As a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, municipalities have to deal with a large amount of paper documents such as damage reports. It costs considerable efforts to input information written on the paper documents into computers to process the data in them within a limited time. In many cases, addresses are used as the location information, and electronic maps like GIS can make the data-processing operation more efficient. This paper proposes the new method that automatically retrieves investigation results and location data by QR codes that are related to the sets of investigation reports and affected area maps.
