Abstract:Urban waterlogging risk assessment is an effective method for controlling and managing the urban waterlogging disasters and reducing the disaster losses. Based on the framework of waterlogging risk assessment "H (hazard)-E (exposure)-V (vulnerability)", 12 assessment indicators are selected, including the multi-source data such as remote sensing data, POI data, and traditional socio-economic and population data. Combined with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis methods, an urban waterlogging risk assessment model based on multi-source data is constructed. The results show that the overall waterlogging risk in the central urban area of Zhengzhou City gradually decreases from the high-risk central area to the surrounding areas. The high-risk and second high-risk areas are mainly distributed in the central area of the main urban area, the central area of Zhongyuan District, and the eastern area of Jinshui District. The second low-risk and low-risk areas are mainly distributed in the northern area of Huiji District and the mountainous area in the southwestern area of Erqi District. The research results can provide the scientific advice for urban waterlogging risk management in Zhengzhou City.
