The majority of these casualties and property loss could be prevented if better information were available regarding the onset and course of such disasters. Several remote sensing technologies, such as meteorological and Earth observation satellites, communication satellites, and satellite-based positioning, supported by geoinformation technologies, offer the potential to contribute to improved prediction and monitoring of potential hazards, risk mitigation, and disaster management which, in turn, would lead to sharp reductions in losses to life and property. This book explores most of the scientific issues related to spatially supported disaster management and its integration with geographical information system technologies in different disaster examples and scales. Dealing with disasters over space and time represents a long-lasting theme, now approached by means of innovative techniques and modelling approaches. Several priorities for actions are outlined toward preventing new and reduce existing disaster risks, including understanding disaster risk, strengthening disaster risk governance for management of disaster risk, investing in disaster reduction for resilience, and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response. This book presents ideas to address the challenges facing different components of spatial patterns related to ecological processes, and the published articles extended versions of selected presentations from the Gi4DM Conference in 2019 in Prague.Environmental economicsbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscavailabilityBlack seacartographic symbolsclimate changeCNNcomparative analysiscomputer visioncrisis mapdeveloping urban settlementsdronefire severity mappingfirst responderfloodforest regenerationfuzzy logicGANGIS, householdGNSSgraphic designhydrodynamic modelINACHUSIndex methodlandslidelogistic regressionM-AHPmachine learningMamdani fuzzy algorithmmap symbologymapping impactmulti-hazardmultispectral imageryn/aParrot SEQUOIApoint cloudspost-fire managementpromulgationRECONASSsatellite altimetrysea level changesea level riseSentinel-2Asharingsolar salt farmingstandardisationsusceptibility mappingtaxonomytidal floodtide gaugeunmanned aerial vehiclesvulnerabilityEnvironmental economicsResearch & information: generalAltan Orhanedt276451Tanzi Tullio JosephedtChandra MadhuedtSunar FilizedtHalounová LenaedtAltan OrhanothTanzi Tullio JosephothChandra MadhuothSunar FilizothHalounová LenaothBOOK9910557426203321GI for Disaster Management3024505UNINA
