Abstract

The ability in urban non-engineering earthquake disaster reduction is important to reduce the earthquake disaster in the city, but it contains many factors, which are related to the spatial distribution of the city. In order to evaluating the ability reasonably, in this paper, we use the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) to analyze the influencing factors of urban non-engineering earthquake disaster reduction, establish a multi-level structure model, determine the impact weight of the facts. We also embed it inside the Arc GIS platform with the spatial distribution of the city to form database. The system for assessment of urban non-engineering earthquake disaster reduction ability developed in this study can achieve the rapid evaluation, results visualization and increase the effectiveness of decision-making activities. This study provides a strong support for the future urban non-engineering earthquake disaster mitigation planning.
