Urban fires are the most common type of urban disaster, and often result in significant loss of life and heavy property losses. In literature, it is common to use a single building or group of buildings as a case study or analyze the building in terms of its type of use, structural features, and other characteristic scales. While urban land use with complex and compatibility, would come with spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity, that result in difference of damage and losses. This study we choose Lukang town, a tourist town in Changhua County, as a case study. And that uses average nearest neighbor to find out the spatial aggregation phenomenon in the building fire, and then uses the kernel density estimation and Getis-Ord’s Gi* spatial statistics find out the building fire potential and the so called“hot spots”. Our results show that the high potential area and the hot spots are concentrated in the urban area. That also indicates that the humanistic socio-economic characteristics and urban spatial characteristics were selected through the urban buildings fire theory. Taking the smallest statistical area as a sample, it is analyzed through multiple linear regression, spatial lag model and spatial error model, and geographically weighted regression. Our empirical findings concluded that the best model is the geographically weighted regression and confirmed the hypothesis of the spatial variability in building fire and regional spatial characteristics. The empirical results show that building fire incidence rate was positively correlated to variables of population density, Elderly population, and area ratio of mixed-use residential district. Therefore, this study can provide a more detailed spatial analysis of structure fire potential and serve as a reference for urban governance and fire prevention planning. |
