Abstract:Based on the high-resolution hourly precipitation intensity and frequency, topography, vegetation index (NDVI) and socio-economic data, integrated GIS and analytic hierarchy Process (AHP) and other methods, this paper analyzes the risk of flood disaster causing factors, disaster-induced environmental sensitivity and the vulnerability of disaster bearing bodies. The detailed characteristics of rainstorm and flood disaster risk in Yili River basin are given and risk zoning is carried out. The results showed as follows: 1) In the Ili River Basin, the area of high risk area (risk index ≥3.96) accounted for the largest proportion, about 40.74%, the area of medium risk area accounted for 27%, the area of high risk area and low risk area accounted for 25.04% and 5.76%, respectively, while the area of very low risk area accounted for the least, about 1.617%. 2) The flood hazard, sensitivity, vulnerability and risk levels all showed a decreasing trend from northwest to southeast. Precipitation intensity and frequency, NDVI and social and economic development are the key factors that determine the degree of flood risk in the Ili River basin, which should be paid attention to in disaster prevention and reduction planning and design. The areas with high and extremely high flood risk are mainly concentrated in the western and eastern sections of the northern mountainous area of the Ili River basin and the southern mountainous area, that is, Horgos City, Huocheng County, Yining County, eastern Nilek County, Xinyuan County and Zhaosu County, which is consistent with the historical disaster distribution.
