Floods
are one of the biggest natural disasters after earthquakes in terms of their
effects. They are frequently seen and threaten settlements. Floods usually
occur as a result of inadequate precautions and irregular urbanization. In this
context, even if it is not possible to prevent floods completely, it may be
possible to reduce the impact of floods and minimize the loss of life and
property by taking precautions in advance as a result of the analyzes made. The
use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydrological software together
is among the most important methods in modeling floods. Within the scope of
this study, a study region located in the Trabzon province of the Eastern Black
Sea Region, which is one of the regions with the highest rainfall in Turkey,
was determined and it was aimed to determine the flood areas using both GIS and
the study data of this region. It is recommended to plan the identified areas
as recreation areas.
