In contrast to Mongolia, family-owned land in Inner Mongolia is separated by fences, preventing the free movement of nomads and leading people to rely heavily on the same source of groundwater for their domestic water needs.

Formative Scenario Analysis

Abstract. During the entire procedure of risk assessment for hydrologic hazards, the selection of consistent and reliable scenarios, constructed in a strictly systematic way, is fundamental for the quality and reproducibility of the results. However, subjective assumptions on relevant impact variables such as sediment transport intensity on the system loading side and weak point response mechanisms repeatedly cause biases in the results, and consequently affect transparency and required quality standards. Furthermore, the system response of mitigation measures to extreme event loadings represents another key variable in hazard assessment, as well as the integral risk management including intervention planning. Formative Scenario Analysis, as a supplement to conventional risk assessment methods, is a technique to construct well-defined sets of assumptions to gain insight into a specific case and the potential system behaviour. By two case studies, carried out (1) to analyse sediment transport dynamics in a torrent section equipped with control measures, and (2) to identify hazards induced by woody debris transport at hydraulic weak points, the applicability of the Formative Scenario Analysis technique is presented. It is argued that during scenario planning in general and with respect to integral risk management in particular, Formative Scenario Analysis allows for the development of reliable and reproducible scenarios in order to design more specifically an application framework for the sustainable assessment of natural hazards impact. The overall aim is to optimise the hazard mapping and zoning procedure by methodologically integrating quantitative and qualitative knowledge.

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Environmental risk assessment in the mining resources development has to be assessed in terms of sustainability gap in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Consequently, this paper attempts to predict the amount of environmental risk and the subsequent economic impact on Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. For this reason, this paper aims to find the patterns of environmental risk that will lead to efficiency improvement in the entire mining industry. Through this study, major environmental problems of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have been identified, and the environmental risk evaluation model and close value method is applied to the analysis of the environment of atmosphere, surface water, noise, surface destruction and coal wasting accumulation in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The results show that except noise, the environment of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region faces significant pressure and need to be acknowledged. It is urgent to develop energy-saving and energy-harvesting technologies for mining industrial sectors in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

As forest fires are becoming a recurrent and severe issue in China, their temporal-spatial information and risk assessment are crucial for forest fire prevention and reduction. Based on provincial-level forest fire data during 1998–2017, this study adopts principal component analysis, clustering analysis, and the information diffusion theory to estimate the temporal-spatial distribution and risk of forest fires in China. Viewed from temporality, China’s forest fires reveal a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. Viewed from spatiality, provinces characterized by high population density and high coverage density are seriously affected, while eastern coastal provinces with strong fire management capabilities or western provinces with a low forest coverage rate are slightly affected. Through the principal component analysis, Hunan (1.33), Guizhou (0.74), Guangxi (0.51), Heilongjiang (0.48), and Zhejiang (0.46) are found to rank in the top five for the severity of forest fires. Further, Hunan (1089), Guizhou (659), and Guanxi (416) are the top three in the expected number of general forest fires, Fujian (4.70), Inner Mongolia (4.60), and Heilongjiang (3.73) are the top three in the expected number of large forest fires, and Heilongjiang (59,290), Inner Mongolia (20,665), and Hunan (5816) are the top three in the expected area of the burnt forest.

Chemical Spills

ABSTRACT During a spill and at the contingency planning phase, there are three main stages to consider in dealing with a chemical incident at sea: risk identification, risk assessment, and emergency response. The incident of the multitank Ascania is used in the paper to illustrate how this decision process works in a real spill using 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, 366-days-a-year response services. The role of software tools for providing rapid, reliable, and relevant information is discussed within the context of these tools being used by trained emergency responders. The paper then illustrates how scenario analysis and running marine chemical spill exercises can be used to plan for a response to chemical spills.
