Abstract

A GIS is developed for the effective use of information for earthquake disaster mitigation. Data structures on information of disaster mitigation including fault data, soil data, and building data are analyzed using object-oriented approach. The dependency and spatial relationship among data sets are clarified, and databases are established. The GIS is designed as an integration system of a map system, data analysis systems and a wave analysis system. The GIS is implemented using X-Window and the application to earthquake disaster mitigation for Nagoya, Japan is presented.
