Abstract

This paper aims to define the amount of changes in potential flood losses on the basis of spatial distribution patterns of floodplain development using GIS tools. A procedurę for potential flood loss estimation has been developed in which GIS tools have been applied. A procedure for calculating flood losses applied in Polish legislation has been used. According to this survey, in Gryfino, which is situated on the Odra river in years 1996–2007 potential hazard of flood loss grew as a result of grow of floodplain areas development.
