(2) Tsunami inundated area: maps of the area hit by the tsunami of 11 March 2011, northeast Japan ( Tsunami Damage Mapping Team of the Association of Japanese Geographers) Permission to use the data was granted by the team. The author supplemented them with data based on satellite images of the disaster areas.
TOOLS
Municipality Map Makers
KIRIMURA Takashi (Postdoctoral Fellow, Ritsumeikan University)
(in Japanese)
Web application to produce shapefiles of municipality of a given date (since 1970 onwards). Japanese municipalities are continously reorginizing but especially during the mid 2000s, that means regional statistical data has to be retabulated accordingly. This application provides municipal boundary maps of various dates, as well as creating lookup table for municipal codes (JIS code) for two different dates.
