Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to Qinghai Province as the research object. We use GIS to analyze distribution of natural disasters, such as hail, snow disaster, from 1950 to 2013. Then, obtained the temporal and spatial distribution and law of natural disasters. Results show that: (1) Qinghai occurred 15 times drought which reached 31.5 %, between 1960 to 2010. (2) The high incidence areas of drought are Xining City and Haidong area, and sub high incidence areas are southwest Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures and west Haixi Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures, and the relatively low frequency of disasters in other areas. (3) From the spatial distribution, the most areas of snow disaster concentrated in the six counties of Yushu Prefectures and Guoluo Prefectures. (4) From the time distribution, the most serious areas of snow disaster are Yushu and Guoluo Prefectures.
