Abstract
One of the most destructive natural catastrophes in the globe is flooding. Every year flood causes huge losses of lives and properties. To reduce the losses caused by the flood it is essential to know the resilience of the local inhabitants. In the present study flood resilience has been analysed in the lower catchment area of the Mayurakshi river basin using economic, social, physical, infrastructural and natural indicators. For this study 434 flood affected villages have been selected of the lower catchment area that are frequently affected by the flood. For analysing the flood resilience fuzzy-analytical hierarchical process (F-AHP) has been used. After normalizing and calculating the weight of the variables linear sum up method has been applied for producing the social, economic, physical, infrastructural, natural and overall flood resilience maps. According to the produced maps the overall flood resilience for the villages located in the confluence area are very low. Nearly 19.94% of the selected mouzas have very low flood resilience. So, in the mouzas immediate governmental help is needed to cope up with the flood. The present work will be help full for the planner for formulating the strategies to reduce the effect of flood in the lower catchment area of Mayurakshi river basin.
