Abstract

In order to design food-risk prevention and control planning better, according to a detailed investigation of food-risk information, in this study, GIS software is applied to determined and quantify the food-risk evaluation index, the weights were gotten using a method combining the qualitative analysis with quantitative calculation, food-risk risk was evaluated in weighted sum method. Food accidents threaten the safety of life and property, affecting the sustainable social and economic development. Risk assessment is scientific and effective basis for the implementation of accident prevention and mitigation measures. The combination of GIS technology and accident risk assessment is rapidly becoming the global accident research focus is the irreversible trend of development.
