Folder 

These data were produced as part of an interdisciplinary project between the Blue-Green Cities Research Consortium and the Portland-Vancouver ULTRA project. The data are GIS rasters of the East Lents Floodplain restoration project (Portland, Oregon, USA). The rasters show the normalised score of different benefit categories under the flood and non-flood condition, and for the before (pre-Phase 1) and after (Phase 2) conditions of the Floodplain restoration project. The name of the folder indicates which conditions are being analysed. The research proposed the concepts of benefit intensity, benefit profile and benefit dependency as three ways to look at how the benefits accrue spatially and the relative significance of each benefit. 

The data can be open using GIS software, such as ESRI MapInfo and QGIS. 


There are four folders of data showing the results (multiple benefits) from four applications of the GIS tool:

1. PrePhase1_Normal = before the Foster Floodplain restoration work, non-flood conditions

2. PrePhase1_10yr flood = before the Foster Floodplain restoration work, 10-yr flood

3. Phase2_Normal = after the Foster Floodplain restoration work, non-flood conditions

4. Phase 2_10yr flood = after the Foster Floodplain restoration work, 10-yr flood
