MÉTODO DE ANÁLISE HIERÁRQUICA (AHP) APLICADO A INUNDAÇÃO URBANA APÓS EVENTO DE CHUVA CONCENTRADO

Abstract

The main objective of this article was to spatialize the flood spots of the Municipality of Vitória in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, from the Analysis Hierarchical Process (AHP), validating the mapping in documents, photographic records, and field work in a larger event concentrated rainfall of the last 45 years. The result allowed defining and calculating the flood areas in degrees of susceptibility and proving their efficiency in data and information. Such methodology allows the evaluation of other areas of municipalities and regions with similar characteristics, constituting important information in aid of territorial management, for example, the implementation or revision of Urban Drainage Plan and Municipal Director Plan.
