| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 土木工程系土木與防災博士班 === 106 === This paper adopted the Analytic Hierarchy Process （AHP） to assess the fire risk in 17 villages in Taishan District, New Taipei City. Fire risk was divided into the constructs probability of fire and fire severity, which collectively comprised 9 assessment items and 34 assessment indices. The weights of the constructs were quantified and collated into a matrix in order to assess the fire risk ratings. Moreover, all data of the assessment indices were obtained from local government databases. It’s highly accurate and easy to access, enabling repaid promotion and application in the future.
This is the first study to assess fire risk at the lowest administration level （village） in Taiwan. Compared with previous studies that assessed fire risk at the city （county） or district （township, city, and district） levels, the results of the study have greater practicability and reference value.
The annual average number of fire instances or fire damage area of the villages over a 10-year period （2005 to 2015） were used to verify the probability of fire and fire severity assessment outcomes. The results revealed that the assessment outcomes were highly accurate. The findings obtained in this study can facilitate the assessment of regional fire risk, and also serve as a reference for the planning and promotion of developing fire prevention strategies.
