Abstract: Abstract In order to scientifically assess the risk of urban crowded places and improve the safety of urban crowded places. Firstly, 25 typical cases of accidents in urban crowded places were coded at 3 levels using the rooting theory, and 16 risk factors were extracted. Based on this, the causal relationship between the 16 factors was analyzed using the DEMATEL method to obtain a comprehensive influence matrix, and the ISM method was applied to obtain a multi-layer recursive structure model of the risk factors. Using the MICMAC method, the driving forces and dependencies were calculated and a quadrant diagram was drawn. The study shows that: crowd disturbance behavior, crowd density and flow rate, and directional signs are the direct causes of accidents in urban crowded places; managerial response capability, security agencies and management status, and safety inspection are the root causes of accidents. The results of the study can provide a strong reference basis for effective early warning and control of safety risks in crowded urban places.
