Abstract
- The disequilibrium in different fire causes was analyzed by considering province, month and hour. The spatial and temporal distribution characteristic between fire causes and influence factors were investigated based on Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve, which provided a novel method and perspective to measure the disequilibrium of fire occurrence. Seven causes of fires were chosen and there existed an obvious disequilibrium between different provinces. It illustrated that playing with fire tend to keep an extreme disequilibrium both in month and hour. The high-risk factors were explored and these factors should be paid more attention. The results enhance understanding of the spatial and temporal pattern of fires and contribute to the improvement of fire prevention and management strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
