    We demonstrate development of a forest biomass map by an efficient methodology using airborne LiDAR data, and validate its accuracy. The study area is Yokohama City, Japan, an area of 437.4 km2. An allometric equation was developed from field measurement data to convert canopy height measured by airborne LiDAR to biomass, and then a map of aboveground biomass (AGB) at 5 m resolution was produced. After validation, the estimation of AGB had a root mean square error of 60.6 Mg ha-1 and an average relative error of 38.7%. The total forest AGB in Yokohama was estimated as 913,450 Mg. The results suggest that airborne LiDAR is suitable for developing a reliable forest biomass map, even for scattered forests in urban area.

    We analyze and evaluate a correlation of total coliform and entropy of laser profiler data on a monthly basis in the downstream of Oita, Ono and Ototsu River. In addition, we analyze and evaluate the optimal range to use laser profiler data from the total coliform's observation points. As a result of the analysis, we found that the correlation of total coliform of May and entropy of laser profiler data is high, and the correlation is high in the case of using laser profiler data of about 300m radius.

    Recently, monitoring dynamic changes in people flow has become necessary, in order to mitigate secondary disasters following earthquakes, fires or other major events such as the East Great Japan Earthquake. In technical terms, tracking mobile objects by GPS, PHS, CCTV camera, IC (integrated circuit) tickets or mobile phone base station enables us to measure people flow according to various dimensions. This article describes type of spatio-temporal data about people flow and its basic process and analysis for secure and effective use.

    Emergence of large-scale data such as GPS logs and mobile phone Call Detail Records (CDR) has significantly advanced understanding on mass population movement. Besides studies on human mobility patterns and data mining techniques, applications of such data to address issues in society are being developed rapidly. This article introduces challenges in the application through cases from data challenge contests and efforts in improving public services such as transportation, public health, and disaster management.
