DRASTIC-Fm-URBAN index: an updated and reliable GIS vulnerability mapping for the assessment of fractured rock media in urban areas

Mapping of Environmental Pollution in Urban Areas with Gis

Environmental pollution in urban areas has resulted in the design of monitoring and decision-making systems. These systems are supported by the information systems that can manage spatial dynamics of pollution processes. Due to a wide range of data, which are necessary for modeling of spatio-temporal phenomena, new methods of data collection and management have to be created. This paper describ...

A multipurpose method for seismic vulnerability assessment of urban areas

The present work outlines a methodological framework for “ordering” through progressive levels of analyses different evaluation models concerning the seismic vulnerability at urban scale, with respect to the possible final objectives: seismic scenarios, emergency or urban planning, as far as seismic mitigation or economical estimates. The research work has been developed within the URBISIT Proj...

GIS-based DRASTIC method for groundwater vulnerability assessment: a review

assessment of the park- ang damage index for performance levels of rc moment resisting frames

چکیده هدف اصلی از طراحی لرزه ای تامین ایمنی جانی در هنگام وقوع زلزله و تعمیر پذیر بودن سازه خسارت دیده، پس از وقوع زلزله است. تجربه زلزله های اخیر نشان داده است که ساختمان های طراحی شده با آیین نامه های مبتنی بر نیرو از نظر محدود نمودن خسارت وارده بر سازه دقت لازم را ندارند. این امر سبب پیدایش نسل جدید آیین نامه های مبتنی بر عملکرد شده است. در این آیین نامه ها بر اساس تغییرشکل های غیرارتجاعی ...

The role of remote sensing and GIS in risk mapping and damage assessment for disasters in urban areas

The increased vulnerability of many urban areas, especially in developing countries is a major reason of concern. Emphasis should be given to the reduction of vulnerability in urban areas. Most of the data required for disaster management has a spatial component, and is also changing over time. Therefore the use of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems has become essential in urban ...
