Assessment of economic urban flood damage estimation with cases of South-East Asian megacities

在此期间，穆罕默德·凯菲博士试图把重点放在他工作的其他目标上。事实上，他研究的主要目的是利用以空间分析为基础的多学科方法，评估亚洲特大城市5（05）个城市河流流域的城市洪水造成的直接和有形损害。研究结果在几次会议和研讨会上公布，并在上一财政年度2017财年发表了论文。因此，在2018财年期间考虑了另一个产出。Kefi博士试图研究洪水损害评估与人们认知之间的关系。为此，Kefi博士致力于数学规划和统计分析。他使用GAMS软件，他强调在最佳情况下使用最相关的措施来减少潜在的洪水破坏，从而获得更多的效益。该分析仍处于初步阶段，在发表并在会议上发表之前，还需要进行一些改进。Kefi还专注于传播他在东南特大城市洪水破坏方面的研究成果。2018年4月，他在美国奥兰多举行的国际会议上发表了题为《基于gis的气候和土地利用变化影响下城市洪涝灾害评估方法：来自东南亚的案例研究》的报告。今年8月，他还受邀在筑波举行的新ARENA启动研讨会上发表了他的研究活动。他还撰写了一篇研究论文，将提交给同行评议的期刊。

During this period, Dr. Mohamed Kefi tried to focus on additional objectives of his work. In fact, the main objective of his research is to assess the direct and tangible damage by urban flooding in five (05) urban river watersheds in Asian megacities using multidisciplinary approach mainly based on spatial analysis. The results were presented in several conferences and workshops and papers were also published during last previous fiscal year FY2017. For this reason, another output was considered during period FY2018. Dr. Kefi tried to look on the relationship between flood damage assessment and people perception. For this context, Dr. Kefi worked on mathematic programming and statistical analysis. He used GAMS software and he emphasized on optimal situation of the use of the most relevant measure to reduce potential flood damage and consequently to get more benefit. The analysis is still preliminary step and some improvements should be done prior to be published and presented in conferences.Dr. Kefi have also focus on dissemination of his results related to flood damage in South-East Megacities. He gave a presentation about GIS-Based Approach to Evaluate Urban Flood Damages under the Impact of Climate and Land Use Changes: Case Studies from Southeast Asia at International conference held in Orlando in April, 2018. He also was invited to give a talk about his research activities during the New ARENA Kickoff Symposium in Tsukuba in August. He also worked on a research paper which will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
