of Niraj River was the object of a reorganising process in the production activities, by emphasising the agricultural land use as a resource for sustainable development, which has been too long underexploited. The technique of capability classification, in collaboration with the GIS techniques of spatial analysis, represents one of the most facile and concrete ways of identifying and creating an inventory of lands which fulfil the best conditions for the creation of orchards, through the use of specific indicators: climatic, morphometric, morphologic, pedologic.

  • Using Gis Tools in Niraj River Fluvial Morphodynamics
    Using Gis Tools in Niraj River Fluvial Morphodynamics Sanda ROŞCA1, Ioan RUS2, Dănuţ PETREA3 Abstract. Lately, the role of computerization has increased thus to the existence of software and its use has become indispensable as a result of its applicability to all Earth sciences. The Niraj minor and major riverbeds present a varied morphology and instability in some sections; due to rainfall intensity and flashfloods growing frequency the potential erosion of the river has increased, 28 settlements being situated in proximity of the river. Thus, we have used GIS technologies to identify the relations of interconnection and interdependency between causative factors, relying upon measurements of changes; in this way we want to emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of using the tools provided by GIS technologies. Keywords: fluvial morphodynamics, meander, vulnerability, G.I.S., Niraj river 1. Introduction allow not only cartographic representation of the phenomena, but also one that achieves The analytical, quantitative and qualitative approach interconnection and interdependence between of this paper, based on available data and causal factors based on actual measurements of the information wants to serve to a better understanding riverbed changes. of the possibility of using GIS technologies in the Due to its positioning at the contact area of the study of fluvial morphodynamics as a geographic main morphostructural units, mountains and phenomenon which induces a potential risk. Thus Carpathian foothills, the area is characterized by we have studied the genetic factors, qualitative and break of slopes, changes in the river flow and quantitative characteristics and also its important contribution of solid flow. The alluvium consequences in the geographic environment.
