This research focuses on the reconstruction of the morphological modifications of the coastal floodplain of Rapallo (Eastern Liguria, NW Italy) due to human intervention since the eighteenth century. By the second half of the nineteenth century Rapallo became a popular tourist destination: as a consequence, the urban development of the floodplain started and became very intense after Second World War, strongly modifying former landforms. The study was carried out using multi-temporal cartographic and photographic comparison, the analysis of geo-thematic cartography and documentation from the Basin Master Plan and the town plan of Rapallo, the interpretation of cores from regional database and field data from direct urban surveys. Man-made landforms were mapped and classified using the new geomorphological legend which is in progress in the framework of the Working Groups on “Cartography” and “Urban Geomorphology” of the Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology (AIGEO). The main significant morphological changes were stream diversions and channeling, excavations and filling, quarry activities, embankments along the shoreline and overurbanization. Human interventions, in addition to local geomorphological and climate features, increased flood hazard and risk, which historically affected the city of Rapallo.

Artykuł jest poświęcony zastosowaniu teoretycznych rozkładów wartości ekstremalnych do szacowania ryzyka zagrożenia powodziowego na Dolnym Śląsku. W badaniu zostały wykorzystane maksymalne dobowe przepływy na rzece Odrze zebrane w stacji hydrologicznej w Malczycach w okresie 1971-2013. Z danych tych zostały wyselekcjonowane maksima roczne maksymalnych dobowych przepływów. Na ich podstawie został stworzony ich empiryczny rozkład prawdopodobieństwa, do którego został dopasowany teoretyczny rozkład Persona III. Po statystycznej weryfikacji dopasowania rozkładu teoretycznego do empirycznego został on zastosowany do oszacowania ryzyka zagrożenia powodziowego na badanym terenie.

The article concerns the application Person III distribution to estimate risk of risk flood danger in Lower Silesia. In study maximal daily flow on Odra river were used, that in the hydrological station Malczyce were gathered. From the collected date from period 1971-2013 annual maximum flows were selected. Based on selected maximum they empirical distribution was created, for which theoretical Person III distribution was fitted. After statistical verification of fitting one was used for assessment flood risk on studying area.
