Abstract: One of the serious fears for Japanese society is contamination of radioactive substances due to the huge earthquake and subsequent Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant disaster.This paper proposes a detection method to identify contamination sources of radioactive substances in the air based on open data, which are composed of air dose rate, amount of rain, wind speed, and direction. To select an appropriate area for analyzing contamination sources with this method, a field investigation is conducted in the west part of Japan, which is in a region approximately one thousand km from the east power plant. Based on the possible contamination origin found in the investigation, open data are analyzed by the method in terms of relationship between air dose rate and weather conditions. Air dose rate is observed on each public monitoring point. The nearest weather observation station for each public monitoring point concerning air dose rate is also identified to analyze the relationship between

Abstract: Since the most economic-agricultural activities in areas adjacent to the river is in flood plains, including a discussion on the management of these areas is the considerable, zoning map has an important effect on flood management, The right of the river bed, and the economic feasibility of development projects, forecast, warning and rescue operations and flood insurance could be included. Using computer models and using geographic information systems incorporating GIS as well as hydraulic and hydrologic models are the common methods of floodplain zoning maps. There are a variety of different performance capabilities and access to the data required by this model, so that we have to choose the best software related to that model. In this article, we try to introduce a few well-known models for floodplain zoning maps; some of the capabilities and applications are considered by some approaches. At the end, we express the factors that are affecting the accuracy of results.
