Abstract:
Effective flood risk management necessitates a combined approach that includes land administration and flood risk management. The goal of this study was to create a use case diagram for flood mitigation in the Etsako Central local government area of Edo State, Nigeria, using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) system. This study's data were gathered through field observations and questionnaire administrations. The number of respondents was defined by administering the questionnaires randomly at all villages and focusing on communities that are prone to flooding, land administration agencies, and flood risk management agencies. The research revealed that the current land administration system is inadequate, and it is not integrated into flood risk management; hence, flood risk is on the increase in the study area. The focus is on integrating the concepts of land administration and flood risk management to design a system using Unified Modelling Language for mitigating flooding disaster in the study area. A use case diagram was designed based on the concepts of the inter-relationships that exist between land administration and flood risk management. The system was created to give accurate and up-to-date flood risk information, facilitate effective flood risk management, and lessen the impact of floods on communities. As a result, the study suggests that the use case diagram be implemented in the Etsako Central Local Government Area to improve flood risk management and lessen flooding's impact on communities. It also proposes that stakeholders, such as local government officials, community leaders, and citizens, be trained to ensure the system's efficient implementation and sustainability.
