SUMMARY Purpose: study optimization location-allocation of emergency shelter for Earthquake after destructive earthquake disaster, so as to prevent or reduce the damage caused by the earthquake and its secondary disasters, to guide the resettlement and reconstruction of post-disaster. Methods: basis on GIS, by applying the location-allocation optimization of P-center model of geographical space...

The 27 February 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake ruptured over 500 km along a mature seismic gap between 341 S and 381 S—the Concepción–Constitución gap, where no large megathrust earthquakes had occurred since the 1835Mw 8.5 event. Notable discrepancies exist in slip distribution and moment magnitude estimated by various models inverted using traditional observations such as teleseismic ne...

This research presents a theory which is very likely related to local wisdom during the post-disaster emergency period. The concept of control of space of post-earthquake market is the realization of the community’s vigilance arising due to the earthquake and was influenced by the culture of the society who has been there and continues to grow to the present. Deep exploration will reveal the ra...

Conservation policies are increasing in response to human-induced ecosystem degradation, but little is known about their interplay with natural disasters. Through an analysis of satellite imagery and field data we evaluated the impacts of a devastating earthquake on forest recovery and avoided forest loss estimated to have been obtained by two of the largest conservation programs in the world. ...

Social capital is widely regarded as a key element in recovery from and resilience to disasters. Yet, little attention has been paid the specificities of what supports or undermines remote rural communities' social Here, we examine how bonding, bridging, linking operated after 2015 earthquake three Nepali communities Sindhupalchok Gorkha Districts, which have varying degrees access infrastructu...

The Internet is one of the important infrastructures in our daily life, and its highly distributed and autonomous natures have been said to be robust against failures. This paper reports an impact of an unexpectedly large earthquake (M9.0) hit to the northern part of Japan at 14:46:18 on 11th March (UTC+9), 2011(the East Japan Earthquake) [2] on a nationwide research and education network (SINE...

A strong earthquake in the western Caribbean in 2009 had a catastrophic impact on uncemented, unconsolidated coral reefs in the central sector of the shelf lagoon of the Belizean barrier reef. In a set of 21 reef sites that had been observed prior to the earthquake, the benthic assemblages of 10 were eradicated, and one was partially damaged, by avalanching of their slopes. Ecological dynamics ...

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has monitored global gravity changes since 2002. Gravity changes are considered to represent hydrological water mass movements around the surface of the globe, although fault slip of a large earthquake also causes perturbation of gravity. Since surface water movements are expected to affect earthquake occurrences via elastic surface load or po...
