Abstract:
3D GIS Research and Information System developed by World Agency of Planetary Monitoring and Earthquake Risk Reduction (WAPMERR) in cooperation with Informap software development department and the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics SB RAS (ICM&MG SB RAS) is considered. The purposes of this system are reducing risk due to natural and man-maid hazards and rescue planning after disasters. These goals are achieved by advancing methods of real-time modeling and loss assessment, by estimating the extent of future disasters in scenario mode, by calculating of risks, by characterizing the nature of the building stock in cities at risk, and through monitoring by satellite images. We demonstrate the global-area coverage of 3D-GIS System, the full three-dimensionality and manipulation with 3D models of buildings, the possibility for the Earth surface zooming at any point, the digital cartographic base design with the use of satellite images, elevation and bathymetry models, as well as the possibility for manipulation with the point, raster and vector data layers, and the availability of data analyzing and processing plug-ins. One of the important features of 3D GIS System is the software for numerical modeling of geophysical processes and phenomena, as well as for loss assessment from natural and man-made hazards, based on modern mathematical models. We describe the database management system intended for visualization and handling of historical data for hazards and illustrate the system performance for disasters such as the tsunamis and earthquakes.
