Abstract
In this study, amount of soil movement of Anthropogenic Disturbance (AD) at Kinki region was estimated by using Geographic Information System(GIS) and Digital Elevation Model(DEM). After the pre and post surface model was created, height decrease area and earth surface imagery contribute to estimate amount of soil movement at soil extraction site as indicators of AD. Consequently, on the one hand, the amount of soil movement by statistical data achieved 517 million m3. On the other hand, the amount of soil movement by DEM achieved 900 million m3. The result shows that about 3.83 million m3 of soil movement, such as Hidden Material Flow was not covered by statistics data.
