摘要

Over the past decades, there has been a rise in the number and magnitude of natural and man-made disasters worldwide. Many inhabitants face various kinds of events such as earthquakes, flooding, storms, tsunamis, drought and the after-effects of conflicts. The various disasters and their consequences are a global challenge, especially when the effects of climate change are taken into consideration. In particular, surveying and spatial professionals play an essential role through their work related to land, sea, air and space in terms of preventive action, post-disaster activities and the long-term rebuilding and planning of areas.
