Abstract

With the development of tourism and the acceleration of urbanization, tourist cities have sprung up like bamboo shoots. Large population flow and more cultural relics are the characteristics of the current tourist city, which brings greater fire risk. The current research pays little attention to fire safety problems in tourist cities. This article takes the urban area of Dujiangyan, a tourist city, as the research object, and uses the superposition tool of GIS to make a fire risk grade map with a total of 9 factors of regional characteristics and architectural characteristics superimposed by weight. The result shows that there are still many areas with high fire risk in Dujiangyan, such as the ancient urban area where tourists gather and the southwest sub-area of Dujiangyan urban area. Based on the positioning and distribution model, 6 new fire station layout points are selected, and the responsibility division map of 9 fire stations in Dujiangyan City is finally obtained, which provides a reference for the layout of fire stations in Dujiangyan City.
