Abstract

This study assesses flood risk in Yozgat District, Yozgat Province, Türkiye, by linking urban drivers to planning responses. Its mixed-methods design integrates hydrometeorological series, historical event records, national hazard/risk layers, terrain diagnostics, and a cross-scale review of the planning hierarchy. Its results show how risk concentrates along culverted or hard-lined reaches in Büyükbaltaözü, Şehiriçi, and Taşlıburun, where impervious cover is high and stormwater wastewater interactions persist. An action matrix for priority belts is distilled from its findings, comprising selective daylighting and renaturalization, protection of overland flow routes, micro-retention/detention in public space, riparian setbacks, and targeted gray upgrades with routine maintenance. Benchmarking the transferability of Copenhagen's pluvial toolkit, this research emphasizes the suitability of surface-based blue-green measures to inland valley cities. The major contribution of this study is the operational link it makes between risk evidence and implementable planning instruments.
