| Popis: | 98 There are a lot of damages caused by wind hazards in Taiwan every year.Historical records provide valuable information for disaster prevention and exhortation. However, the large amount of text and pictures are just data that is difficult to use if it is not well organized. This study aims to establish a platform for information integration that can systematically record wind damage pictures and descriptions. To achieve an integrated information platform with unified exchange content, three different formats, XML, MySQL and EXIF, were used as information sources. Through the implementation of a Wind-Induced Damage Repository system, the merits and applicability of the three formats were further compared. In order to facilitate users’ operational utility,the system uses a web server (Apache) through the PHP language to build an interactive web user interface. Users can operate the Wind-Induced Damage Repository system through their familiar browsers. They don’t need to learn and adapt to another interface. Traditional databases lack of visual interfaces, which make their use less vivid. Another focus of this study was to incorporate digital map services (Google Maps) to present the geographic information of wind damage. The wind damage investigation information system developed provides a Google Maps interface for information uploading, access and query. Comparing to a typical system, it enhances the users’ understanding of the locations of the damages and the spacial concepts of relevant events, which makes the condition of disasters easier to follow and evaluate. |
