- Abstract:
-
According to the theory of mountain torrent disaster system, based on the characteristics of mountain torrent disaster in Jiangxi Province, nine factors were selected to determine the impact of mountain torrent disaster from three aspects including trigger factors, the underlying surface of the disaster environment and the relief body. We took the historical data of the mountain torrent disaster as the positive sample set, five groups of random samples as a negative sample set to form the total sample set, and randomized the training samples and test samples, respectively. Through training samples, the estimation models were set up based on the random forest. Accuracy assessment showed an average accuracy of 86.26%, which indicated the satisfying performance of random forest model. Based on the mapping of mountain torrent disaster risk assessment, statistical analyses were carried out according to different administrative areas. The results showed that Jingdezhen and Shangrao were the most vulnerable to mountain flood disaster as they had both relative and absolute larger values in the higher or greater area of the risk degree of the mountain flood disaster.
