The main goal of the article is to develop a toolkit algorithm for the application of computer modelling in the analysis of hazardous areas during flooding using ArcGIS software for representatives of administrative-territorial authorities. The created toolkit algorithm can be utilized at the regional and local self-government levels for analysing potential negative consequences of flooding, followed by decision-making regarding the implementation of appropriate protective measures. The authors have developed a toolkit algorithm for the application of computer modelling to analyse hazardous areas during the flooding of territories using ArcGIS software, specifically designed for representatives of administrative-territorial authorities. This algorithm involves modelling the watershed basins of the area and identifying hazardous areas that may pose additional dangers or lead to a "domino effect" during the flooding of the studied territory. The authors have identified a list of hazardous areas that pose additional risks to the population's livelihood in the territory that may be affected by flooding. Additionally, the practical application of the proposed computer modelling algorithm has been examined using the example of the Drohobych district in the Lviv region, where frequent flooding has been observed in the past. The Drohobych district includes the territorial communities of Medenychi, Drohobych, Truskavets, Skhidnytsia, and Boryslav. In the region, there are two solid household waste landfills near the villages of Bronytsia and the city of Boryslav, which can be considered hazardous areas in the event of flooding. The greatest danger of consecutive contaminations due to flooding occurs in the area of the cities of Borislav and Truskavets. Water covers four cemeteries and comes dangerously close to the landfill as a result of flooded territories. The city of Drohobych is in a relatively safe zone; however, the water sources supplying the city are within the boundaries of the city of Truskavets, which also causes an additional danger to these and adjacent settlements. Subsequently, the developed toolkit algorithm can be utilized at the regional and community levels for analysing potential negative consequences of flooding, followed by decision-making regarding the implementation of appropriate engineering protection measures in specific areas.
