Proje Özeti

The development of deformations in the dense urban areas will be determined using PSI method for the last 4 years over a large study area. Many deformation phenomena such as earthquakes and landslides happened in the last decades. They caused several damages not only to human lives but also to human settlements and natural area. With this research project, how the deformation is distributed over the study area will be investigated. This research is questioning the relationship between geological structure and deformation phenomena are. For this purpose, Persistent Scatterer Interferometry(PSI) method will be applied. Investigation of the behavior of deformation in time and triggering factors of deformation will be the innovative feature of the project. This will lead to organizing planned urbanization and infrastructure activities in one of the world's megacities Istanbul. The results would be useful for a further vulnerability analysis for a high populated megacity.
