International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023 Floods in coastal areas are caused by a range of complex factors such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, and this issue has become increasingly serious as interference has occurred in the social-ecological system in recent years. Given the structural limitations and high maintenance costs of the existing gray infrastructure, the need for a nature-based ...

DATA CONVERSION FROM GIS TO URBAN AREA MODEL FOR NATURAL DISASTER SIMULATION
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshuu A, 2008 自然災害・被害の予測の高度化を念頭に，本論文は，各種自然災害・被害のシミュレーションに供される都市モデルを構築するために，GISデータを変換する手法を提案する．データ変換の汎用性と堅牢性を高めるため，中間層データを使う方法論を考案し，実際に構造物と都市空間の中間層データを設計した．この中間層データを介して，地震被害と洪水・火山噴火災害のシミュレーションに供される都市モデルがGISデータから自動的に構築されるコードを開発した．開発されたコードを使って市販のGISデータを変換して都市モデルが構築されること，そのデータ変換が堅牢であることを確認するとともに，自動構築された都市モデルを使ったシミュレーションが実行可能であることを示した．
