Description

As a densely populated and functionally complex core area, mega-city rail transit stations and their surrounding areas are particularly vulnerable to sudden disasters, which can easily lead to secondary disasters due to traffic disruption and crowd retention, seriously affecting the economic sustainability of the city and social security. In the event of natural disasters, the safe and rapid evacuation of a large number of passengers relies not only on the site's own emergency response mechanism, but also on the coordination and integration of the surrounding regional disaster prevention facilities, evacuation path planning and overall regional disaster prevention layout. Therefore, in the high-density development of rail hub areas, scientific assessment and optimization of disaster prevention capacity, the construction of stations and the surrounding area of the overall disaster prevention strategy, to improve the urban disaster prevention and mitigation system, to improve the resilience of the city is of great significance.

Based on the concept of area disaster prevention, this paper constructs an evaluation model of area disaster prevention capacity for public spaces around mega-city rail stations, takes rail stations and their surrounding areas as an overall research and optimization unit, explores the deep-rooted factors affecting the disaster prevention capacity of the area, identifies the deficiencies of the existing disaster prevention system in the public space, and puts forward targeted improvement strategies accordingly. In the study, representative rail transit stations are selected, and based on the model results, the disaster prevention capability of the surrounding public space is systematically evaluated, and combined with the optimization of specific spatial strategies, the disaster prevention capability of the area around the rail stations is improved.

By focusing on the overall disaster prevention strategy of the rail transit station area in mega-cities, this study promotes the practical application of disaster prevention concepts in high-density development areas, provides a scientific basis for urban public space planning and management, and provides practical experience and theoretical support for improving urban disaster prevention resilience and reducing disaster risks.
