Abstract
China is one of the countries that have been continuously experiencing negative impacts by typhoons Typhoons cause severe damage annually not only to the regional economy but they are also responsible for frequent human casualties This research comprehensively assesses the impact of typhoons across China by using the geographical information system based on time series data between 1980 and 2012 Results indicate that typhoons affected 61 of the total landmass of China during this timeframe with a total affected area of approximately 591 million km2 In addition some coastal regions of southeast China experienced nearly 300 typhoon landfalls The key entities of this study that are used to assess typhoon risk across China include population gross domestic production road networks and land use As a result the vulnerabilities of each entity in the typhoonaffected region of China were calculated before leading to the regional typhoon risk indexes Based on the range of typhoon risk indexes the typhoonaffected areas in China were zoned into four regions with different levels of typhoon risk This research will facilitate decisionmaking by policy makers on the mitigation of typhoon risksThis research was partly supported and funded by three projects and they were the National Key Project of Scientific and Technical Supporting ProgramsNo 2013BAC03B01 the Natural Science Foundation of Chongqing No 2010JJ0069 and the Key National Project of Highresolution Earth Observation System Grant No 05Y30B02900113/1510
