Spatial patterns of fire occurrence in Catalonia, NE, Spain [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2004 In this paper, we analyse spatial patterns of fire occurrence in Catalonia (NE Spain) during 1975-98. Fire scar maps, discriminated by means of 30-60 m resolution remote sensing imagery, have been used as a source of fire occurrence. We employ several visual or analytical approaches to interpret fire occurrence in this region, such as those of Minnich ...

Deriving a Fire Occurrence Scenario Using Fire-Statistical Causation [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation, 2021 According to the statistics obtained by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2019, approximately 40% of the buildings in the nation are buildings aged 30 or more years after completion. The Framework Act on Firefighting Services does not apply to old buildings, and they fall into a blind spot of the fire safety performance system.
