Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the regional environment of cultural relic buildings in a forest environment is complex, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the regional firefighting and rescue ability, an evaluation method of firefighting and rescue ability of a single cultural relic building coupled with forest factors was constructed based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which covered 19 secondary indicators such as building materials, forest fire separation zones, and fire water sources. Based on single-unit assessment, a firefighting and rescue capacity assessment model based on the variable-rights method was established from the regional perspective for the centralized area of cultural relics buildings in the forest environment. A mixed-type variable-rights function dominated by penalties was introduced. The model was established by setting up the evaluation strategy, determining the penalties and incentives intervals, differentiating the protection level of cultural relics buildings, and putting forward the risk level division method. The firefighting and rescue capacity of the forest environment heritage building concentration area (Yuelu mountain scenic spot) was evaluated by combining the fixed-rights method and variable-rights method through field research and data collection. The results show that the number of individual heritage buildings rated as 'excellent, good, moderate, substandard, poor' accounted for '12%, 20%, 32%, 20% and 16%'. For the centralized area, the fixed-rights method scored 75.27 (Level III, no need to take upgrading measures), while the variable-rights method scored 69.97 (Level IV, need to take upgrading measures). Therefore, it is recommended that measures such as installing additional electrical fire warning systems and increasing forest fire breaks be taken to enhance firefighting and rescue capabilities.

Key words: forest fire, cultural relics and buildings, concentrated area, firefighting and rescue capability, capacity assessment, variable-rights
