Risk Assessment of Geological Hazards Based on Multi-Condition Development Scenarios: A Case Study of Huangshi Town, Guangdong Province
Source abstract
Abstract
This study focuses on Huangshi Town, Longchuan County, Guangdong Province, as the research area. By utilizing existing data and field surveys, the study identifies geological hazards and risks in the area, deeply analyzes the formation mechanisms and disaster-causing patterns, and systematically summarizes the developmental characteristics and spatial distribution of these hazards. Methodologically, the research combines regular grids and slope units, selecting ten evaluation factors for correlation analysis. The information theory model is used to assess disaster susceptibility. The study further evaluates the impact of three rainfall scenarios—100 mm of rainfall over 24 h, 250 mm of rainfall over 24 h, and 240 mm of effective rainfall over 72 h—on geological disasters in Huangshi Town. As a result, a comprehensive hazard assessment under multiple rainfall scenarios is produced. The findings show that the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) accuracy of the disaster-susceptibility evaluation reaches 0.8739, ensuring high data quality for the geological hazard assessment in Huangshi Town. The zoning results align closely with field survey observations. In conclusion, incorporating rainfall as a triggering factor enhances the accuracy of the susceptibility analysis by better capturing the temporal and spatial patterns of landslide occurrences, thereby offering a more comprehensive understanding of the geological hazard development in the study area.
