GIS BASED MONITORING DATABASE FOR DUBRAČINA RIVER CATCHMENT AREA AS A TOOL FOR MITIGATION AND PREVENTION OF FLASH FLOOD AND EROSION

In this paper a GIS based monitoring database as a tool for mitigation and prevention of flash flood and erosion impact will be presented. The database is created for Dubračina River catchment area in Vinodol Valley (Croatia) that was chosen for its historical significance of potential hazard development. Information about built hydraulic structures (river network, river regulation..), geological (soil type, erosion and landslide affected areas), land use (types of vegetation coverage, areas used for agriculture..), anthropological (urban areas, traffic infrastructures, illegal waste disposals) and historical data (affected areas in the past, implemented structural and non-structural measures..) will be processed into an organized and correlated information database and map overview. For this purpose the software ArcGis 10.1. will be used.
