Abstract
The Utilization of GIS for the Measure against Slope Failure Disaster
Track: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Akiyuki Kawasaki
Two methods and a system for the measure against slope failure disaster are proposed in this paper. 1. Method of specifying the cliff and potential area, suffered from slope failure, by DEM and Landuse data. 2 Method of specifying the potential slope failure area by rainfall data, and a system of conveying this information to local residents. These methods can be applied to many places where these data is available. Moreover, dangerous cliffs and the areas are specified at the same time
even in wide city area. Minami ward, Yokohama, JAPAN was selected as a study area.
