2 CONTENTS Base Map Development Hazard Mapping - Active Fault Study - Engineering Geological Mapping - Seismic Hazard Mapping Vulnerability Mapping - Building - Lifeline (transportation & utility system) - Essential Facilities

3 GIS DATABASE DEVELOPMENT What is GIS? A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. Database View Model View Map View

4 BASE MAP Geological Map Source: GSB Grid Microzonation

5 BASE MAP Quickbird Images Resolution: 62cm Acquisition date: Georeferencing: RTK GPS & DGPS

6 Base Map Development Collection of Quick Bird Image Selection of TIC/GCP on the Image and Establishment of Bench Mark Development of GIS database as a base map by incorporating attribute data & field information Geo-referencing the Quickbird Image by RTK GPS with the surveyed GCPs Field verification and Attribute information collection Base line survey with total station On Screen Digitization (building, road, water body, open space, hill)

7 BASE MAP Topographic Maps Source: SoB (Dhaka & Sylhet), BIWTA&CDA (Chittagong) Scan & georeference Spot-height digitization Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation

8 BASE MAP Ward Maps Source: DCC, CDA, SCC Scan, georeference, digitize Field verification & revision Validate to City Corporation Cluster generation
