Multi-criteria decision-making method for emergency shelter site selection considering flood risk: A case study of Zhuhai, China by Bo Liu, Yingbing Li, Yan Zhang, Zhichao Wu, Yansong Pan, Meiquan Li

“…However, the existing site selection schemes are not comprehensive enough in the selection of influencing factors and the design of decision-making algorithms, making it difficult to cope with complex flood relief scenarios. To address these two issues, this study innovatively proposes a new multi-criteria decision-making model for selecting urban emergency shelter sites. (1) For the first time, the model systematically classifies the factors affecting the location of emergency shelter sites into four categories: hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and relief capacity, from which 11 decision-making indicators, such as flood risk, precipitation, and slope, are selected; (2) The model integrates multiple algorithms, including analytic hierarchy process, entropy weight method, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and TOPSIS, during the decision-making process, and is capable of comprehensively weighing the expert's subjective preferences, objective indicator levels and the relationship between multiple indicators to achieve a more reasonable ranking. …”
