| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 土木與防災技術研究所 === 90 === There had been frequent landslide-related disasters in the last few years, and community residents began to be very concerned about the reoccurrence of similar disasters. In order to prevent disasters, a complete system should include disaster mitigation, disaster preparedness, in-disaster response, and post-disaster recovery. This study proposed to use the Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to conduct "Hillside Communities Safety Inspection" before the disasters strike. The results could be used for follow-up monitoring and repairing to present the disasters from happening or to reduce the damage of such disasters.
The PDA could be used as a tool for field investigation because of its portability and convenience. This study adapted the safety inspection sheets designed by the Architecture and Building Research Institute, and a complete package of PDA application was developed. As a result, the inspection personnel could use the application for field assessment. In addition, this study also implemented a back-end database to store the data collected by PDAs. The inspection personnel could transfer the data from the PDAs to a desktop computer conveniently and use the query function of the database to display the inspection results. Then, the inspected sites could be classified according to their levels of potential danger. Finally, this study inspected the 24 potentially dangerous communities in the Taipei City as an illustration. Using the PDA, as well as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and a digital camera, the relevant field data were collected. The results were displayed by a GIS software to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PDA Hillside Community Safety Inspection system.
