The main direction here is monitoring and assessment of the state of the natural environment, modeling of environmental disasters and analysis of their consequences, planning of nature protection measures.
Today, well-developed GIS systems are used to protect the environment. It has become an integrated, well-developed and successful tool in disaster management and mitigation. GIS can assist in risk management and analysis by indicating areas prone to natural or man-made disasters. When such disasters are detected, preventive measures can be developed.
Landslide hazard zone assessment using GIS: Landslide hazard zone is the process of ranking different parts of the area according to the degree of actual or potential hazard from landslides. Landslide hazard assessment is a complex task. It has been possible to efficiently collect, manipulate and integrate various spatial data such as geological, structural, surface cover and slope characteristics of the area that can be used for the hazard zone. All the above layers can be well integrated using GIS to analyze the tree and find the landslide prone area. With the help of GIS, we can perform risk assessments and reduce loss of life and property.
GIS helps document the need for disaster relief funds when needed, and is used by insurance agencies to help estimate property loss, monetary value. is done. Local government agencies can map flood risk areas to assess the level of flood potential in the area and estimate damage, which can be displayed on digital maps.
Volcanic hazards to human life and the environment include gas clouds of hot particles, lava flows, and floods. A potential volcanic hazard zone is known for its characteristic historical record of volcanic activity and these Can be combined with GIS. Thus, GIS-based platforms allow us to detect the damage in the assessment of volcanic impact on economic, life and property losses in densely populated areas. Rapid response to volcanic activity can help reduce the impact on people's wealth and health.
