Goal and objectives of the project

- Assess the impact of traffic routes (highways, national highways, coastal roads, crossroads) on flooding in Dien Ban, Duy Xuyen, Que Son, Thang Binh and Hoi city districts An.
- Proposing solutions to minimize the impact of roads to flooding in coastal areas
- Develop a set of decision support tools for flood control and inundation

Main results

Theoretical results: Supplementing methodologies and research methods when studying the impact of roads on flooding in coastal districts
Applied results: Provide a scientific basis for building and developing infrastructure for socio- economic development purposes from the perspective of sustainable development.

Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results

- Assessment of flooding in coastal areas of Quang Nam province under the impact of traffic routes, thereby proposing scientific basis for solutions to minimize impacts.
- The project has built a database of flood maps of historical flood years and design frequency
- Build a website to support flood calculation
- Promote the development of applied geography and geographic information systems in disaster prevention and control

Recommendations

Flood and inundation are the leading types of natural disasters causing heavy damage to economic development, stabilizing people's lives and the environment in the downstream Vu Gia - Thu Bon river basin. Under the impact of climate change, climate extremes tend to appear with increasing severity, and along with the development of infrastructure in the region, damage caused by floods and inundation floods are getting bigger and bigger.
Therefore, it is suggested that the People's Committee of Quang Nam province allow the decision support tool built by the topic to be connected to the website of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control at the address: http://pctt.quangnam.vn/ . With this toolkit, it will create favorable conditions for managers in approving planning, building infrastructure as well as making decisions to reduce risks of natural disasters and floods. Besides, it is also a channel to provide information to communities in disaster-prone areas, increasing the resilience of socio-economic infrastructure to extreme weather and floods.
In the coming time, in order to ensure flood drainage and reduce damage caused by inundation, it is necessary to continue to study to identify flood drainage corridors for Thu Bon River, to study the scientific basis for river dredging and clearing. bottlenecks, building estuary stabilization works.
