Research on Characteristics and Influencing Factors of High Temperature Disaster Risk in Wuhan Based on Local Climate Zone by Shujing GUO, Li ZHANG

“…Overlaying the LCZ maps with the normalized high temperature disaster risk maps, it can be seen that, among the building types, sparse built-up area (LCZ 9) has the lowest average value of high temperature disaster risk, and the average value of high temperature disaster risk is significantly higher than that of the other building types in large low-rise buildings (LCZ 8) and heavy industrial buildings (LCZ 10), which are mainly industrial plants and heavy industrial zones with large building area. Among the natural environment types, water area (LCZ G) has the lowest average value of high temperature disaster risk, which indicates that water can effectively mitigate the risk of high temperature disaster; while for bare rock (LCZ E), exposed sand (LCZ F), and construction building (LCZ H) exposed outdoor, they typically have higher values of high temperature disaster risk due to solar radiation for a long time. …”
