| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper develops a GIS-based integrated approach to the Multi-Hazard
model method, with reference to hurricanes. This approach has three
components: data integration, hazard assessment and score calculation to
estimate elements at risk such as affected area and affected population.
First, spatial data integration issues within a GIS environment, such as
geographical scales and data models, are addressed. Particularly, the
integration of physical parameters and population data is achieved linking
remotely sensed data with a high resolution population distribution in GIS.
In order to assess the number of affected people, involving heterogeneous
data sources, the selection of spatial analysis units is basic. Second,
specific multi-hazard tasks, such as hazard behaviour simulation and
elements at risk assessment, are composed in order to understand complex
hazard and provide support for decision making. Finally, the paper concludes
that the integrated approach herein presented can be used to assist
emergency management of hurricane consequences, in theory and in practice. |
