Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)

This is a polygon data set depicting the areas designated by the City of Boise as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). WUI is defined as the area where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. These areas have an increased likelihood that wildfires will threaten structures and people. The purpose of the dataset is to define areas with higher wildfire risk and subject those areas to increased FIREWISE standards for development. As a result of the Oregon Trail Heights fire in the late summer of 2008, the City Council passed Ordinance # 0-7A-10 adopting the new regulations for the WUI into the City’s fire code in early 2010. The ordinance establishes a range of responses including new fire code standards for construction, fuels mitigation and education in WUI areas.本数据集为多边形数据集，描绘了博伊西市（City of Boise）划定的野生城市交界区（Wildland-Urban Interface, WUI）范围。野生城市交界区（WUI）的定义为：人工构筑物与其他人类开发区域与未开发荒野地带接壤或相互混杂的区域。此类区域发生野火威胁构筑物与人员的概率显著提升。本数据集的核心用途为划定野火风险更高的区域，并要求此类区域在开发过程中执行更严格的FIREWISE标准。受2008年夏末俄勒冈步道高地（Oregon Trail Heights）野火事件影响，博伊西市议会于2010年初通过第0-7A-10号条例，将针对WUI区域的全新监管要求纳入该市消防法规。该条例确立了一系列应对举措，包括针对WUI区域的建筑施工消防新标准、野火燃料减排规范及相关宣教工作。
