都市震害分析のための防災地理情報システムの構築-1983年の能代市の被害を例として-

Abstract

Disaster information management tools based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are developed for research analysis as same as for emergency operations against the disaster caused by earthquakes, at the Urban Earthquake Hazard Research Center, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University. The system operates on Windows 3.1 basis on personal computers. Several types of damage information on Noshiro City due to the 1983 Nihonkai-chubu Earthquake have been installed in the GIS. Correlation studies among ground shaking, geophysics, ground failure, building damage, lifeline damage and daily inconvenience should provide important information for future disaster mitigation and preparedness studies. GIS-based information is expected to constitute a useful database to understand comprehensively the state of the urban disaster caused by an earthquake from various aspects. Furthermore, damaged buildings and their damage status in Chuo Ward (downtown area) of the City of Kobe due to the 1995 Hyogoken-nambu Earthquake have been compiled on the GIS, and the distribution is presented. A future perspective of the development, now being made on the GIS, is also presented.
