The Design and Realization of Wenchuan Earthquake Relief Geographical Information System
The field of disaster management has greatly benefited from recent advancements in computer, 3S and related technology. In particular, Geographical Information System (GIS) are currently being used in variety of ways during all phases of disaster management. As the basic support framework and information sharing platform, GIS provides not only the tools to acquire, integrate, analyze, store and display spatial data, but also the platform to integrate other thematic information. In this paper, we design and realize the Wenchuan earthquake relief GIS to satisfy the requirements of response, assessment and rebuilt.
