Improving flood maps by integrating the needs and the preferences of end-users

Abstract

Flood risk management has evolved from a structural approach to a non-structural policy supported by graphical tools (including maps), present at all stages of the flood risk management. However, although they are among the best tools for representation, communication and decision-making, these maps are characterized by gaps in their figuration, particularly because of a weak integration of their use in the design. The main objective of this research is to define the specific mapping rules for different categories of stakeholders who are the end-users of maps during an evacuation (inhabitants, local decision-makers and rescue forces) by using their characteristics and their issues to produce more efficient maps in order to manage evacuation. Toward this goal, the IMaDeS application (Interactive Map Design System) was developed to allow stakeholders to co-build their maps and the most representative templates are evaluated by eye-tracking paired with a questionnaire.
