Vulnerability and Its Changes of Flood Disaster-bearing Bodies in Xiangqiao District of Chaozhou City
an evaluation system of flood disaster-bearing bodies' vulnerability was constructed by indexes of the conditions of population
economy
lifeline engineering and environment. Then
the model was used to evaluate the vulnerability in Xiangqiao district in Chaozhou City of Guangdong Province during 2000 to 2010. The results showed that vulnerability in Xiangqiao district decreased in fluctuation
and it had two turning-points in 2004 and 2008
the main influencing factors of which were population growth and vegetation coverage rate. Several measures should be taken to reduce the vulnerability of flood disaster-bearing bodies in the study area
which include to control the increase of population
to increase the coverage of vegetation
and to increase the density of drainage pipe network.
