Wildfire risk analysis can be based on historical data of fire hotspot occurrence. Traditional wildfire risk analyses often rely on the use of administrative or grid polygons which has their own limitations. This research aims to develop a wildfire risk map by implementing DBSCAN clustering method to identify areas with wildfire risk based on historical data of wildfire hotspot occurrence points. The risk ranks for each area/cluster were then ranked/calculated based on the cluster density. The result showed that this method is capable of detecting major clusters/areas with their respective wildfire risk and that the majority of consequent fire occurrences were repeated inside the identified clusters/areas.Keywords: wildfire risk map; clustering; DBSCAN; cluster density;

A methodology for risk analysis applicable to shipping in arctic waters is introduced. This methodology uses the Bowtie relationship to represent an accident causes and consequences. It is further used to quantify the probability of a ship accident and also the related accident consequences during navigation in arctic waters. Detailed fault trees for three possible ship accident scenarios in arctic transits are developed and represented as bowties. Factors related to cold and harsh conditions and their effects on grounding, foundering, and collision are considered as part of this study. To illustrate the application of the methodology, it is applied to a case of an oil-tanker navigating on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The methodology is implemented in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo framework to assess the uncertainties arisen from historical data and expert judgments involved in the risk analysis.

Abstract. How to establish an effective method of large data analysis of geographic space-time and quickly and accurately find the hidden value behind geographic information has become a current research focus. Researchers have found that clustering analysis methods in data mining field can well mine knowledge and information hidden in complex and massive spatio-temporal data, and density-based clustering is one of the most important clustering methods.However, the traditional DBSCAN clustering algorithm has some drawbacks which are difficult to overcome in parameter selection. For example, the two important parameters of Eps neighborhood and MinPts density need to be set artificially. If the clustering results are reasonable, the more suitable parameters can not be selected according to the guiding principles of parameter setting of traditional DBSCAN clustering algorithm. It can not produce accurate clustering results.To solve the problem of misclassification and density sparsity caused by unreasonable parameter selection in DBSCAN clustering algorithm. In this paper, a DBSCAN-based data efficient density clustering method with improved parameter optimization is proposed. Its evaluation index function (Optimal Distance) is obtained by cycling k-clustering in turn, and the optimal solution is selected. The optimal k-value in k-clustering is used to cluster samples. Through mathematical and physical analysis, we can determine the appropriate parameters of Eps and MinPts. Finally, we can get clustering results by DBSCAN clustering. Experiments show that this method can select parameters reasonably for DBSCAN clustering, which proves the superiority of the method described in this paper.

The paper considers the applied aspects of the use of modern information technologies for an accurateassessment of plant resources using GIS and climate model methods. For the most effective achievement of the goals ofintegrated monitoring and assessment of plant resources, the authors discussed and proposed a number of requirementsfor the initial data, factors affecting the change in the area and the results of the assessment of plant resources. As anavailable free analogue of the method for correcting the spatial unevenness of the points of registration of species inSDMtoolbox (ArcGIS), we proposed the DBSCAN clustering method, which is implemented in the Python library sklearn.
