Abstract
Accurate map work is critically important to determine distances of hibakusha(atomic bomb survivors) from the hypocenter, which is needed to evaluate radiation doses. However, the distances of hibakusha from the hypocenter were accurate for a 100-m mesh unit up to now because of the restrictions of map and space analysis technology. This study aims to undertake a more accurate evaluation by using a geographic information system(GIS).
