摘要

Cyclone is the mostGeospatial technology hazardous phenomenon all over the globe and its effect can be found in the coastal regions of the world. CycloneCyclone causes floodingFlooding, storm surge, landslidesLandslides, heavy rain, and huge property and environmental damage. The intensity and number of cyclonesCyclone are triggering due to climate change and its relative impact over ocean and land surface temperature in recent decade. The purpose of the study is to assess cycloneCyclone induced hazard. The study adopts Geographic Information Systems (GIS)GIS-based Analytical Hierarchy Weightage matrix of Bhadrak district and proposes strategic measures for sustainable cycloneCyclone disaster managementDisaster management of that area. Land use/land cover (LULC), geomorphology, lithology, elevation, slope, drainage density, topographic wetness index (TWI), and rainfall are considered important cycloneCyclone hazard factors. The overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient statistics are 90% and 87.50%, respectively. The resultant cycloneCyclone induced hazard zonationHazard zonation map of the study area reveals that the total area is subjected to four categories such as very high—7.80% (18,564.28 ha), high—40.24% (95,890.43 ha), moderate—31.48% (74,974.42 ha), and low—20.48% (48,821.54 ha)—cycloneCyclone induced hazard area of Bhadrak district. This study will help the decision-makers and district authority to yield good disaster mitigation measure for the study area.
