As an important spatial carrier in the emergency rescue management system,the emergency rescue base is the foundation for carrying out rescue activities.Through a review of existing research both domestically and internationally,it has been found that there is a lack of research on the planning and design of emergency rescue bases for serving ports,and there is no mature methodology system in place.Based on the practical case of the project,by sorting out the types and risk characteristics of dangerous goods in ports,the special needs of emergency rescue in port areas are clarified,and planning and design methods for emergency rescue bases in dangerous goods port areas are proposed from the aspects of macro layout,land selection,functional structure,construction content,etc.The macro layout should be scientifically based on the number of target objects.The selection of land use site should be based on multiple factors such as higher-level planning,geographical environment,and limiting conditions.When designing the base,it is necessary to coordinate the interrelationships between various functional areas to improve usage efficiency.The determination of construction content should be based on the cargo and accident types in the port area.The research results can serve as a reference for the formulation of special plans and the planning and design of the construction of emergency rescue bases in the port area.
