摘要：This paper introduces the “Active Fault Map in Urban Areas”, a series of 1:25,000 scale maps showing detailed locations of active faults in urban areas published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI). The 1995 South Hyogo Prefecture Earthquake in the local district of Kobe prompted GSI to obtain more information about inland active faults and to develop Active Fault Maps. Since then, GSI has continued to publish these maps, with 147 maps published as of 2010. The maps describe active faults, active flexures, active folds, and terrain classifications at a scale of 1:25,000. Since 2006, scanned map images and GIS data were also published on the Japanese GSI website. GSI will encourage further improvement of the Active Fault Map in Urban Areas.
