description <p>Debris flow is one of the main causes of loss of life and infrastructure damage in mountainous areas. This hazard should be recognized in the early stage of land development planning. According to field investigation and expert experience, a scientific and effective quantitative susceptibility assessment model was established in Pinggu District of Beijing. This model is based on geographic information system (GIS) combined with grey relational, data-driven and fuzzy logic methods. The influence factors, which are divided into two categories and consistent with the system characteristics of a debris flow gully, are selected, but also a new important factor is proposed. The results of the 17 models are verified using data published by the authority and validated by two other indexes, as well as area under curve (AUC). Through the comparison and analysis of the results, we believe that the streamlining of factors and scientific classification should attract attention from other researchers to optimize a model. We also propose a good perspective to make better use of the watershed feature parameters. These parameters fit well with the watershed units. With full use of insufficient data, scientific calculation and reliable results, the final optimal susceptibility map could potentially help decision makers in determining regional-scale land use planning and debris flow hazard mitigation. The model has advantages in economically weak areas with insufficient data in mountainous areas because of its simplicity, interpretability and engineering usefulness.</p>
