| Research Abstract |
The ryukyu islands are located in the oceanic subtropical climate with the continuous threatening of typhoons. Tropical Typhoons frequently pass near the Okinawa islands and influence various branches of the society. To prevent and alleviate disaster on the typhoon, it is necessary to grasp of characteristics of tropical typhoons and take preventive measures. Also it is of necessity to promote enforcement of the vulnerability of the disaster-prone areas. A typhoon disaster data base system in Okinawa has been constructed in this study. The typhoon disaster data base system is composed of a database of the weather extreme-values due to typhoons, the typhoon routes, the typhoon disasters and the restoration works and a sub-system to perform the management. The management system is composed of the programs to execute input, rectification, deletion, search and output of the data. On the other hand, the characteristics of the thphoon disasters have been investigated using the typhoon disaster data base system.
