Every year, more than 50,000 wildland fires affect about 500,000ha of vegetation in southern European countries, particularly in wildland-urban interfaces (WUI). This paper presents a method to characterize and map WUIs at large scales and over large areas for wildland fire prevention in the South of France. Based on the combination of four types of building configuration and three classes of vegetation structure, 12 interface types were classified. Through spatial analysis, fire ignition density and burned area ratio were linked with the different types of WUI. Among WUI types, isolated WUIs with the lowest housing density represent the highest level of fire risk.
每年,南欧国家有超过 5 万场野火影响约 50 万公顷的植被,特别是在城乡结合部。本文提出了一种在法国南部大规模、大面积进行野火预防的方法,用于描述和绘制城乡结合部。基于四种建筑配置类型和三种植被结构类别,将 12 种接口类型进行了分类。通过空间分析,将火灾点火密度和燃烧面积比与不同类型的城乡结合部联系起来。在城乡结合部类型中,住房密度最低的孤立城乡结合部代表着最高的火灾风险。
