ZAGOSPODAROWANIE TERENÓW ZAGROŻONYCH POWODZIAMI W UNIEJOWIE
LAND USE ON AREAS EXPOSED TO FLOODS IN UNIEJÓW

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this work is to assess land use on flood hazard areas in Uniejów in respect of potential negative consequences for the environment, cultural heritage, economic activity and people. The area examined is a flood hazard zone where flood risk is 1% (medium level). The land use was analysed using the topographic database and land inventory. The assessment of land use on the areas exposed to floods is related to the concept of flood risk, which means the combination of the likelihood of flooding and related potential negative consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. Land use on the areas exposed to floods in Uniejów was found to be correct because open spaces dominate, allowing the flow of flood waters.
