Flood Risk Mapping Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)—An Overview of Current Practices
Flood risk mapping (FRM) is an essential tool for determining the risk and susceptibility of flood-prone locations. FRM constitutes various criteria and factors that require a methodical and comprehensive decision-making framework. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a popular multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) technique for dealing with complicated problems, including qualitative and quantitative factors. This study explores the applicability of AHP for developing flood risk maps and provides a thorough overview of various AHP-based methods applied in recent times for economical flood risk mapping. The study analyses 25 research articles to enumerate different hazard and vulnerability factors various researchers have used for flood risk mapping. The review concluded that distance from river channels, high rainfall data, land use land cover, elevation, rainfall deviation, low slope and dense network lay the foundation for a spatial multicriteria decision framework to assess the flood risk for vulnerable regions. AHP can provide a dependable and robust framework for mapping flood hazards in numerous scenarios and circumstances. It can be concluded that AHP should be employed for flood risk mapping because it can potentially help the precise identification of flood-prone areas and mitigation measures.
