[Title]
Linking Flood Modeling with Spatial Planning under Climate Change
 

[Abstract]
This presentation introduces a modeling framework that links flood inundation simulation with spatial planning under climate change. The research addresses a central challenge: how can flood modeling results be translated into planning-relevant information to support long-term decision-making under uncertain future rainfall conditions? Rather than focusing on high-resolution simulation of individual extreme events, this study emphasizes large-scale, scenario-based analysis. The objective is to enable systematic comparison across multiple climate and land-use scenarios, thereby clarifying how different assumptions about rainfall and development patterns may reshape flood risk at basin and regional scales. At the core of the framework is the Physiographic Drainage–inundation (PhD) model, a quasi-2D hydrodynamic modeling approach that represents runoff and inundation processes using physiography-based computational cells. The model is designed to balance physical consistency and computational efficiency, allowing for integrated watershed-scale simulation and comparative scenario analysis. By emphasizing spatial patterns and relative differences rather than single-event detail, this research provides a planning-oriented perspective on flood risk assessment and contributes to more adaptive and spatially informed climate change adaptation strategies.
 

[Short bio]

Dr. Meng-Hsuan Wu is an Assistant Research Fellow at the Industrial Sustainable Development Center, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). Her academic work focuses on flood adaptation and mitigation strategies to enhance flood resilience. A key aspect of her research involves addressing the impacts of climate change on both urban and rural environments. Her aim is to develop practical, science-based solutions for flood risk management, including the creation of advanced flood simulation models, the enhancement of flood forecasting systems.
