Spatial Modeling for Reducing Earthquake Disaster Damages in Iran

Earthquake is one of disaster that when happened causes many problems in economic and society in Iran, so earthquake disaster management is necessary for decreasing these problem effects. Because of most related data with earthquake and its effects have spatial properties, so GIS can be used as effective tool for managing and decision making in disaster. In some countries such as Iran, disaster...

Modeling and Analyzing Earthquake Induced Building Damages in a Gis

After a catastrophe like an earthquake a quick assessment of the damages has to be carried out in order to initiate repair actions. Especially building damages have to be recorded, in order to be able to give housing to the unsheltered as quickly as possible. To this end, the degree of damage of a building has to be captured, and based on these information decisions concerning the measures have...

Earthquake Damage Visualization (EDV) Technique for the Rapid Detection of Earthquake-Induced Damages Using SAR Data

The damage of buildings and manmade structures, where most of human activities occur, is the major cause of casualties of from earthquakes. In this paper, an improved technique, Earthquake Damage Visualization (EDV) is presented for the rapid detection of earthquake damage using the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The EDV is based on the pre-seismic and co-seismic coherence change method. ...

An Agent-Based System to Minimize Earthquake-Induced Damages

Over 2000 earthquakes happen every year in Japan, so that this country is often called earthquake-ridden (Government of Japan, 2006). There exists a serious problem to prevent the occurrence of earthquake-induced disasters, such as fire, short-circuits, gas leakage, etc. With the recent advent of nation-wide telecommunication networks, real-time earthquake information can be received at every h...
