| Description | Floods have caused significant socio-economic damage and are extremely dangerous for human lives as well as infrastructures. The aim of this study is to use machine learning models including regularized random forest (RRF) and Naïve Bayes (NB) algorithms to predict flood susceptibility areas using 410 sample points (205 flood points and 205 non-flood points). Ten flood influencing factors including elevation, topographic wetness index, rainfall, normalized difference vegetation index, curvature, land use, distance to river, slope, lithology, and aspect have been used in the modelling process. For this purpose, 70% of the data was used for training and the rest employed for testing the models. Accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) were used to validate and compare the performance of the models. The results showed that the RRF model on the testing dataset had the highest performance (AUC = 0.94, ACC = 90%, Sensitivity = 0.89, Specificity = 0.92, NPV = 0.89) compared to that of the NB model (AUC = 0.93, ACC = 89%, Sensitivity = 0.84, Specificity = 0.96, NPV = 0.81). The employed models can be used as an efficient tool for flood susceptibility mapping with the purpose of planning to reduce the damages. |
