Risk Assessment of Drought Based on IEAPP-IDM in Qujing, Yunnan Province, China

الملخص EN

A new model for risk assessment of drought based on projection pursuit optimized by immune evolutionary algorithm and information diffusion method (IEAPP-IDM) was proposed.

Due to the fact that drought risk assessment is a complex multicriteria and multilevel problem, the IEAPP-IDM model can project the multidimensional indicators of samples into one-dimension projection scores; then, the information carried by the projection scores was diffused into drought risk levels; finally, the drought disaster risk estimate was obtained.

In the present study, Qujing was employed to assess the drought risk with the proposed model.

The results showed that Xuanwei possessed higher risk, while Luliang and Zhanyi possessed lower risk.

At the same time, the probability risk of drought in Malong and Luoping was increasing, while the probability risk of drought in in Qilin and Shizong was decreasing.

The results obtained by the assessment model are consistent with the actual situation of Qujing and verify the model’s effectiveness.

The study can provide scientific reference in drought risk management for Qujing and other places of China.
