摘要：Evacuation to disaster shelters can be optimized by giving instructions to evacuees to help them find the most suitable shelters and evacuation paths from their location. To generate such information in real-time, construction of spatial databases and complex spatial analysis models through Web Map Services (WMS) and Web Feature Services (WFS) based on Open Geospatial Consortium Web Services (OWS) is required. Focusing on the implementation of distributed OWS resources to provide more immediate information in the case of an emergency, we propose a Web-based system that identifies suitable shelters and provides the shortest evacuation path to each shelter for civilians who are within the danger zone. Specifically, (1) a search framework based on the OWS architecture is proposed and utilized to develop both Web-based and smartphone applications connected with WMS types of spatial data on the Web; (2) the spatial analysis models proposed include three sub-models, namely, data construction, shelter selection using scores by natural breaks, and an evacuation path model using network analysis. We identify candidate shelters by considering proximity to health care facilities and to major road, and coverage of each shelter in danger zone.
