Research on Earthquake Disaster Background Data in Spatial Information Diffusion Model

Spatial Modeling for Reducing Earthquake Disaster Damages in Iran

Earthquake is one of disaster that when happened causes many problems in economic and society in Iran, so earthquake disaster management is necessary for decreasing these problem effects. Because of most related data with earthquake and its effects have spatial properties, so GIS can be used as effective tool for managing and decision making in disaster. In some countries such as Iran, disaster...

Earthquake Disaster Gis and Spatial-temporal Pattern of Earthquake Disasters in China1

This paper summarizes the development of a Geographic Information System for managing and analyzing information on the effects of earthquakes in historical times of China. The extensive bibliography documenting the seismicity from B.C.3000 showed the need to proceed towards a type of data storage that would also allow management of the same data. Application of GIS techniques allowed us to inse...

Using Service-Based Geographical Information System to Support Earthquake Research and Disaster Response

As earthquake research has expanded beyond the geophysics community to include the requirements of rapid emergency response and disaster management, the computational infrastructure that supports this research must also expand to deliver both data and analysis tools to a wide variety of users. In this article, we investigate service-based Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies that ...

Disaster Mitigation Engineering -the Kobe Earthquake Disaster

The concept of plate tectonics is generally accepted in earth science and seismology. The surface of the earth is divided into rigid tectonic plates that move on the earth surface at extremely slow speed. The islands of Japan sit on the North American and Eurasian plates. The Pacific plate moves westward and the Philippines plate moves to northwest direction; both plates sink under the islands ...
