Locally concentrated heavy rainfall has led to an increase in the occurrence of flood damage. This is especially so in the urban areas, which are relatively more vulnerable to flood damage due to the high population and property density. In Seoul, which has 25 administrative districts, heavy rainfall triggered flood-related damage in 2010, 2011, and 2018. However, the flood characteristics of each district were different due to difference in flood impact factors such as topography, weather, and disaster prevention measures. The flood vulnerability of each district should be assessed based on local characteristics to reduce flood damage. This study collected and calculated 15 characteristic data points that can explain the climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of each district using the entropy weight method. Thereafter, the flood vulnerability of each district was calculated based on climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, using the Euclidean method. The results showed that the northern and western areas in Seoul are highly vulnerable due to high climate exposure, sensitivity, and low adaptive capacity. In contrast, the other parts of Seoul had low vulnerability due to high sensitivity, low climate exposure, and high adaptive capacity. These results will contribute to the establishment of a flood damage reduction plan that reflects local characteristics.

The Impact

According to the No. 13 Mine of Pingdingshan Coal Co. Ltd., the fault dimension of the study area is calculated based on fractal theory. The four impact factors such as water inflow, water pressure, water inrush coefficient, and fault fractal dimension of 21 water boreholes are used as evaluation indices, and a mathematical model for identifying the water-filled source of the coal seam floor is established by coupling an entropy weight method and fuzzy variable set theory. The model is used to identify the water-filled source of 7 boreholes, which provide a reliable reference for the identification of the water-filled source. According to the calculation result of the entropy weight method, the water volume per unit of the borehole and the groundwater pressure have a significant impact on the water source identification, which accounts for 89.93% of the weight value. In the fuzzy variable set model, when the distance parameter p is 1 and the optimization criterion parameter α is 2, the accuracy of the water sample identification of the water source category to be identified is 85.71%, which is at a high recognition level. The more typical the impact factors selected and the more samples, the accuracy of water-filled source identification is much higher.

In recent years, various large- and medium-sized shopping malls have been essential components of each city with the speed-up of China’s urbanization process and the improvement of residents’ living standard. A method for evaluating fire risk in shopping malls based on quantified safety checklist and structure entropy weight method was proposed according to related literatures as well as laws and regulations by analyzing the characteristics of fires occurring in shopping malls in recent years. At first, the factors influencing the fire risk in shopping malls were determined by carrying out on-site survey and visiting related organizations to construct an evaluation index system for fires occurring in shopping malls; afterwards, a quantified safety checklist composed of four parts (i.e. safety grade, grade description, scoring criterion and index quantification) was established based on related laws and regulations; subsequently, index weights were determined by utilizing structure entropy weight method, thus putting forward a method for assessing fire risk in shopping malls based on quantified safety checklist and structure entropy weight method. Eventually, the applicability of the evaluation method was validated exampled by Wal-Mart. The research result provides a theoretical basis for further improvement of the theoretical system for fire risk evaluation in shopping malls, and also exerts practical and guidance significance on timeous and effective early warning as well as prevention and control of building fires.
