Building Database as Background of Wildland Fire with Spatio-Temporal GIS
Abstract
The purpose of this study is grasping the latest vegetation and land cover from the data sensed by ALOS, and making new database of background for simulation or forecast of wildland fire. Using this database, detailed land cover and land cover will become clear, and then this is very important on simulation or forecast of wildland fire. Major roads data, stream line data and ground features data are updated with the latest information analyzed with ALOS imagery. In addition, it is enabled scheduled updating easily with accumulation and constructing temporal-spatial GIS by using ALOS data. It will be applied to researches of wildland fire in the study area. From this approach, it is clarified the present land cover and the actual situation of forest/peat fire in this area. We will be able to apply these results to simulation of wildland fire behavior.
