Gypsum collapse hazards and importance of hazard mapping
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Collapse in gypsum terrains is a serious geological hazard and can damage engineering structures, settlement areas, natural lakes, and allow infiltration of contaminants into the groundwater. Presentation of engineering ...
Investigating Environmental Health Studies Using Geographical Information Systems: Cancer Case Study
(HARD, 2013)
Geographical information systems (GIS) have been extensively used to research public health issues in recent years. Cancer is one of the most important health issues around the world. In this study, a standard, effective ...
A case study for mapping of spatial distribution of free surface heave in alluvial soils (Yalova, Turkey) by using GIS software
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
A procedure for producing a surface heave map using GIS package in clayey alluvial soils is proposed. An active zone was first defined, and the layers in the active zone were subdivided according to their swelling ...
Automatic Detection of Shoreline Change by Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing in the Goksu Delta, Turkey
(SPRINGER, 2019)
The changes occurring in the coastal regions of the countries with coasts are a very important issue for many professional disciplines, especially management and planning. Although the studies conducted on the detection ...
A comparison of landslide susceptibility mapping of the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey) by likelihood-frequency ratio and analytic hierarchy process methods
(SPRINGER, 2013)
The North Anatolian Fault is known as one of the most active and destructive fault zones which produced many earthquakes with high magnitudes both in historical and instrumental periods. Along this fault zone, the morphology ...
Utilization of ground subsidence caused by underground mining to produce a map of possible land-use areas for urban planning purposes
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2015)
The presented work deals with a new type of map titled-a map of a possible area use for planned built-up area purposes in areas affected by underground mining-related subsidence. Generally, accepted theory of a subsidence ...
Comparison of landslide susceptibility mapping methodologies for Koyulhisar, Turkey: conditional probability, logistic regression, artificial neural networks, and support vector machine
(SPRINGER, 2010)
This case study presented herein compares the GIS-based landslide susceptibility mapping methods such as conditional probability (CP), logistic regression (LR), artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machine ...
GIS-based kinematic slope instability and slope mass rating (SMR) maps: application to a railway route in Sivas (Turkey)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2012)
The paper discusses the use of kinematic stability and slope mass rating (SMR) maps in GIS based on field studies recording the relationships between the bedding/joint geometry relative to the orientation of the free face. ...
The effect of the sampling strategies on the landslide susceptibility mapping by conditional probability and artificial neural networks
(SPRINGER, 2010)
This study presented herein compares the effect of the sampling strategies by means of landslide inventory on the landslide susceptibility mapping. The conditional probability (CP) and artificial neural networks (ANN) ...
Structural and geomorphological aspects of the Kat landslides (Tokat-Turkey) and susceptibility mapping by means of GIS
(SPRINGER, 2006)
Kat County, which is located in a slope of hilly region and constructed in the side of a mountain along the North Anatolian Fault Zone, is frequently subject to landslides. The slides occur during periods of heavy rainfall, ...
