Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a Damage Certificate Issuing Support System for maximizing the efficiency of the services cities must provide to citizens in response to a disaster. The system development work we did to support Ojiya City in the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake was used as a case study to conduct this research. The objective was to build a GIS/database system to improve the efficiency of the city's services and to reduce the burden of the city workers, while providing satisfactory services to disaster victims. Additionally, the research aimed at building a centralized victims' database that can be used and developed throughout the city in the long run to support various relief activities.
