Risk Assessment of Urban Water-Logging Disaster Based on Weight-improved AHP Method-Taking Haojiang District of Shantou City as an Example by ZHOU Jiaqi, LIN Kairong, XIE Xue, CHEN Haiyan, GAO Xin

“…Under the background of global climate change,the frequency of extreme rainfall events increases,and the urban water-logging disaster occurs frequently.The risk assessment of water-logging disaster can effectively reduce the loss.Taking Haojiang District of Shantou City as case study,this paper improves the weights of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) by neural network,expands the traditional nine-point scaling,and constructs the water-logging disaster risk evaluation model.The results show that the water-logging disaster risk in Haojiang District is generally high in the south-central region and low in the northwest region.Especially,Yuxin Street,Binhai Street,Majiao Street and Dahao Street have higher risk values,which need to take preventive measures.After verification of evaluation results with historical data,it is shown that about 80% of historical flood disaster points are distributed in high-risk areas,which is consistent with the verification results of historical disaster points.The weight determination method of AHP is improved by neural network,the intermediate variables of the traditional nine-point method is expanded to three decimal places,and the weight is determined by the computer to reduce subjectivity to a certain extent.The results of risk assessment can provide technical support for flood warning and flood control scheduling within a certain time limit.…”

Sources analysis and risk assessment of heavy metals in soil in a polymetallic mining area in southeastern Hubei based on Monte Carlo simulation by Jing Wang, Bo Wang, Qibin Zhao, Jinnan Cao, Xiao Xiao, Di Zhao, Zhenya Chen, Di Wu

“…The main findings are as follows: (1) Among the heavy metals present in the soil, copper (Cu) has the highest average concentration at 278.54 mg/kg, followed by zinc (Zn) at 161.16 mg/kg, chromium (Cr) at 75.23 mg/kg, nickel (Ni) at 30.38 mg/kg, arsenic (As) at 22.53 mg/kg, cadmium (Cd) at 0.76 mg/kg, and mercury (Hg) at 0.14 mg/kg; (2) The distribution of heavy metal concentrations exhibits significant regional variations, with the spatial pattern of pollution indicating that TLS is more affected than JLS, as evidenced by the Pollution Load Index (PLI) values; (3) Three potential sources of heavy metals were identified: natural sources, anthropogenic activities (including industrial production and agricultural practices), and atmospheric deposition (both dry and wet); (4) While severe contamination levels of specific metals such as copper and cadmium are observed in JLS and TLS soils, the overall contamination is mild, suggesting complex contamination dynamics; (5) Cadmium poses a moderate to high ecological risk, being the most sensitive factor in the comprehensive ecological risk assessment with a contribution rate of 65.2 %; (6) The concentrations of heavy metals in the soil present certain health risks, with children being more vulnerable than adults. …”
