| Zusammenfassung |
| As the amount of spatial data is growing, there is increased interest in
developing tools to explore, visualize and interpret them, with the final
aim of informing decision making efficiently. Within the European MIAVITA
project, we examined this issue in the case of volcanic areas, where
existing geospatial databases are particularly complex due to the number of
threats to be considered, including volcanic (e.g. lava flows, ash fall)
and non-volcanic hazards, such as landslides or tsunamis. We involved a
group of hazard and risk analysts and managers, civil security officers, GIS
analysts and system developers to design a Web-based geographical
information system (WebGIS). We tested the system at the Mount Cameroon
volcano, taking advantage of a complex hazard and risk geographical
database. This study enabled identifying key requirements for such tools in
volcanic areas, such as the need to manage user privileges differently
according to their profile and the status of the volcano. This work also
highlights that, in addition to the development of large geoinformation
clearinghouses, there is a need for site-specific information systems
focused on working procedures of users, in order to fill the last gap
between data producers and users. |
