Ecosystems and People, 31 Dec. 2022, [Reviewed] - Early Estimation of Heavy Rain Damage at the Municipal Level Based on Time-Series Analysis of SNS Information
Cui Qinglin; Shoyama Kikuko; Hanashima Makoto; Usuda Yuichiro, To carry out natural disaster response, restoration, and reconstruction, it is important to efficiently and quickly assess the damage caused by the natural disaster. The existing evidence demonstrates that when a natural disaster occurs, social networking services (SNS) information is amplified significantly, compared to normal times. Specifically, the damage caused by a natural disaster tends to cover a wide area and have a large scale. Additionally, it may vary considerably depending on the municipality. Thus, this study investigates whether the utilization of this amplified SNS information can offer an effective approach for real-time evaluation and monitoring of the damage caused by a natural disaster in municipal units. To this end, focusing on time-series changes in SNS information, we propose a general-purpose analysis method of SNS information for evaluating the damage caused by a natural disaster in real time in municipal units. Using real-world data twitter data, we investigate the case of Kumamoto Prefecture, which experienced heavy rain in July 2020 and July 2021, to verify the proposed analysis method., Fuji Technology Press Ltd.

Science of The Total Environment, May 2021, [Reviewed] - Assessment of Land-Use Scenarios at a National Scale Using Intensity Analysis and Figure of Merit Components
Kikuko Shoyama, Lead, To address the impacts of future land changes on biodiversity and ecosystem services, land-use scenarios have been developed at the national scale in Japan. However, the validation of land-use scenarios remains a challenge owing to the lack of an appropriate validation method. This research developed land-use maps for 10 land-use categories to calibrate a land-change model for the 1987–1998 period, simulate changes during the 1998–2014 period, and validate the simulation for the 1998–2014 period. Following an established method, this study assessed the three types of land change: (1) reference change during the calibration time interval, (2) simulation change during the validation time interval, and (3) reference change during the validation time interval, using intensity analysis and figure of merit components (hits, misses, and false alarms). The results revealed the cause of the low accuracy of the national scale land-use scenarios as well as priority solutions, such as aligning the underlying spatial vegetation maps and improving the model to reduce two types of disagreement between the simulation and reference maps. These findings should help to improve the accuracy of model predictions and help to better inform policymakers during the decision-making process., MDPI AG

Shoyama Kikuko; Yamagata Yoshiki, Lead, 生態系サービスを評価する方法には生態系から供給される量と人間社会がサービスとして認識する量を評価する二つのアプローチがある。環境財の経済評価は環境経済学の分野で開発されてきたが、土地被覆を始めとする生物物理指標に基づいて空間的に経済評価まで行う手法が注目されるようになってきた。特に将来の土地利用オプションに基づき生態系サービスの変化予測を示すことは、サービス間トレードオフを考慮した意思決定を可能にする。本稿では北海道釧路川流域を評価対象として、生物物理指標による供給量の評価は経済評価とどのように関連するのか、土地利用シナリオに基づく分析事例や表明選好法における生態系情報の扱いについて既往研究のレビューとともに議論する。さらに生態系の価値は地域社会のなかでどのような要因と関連付いて分布するのか、地域住民の価値認識を空間的に評価した事例を紹介する。, The Ecological Society of Japan
