Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11 2011. Tohoku region along the Pacific Ocean were severely damaged by the tsunami. Affected by the disaster area spread into a broad-based, became a national crisis. City of Soma, Fukushima had big efforts regarding to supporting victims’ recovery and various kind of disaster operations by using spatial information and GIS. The great efforts ware results of efforts from the usual. It means that we cannot implement in disaster situation if we are not implementing daily operation.
This paper describes lessons learned from two efforts and suggests generic strategy for building information system based on GIS seamlessly between daily operations and disaster operations, and introduces new challenges of city of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka using cloud computing and spatial information.
