Flood vulnerability analysis and assessment are urgently needed to improve urban-risk management and to protect the local population. Our aim was to deliver an adapted approach for an integrated vulnerability assessment for data-scarce areas by combining different disciplinary perspectives with local knowledge.An integrated way of understanding vulnerability is by means of a social-ecological vulnerability assessment (SEVA). SEVA is defined “_as the extent to which environmental degradation and climate change cause negative changes in exposure, susceptibility and in the capacity of the social-ecological system to anticipate, cope with and recover from the hazard_” [^2].

We use the **social-ecological vulnerability concept** as common framework [^1] to assess the different vulnerability components, exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity, from an integrated social-ecological perspective. Besides the vulnerability assessment for the current situation, we also explore vulnerability for possible future pathways with regard to climate (heavy rainfall) and land cover changes (exposure and sensitivity), as well as measures to decrease flash flood damages (adaptive capacity). Using a scenario analysis, the effects of changes in heavy rainfall and land use changes, as well as measures to decrease flash flood damages are simulated with hydraulic and [hydrologic models](https://gitlab.pik-potsdam.de/peterh/captainrain/-/wikis/Home/Products/WP-3-Flash-flood-risk-analysis/Hydrological-modelling-using-HEC-HMS) and assessed using vulnerability indicators.
