[0043] S1. Collect landslide point data and multi-source environmental factor data in the target area, build a multi-source driving factor database, and pre-process the multi-source driving factor database;

[0044] The multi-source environmental factors include natural factors and human factors, wherein the natural factors include rainfall, slope, terrain relief, distance from faults, and distance from rivers; the human factors include the comprehensive human activity intensity index CHAII; wherein: the expression of the comprehensive human activity intensity index CHAII is:

[0045] ;

[0046] Where, NTL_AVG is the average nighttime light intensity at the landslide site from 2000 to 2020, DOP_AVG is the average population density at the landslide site from 2000 to 2020, and IC DIST is the average distance between the landslide point and the impervious area and cultivated land; Norm() is a normalization function that normalizes the data to [0,1];

[0048] ;

[0049] Among them, N h is the sample size of layer h, is the variance of layer h, is the overall variance;

[0050] The dynamic weight coefficient P i Expressed as:

[0051] ;

[0052] S3. Use the traditional information value model to calculate the information value I of each factor category i and the dynamic weight coefficient P obtained in step S2 i Combine to generate weighted information value ; Wherein: the information value I i Expressed as:

[0053] ;

[0054] in, is the landslide area within factor category i, S i is the total area of ​​factor category i, A0 is the total landslide area in the target area, and A is the total area of ​​the target area;

[0055] The weighted information value Expressed as:

[0056] ;

[0057] in, is the final weighted information value, which is used to characterize the comprehensive degree of regional landslide susceptibility.

[0058] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown in FIG, a method for evaluating the susceptibility of watershed landslides based on a weighted information model includes the following steps:

[0059] 1. Data Preparation: Integrate landslide data from 2000 to 2020, 30m DEM, rainfall raster, fault vectors, and CHAII data. These include: landslide event data from 2000 to 2020, with spatial duplication removed and outliers located, and kernel density analysis used to generate a spatial density distribution of landslides; 30m resolution digital elevation model (DEM) extraction of topographic factors such as slope and terrain relief; average rainfall raster data from 2000 to 2020 (unit: mm / year) to reflect the impact of regional rainfall on geological stability; geological fault and river vector data, with the Euclidean distance method used to calculate the distance of each pixel from the nearest fault and river landslide point flow; and the Human Activity Intensity Index (CHAII), which is constructed by integrating land use, nighttime light, and population density data to quantify the driving effect of human activities on landslide occurrence.

[0060] 2. Weight calculation: In order to avoid the problem of inconsistent influence of each factor on the model output, this step uses the geographic detector method to quantitatively analyze the explanatory power of each driving factor and perform weighted processing accordingly. The results show that the q value of the rainfall factor is 0.266, and the q value of the distance from the fault is 0.222. Both have significant explanatory power in landslide formation and are major controlling factors. Although the q value of CHAII in the single factor analysis is 0.188, there is an obvious enhanced interaction effect between it and other natural factors. Therefore, its weight is appropriately increased to 0.3516 during the weighted processing process to fully reflect the amplifying effect of human activities on the occurrence of landslides in local areas. Subsequently, the normalized q values ​​of each factor are introduced into the traditional information quantity model as weighting coefficients, and the model response accuracy is improved by the improved weighted information quantity (WIV) calculation method;

[0061] 3. Model Construction: After adjusting the weights of each factor, a grid overlay analysis of each evaluation factor was performed using the Weighted Information Volume Model (WIVM) to obtain a landslide susceptibility index map, which was then used to divide different risk levels. This step used the natural breakpoint method to divide the landslide susceptibility index into five levels: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The results showed that extremely high-susceptibility areas are concentrated in areas of intense geological tectonic activity, such as the Three Gorges Reservoir and the western Sichuan Fault Zone, exhibiting typical spatial clustering characteristics and tectonic control effects. The WIVM more clearly distinguished between high-risk and low-risk landslide areas in space, avoiding the "overestimation" problem found in traditional models and effectively enhancing the model's practicality and disaster guidance capabilities.

[0062] 4. Verification and optimization: In order to evaluate the accuracy and improvement effect of the WIVM model, the landslide proportion and landslide ratio were used to verify the rationality of the landslide susceptibility model, and the ROC curve and AUC value were used as quantitative verification indicators. The results were compared with the traditional information volume model (IVM). The results in Table 1 show that the landslide proportions of the susceptible areas under each classification state are positively correlated from low susceptibility zones to high susceptibility zones, and the landslide ratios of the landslide hazard state classification under the two models meet the requirements of rationality test, that is, from extremely low susceptibility zones to extremely high susceptibility zones, the landslide proportion and landslide ratio (R nvalues) all showed a strictly monotonically increasing trend. The rationality test results demonstrated that both models could effectively distinguish landslide potential at different risk levels, meeting the core assumption of "high-risk areas with high density" in landslide susceptibility assessment and passing rationality verification. The ROC curve and AUC value verification results showed that the WIVM model achieved an AUC value of 0.875, a 10.1% increase compared to the IVM model's 0.795, significantly enhancing the model's ability to fit landslide distribution. Furthermore, the proportion of extremely high-risk areas decreased from 29.49% in the IVM model to 18.81% in the WIVM model, more closely matching the actual landslide distribution and reducing misjudgment of non-high-risk areas. Spatial comparative analysis of typical regions revealed that WIVM more accurately identified high-risk landslide areas in areas such as the Three Gorges Reservoir slopes and the western Sichuan fault zone, effectively improving the targeted and scientific nature of landslide early warning and disaster prevention. Figure 2 、 3 The comparison of ROC curves of IVM and WIVM models is shown.

