Abstract:In order to quantitatively evaluate urban karst collapse disaster,based on detailed analysis of the geological conditions,the karst collapse susceptibility in Xuzhou City was evaluated by using eight disaster in-dicators such as the degree of karst development,covering layer lithology,hydrodynamic condition and etc. By applying the method of analytic hierarchy process-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation,the susceptibility zon-ing and mapping of karst collapse assessment in the study area was achieved.Results show that the karst col-lapse grade of Xuzhou can be presented by four categories of susceptibility including high,medium,low and no.The regions which have high karst collapse grade are mainly located in the Solvent factory-Xinsheng street and Denglou water plants-Liangtang water plants in Zhangji water source.The karst water fluctuates near the bedrock surface for a long time,which leading to the karst collapses.So in high collapse prone dis-tricts,we should strengthen the exploitation of karst groundwater control,establish karst subsidence monito-ring and early warning system and prevent the happening of the karst collapse.
