Abstract:

In order to study the spatial distribution characteristic of regional forest fires in Hunan, forest fire data of 102 counties (cities) of Hunan in 11 years (form 2000 to 2010), forest fire emergency personnel data of 2010 and forest resource content in Hunan were investigated and arranged. Forest resource quantity, spatial distribution map of forest fire frequency and spatial trend prediction graph of forest fire were finished by using ArcGIS, then overlaid with spatial distribution map of forest fire emergency personnel. The results showed that spatial distribution characteristic of forest fire emergency personnel in Hunan mainly included: distribution of forest fire emergency personnel was less in some counties and cities which owned large forest resource quantity and high frequency of forest fire, and 4 forest fire trend centers of high frequency, but the distribution of emergency personnel was more in 3 forest fire trend centers of low frequency. The conclusion indicated: spatial distribution of emergency personnel of regional forest fire should accord with spatial distribution characteristic of forest resource quantity, frequency of forest fire, and spatial trend prediction of forest fire. Distribution of emergency personnel should be more in the regions which occupied large part of forest resource quantity, high frequency of forest fire and strong occur trend of forest fire, and vice versa. Spatial distribution of forest fire emergency personnel in Hunan was unreasonable and should be adjusted.
