Abstract. Comprehensive and sustainable landslide management, including identification of landslide susceptible areas, requires a lot of organisations and people to collaborate efficiently. Often, landslide management efforts are made after major triggering events only, such as hazard mitigations that applied after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. Next, to a lack of efficiency and continuity, there is also a lack of sharing of information and cooperation among stakeholders to cope with significant disaster events. There should be a system to allow easy update of landslide information after an event. For a variety of users of landslide information in Nepal, the availability and extraction of landslide data from the database are a vital requirement. In this study, we investigate the requirements to and propose a concept for a web-based Nepalese landslide information system (NELIS) that provides users with a platform to share the location of landslide events for the further collaborations. The system will be defined as a web-based geographic information system (GIS) that supports responsible organisations to address and manage different user requirements of people working with landslides, thereby improving the current state of landslide management in Nepal. The overall aim of this research is to propose a conceptual design of NELIS and to show the current status of the cooperation between involved stakeholders. A system like NELIS could benefit stakeholders involved in data collection and landslide management in their efforts to report and provide landslide information. Moreover, such a system would allow for detailed and structured landslide documentation and consequently provide valuable information for susceptibility, hazard, and risk mapping. For the reporting of landslides directly to the system, a web portal is proposed. Stakeholders who can contribute to the reporting of landslides are mostly local communities and schools. Based on field investigations, literature reviews and user interviews, the practical structure of the landslide database and a conceptual design for the NELIS platform is proposed.

Abstract. Comprehensive and sustainable landslide risk management, including the identification of areas susceptible to landslides, requires responsible organisations to collaborate efficiently. Landslide risk management efforts are often made after major triggering events, such as hazard mitigation after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal. There is also a lack of knowledge sharing and collaboration among stakeholders to cope with major disaster events, in addition to a lack of efficiency and continuity. There should be a system to allow for landslide information to be easily updated after an event. For a variety of users of landslide information in Nepal, the availability and extraction of landslide data from a common database are a vital requirement. In this study, we investigate the requirements to propose a concept for a web-based Nepalese landslide information system (NELIS) that provides users with a platform to share information about landslide events to strengthen collaboration. The system will be defined as a web GIS (geographic information system) that supports responsible organisations in addressing and managing different user requirements of people working with landslides, thereby improving the current state of landslide hazard and risk management in Nepal. The overall aim of this study is to propose a conceptual framework and design of NELIS. A system like NELIS could benefit stakeholders involved in data collection and landslide risk management in their efforts to report and provide landslide information. Moreover, such a system would allow for detailed and structured landslide documentation and consequently provide valuable information regarding susceptibility and hazard and risk mapping. For the reporting of landslides directly to the system, a web portal is proposed. Based on field surveys, a literature review and stakeholder interviews, a structure of the landslide database and a conceptual framework for the NELIS platform are proposed.

The purpose of the article is to analyze support of the independent processes, using any tool of information technology (IT) outside of the information system (IS) in the enterprise environment. The useful tool of IT could be the software (SW) ATOM, an ontology-driven web based application. Changes in IS are very expensive, complicated and risky, but it should be suggested solution omitted. The extensive literature review of the current state of the topic is added. The chosen process is innovation; the life cycle of innovation is explained: suggestion of innovation, demand for the solution of innovation, the final solution of innovation, and project for implementation of innovation. The methodology of an ontology preparation for the SW application includes design scheme of classes and associations between classes, preparation table of assignment characteristics to classes, and implementation of an ontology design in SW ATOM. The real possibility to support independent processes outside of IS using an ontology-driven application was experimentally verified and confirmed, and the result of research work could be used for any process outside of IS. Limits of the proposed solution consist of only experimental laboratory verification. For the practical use, it should be necessary first to prepare a prototype for the corporation IS in an enterprise environment.

