摘要

Earthquakes have serious impacts on human health, economy, life, lack of basic needs, and mental health. The main objective of the article is to provide a map of earthquake risk zones, compared with the MSK seismic intensity scale to divide safe areas and dangerous areas, thereby providing appropriate warning measures for people to avoid. Based on the distribution of accelerometers and the origin of earthquakes, applying the theory of statistics in geography, this study presents the process of data collection and processing, data analysis, running models, testing the results, then selecting a forecast model suitable for the data set and providing the results of the earthquake impact forecast map with high reliability. The prediction error is very small. This study opens up a new research direction on the application of Geographic Statistics to related fields such as: mineral exploitation, oil and gas, geology, oil and gas, etc.
