Scope and Limitation of The Study

This study focuses on using GIS for flood risk management in the City of Butuan, Philippines, which has a population of 298,378 and is prone to flooding from the Agusan River and other streams running through the city. The researchers will describe how GIS can be applied to flood control and risk assessment but will not examine other natural hazards like earthquakes. They will also delimit the scope to explaining potential GIS applications rather than implementing them.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study focuses on the use of GIS in flood risk control and management. Other phenomena such as seismic activities are not included in this study. The researchers delimit their scope on the description of the possible uses of GIS.

Research Locale

The researchers decide to choose the City of Butuan as their study area for this is one of the flood prone areas in Caraga. It is the capital city of the province of Agusan del Norte. A total of 298,378 populations reside here. Its jurisdiction covers a total area of 817.28 km2 (315.55 sq mi). Agusan River one of the major rivers of Mindanao lies in this City. The city is abundant of other water lines such as streams that brings more vulnerability of the City to Flood. Its particular location is in the northern part of Mindanao bounded by the municipalities of Buenavista and Las Nieves in the west, Magallanes and RTR (Romualdez T. Rodriguez) in the north, and SIbagat and Bayugan in the South East.
