GIS-Based Fire Risk Assessment and Emergency Response Optimization
Abstract
sudden public safety incident, have brought serious threats to people's lives and property safety and social stability. Geographic Information
System (GIS), as a powerful spatial information processing tool, has been widely applied in the field of fire management due to its advantages
in spatial data integration, analysis and visualization. This paper focuses on the research status of GIS-based fire risk assessment and emergency response optimization, systematically sorts out the application ideas, technical paths and research hotspots of GIS in these two fields,
analyzes the existing problems in the current research, and looks forward to the future development trend, so as to provide a reference for the
in-depth research and practical application of related fields.
