First, nine indicators such as slope and precipitation intensity are extracted from four aspects: objective inclusiveness, subjective prevention, etc. Secondly, the entropy weight method in the multi-attribute decision making (MADM) model and the improved three-dimensional technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (3D-TOPSIS) method were combined to construct a flood defense capacity index evaluation system. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Taylor plot method were innovatively used to test the model and indicators. The results show that nationwide, there is fine flood defense performance in Shandong, Jiangsu and room for improvement in Guangxi, Chongqing, Tibet and Qinghai. The good representativity of nine indicators selected by the model was verified by the Taylor plot. Simultaneously, the ROC calculated area under the curve (AUC) was 70%, which proved the good problem-solving ability of the MADM-GIS model. An accurate assessment of the sensitivity of flood control capacity in China was achieved, and it is suitable for situations where data is scarce or discontinuous. It provided scientific reference value for the planning and implementation of China\u2019s flood defense and disaster reduction projects and emergency safety strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24060772","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]],"date-time":"2022-05-30T10:05:14Z","timestamp":1653905114000},"page":"772","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Spatial-Temporal Sensitivity Analysis of Flood Control Capability in China Based on MADM-GIS Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Weihan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering in Arid and Semiarid Areas of Ministry of Education, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"},{"name":"College of Water Resources and Architecture Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xianghe","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering in Arid and Semiarid Areas of Ministry of Education, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"},{"name":"College of Water Resources and Architecture Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weihua","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering in Arid and Semiarid Areas of Ministry of Education, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"},{"name":"College of Water Resources and Architecture Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenfeng","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Soil and Water Engineering in Arid and Semiarid Areas of Ministry of Education, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"},{"name":"College of Water Resources and Architecture Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ailei","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Water Resources and Architecture Engineering, Northwest A&F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"124","article-title":"Using GIS Grid Dataset to Simulate and Identify Flooding Risks in Irrigation Areas in Yarkant in Xinjiang","volume":"39","author":"Peng","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
