摘要：Recently, particularly between 2005 and 2010, Romania has been subjected to large-scale flooding, with wide areas affected by floods which led to serious damage to the infrastructure and left behind a significant number of deaths. The destructive intensity of these flash floods has highlighted the need of an integrated and sustainable approach to managing flood risk in Romania in order to reduce the severity of future damages caused by floods. A very important role lies in cartographic representations, namely in achieving analytical maps based on risk calculation and especially on the integration of a large volume of information contained in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In this study, the Corabia-Turnu Mãgurele-Zimnicea sector, located in the Danube Meadow (in southern Romania) was chosen, this area being very affected by floods, especially by those from 2006. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of GIS in order to raise the awareness against the potential for spatial planning for waterrelated natural hazards and to reduce the risk of natural disasters affecting the population by proposing preventive measures in the most vulnerable areas.
