Outline of Final Research Achievements

Detailed disaster simulations for earthquake and tsunami require the detailed urban model, involving the 3D shapes and the seismic models for individual buildings. Since there are numerous buildings in a target city, it is necessary to automate the construction process of urban models for such building-resolved disaster simulations. However, most GIS data sources available to the urban models are designed to be understood with human eyes, lack the descriptions of relationships between GIS data elements, and thus we need to compensate the relationships for automatic constructions. In this study, we developed a method to construct the relationships of GIS data elements for urban disaster simulations.
