Geological disaster monitoring and disaster resilience planning along China-Nepal corridor

Abstract:

The China-Nepal Corridor, which runs across the "third pole of the world", the Himalayas, is very sensitive to global climate change and is the focus area of climate change, response and adaptation research. Meanwhile, as the core part of the "Belt and Road Initiative" China-Nepal-India economic corridor, the heartland of the Himalayan economic zone and the gateway to support Tibet's opening to the world and economic and trade development. How to monitoring the geological disaster and
realize disaster resilient planing and construction of the corridor has attracted global attention. Through the remote sensing data and filed survey to identify the high risk settlements by assessing the landslide risk of buildings, and combine with the current situation and expected development of local settlements, put forward the scientific planning of settlement space form, internal space, external space, disaster mutual assistance and full cycle disaster management under the guidance of human settlements theory, so as to help improve the aggregation along the road. The aim of this research is not to plan local settlements, but to objectively describe and predict the current situation of local geographical environment and disaster management from the perspective of planning.
