Abstract: Based on GIS, an Urban Flood Damage Evaluation System (UFDES) for Shanghai City has been developed, which includes spatial geographic analysis, database, numerical simulation and modern statistical techniques. Distributions of population and assets, as well as calculation results, can be represented. Incorporated with urban flood numerical simulation model, an integrated spatial Model for Urban Flood Damage Evaluation (UFDEM) is established. Legible spatial queries and visual thematic maps for flood characteristics and asset losses are accomplished. As the result, some important reference could be suggested for decision-making on urban flood disaster reduction.