[0064]

[0065] As an embodiment of the present invention, the preprocessing includes spatial normalization and factor discretization, wherein:

[0066] Spatial standardization primarily involves unifying the spatial reference system, grid resolution, and numerical range. To ensure spatial consistency across different data sources, all raster data was reprojected to the WGS 1984 coordinate system with a uniform resolution of 100 meters to match the spatial scale of the large-area model. For numerical standardization, the minimum–maximum normalization method was used to normalize each factor to the range [0, 1].

[0067] In terms of factor discretization, DEM-derived continuous variables such as slope, aspect, terrain relief, rainfall, and distance from faults were classified using the geometric interval method and the natural breakpoint method, respectively. The geometric interval method is suitable for variables with skewed distributions, such as rainfall and slope, and helps to retain the influence of extreme values; while the natural breakpoint method is more suitable for variables with quasi-normal distributions, such as terrain relief and distance from faults, and can more clearly delineate landslide susceptibility response zones. Taking the slope factor as an example, the original slope raster values ​​were standardized and divided into five levels using the natural breakpoint method, corresponding to extremely gentle, gentle, moderate, steep, and extremely steep slopes, effectively matching the critical slope characteristics of landslide activity.

[0068] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the coordinate system is the WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_50N geographic coordinate system; and the resolution is a 100m×100m grid.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the comprehensive human activity intensity index CHAII is obtained from human activity data.

[0070] As an embodiment of the present invention, the human activity data includes night lights, population density, and land use; wherein the land use includes the distance between the landslide point and the impermeable area and cultivated land.

[0071] As an embodiment of the present invention, the explanatory power q value is the q value of each factor to the landslide spatial density LSD.

[0072] As an embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic weight coefficient P i It is obtained by calculating the explanatory power q value of each factor through normalized geographic detector.

[0073] As an embodiment of the present invention, before constructing the landslide susceptibility model, the study area was divided into three sub-regions according to geographical and administrative units (N=3 in this embodiment, divided by watershed units). Using the geographic detector method, the influencing factors in each region (such as rainfall, slope, terrain relief, distance from fault, CHAII, etc.) were calculated for factor explanatory power (q value) and two-factor interaction analysis. The analysis results show that there are significant differences in the dominant factors in different regions: for example, in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, CHAII interacts strongly with rainfall (the interaction q value is 0.412), while in the western Sichuan fault zone area, the distance from the fault and terrain relief are the dominant factors (q values ​​are 0.356 and 0.331, respectively). This step helps to identify regional key driving factors and realize zoning modeling and differentiated prevention and control of landslide risk zoning.

[0074] As an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the weighted information value (WIV) of each factor, a rasterized landslide susceptibility index layer was constructed. To enhance the scientificity and objectivity of the classification, the WIV values ​​were classified using the natural breakpoint method, categorizing the study area into five landslide susceptibility levels: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The extremely high susceptibility areas are primarily concentrated in the steep slopes of the Three Gorges Reservoir area and near the active fault zone in western Sichuan; the medium-low susceptibility areas are mostly located in plains and areas less affected by human activities. The final landslide susceptibility zoning map was generated through visualization using the ArcGIS platform.

[0075] As an embodiment of the present invention, in order to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the weighted information volume model (WIVM), the landslide proportion and landslide ratio (R n) for spatial validation. The landslide proportion refers to the proportion of landslide sample points in each risk level area, and the landslide ratio is the ratio of the number of landslides per unit area to the total landslide point proportion. The results show that the landslide proportion in the extremely high risk area reached 43.29%, and the landslide ratio was 2.30, which was significantly higher than that in other levels of areas, showing a good spatial aggregation. In addition, ROC and AUC values ​​were used to evaluate the overall classification ability of the model. Taking landslide points as positive classes and non-landslide points as negative classes, by comparing the predicted values ​​with the measured values ​​one by one, the final AUC value was 0.875, which was 10.1% higher than the traditional IVM model, verifying the reliability and superiority of the WIVM model in landslide susceptibility zoning. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0076] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and essence of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