Abstract. As evidenced by the EU Floods Directive (2007/60/EC), flood management strategies in Europe have undergone a shift in focus in recent years. The goal of flood prevention using structural measures has been replaced by an emphasis on the management of flood risks using non-structural measures. One implication of this is that it is no longer public authorities alone who take responsibility for flood management. A broader range of stakeholders, who may experience the negative effects of flooding, also take on responsibility to protect themselves. Therefore, it is vital that information concerning flood risks are conveyed to those who may be affected in order to facilitate the self-protection of citizens. Experience shows that even where efforts have been made to communicate flood risks, problems persist. There is a need for the development of new tools, which are able to rapidly disseminate flood risk information to the general public. To be useful, these tools must be able to present information relevant to the location of the user. Moreover, the content and design of the tool need to be adjusted to laypeople's needs. Dissemination and communication influences both people's access to and understanding of natural risk information. Such a tool could be a useful aid to effective management of flood risks. To address this gap, a Web-based Geographical Information System, (WebGIS), has been developed through the collaborative efforts of a group of scientists, hazard and risk analysts and managers, GIS analysts, system developers and communication designers. This tool, called "READY: Risk, Extreme Events, Adaptation, Defend Yourself", aims to enhance the general public knowledge of flood risk, making them more capable of responding appropriately during a flood event. The READY WebGIS has allowed for the visualization and easy querying of a complex hazard and risk database thanks to a high degree of interactivity and its easily readable maps. In this way, READY has enabled fast exploration of alternative flood scenarios or past calamitous events. Combined also with a system of graphic symbols designed ad hoc for communication of self-protection behaviors, it is believed READY could lead to an increase in citizen participation, informed discussion and consensus building. The platform has been developed for a site-specific application, i.e. the Basilicata Region, Italy, has been selected as pilot application area. The goal of the prototype is to raise citizen awareness of flood risks, and to build social capacity and enhanced resilience to flood events.

Abstract. Snow avalanche data in the French Alps and Pyrenees have been recorded for more than 100 years in several databases. The increasing amount of observed data required a more integrative and automated service. Here we report the comprehensive web-based Snow Avalanche Information System newly developed to this end for three important datasets: an avalanche chronicle (Enquête Permanente sur les Avalanches, EPA), an avalanche map (Carte de Localisation des Phénomènes d'Avalanche, CLPA) and a compilation of hazard and vulnerability data recorded on selected paths endangering human settlements (Sites Habités Sensibles aux Avalanches, SSA). These datasets are now integrated into a common database, enabling full interoperability between all different types of snow avalanche records: digitized geographic data, avalanche descriptive parameters, eyewitness reports, photographs, hazard and risk levels, etc. The new information system is implemented through modular components using Java-based web technologies with Spring and Hibernate frameworks. It automates the manual data entry and improves the process of information collection and sharing, enhancing user experience, data quality, and offering new outlooks to explore and exploit the huge amount of snow avalanche data available for fundamental research and more applied risk assessment.

Monitoring Information

The Child-Friendly City web-based reporting and monitoring information system was implemented at the end of 2018 in Depok City. Through the web address, http://kla.depok.id Child-Friendly City cadres could report activities of child-friendly city forums based on five clusters and 29 indicators. The public could find information on Depok City as well as a child-friendly city. After three years of implementation, evaluation was necessary to ensure that the information system operates according to the initial design. This study aimed to evaluate the success of the monitoring and reporting information system for the Child-Friendly City of Depok. The evaluation was done by looking at the gap between the initial design of the system and the reality of the system's current state. The evaluation method was a gap analysis using a design-reality gap model consisting of 7 dimensions of Information, Technology, Process, Goals and Values, Staff placement and skills, management systems and structures, and other resources (ITPOSMO). The evaluation results showed that the information system failed partially. A recommendation for improvement was proposed so that Child-Friendly Cities' reporting and monitoring information system does not fail miserably. This recommendation aimed to make the reporting and monitoring process for the child-friendly city of Depok more effective.
