Risk Assessment on Beijing Urban Infrastructure Vulnerability

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation indicator system of urban infrastructure was constructed, and a vulnerability assessment model of urban infrastructure based on AHP method was developed. Taking Beijing as an example, an empirical research based on the date of Beijing urban infrastructure in 2008 was conducted. The research in this paper is a useful exploration on vulnerability assessment, which can provide the foundation and support for governments decision-making on urban disaster prevention and mitigation.
