Figure 3 | Conditioning factors incorporated within the vulnerability as GIS layers: (a) building density, (b) building age (c), population density, and (d) socio-economic conditions density is important because it has significant impacts on the damage caused by urban floods. It was divided into four classes: high (>300 dwellings per hectare), medium (200-300 dwellings per hectare), low (100-200 dwellings per hectare), and very low (<100 dwellings per hectare) (Figure 3(a)). Building age was divided into five classes: recently completed (<5 years), new (10-19 years), medium (20-29 years), old (30-39 years), and very old (>40 years) (Figure 3(b)). The population density refers to the number of people inhabiting a given urbanized area, where high levels reflect the population at risk to floods (Giineralp et al. 2017). It was divided into four classes: high (>1,500/km?), medium (1,500-1,000/km?), low (1,000-500/km?), and very low (<500/km?) (Figure 3(c)). Socio-economic conditions refer to the inherent properties and behavior of humans and society within a specific urbanized region, and are assessed Aratijo 2016; Darabi et al. 2019) to relate response variables
