Fuzzy influence system for muti-hazard physical risk assessment in urban areas

Physical vulnerability modelling in natural hazard risk assessment

An evaluation of the risk to an exposed element from a hazardous event requires a consideration of the element’s vulnerability, which expresses its propensity to suffer damage. This concept allows the assessed level of hazard to be translated to an estimated level of risk and is often used to evaluate the risk from earthquakes and cyclones. However, for other natural perils, such as mass moveme...

Fuzzy Logic and Neuro-Fuzzy Networks for Environmental Hazard Assessment

Investigation of forest fire hazard areas in Golestan province based on fire risk system index (FRSI) using the technique (GIS)

Abstract  Fire in natural resources is one of the crises that causes irreparable damage to ecosystems and the environment every year. The purpose of this research is to attempt to study areas of risk aversion and to prepare a map of forest fire hazard area by integrating topographic data and other additional information from a GIS system for Golestan province. In order to carry out this resear...

Urban network risk assessment using Fuzzy-AHP and TOPSIS in GIS environment

Risk assessment of urban network using traffic indicators determines vulnerable links with high danger of traffic incidents. Thus Determination of an appropriate methodology remains a big challenge to achieve this objective. This paper proposed a methodology based on data fusion concept using Fuzzy-AHP and TOPSIS to achieve this aim. The proposed methodology tries to overcome two main problems,...

Spatio-Temporal Risk Assessment Process Modeling for Urban Hazard Events in Sensor Web Environment

Immediate risk assessment and analysis are crucial in managing urban hazard events (UHEs). However, it is a challenge to develop an immediate risk assessment process (RAP) that can integrate distributed sensors and data to determine the uncertain model parameters of facilities, environments, and populations. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a RAP modeling method within a unified spati...
