Analyzing Hazard Potential of Typhoon Damage by Applying Grey Analytic Hierarchy Process

This study develops a model using the grey analytic hierarchy process to analyze hazard potential of typhoon damage. The main component of the model is the grey analytic hierarchy process involving the analytic hierarchy process and grey relational analysis. First, the model is employed to determine the hazard potential indices. Each region in the project area is then divided into various classes using the two breaking points method to classify appropriately the hazard potential indices. The map of classified hazard potential in the project area can enable decision makers to establish a strategy for preventing flood disaster. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004
