BUILDING TO THE ACTIVE TECTONIC DATABASE OF CHINA
Qu Chunyan · Seismology and Geology · 2008
Based on ArcGIS and MapInfo software,we digitized the active tectonic map(1∶4,000,000)of China,which was compiled and revised by Academician Deng Qidong,and built the spatial database of active tectonics of China. The database integrates rich active tectonic data,such as earthquake catalogue with magnitude above 6,active faults,the Quaternary basins,active folds and their associated attribute parameters,and implements the scientific and effective management to these active tectonic data. At the same time,the spatial database joins the spatial map data and its associated attribute data together,which implements the data query between spatial feature and its attribute parameters and also makes it possible to do spatial analysis with different data layers. These provide much convenience for earthquake study and engineering construction institutions to use these data in practical application.
