Abstract

Flood Mitigation Management (FMM) plays a vital role in reducing the adverse impacts of floods on different levels. The conventional urban drainage system which comprises of pipes and drains has been the primary target of FMM. Nonetheless, this system has been considered insufficient in addressing the challenges of flooding caused by rapid urbanization and climate change. The adoption of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) presents a viable alternative, although their implementation is frequently difficult due to the intricate nature of incorporating sustainability principles into stormwater management. This study formulated an assessment tool that leverages the PESTLE framework to evaluate the suitability of locales for SUDS adaptation. The tool examined a range of external factors, encompassing political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental aspects that could impact the successful integration of SUDS. By utilizing the PESTLE framework, decision-makers and stakeholders gained valuable insights into specific areas that demand greater attention during the development and implementation of SUDS adaptation strategies for effective flood mitigation. This comprehensive understanding of external factors facilitated a more informed decision-making process. The assessment tool was designed with a specific focus on the Bulaon Resettlement barangay. Results indicate that the area faces significant data gaps that could impact the successful adaptation of SUDS. Consequently, the study recommends the development or updating of current data to increase the likelihood of successful SUDS adaptation. In conclusion, the developed assessment tool based on the PESTLE framework has the potential to improve flood mitigation management by providing decision-makers and stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of locales' adaptation to SUDS. This would enable them to identify areas requiring focus and improvement when designing and implementing SUDS adaptation strategies, thus ensuring effective management of flood mitigation.
