Abstract: According to the fire characteristics in malls, AHP (analytic hierarchy process), which has the advantages in both semi-quantitative methods and qualitative methods, was used to establish fire risk assessment system. Through collecting expert questionnaires, the AHP and cluster analysis were integrated to calculate the index weight value in the system. According to the grading manual, this paper scored each index and calculated the values of the fire risk assessment to confirm the fire risk level of buildings. The practicability and reliability was verified by applying the assessment system in a clothing store in Wuhan. And the assessment system can be used not only in fire evaluation, but also in the insurance and others.

Key words: malls, fire risk assessment, cluster analysis, AHP;expert weight coefficient
