Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of urban flood resilience assessment technology, specifically to an urban flood resilience assessment method based on VIKOR-grey relational analysis. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, changes in regional hydrological cycles caused by global warming have exacerbated the frequency of extreme weather events such as torrential rains and floods. Coupled with the continuous acceleration of urbanization, urban flooding has become one of the major natural disasters facing major cities in my country. It not only causes huge economic losses to cities, but also seriously threatens urban social stability and ecological civilization construction. The dual impact of rapid urbanization and urban crisis has prompted mankind to find new ways to cope, and resilience assessment is an important part of urban disaster risk management.
[0003] Although existing technologies have proposed various methods for assessing urban flood resilience and achieved good application results, there is still a lack of comprehensive and systematic assessment methods for urban flood resilience. Furthermore, existing technologies have other shortcomings, which can be summarized as follows:
[0004] (1) There are some deficiencies in the evaluation system, such as the lack of research on the impact on nature.
[0005] (2) Most studies use a single method for weighting indicators. Although there are also studies that combine qualitative and quantitative methods, there are few related studies, which cannot comprehensively and systematically reflect the various indicator factors.
[0006] (3) The existing urban flood resilience assessment methods used in the research are relatively simple and few, and cannot reflect the flood resilience level of the assessed cities more comprehensively.
[0007] The relatively simplistic evaluation systems and methods present significant limitations in urban flood resilience assessment, leading to less than ideal results. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive and systematic urban resilience assessment method that can consider various factors. This invention is proposed based on this practical need.
