Geographic information systems (GIS) were adopted in order to determine the population density of rats in residential areas in Ota-ku, Tokyo. The GIS data was converted into a building occupancy index and a building number index, and compared with the rat population data based on interviews with inhabitants in three investigation districts. Three indices in three investigation districts (800m×400m) were analyzed in every compartment (50m×50m). The results suggested that the population index of rats corresponded with the number of trapped rats and rat signs. The population index of rats was positively correlated with increasing building coverage and/or the number of houses and buildings. Therefore, GIS can facilitate forecasting the rat distribution.
