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

在此期间，Mohamed Kefi博士试图将重点放在其工作的其他目标上。事实上，他的研究的主要目标是使用主要基于空间分析的多学科方法，评估亚洲特大城市五（05）个城市河流流域的城市洪水造成的直接和有形损失。研究结果在多个会议和研讨会上进行了展示，并在上一个财政年度2017财年发表了论文。因此，于二零一八财政年度期间考虑另一项产出。 Kefi博士试图研究洪水损失评估与人们感知之间的关系。为此，Kefi博士从事数学编程和统计分析。他使用GAMS软件，强调使用最相关措施的最佳情况，以减少潜在的洪水损失，从而获得更多的利益。分析仍然是初步的步骤，在发表和在会议上提出之前应该做一些改进。Kefi博士还专注于传播他与东南大城市洪水破坏有关的结果。他在2018年4月于奥兰多举行的国际会议上发表了关于基于GIS的方法评估气候和土地利用变化影响下的城市洪水灾害：东南亚案例研究的演讲。8月在筑波举行的新竞技场启动研讨会上，他还应邀发表了关于他的研究活动的演讲。他还撰写了一篇研究论文，将提交给一份同行评审期刊。

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.
