Construction of Risk Assessment Indicator System for Hypothermia in Outdoor Sports Events from the Perspective of Stakeholders
Against the backdrop of the vigorous development of outdoor sports events,strengthening risk prevention and safety management of outdoor sports events has become an important issue.Among them,hypothermia accidents occur frequently and have serious consequences.Therefore,it is of practical significance to carry out scientific risk assessment of hypothermia in outdoor sports events.Based on the the theory of hypothermia and relevant literature on hypothermia risks in outdoor sports at home and abroad,initial indicators for hypothermia risk assessment in out-door sports events were extracted.The Delphi method was adopted to screen and establish evaluation indicators for hypothermia risks in outdoor sports events,and the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)was used to calculate the weight values of each indicator.The results showed that among the first-level indicators,the organizational manage-ment(39.96%)and natural environment(31.79%)were the main risk assessment factors;secondary indicators such as temperature,humidity,wind force,meteorological monitoring services and information sharing,degree of water exposure,outdoor experience in cold environments,communication skills,dedicated safety,rescue and med-ical personnel,staff training in hypothermia prevention and response,and warming clothing worn by participants should be the focus of hypothermia risk monitoring for outdoor sports events.As to the main stakeholders,meteoro-logical service departments serve as the information providers and technology supporters,event organizers are the decision-makers and responsible party for early risk prevention decisions,and competitors are the information re-ceivers and consequences bearers.Collaboration among major stakeholders around risk factors can prevent the oc-currence of hypothermia risks.This study has theoretical significance in expanding the research scope of single acci-dent types in outdoor sports events and consolidating the comprehensive evaluation foundation for event risk re-search.
