There are many natural hazards such as floods, landslides,
volcanoes and earthquakes in the Asia-Pacific Region. Nevertheless,
there are few studies of such natural hazards in this region and
knowledge about their mitigation is of the utmost importance. This
book documents the use of geomorphological maps showing the state
of flooding; these maps allow predictions to be made. The author
has compiled geomorphological maps and documentation of their
validation, and the maps allow not only estimation of flooding, but
also prediction of soil liquefaction caused by earthquakes.
Audience: The results of the discussions in this book apply not
only to geographers, consultants, engineers and policy makers in
Japan and Southeast Asian countries, but also to those from Europe,
North America, and Africa.
