Decision Support System in Flood Management

The objective of the research is to study the usage of Decision Support Systems
for Flood Mitigation (DSSFM). The main objective of the project is to explore the
extensive integration of Decision Support System and Geographical Information Systems
in DSSFM. A prototype in DSSFM is developed to combine the application of Decision
Support System and Geographical Information Systems. Its main function is to identifY
any flood-prone areas in Ipoh, Perak. From the flood identification process, the user will
identifY and take proactive measures to prevent damages occurred from the flood.ln
addition,it renders informed decision making for the authorities in managing flood
mitigation effectively. As there are few applications and software that is used in GIS, the
student need to identifY how DSS elements are used in the related field and produce a
prototype that combine DSS and GIS related data for the flood mitigation project.
