[ES] En este artículo se reflexiona acerca del riesgo recurrente de incendios forestales que sufre España como consecuencia de su localización en la zona mediterránea y de sus factores de riesgo en función de sus características biofísicas y socioeconómicas. Se detalla la metodología empleada en el proyecto FIREGLOBE para diseñar un índice sintético de riesgo de incendio forestal para el territorio de España peninsular con una resolución espacial de 1 km2. Se integran numerosas variables y productos en dos índices intermedios, uno de peligro y otro de vulnerabilidad que, a su vez, sintetiza la vulnerabilidad socioeconómica y ecológica en una escala cuantitativa medida en unidades monetarias comunes. Se explica la armonización de las variables en escalas comunes de medida y los procedimientos de integración y ponderación. Los resultados son transferidos a los usuarios finales a través de un servidor cartográfico en Internet para que puedan ser descargados, vía FTP, e integrados en sus sistemas de evaluación del riesgo.
[EN] This article reflects on the risk of recurrent wildfires that Spain suffers as a result of its location in the Mediterranean and its risk factors in terms of their biophysical and socioeconomic characteristics. It details the methodology used in the project FIREGLOBE to design a synthetic index of forest fire risk for the territory of mainland Spain with a spatial resolution of 1 km2. They integrate many variables and intermediate products at two rates, one of danger and a vulnerability that, in turn, synthesizes socioeconomic and ecological vulnerability on a quantitative scale as common currency units. It explains the harmonization of common varying scales of measurement and integration procedures and weighting. The results are transferred to end users through an Internet map server so they can be downloaded via FTP, and integrated into their risk assessment systems.
