ABSTRACT
Understanding the characteristics of waterlogging in urban agglomeration is essential for effective waterlogging prevention and management, as well as for promoting sustainable urban development. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the driving mechanisms of waterlogging in urban agglomeration at a single scale, but urban agglomeration space has greater spatio-temporal heterogeneity, it is often difficult to fully reveal such characteristics at a single scale. Consequently, this study endeavors to explore the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and underlying mechanisms of waterlogging incidents within urban agglomerations by adopting a multi-scale analytical approach. The results indicate that (1) The waterlogging degree and high-density zones increase in the GBA, and the waterlogging points are spatially polycentric. However, the waterlogging point in Hong Kong is decreasing. (2) The influence of ISP and AI on waterlogging is dominant at all scales, followed by RE and Slope. ISPâ©Slope and ISPâ©RE are the key interactions for waterlogging. (3) The aggregation of waterlogging decreases with grid scale, and the influence of land cover factors on waterlogging increases with grid scale. Moreover, the findings at the grid scale outperformed those at the watershed scale, indicating that the grid scale is more conducive to the investigation of waterlogging in urban agglomerations. This research broadens our comprehension of the mechanisms behind waterlogging in urban agglomeration and provide references for policy decisions on waterlogging prevention and mitigation within urban agglomerations.
