Flooding is one of the most prevalent natural disasters worldwide, causing threats
to life and property. In the Philippines, the province of Cavite is prone to flooding due to
its low elevation and limited river and drainage canal capacity, particularly in the
Municipality of Noveleta. Thus, this study aims to assess flood hazards and identify risk
areas in Barangay San Juan I, Noveleta, Cavite, using a Geographical Information System
(GIS)-based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach, considering criteria such as
rainfall, slope, elevation, soil type, flow direction, flood depth, population density, and land
use or cover. Each parameter was compared to the derived weights using a pairwise
comparison matrix (PCM) based on the judgment of ten (10) experts in various fields
chosen by purposive sampling. The weights calculated were then used in hazard assessment
computations and map development that led to rainfall results as the primary contributing
parameter, accounting for 19.5% of the risk of flooding. Other significant parameters
included land use/land cover (15.4%), flood depth (13.5%), population density (11.8%),
flow direction (11.7%), elevation (11.2%), slope (10.1%), and soil type (6.9%). The results
show less than the 1.5% consistency ratio, which is considered valid. The flood hazard map
revealed the majority of the barangay was at moderate risk of flooding, with high-risk
sections, especially in the northwest. Furthermore, this study provides relevant
information, such as data and GIS tool outputs, to assist the disaster management team in
developing an effective community-based disaster risk reduction program to prepare for
future flood events.
