Afet yönetiminde bilginin 3B sanal kentsel ortamlarda görsellenmesi için bir çerçeve geliştirilmesi.

In recent years, new developments in technology have brought about novel methods and platforms that have provided innovative visualization of geo-spatial information. Among the possible platforms, 3D virtual platforms are increasingly preferred as they not only depict the real world phenomena but also convey additional information. The creation of 3D geo-spatial information visualization in the conducted studies is mainly technology-driven and not standardized. Moreover, perception of the user, user experience and cognitive processes are not considered profoundly. 3D geo-spatial information visualization has widespread usage in Disaster Management as it allows decision makers a better understanding of the disaster phenomena. The aim of the study is to build a framework that follows a user-centered approach and to propose steps to design effective visualizations for Disaster Management specialists. The framework is enhanced with theories and concepts from the disciplines of cartography, human computer interaction and cognitive science. The proposed framework provides guidance for creating visualizations of information in Disaster Management. In this thesis, guidelines are proposed for visualization of disaster risk in order to help decision makers take accurate and rapid decisions.Ph.D. - Doctoral Progra
