Flood disasters pose serious threats to human life and property worldwide.Exploring the spatial drivers of flood disasters on a macroscopic scale is of great significance for mitigating their impacts.This study proposes a comprehensive framework for integrating driving-factor optimization and interpretability,while considering spatial heterogeneity.In this framework,the Optimal Parameter-based Geographic Detector(OPGD),Recursive Feature Estimation(RFE),and Light Gradient Boosting Machine(LGBM)mod-els were utilized to construct the OPGD-RFE-LGBM coupled model to identify the essential driving fac-tors and simulate the spatial distribution of flood disasters.The SHapley Additive ExPlanation(SHAP)interpreter was employed to quantitatively explain the driving mechanisms behind the spatial distribu-tion of flood disasters.Yunnan Province,a typical mountainous and plateau area in Southwest China,was selected to implement the proposed framework and conduct a case study.For this purpose,a flood dis-aster inventory of 7332 historical events was prepared,and 22 potential driving factors related to precip-itation,surface environment,and human activity were initially selected.Results revealed that flood disasters in Yunnan Province exhibit high spatial heterogeneity,with geomorphic zoning accounting for 66.1%of the spatial variation in historical flood disasters.The OPGD-RFE-LGBM coupled model offers clear advantages over a single LGBM in identifying essential driving factors and quantitatively analyzing their impacts.Moreover,the simulation performance shows a slight improvement(a 6%average decrease in RMSE and an average increase of 1%in R2)even with reduced factor data.Factor explanatory analysis indicated that the combination of the essential driving factor sets varied across different subregions;nev-ertheless,precipitation-related factors,such as precipitation intensity index(SDII),wet days(R10MM),and 5-day maximum precipitation(RX5day),were the main driving factors controlling flood disasters.This study provides a quantitative analytical framework for the spatial drivers of flood disasters at large scales with significant heterogeneity,offering a reference for disaster management authorities in devel-oping macro-strategies for disaster prevention.
