Abstract:
Flooding is a common occurrence in the Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria, claiming lives, property, and infrastructure. Effective flood risk management necessitates a systematic approach that incorporates multiple stakeholders, data, and processes. The goal of this study was to create an integrated model that incorporates the systems, policies, and agencies of flood risk management and land administration for the Etsako central local government region using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through field observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The UML was used to model the flood risk management system and the class diagram. The study reveals that the current flood risk management in Etsako Central Local Government Area is inadequate, and there is a need for a more systematic and integrated approach to be employed to design a flood risk management system that integrates land administration and flood risk management stakeholders, data, and processes. The system was created to give accurate and up-to-date flood risk information, enabling effective flood risk management, and mitigate the effects of floods on communities. The report suggests implementing flood risk management and mitigating the impact of flooding on communities. It also suggests that stakeholders, such as local government officials, community leaders, and people, be trained to guarantee that the system is implemented effectively and sustainably.
