Abstract

In order to improve the emergency management ability of urban communities in response to emergencies and reduce the losses caused by emergencies, based on the method of Cone-Analytic Network Process (Cone-ANP), a whole-process community emergency management ability evaluation method was proposed. Using around 25 evaluation indexes from six dimensions, namely infrastructure resilience, community organization resilience, risk management, emergency material support, emergency force building, and emergency literacy, this method established the dominant relationship of each index by the analysis of the cone network structure. It determined the community safety culture construction as the cone-top element, and obtained the limit weight vector of all the evaluation indexes by expert evaluation. The membership degree of each index was calculated to quantify the evaluation results of community emergency management ability. The results could provide a guidance and reference basis for community emergency management.

Keywords: Cone-ANP; community emergency management; index system; membership degree; weight.
