RISK ASSESSMENT ON THE GEOHAZARDS IN ALPINE AND GORGE REGION OF EASTERN TIBET: A Case Study of Gonjo County

The risk assessment is carried out based on the geohazard survey in Gonjo County of Tibet. Seven assessment factors, namely slope, historical geohazard density, engineering rock assemblage, linear structure density, vegetation coverage, drainage density and average annual rainfall, are optimized and grading standards are established according to the geological and geographical features. The GIS technology is used to collect and analyze spatial data for quantitative risk assessment. Combined with the principle of mathematical statistics, the spatial distribution of geohazards in the study area is revealed.
