This problem is especially serious in rural regions which population density is low. We propose a new method to project the population of less densely populated region using 0.5-km squared grid system data. And, we evaluate the result of applying this method to Yamagata Prefecture. There are three key concepts in this research. First is the spatial moving average cohort change rate which enables us to get suitable cohort change rate. Second is the integrated grid system data that is derived from the analysis of seeking appropriate size of grid system data. And the third is error estimation of population projection which enables us to have interval projection with stochastic basis.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117111972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Day nursery, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and hospital are taken up as urban facilities in this paper. We find out that the change in the density of each urban facility is partially explained by that in population density by using kernel density functions with appropriate radius.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133709587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The information sharing GIS uses a design which ameliorates the following three constraints such as time constraints, spatial constraints and continuous operation related constraints, making it possible to design systems in accordance with target cases. After operating the information sharing GIS to accumulate regional knowledge about security information for about one month in the local communities of Chofu City and Mitaka City in Tokyo, the system was evaluated based on the results of a questionnaire survey to users in order to identify improvements.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125667925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that people living in rural areas and working in the agriculture and forestry industries are less prone to contracting pollinosis, and people with a higher household income have a higher risk of contracting the disease compared to those with a lower household income. These findings are consistent with the hygiene hypothesis that sanitary environments impair normal development of immunity and increase the risk of contracting allergic diseases. This study also exemplifies the usefulness of geodemographics as a concise indicator of the local environment for explanatory analysis of environmental health risks of pollinosis.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127078253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined how crime control effects of social capital vary, depending on changing of geographical range of the “neighborhood” used in the analyses, from 60 to 500 meters in 10 meter increments. We summarize the results as follows: (1) for trust, norms of reciprocity and the principal component score of the social capital index, the larger geographical ranges of “neighborhood” used in analyses are, the stronger their crime control effects are; (2) social participation doesn’t have significant crime control effects; (3) trust shows strong crime control effects even in narrow geographical ranges. These findings suggest that there may be multiple crime control mechanisms through social capital in a certain geographical range of the neighborhood.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116728245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is based on empirical two rainfall patterns associated with shallow landslide initiation: short-duration, high-intensity (SH) and long-duration, low-intensity (LL) types. The system classifies present rainfall into SH and LL types using Radar/Rain-gauge-Analyzed Precipitation and Soil Water Index provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency. We verified the system by monitoring the major rainfall-induced shallow landslide disasters of July 2010 in the southern part of Kyushu, Yaotsu town in Gifu pref., and Shobara city in Hiroshima pref. Results showed that we succeeded in monitoring and predicting SH and LL types as the conditions likely to initiate shallow landslide in the place. Verification also underscored the need for some ad-ditional development. The system will be useful for real-time shallow landslide warnings, which should be modified and verified using more case studies.","PeriodicalId":177070,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of GIS","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115133793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
