A Study on the Cooperative Utilization of Disaster Databases and Statistical Databases Using GIS

Abstract

Historical damage cases and data on damage statistics recorded in the disaster year do not take into account the status of storm and flood management and the ability to plan for the recovery of affected areas in establishing natural disaster prevention measures and restoration plans for the given areas; thus, this information is not used as basic data for practical responses to damages from storms and floods. In this regard, this study proposes a method for developing disaster integration information using GIS-based national statistical data and disaster data as a method of natural disaster management considering local statuses. It further suggests disaster management plans based on analyzing damage density and damage targets. It is expected that GIS-based disaster integration information constructed through the results of this study can be used to classify vulnerable areas and establish disaster prevention and recovery plans for vulnerable areas.
