[S04-P-04] The Japan GIS Database of the Historical Disaster using research data of Archeological excavation, Geological survey and Historical documents

Taisuke Murata, Nobuhiko Koike (Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Nara, Japan)

Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties has started this project since 2014, supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan, under its Earthquake and Volcano Hazards Observation and Research Program. The purpose of this project are to 1) collect all historical evidence of natural disaster in Japan based on research data of archaeological excavation, geological survey, and historical documents, 2) build a GIS database that can make easily to study, simulate, and develop several disaster mitigation systems, programs, and methods, and 3) open to the public for area studies of hazards. In this session, I would like to present a new result of this GIS model.
