Besides that, Typhoon Haiyan and Typhoon Hagupit are also the serious disaster accidents for emergency management in recnt years. In order to collect and analyze these accidents in more details, we need to design and adopt some new ideas and models. In this paper, we used Spark based Distributed mining system for online opinion data collecting and mining. We crawled related online social media data of Ebola from the most four favorite online social networks (including SINA, TENCENT) in China from June to November in 2014. By analyzing these attained social media data and airline data of GEM model, we found some interesting results. Furthermore, we collected the online social media data of Typhoon Haiyan and Hagupit before and after their landing. And we also showed analysis of combining social network data with geographical demonstration and Chinese citizen sentiment towards these disasters. As a result, we offered some suggestions to the government to handle opinion situation in these disasters.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134356656","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}

An interactive mapping system is developed to allow users to adjust class breaks so that the resultant maps are relatively reliable and more effective in spatial pattern detection.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"275 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133132786","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 validation of astrology has been done by a few scientists before, however, with the emergence of social network, we can get a data set that is much larger and easier than before to revalidate astrology. In this paper, we choose relationship between sun signs as single aspect to make the validation. First, by using friendship data gathered from Xiami music website, we applied the chi-square test to the data set, which surprising shows static significance between relationship and sun signs. Considering the friendship intensity in the social network such as Xiami is relatively low, we collected the sun sign information of users who are couple in Facebook, again we applied the chi-square test to the data set, interestingly, the result shows no static significance between relationship and sun signs. Our result suggest that under strong relationship there is no static significance between sun-sign and human relationship, however, under weak network there really is a certain level of static significance between sun-sign and human relationship. Interestingly, we find that people with same sun-sign shows more dependency.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131372371","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}

It needs a large number of environmental, social and economic development data to assess the risk when emergency happen. However, the conventional risk assessment is carried out mainly through the analysis of geographic data and non-geographic data released by officials. In this paper, we propose an emergency risk assessment framework using the open source data. Our proposed framework includes five sections: Automatic Data Discovery, Data Organization, Computing resource calling, Model selection and Visualization. The process of data discovery and organization can be done automatically. Distributed computing resources are used and users can select the spatial analysis models interactively for prediction and visualization. The infection disease example is implemented using the proposed framework and verifies the effectiveness and efficiency of our framework.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115347261","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 radiation exposure has brought lots of concerns about environments contamination, as well as economic and social consequences. Japan governmental agencies have started to continuously monitor and collect radiation levels by monitoring posts, probe cars and airborne surveys. These monitoring data contribute to estimate the external dose levels of radioactive materials and analyze human effects in the future. In this paper, we introduce the RALFIE (RAdiation Exposure LiFelog Indicator) system to help residents and experts to search for contaminated spots in daily activities and develop a reference guideline for reducing external exposures for individuals with their own data. First we design a model to integrate personal spatio-temporal positions with air dose rates on the real-time radiation monitoring data. Then we compare the relationship between ambient dose equivalent and individuals from D-shuttle sensors. Finally, we discuss how to create semantic trajectories with users' real-time annotation and geographic features with future directions.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"49 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120911810","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 event provides a unique opportunity to study power outages because of the data available and the large impact to a densely populated area. Satellite nightlight imagery of \"before\" and \"after\" the landfall of the hurricane is used to quantify the light dimming caused by power outages. Geolocated tweets filtered by keywords provide valuable information on human activity at a high temporal and spatial resolution during the event. Analysis of brightness change in the satellite data and the density of power related tweets points to a spatial relationship that identifies severely impacted areas with human presence. Classification of tweets through text analysis serves to further narrow the information search to find the most relevant and reliable content. Twitter data fused with satellite imagery identifies power outage information at a street-level resolution that is not achievable with satellite imagery alone.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125498541","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}

Thus, it is crucial to develop a system that can help people survive an earthquake and recover from its aftereffects. In this paper we present a vision of a smartphone app, called EAGA (earthquake alerter and guidance app), that will guide both victims and rescue workers, by leveraging probabilistic geosocial information collected before the event, during the earthquake and in its aftermath. The app has four modes of operation. In standby mode, EAGA collects data about users, their regularly visited locations and their social relations. In alert mode, EAGA warns of an impending earthquake, based on data collected from a variety of sensors and from government warning systems. It also provides initial guidance to the user during the onset of the quake. In disaster mode, EAGA assists users to cope with the tasks of the immediate aftermath, such as evacuation and rescue of victims buried underneath rubble of collapsed buildings. Finally, in recovery mode, EAGA facilitates family reunification, provides information about aid centers and sends warnings regarding the spread of diseases. We believe that EAGA can revolutionize disaster management, and complements current earthquake readiness efforts, by allowing a large degree of much needed decentralization and personalization in dealing with earthquakes.","PeriodicalId":323570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132054073","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}
