“…Our analyses also yield a similar annual growth rate of approximately 1.2% in the flood hazard areas from 1995 to 2015 (Table 2). He et al (2016) found a higher population growth rate in China's hazard areas for earthquakes (over 33%), as compared to the national average (18%). Our results show a consistent, albeit slightly lower, population growth trend in the hazard areas for earthquakes (32% in the LF-HAs and 21% in the HF-HAs, respectively) ( Table 2).…”

“…Sun et al (2017) provided projections of future changes in population exposure to droughts for the Haihe River Basin, with a decrease of 30% and an increase of 75% in the 1.5°C and 2.0°C global warming scenarios, respectively. China is also facing great risks of earthquakes (He et al 2016;Huang et al 2019). Wu et al (2017) concluded that roughly 15% of China's asset values and 14% of GDP were in areas prone to earthquakes.…”

“…Second, along with urbanization, the population increased by 32.53 million, and the rate of population change reached 33.6% in MSHAs from 1990 to 2010. Additionally, one-tenth of the Chinese population lived in MSHAs in 2010 (He et al 2016). Based on China's multi-temporal land use/cover datasets (1 km 2 grids) provided by Liu et al (2014) and an overlay analysis based on the extents of MSHAs, within two decades, the area of built-up land increased by over 5285 km 2 , and the rate of increase reached 24.5%.…”

“…The Chinese Earthquake Administration provided an updated seismic ground motion parameter zonation (SGMPZ) map (GB 18306-2015) in 2015 (General Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine of PRC 2015). SGMPZ provides the distribution of peak ground acceleration (PGA, a measure of the maximum ground shaking) with a 10% probability of exceedance over a period of 50 years (He et al 2016). PGA is generally correlated with the macroseismic intensities of the earthquake, and it is commonly applied by engineers and government agencies to determine building and infrastructure codes.…”
