METHODS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION INVENTORY MANAGEMENT/LINKING MODULE AND INVENTORY PROTOTYPE IN SUPPORTIVE OF DISASTER RESPONSE DECISION-MAKING

摘要

A sudden and rapid rise in global abnormal climate frequently causes typhoons and floods, among other disasters. These natural disasters inflict national economic and social damage, and threaten the safety of SOC (Social Overhead Capital) facilities. In particular, among SOC facilities, damage, caused to riverside and waterside structures, not only triggers areas inside and outside of jetties, but also lead to the loss of evacuation paths, but also brings about the combined damage of human casualties and social and economic damage. In response to disasters, speedy decision making, including the provision of disaster evacuation paths, is required, and the decision-making must use the spacetime information combining the disaster and damage information, and SOC infrastructure information. Such information is currently sporadically gathered by the government and relevant agencies, making it difficult to integrate the management thereof. Thus, for the speedy disaster response, the integrated management of such information is needed, and the creation of safety and damage information on SOC infrastructures is needed. Also, given the nature of the disaster and damage information, its spacetime convergence is needed, so the development of the inventory management and linkage system, involving the integration of relevant information, for supporting disaster response decision-making, is needed. Thus, based on inventory management/linkage modules, this study seeks to develop an inventory prototype. Detailed design for the development the said modules was conducted. The functions of the modules consisted of five detailed modules; the data transmission/reception module designed for gathering the sporadically managed disaster/damage information, the filtering module designed for standardizing the gathered data and measuring the quality thereof, the data management module designed for verifying and optimizing the spatial information data, and the system management module designed for managing the data received from relevant agencies. The inventory prototype was developed based on this inventory management / linkage modules. To that end, first, basic theme maps were produced, and the information on facilities in TB (?) areas was constructed. Such constructed inventory system is certain to effectively provide source data for decision-making for proactive damage response, and is to be used in the management of SOC infrastructures.
