Abstract:
Based on the current situation of Lincang city richly endowed with forest resources yet facing high forest fire risk, this study focuses on the feasibility of constructing forest fire prevention and emergency response road networks. Addressing the structural inadequacies of existing roads in forest fire containment and emergency accessibility, it proposes a dual approach of simultaneous new construction and renovation: designating new road construction in critical regions, and conducting standardized upgrading and interconnection of existing crude roads and dead-end roads to establish an efficient and well-adapted forest fire prevention and emergency response road network. Evaluations indicate that the scheme can significantly enhance forest fire containment capacity and emergency rescue delivery efficiency, mitigate the likelihood of major and extraordinary forest fires as well as potential losses, and deliver substantial comprehensive social, ecological and economic benefits.
