[0002] The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has strong tectonic uplift, complex topography, and sensitive and changeable climate. It is a high-risk area for geological disasters such as earthquakes, debris flows, collapses, and landslides. Against the backdrop of global warming and active crustal movement, the danger of geological disasters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is gradually increasing, and the disaster risk is also increasing with the population and social and economic development level.
[0003] The occurrence of geological disasters is the result of the combined effects of many factors, including topography, geological structure, rock and soil structure type, vegetation development, rainfall, earthquakes, river erosion, and human engineering activities. Among them, topography, geological structure, stratum lithology, and rock and soil structure type are the basic conditions for the occurrence of landslide disasters, while rainfall, earthquakes, and human engineering activities are the inducing factors for the formation of geological disasters. For geological disasters in a specific space, their geographical and geological environmental characteristics have certain continuity and similarity characteristics; due to the changes in inducing factors, their occurrence often has a large degree of randomness.
[0004] Therefore, conducting geological disaster investigations and risk assessments are important tasks in disaster prevention and mitigation, assessing the susceptibility and risk of geological disasters so as to prevent them before they occur. Summary of the invention

[0021] Figure 2 It is the frequency distribution curve diagram of geological disaster information in Zhuoni County in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Method Example:
[0024] The basic concept of the present invention is that for a specific continuous space, a relatively quantitative geological disaster susceptibility assessment process is feasible, and there are many application case studies in this regard. Among them, the information volume model is one of the commonly used methods.
[0025] According to the assumption of geological disaster susceptibility assessment: areas with topography, geological background and other factors similar to those of areas where geological disasters have occurred are likely to experience geological disasters in the future. Then, the information evaluation model is a comprehensive information evaluation model based on the probability statistics of the relationship between geological disasters that have occurred and various influencing factors. The occurrence of geological disasters is affected by many factors. The comprehensive information evaluation model considers the combination of the best geological disaster occurrence factors under a certain geological environment, including not only the number of basic factors but also the status of each factor. For a specific slope, the comprehensive information evaluation model considers the quantity and status of all information related to geological disasters contained in a certain area. It is expressed as:
[0026]
[0027] Among them, P(Y|X i ) indicates that in factor X i The probability of geological disaster Y occurring under the following conditions; P(Y) is the probability of geological disaster Y occurring; I Xi→Y For geological disaster Y in factor X i The amount of information under i It indicates different levels of slope gradients, terrain undulations and slope directions, or different engineering geological rock groups, or the degree of vegetation coverage, or different river lateral erosion impact ranges, or different road slope cutting impact ranges.
[0028] In the specific calculation process, sample frequency is usually used for estimation for convenience:
[0029]
[0030] Among them, S is the total number of grids of all factors in the study area; S i X is the factor in the study area i The number of grids; N is the number of geological disasters in the study area; N i X is the internal factor of the study area i The number of geological disasters that occurred.
[0031] Calculate the comprehensive factor information I provided by n factors in a certain evaluation unit on the occurrence of geological disasters z :
[0032]
[0033] Among them, I zis the comprehensive factor information; n is the total number of factors. The comprehensive factor information I calculated according to this formula z It is a comprehensive indicator that affects the occurrence of geological disasters in this unit. The larger its value, the more favorable it is for the occurrence of geological disasters, that is, the higher the susceptibility of geological disasters in this unit.
[0034] In this embodiment, taking Zhuoni County as an example, the technical solution of the present invention is used to conduct a geological disaster susceptibility and risk assessment on Zhuoni County.
[0035] Zhuoni County is located in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, southern Gansu, and southeastern Gannan Prefecture. The county belongs to the western part of the Qinling East-West Complex Tectonic Zone, also known as the West Qinling (Ling). Most of the landforms are medium and low mountains, with high terrain in the southwest and low terrain in the northeast. The highest point is the Zhayikega Peak in the south, with an altitude of 4,920 meters, and the lowest is the Zangbawa area in the northeast, with an altitude of 2,000 meters, a height difference of 2,920 meters. The south of Zhuoni County is the Dieshan Mountains running east-west, forming the ridge of the county; north of Dieshan is the Zhongdai terrain cut by the Taohe River system. Except for the part above 3,600 meters above sea level, which is exposed rock, the rest is dense forests and mountain grasslands, and many alluvial beaches are formed in the river valley area; the central part is dominated by plateau hills with open river valleys; the northern part is formed by many peaks such as Wudang Mountain, forming a northern barrier, presenting a broken alpine landform.
[0036] Zhuoni County's geology belongs to the southern part of the Northern Qinling Fold Belt, and its structure is complex. The main structures are divided into two categories. First, the strata in Taoyan, Zangbawa, Qiagai, and Kangduo Townships are mainly composed of Carboniferous limestone, peatstone, Permian sandstone, Permian limestone, and shale. Because the river has been cutting down for a long time, canyons have been formed. In addition, the local villagers have disorderly destroyed forests and reclaimed land for farmland. When encountering heavy rainfall, landslides, mud-rock flows and other disasters are easily formed; second, the strata in Liulin Town, Muer Township, Zangbawa Township, Taoyan Township, Zhagulu Town, Nalang and other townships where the Tao River passes are composed of loose sedimentary layers of the Quaternary system, loess-like sub-sand, alluvial sand and pebbles. Due to long-term soil erosion, the strata are severely wrinkled, the wrinkling phenomenon is common, and the average stratum inclination is about 30 degrees, which is prone to landslides, mud-rock flows, collapses and other geological disasters.
[0037] Related research shows that the factors that affect the occurrence of geological disasters include topography, engineering geological rock formations (stratum lithology), geological structures, river lateral erosion, etc. Based on this, an evaluation factor system is constructed as shown in Table 1:

[0050] Step 4: Reclassify the land cover data into rock bare area, sparse vegetation area, relatively sparse vegetation area, generally dense vegetation area, relatively dense vegetation area, and dense vegetation area;
[0051] Step 5: Perform a buffer analysis of the river lateral erosion impact range on the river data according to the predetermined classification standard, and convert the buffer results into raster data;
[0052] Step 6: Convert the geological hazard point data into vector point data to extract the types of factors involved in the calculation;
[0053] Step 7: Perform buffer analysis on the road data according to the road slope cutting influence range, convert the buffer results into raster data, calculate the information volume according to the information volume calculation model, and obtain the information volume data of the road factors;
[0054] Step 8: Calculate the information amount of each type of single factor grid data generated in the above steps 1 to 7 according to the information amount calculation model to obtain the information amount data of each type of factor;
[0055] Step 9: Overlay and calculate the information data of various factors to obtain the information data of comprehensive factors, classify them according to the characteristic points of the cumulative frequency curve, and obtain the evaluation zoning map of geological disaster susceptibility.
[0056] Step 10: Overlay analysis of basic condition factor information and population distribution data to achieve geological disaster risk assessment.
