Spatial layout siting method for fire stations based on comprehensive forest fire risk distribution

Abstract

In recent years, forests have suffered from frequent fire disasters, which are difficult to fight and cause heavy losses. Therefore, it is urgent to minimize the response time of forest fire (FF) rescue and improve the efficiency of FF prevention and control. To this end, this paper proposed a spatial layout siting method for fire stations based on the spatial distribution of comprehensive FF risks. Multiple indexes, including vegetation coverage, terrain and topography, environmental meteorology, population distribution, and fire sources, were comprehensively considered from three aspects, i.e., FF risk factors, exposure degree of the disaster-bearing body, and vulnerability of the disaster-bearing body. A comprehensive FF risk assessment model was developed through weighting by the entropy weight method and the analytic hierarchy process. In addition, the spatial autocorrelation model was used to analyze the FF risk distribution, and the location-assignment model was introduced to scientifically plan the spatial layout of FF stations from different perspectives. Zhuhai in Guangdong Province, China, a typical “city surrounded by mountains,” was chosen as the research site for case analysis.
