File formats define in which way the geographical features are stored. Raster and vector data are stored in different formats. There are numerous formats available for both raster and vector data. It is important to consider the file format of GIS data because software programs rarely support all file types. If you want to use GIS data that was saved in a particular format not supported by your GI

Responsible partner: Research topic and aims: This project will include data collection on the livelihood types, water resources, and potential short term and long term physical risk factors. All data will be collected with a focus of being used and analyzed in GIS. The first aim of this project is to estimate spatial flooding potential of standalone and joint extreme events. The second aim is t
Responsible partner: Research topic and aims: Planning and decision-making is an important part of disaster management in all phases. When a disaster strikes, the society needs urgent help in terms of shelter, food, medical facilities, evacuation, etc., while the time and the available resources are limited. The first objective of this project is to define, formulate and model disaster management
