Geological hazard
risk
evaluation plays
a significant
guiding
role in
disaster prevention
and mitigation. Focusing
on
the
issues
of
frequent and
severe geological
hazards
in
Lüchun County,
this
study
conducts
a
geological
hazard
risk
evaluation
to
provide
scientific support
for disaster
prevention
planning and risk
management
in Lüchun County. Taking Lüchun County in Yunnan Province as the study area,
grid unit
is
selected as
the evaluation unit, and nine
evaluation
factors are
chosen:
elevation,
slope,
aspect,
distance
to faults,
distance
to rivers, engineering geological rock
groups, geomorphological
types, curvature, and land use types. Utilizing the spatial analysis function of geographic information system, the weighted information value model, which combines the
information value model and the analytic hierarchy process, is applied to
evaluate the susceptibility of collapse and landslide geological hazards in the studied area. The
monthly average precipitation in Lüchun County is selected
as the triggering factor for geological
hazard evaluation of landslides and collapses in the study area. Three disaster bearing
factors: population density, the number of threatened people
, and land use types, are selected to complete the vulnerability evaluation. The hazard index and vulnerability index are multiplied
then to produce
the risk evaluation of collapse and landslide geological hazards. The results show that the study area can be divided into four risk levels: low, medium , high and extremely high, which accounted for 12.84%, 46.01%, 38.28% and 2.87% of the studied area, respectively. The low risk areas are mainly located in the middle of Banpo Township, the north of
Qimaba Township, the north of Daxing Town and the south of Gekui Township. The middle risk areas are mainly distributed in the north
of Daheishan Town, the west of Dashuigou Township, the middle and south of Qimaba Township, the middle of
Gekui Township and the southwest of Pinghe Town. High and extremely high risk areas are mainly distributed around Lüchun County and
Daxing Town, Niukong Town, Sanmeng Township, Pinghe Town, and the middle of Dashuigou Township. The results of geological hazards risk evaluation obtained in this paper are in good agreement with the actual investigation.
