Unveiling and modelling the flood risk and multidimensional poverty determinants using geospatial multi-criteria approach: Evidence from Jigawa, Nigeria

Floods are recurring natural disasters that pose major challenges to communities worldwide, especially in regions where poverty is widespread. This research focuses on analysing the relationship between flood risk and poverty factors in Jigawa. It uses geospatial data, historical flood records and r...
