Abstract

Regarding to geomorphologic view, the fluvial plain is composed of vulnerable zones against flooding because of different fluvial process and fluvial landforms are categorized for vulnerability risk mapping on the geomorphologic land classification map. Under the land-use change in urban area, transformation of each landform with cutting and filling connotes to be shifted to be a more vulnerable stage in the fluvial plain. In hand with land-use change, social structure for disaster prevention and mitigation has been transfigured to be individualism with nonintervention in local community and indifference in others. The traditional citizen’s participation for mitigation and lifesaving has been bereaved in local community under the natural disaster, however, flood experience and remembering the past evacuation from flooding are precious teaching to suspect or imagine to be lifesaving method and to prepare harmonize community opinions for regional risk communication and risk reduction direction in the local community. It is important for consideration of two dimensions between human dimension and physical dimension to future flood mitigation and prevention.
