西孟加拉邦穆尔什达巴德区的坎迪街区位于马尤拉克希-德瓦卡平原。这是穆尔什达巴德受洪水影响最严重的街区之一。过去十年洪水的平均发生频率为8次。本研究结合洪水灾害的物理、社会和经济指标，编制了村级坎迪区块的脆弱性图。 PCA 分析已应用于脆弱性指数的计算。结果表明，生物物理暴露和脆弱性指数存在差异。
Kandi block of Murshidabad district, West Bengal is situated in the Mayurakshi-Dwarka Plain. This is one of the maximum flood-affected blocks in Murshidabad. The average frequency of occurrence of floods in the last decade is 8. This study prepares a vulnerability map of Kandi block at village level combining physical, social and economic indicators of flood hazard. PCA analysis has been applied for computation of vulnerability indices. The results reveal that there is a difference in biophysical exposure and vulnerability index.
