Popis: Floods cause soil degradation, leading to a reduction in agricultural production, which interacts with the socio-cultural, economic and natural environment. The frequency of flood events may be due to synergistic actions of all factors both natural and anthropogenic. Local community in the river Kolubara catchment was exposed to the catastrophic flood in May 2014. and suffered a lot of damage. This paper analyzes the consequences of these floods in the flood zone of the Kolubara River as well as their impact on soil properties. Since the local community in study area depends primarily on agriculture, the impact of flood from socio-economic aspect was analyzed using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) method.
