Abstract

Floods represent the most destructive and most occurring natural hazard in Slovakia and it is necessary to advert full attention from scientific community, policy makers and population. This paper is focused on the integrated flood risk management and issues connected with it. In first section we describe drivers of the change in perception of flood risk and impact on its management. Next, we define core principles of integrated flood risk management, and characterize objective and spatial aspect. In the final part we are focused on multicriteria analysis. This decision support system, provide best methods in support of choosing best alternative to decreasing flood risk. Characteristic of all steps included in multicriteria analysis is followed by examples from works, that use it as decision support system in flood risk management related issues.
