Tóm tắt

During the last decade of the 20th century, Turkey was shocked with numerous disasters. As a result, central government or Turkey has decided to settle a national Crises Management Center. One of the main responsibilities of this center is to predict, track and minimize the effects of disasters in any part of the country. GIS-based disaster simulators are currently being developed for this purpose. In this paper, a subset of those simulators will be reviewed. Some technical details of the simulations, basic underlying models of simulations, and extent of required RS data will be presented.
