Item Flood risk map from hydrological and mobility data : a case study in São Paulo-Brazil.(2022) Tomás, Lívia Rodrigues; Soares, Giovanni Guarnieri; Jorge, Aurelienne Aparecida Souza; Mendes, Jeferson Feitosa; Freitas, Vander Luis de Souza; Santos, Leonardo Bacelar LimaCities increasingly face flood risk primarily due to exten-sive changes of the natural land cover to built-up areas with impervious surfaces. In urban areas, flood impacts come mainly from road interruption. This article proposes an urban flood risk map from hydrological and mobility data, considering the megacity of São Paulo, Brazil, as a case study. We estimate the flood susceptibility through the Height Above the Nearest Drainage algorithm; and the potential impact through the exposure and vulnerability components. We aggregate all variables into a regular grid and then classify the cells of each component into three classes: Moderate, High, and Very High. All components, except the flood susceptibility, have few cells in the Very High class. The flood susceptibility component reflects the presence of watercourses, and it has a strong influence on the location of those cells classified as Very High.Item The correspondence between the structure of the terrestrial mobility network and the spreading of COVID-19 in Brazil.(2020) Freitas, Vander Luis de Souza; Konstantyner, Thais Cláudia Roma de Oliveira; Mendes, Jeferson Feitosa; Sepetauskas, Cátia Souza do Nascimento; Santos, Leonardo Bacelar LimaThe inter-cities mobility network is of great importance in understanding outbreaks, especially in Brazil, a continental-dimension country. We adopt the data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the terrestrial flow of people between cities from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics database in two scales: cities from Brazil, without the North region, and from the São Paulo State. Grounded on the complex networks approach, and considering that the mobility network serves as a proxy for the SARS-CoV-2 spreading, the nodes and edges represent cities and flows, respectively. Network centrality measures such as strength and degree are ranked and compared to the list of cities, ordered according to the day that they confirmed the first case of COVID-19. The strength measure captures the cities with a higher vulnerability of receiving new cases. Besides, it follows the interiorization process of SARS-CoV-2 in the São Paulo State when the network flows are above specific thresholds. Some countryside cities such as Feira de Santana (Bahia State), Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo State), and Caruaru (Pernambuco State) have strength comparable to states’ capitals. Our analysis offers additional tools for understanding and decision support to inter-cities mobility interventions regarding the SARS-CoV-2 and other epidemics.
