Author(s): Hideki Ishii, Kazuo MAEJIMA, Akichika ISHIBASHI
This paper presents the use of GIS for slope disaster prevention activity in a local government in Japan. Monitoring and prevention of steep slope failure is one of the critical issues for local governments. Many of them have started to develop disaster information systems using GIS to support slope management and disaster prevention activities. The paper focused on two examples of GIS use: identification of hazardous areas for slope failure and information management systems for those slopes. In some cases, 1:2,500-scale map data, including digital orthophotos, DEM, buildings, etc., was prepared, and GIS-based slope identification criteria were proposed.
