 note = {Earthquakes are frequently occurred in Japan. Furthermore Japan has predict a huge
earthquake in the next 30 years. For this reason, the important plants will be a big role to survive in disasters.
Lupines (Local Useful Plants with Intelligent Networks of Exploring Surface) has been developed by
Research Organization for Regional Alliances in Kochi University of Technology in 2011. Lupines is a
database for vegetation resource which has collected various data of vegetation. Therefore, growth
environment of the important plants will be evaluated by GIS using Lupines. Generally, the important plants
inhabit often in forest road and footpath around farmland. This study aimed to use field survey data and
reference data which clarified habitat characteristics of important plants. Used reference data are categorized
topography, meteorology and land surface. Mountain village map was created by spatial analysis using land
cover classification. Field survey data was important data for integrating Lupines was evaluated with the
reference data. Habitat suitable land of important plants was selected from characteristics of habitat of each
important plant. The proposed approach could be accurate that the field survey data were increased in the
future. Incidentally, reference data were insufficient, therefore the global solar radiation data of forest area
could be prepared in future.},
