On Shikoku Island, which is one of the four main islands of Japan, a large number of large-scale crystalline schist landslides have been revealed and are being monitored by an observation system. Seasonal heavy rainfall is the most active meteorological factor that can threaten the stability of this kind of site-specific landslide. In this paper, on the basis of the study of the rainfall-related behavior of a typical crystalline schist landslide, the Zentoku landslide, by analyzing the precisely and continuously observed piezometric and movement data, a method was developed to quantitatively assess the effect of heavy rainfall on a large-scale landslide. The results indicated that heavy rainfall-induced landslide displacement shows good correlation with the variation of groundwater levels. Variations of groundwater level have been simulated with the use of a tank model. The simulation using this model permits the change in water levels for future rainfall events to be predicted. By combining the predicted results with the empirical relation between displacements and water levels, rainfall-induced landslide movement during extreme rainfall events can be estimated in advance. The effect of heavy rainfall on sliding behavior can be quantified in terms of the change in displacement. Thus warning information or advisories for the local residents can be provided. 相似文献

Mean total length of the eldest cohort (MTLe) of the thalassinidean decapod, Upogebia yokoyai sampled at 16 sites showed a latitudinal variation from south-west islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago (24° N) to the Seto-Inland Sea of Japan (34° N). Local variations were however also found from sites in the same latitudes. The level of the organic content in each habitat showed a positive correlation with MTLe. We hypothesized that MTLe is strongly affected by the trophic condition, resulting in the local variations. To test this hypothesis, two estuaries with different organic content were compared; Kodono River (Kochi Prefecture, 33° N) which was relatively oligotrophic and Sakata River (Hiroshima Prefecture, 34° N) which was highly eutrophicated. The Kodono River population showed slow growth after settlement, and growth stopped in May to June. This population survived for only one or two years, resulting in small MTLe. On the other hand, the Sakata River population showed fast growth from August to December. This population survived for three years, resulting in large MTLe. Maturation was estimated to occur two years after settlement in both populations. Low salinities may partially affect MTLe. Habitats in the Seto-Inland Sea (33.5–34.8° N) were eutrophicated, but many habitats in the subtropical islands (24–31° N) were relatively oligotrophic. Latitudinal variation of MTLe was reflected by the geographical difference in trophic condition. A negative relationship between population density and growth was found, which was explained in terms of reduced survival of recruits in the eutrophicated habitats. 相似文献

This study proposes network‐based spatial interpolation methods to help predict unknown spatial values along networks more accurately. It expands on two of the commonly used spatial interpolation methods, IDW (inverse distance weighting) and OK (ordinary kriging), and applies them to analyze spatial data observed on a network. The study first provides the methodological framework, and it then examines the validity of the proposed methods by cross‐validating elevations from two contrasting patterns of street network and comparing the MSEs (Mean Squared Errors) of the predicted values measured with the two proposed network‐based methods and their conventional counterparts. The study suggests that both network‐based IDW and network‐based OK are generally more accurate than their existing counterparts, with network‐based OK constantly outperforming the other methods. The network‐based methods also turn out to be more sensitive to the edge effect, and their performance improves after edge correction. Furthermore, the MSEs of standard OK and network‐based OK improve as more sample locations are used, whereas those of standard IDW and network‐based IDW remain stable regardless of the number of sample locations. The two network‐based methods use a similar set of sample locations, and their performance is inherently affected by the difference in their weight distribution among sample locations. 相似文献

This paper reports on recent developments in the visualisation of urban landscapes. There is a growing interest in the contstruction
of 3D models of urban and built environment for which a host of digital mapping and rendering techniques are being developed.
This paper extracts some of the cases that we came across during worldwide interviews carried out in March 2000. Building
on this review, we identify the range of data and techniques adopted for the development of 3D contents and how they could
contribute to geographical analysis and planning of urban environment. A particular focus is given on the effectiveness of
GIS and its related methods for their capacity to accommodate the demands for visual representation of urban environment as
well as the basis for analysis and simulation.

The influence of intense rainfall on the activity of large-scale crystalline schist landslides in Shikoku Island, Japan 总被引：4，自引：3，他引：4

Many large landslides in the crystalline schist region of Shikoku Island, Japan, are susceptible to intense rainfall. Through the use of on-site monitoring systems, the activity of landslides and their meteorological triggers can be assessed. Continuous high-intensity rainfall was found to play a key role in provoking landslide movement. This paper investigates the influence of intense rainfall on the activity of crystalline schist landslides by examining rainfall and displacement of four typical landslides. By defining and calculating the effective rainfall and the relative landslide displacement, the relationship between intense rainfall and rainfall-induced landslide movement was analysed. Results indicate that the intense rainfall-induced landslide movement can be correlated with the effective rainfall. From these results, two rainfall thresholds were identified for the landslide risk management of Shikoku Island. 相似文献

This study develops new types of hotspot detection methods to describe the micro‐space variation of the locations of crime incidents at the street level. It expands on two of the most widely used hotspot detection methods, Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Crime and Spatial Scan Statistic, and applies them to the analysis of the network space. The study first describes the conceptual and the methodological framework of the new methods followed by analyses using: (1) a simulated distribution of points along the street network; and (2) real street‐crime incident data. The simulation study using simulated point distributions confirms that the proposed methods is more accurate, stable and sensitive in detecting street‐level hotspots than their conventional counterparts are. The empirical analysis with real crime data focuses on the distribution of the drug markets and robberies in downtown Buffalo, NY in 1995 and 1996. The drug markets are found to form hotspots that are dense, compact and stable whereas hotspots of the robberies are observed more thinly across a wider area. The study also reveals that the location of the highest risk remains on the same spot over time for both types of crimes, indicating the presence of hotbeds which requires further attention. 相似文献

Dr. John Snow's cholera map is known as one of the pioneering examples of an epidemiology map, illustrating the spatial distribution of the victims from the cholera outbreak. This article revisits his map and expands on his attempt at visualizing the distribution of the victims by focusing on spatial demarcation using the sphere of influence along the street network by applying two analytical methods that are designed for analysis of network space. First, the article generates a network-based Voronoi diagram of the water pumps in the map that encompasses Snow's original version of the equidistance line that was drawn around a single pump. The article then presents a new, revised equidistance line that better reflects the circumstances around the time of the outbreak. This is followed by the construction of another set of boundaries derived by the application of a network-based clumping method. Comparing the demarcation lines produced with the two methods shows a sphere of influence which was unclear when using the network Voronoi diagram alone. Results from the analysis using the clumping method also confirm some of Snow's observations on the spatial distribution of the victims. 相似文献

This paper shows an explanatory tool (a FORTRAN program linked to GIS software), called VCM (Variable Clumping Method), for
detecting statistically significant `multi-level clumps' in the distribution of points. The multi-level clumps imply a set
of clumps whose clumping radius varies from a small radius to a large radius (in spirits, VCM is similar to the K-function method). Compared with the ordinary (fixed radius) clumping method, VCM can detect overall significant clumps in
the distribution of points.
