Possible ecological control of flood hazard in the hill regions of Hungary and Slovenia

Description

In the project, we analysed natural and anthropogenic landscape elements that influence hydrogeographic conditions and evaluated possible solutions for flood management. The research area included selected hills in northeastern Slovenia and southern Hungary. The project was conducted in collaboration with the University of Pécs, Faculty of Sciences, Institute of Geography. The project took place at different spatial scales.


Project Stages

The project lasted three years and was extended for one year. In the first phase we collected literature, sources, spatial data and installed monitoring devices. We also acquired all the documentation for the use of UAVs. In the second phase, we started spatial analysis of natural and anthropogenic factors (e.g., land use analysis), and we also started mapping water bodies in the field and observing processes with drones. In this phase, we also started preparing publications of study results and participating in scientific conferences. In the third phase, we continued monitoring and prepared various research articles and chapters. Details can be found in the report under Results section.
