Damage Determination of Buildings Collapsed in Earthquake with UAV, Drone and Göktürk Satellite

The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change continues its damage assessment studies from land and air with its expert teams for 10 provinces affected by the earthquake. In addition to its land studies, the Ministry carries out preliminary damage assessment studies by comparing the three-dimensional pre-created digital twins of cities with the snapshots from 12 aircraft UAVs, drones and Göktürk satellite, with the studies carried out from the coordination center of the General Directorate of Geographic Information Systems. With the digital twin technology, the numbering and population data of the damaged buildings in the cadastre and Spatial Address Registration System (MAKS) are matched with the notification data added to the system, and integrated into the ATLAS system of the Ministry, so that the number of people residing in the collapsed buildings can be accessed by the teams assigned during the earthquake. According to the statement made by the Ministry, the data provided by the General Staff and the Gendarmerie General Command and Göktürk satellite data, data obtained from aircraft UAVs and Aksungur UAV images played an active role in the studies carried out in the disaster area.

The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change contributes to the preliminary damage assessment studies by comparing the digital city twin images with the instantaneous aircraft UAV, drone and Göktürk satellite images, as well as the damage assessment studies carried out from the land in 10 cities damaged in the earthquake.

Within the scope of the studies carried out by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, satellite images and images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles are used for preliminary damage assessment studies. Within the scope of the studies carried out from the coordination center of the General Directorate of Geographic Information Systems of the Ministry, the images and coordinate information obtained with the 81D digital city twin technology completed in 3 provinces are compared with the images taken by 10 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones and satellites from 12 provinces damaged by the earthquake. is being done. With the digital city twin technology, the numbering and population data of the damaged buildings in the cadastre and Spatial Address Registration System (MAKS) are matched with the notification data added to the system, and integrated into the ATLAS system.

“Working in coordination with institutions”

In the statement of the Ministry, the following statements were used, emphasizing that the damage assessments were carried out in a healthy way and in coordination with the institutions:

“The numbering and population data in the Cadastre and Spatial Address Registration System (MAKS) were matched with the notification data added to the system and integrated into the ATLAS system. Relevant data has been made available to all our teams in charge of the earthquake. In this framework, the data provided by the General Staff, Göktürk satellite data, data obtained from the General Command of Mapping aircraft and Aksungur UAV images played an active role in the studies carried out in the disaster area. Again, under the coordination of the General Directorate of Geographical Information Systems of our Ministry, the work of taking sensitive images in 12 provinces located in the disaster area with 12 unmanned aerial vehicles of 10 companies from the private sector continues. The cadastre and title deed information of the buildings in the region, as well as the number of independent sections and persons, have been integrated into our system with the comprehensive studies carried out in the coordination center we established in our Ministry. With the studies carried out in our field of duty, access to data has been provided for collapsed and collapsed buildings in all areas in all areas that will be needed.”
