Abstract
⺠We present a method to map WUI according to housing and vegetation structure. ⺠Fire incidence to WUI is higher at medium-low housing densities and medium aggregation of vegetation. ⺠Fire risk at WUI depends on landscape character. Fire occurrence and fire spread capacity are the main influencing factors. ⺠A catalog of WUI Situations is a useful tool to achieve an efficient fire management adapted to WUI needs.
