Design of a Hazard Map Considering Multiple Factors

Abstract

Many natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunami have occurred in Japan. Hazard maps that predict damaged areas are used as a way for taking measures against such disasters. In recent years, although hazard maps that treat crime or traffic accidents have been used, you can’t see all of these factors on the same map. In this study, we propose a new hazard map that considers three factors – disasters, crime and accidents. By visualizing multiple hazard factors on the same map, you could search for a residence place and choose a travel destination.
