These geohazards frequently cause infrastructure damage, resulting in power outages and loss of communications. This situation highlights the critical need for geospatial technologies to bridge data gaps in assessement of disaster-related damage. However, current literature typically examines landslides, infrastructure damage, and power outages as separate incidents rather than as cascading failures. To address this research gap, our study aimed to synthesize the existing body of knowledge on multi-hazard interactions using a systematic review approach. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, the study analyzed 162 articles from 2010 to June 2025, sourced from Google Scholar, Springer, and Web of Science. Our findings indicate a growing trend toward the application of machine learning and deep learning in geospatial approaches for damage assessment. Notably, significant scientific contributions in this field predominantly originate from Asia and North America, revealing a geographic gap in research from Africa. In addition, the study discusses the challenges associated with interferometry methods for landslide analysis, classification techniques for building damage assessment, and the use of nighttime light data concerning damage-related power outages. Our findings reveal a significant gap in the absence of an integrated multi-hazard assessment. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel framework for the comprehensive evaluation of the interconnectedness between extreme precipitation, landslides, and infrastructure-induced power outages. This framework provides a roadmap for more resilient disaster management strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46286,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geomatics","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12518-026-00745-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148173633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among visible indicators, cracks represent one of the most relevant features for evaluating structural damage. As part of the wider project RAISE (NRRP-ECS00000035), this study proposes an image-based deep learning approach for automatic crack detection in church buildings, with the aim of supporting traditional survey procedures and reducing both inspection time and operator risk. A convolutional neural network based on transfer learning is developed and evaluated using the Xception architecture. The model is first trained on a large benchmark dataset already available of concrete crack images. Image patches are extracted and classified in a binary framework (crack vs. non-crack), and model performance is assessed using standard metrics such as Precision, Recall, and F1-score. While initial training on concrete images yields satisfactory results (98% accuracy), performance drops significantly when applied to church images, highlighting a strong domain shift. Retraining with church-specific data, a custom dataset collected from churches in the Liguria region, including surfaces characterized by frescoes, plaster, and decorative elements, substantially improves performance. It achieves a Precision of 93.87%, a Recall of 88.45%, and an F1-score of 91.08% on frescoed surfaces of the vaults, a fundamental element in the damage survey phase. Additional tests investigate the influence of lighting conditions, image resolution, and capture distance, providing practical guidance for acquisition protocol design. The results demonstrate the potential of deep learning techniques for supporting crack detection in heritage contexts, while also highlighting current limitations related to data variability and patch-level classification. Future developments will focus on dataset expansion, pixel-level segmentation approaches, and integration with standardized damage assessment frameworks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46286,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geomatics","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12518-026-00743-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148009820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a mobile GIS framework for the in-situ measurement and classification of coastal defence infrastructure using a web-application developed on Kobo Toolbox, an open-source platform configured to support standardized, georeferenced, and multimedia-enabled data collection in remote or resource-constrained environments. The framework was piloted along Kerala’s 593-kilometre coastline in India, a geomorphologically diverse region characterised by seasonal erosion and high exposure to climate-related hazards. Field deployment during the monsoon season resulted in 1,420 structured survey records of coastal features, supported by over 3,500 handheld GPS observations and approximately 20 gigabytes of photographic documentation collected by trained survey teams. Structures were classified as intact, partially damaged, or totally disintegrated, with condition assessments linked to functional performance metrics such as beach width and sediment deposition patterns. Collected data were centrally managed, validated through expert review, and integrated into GIS environments for spatial analysis and reporting. A qualitative comparison with traditional field surveys, UAV photogrammetry, satellite remote sensing, and citizen-science-based monitoring highlights the framework’s strengths in data consistency, scalability, operation efficiency, and suitability for routine deployment.

Among current GNSS constellations, Galileo offers specific advantages for such applications, including signal authentication through the Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA), which enables navigation message authentication and increases the reliability of GNSS-based monitoring system. This study investigates the capability of low-cost GNSS instrumentation to detect millimetric displacements by using only Galileo observations. A dedicated experimental test network composed of five sites was established, where low-cost and geodetic-grade receivers operated simultaneously under identical conditions. At the central monitoring site, controlled three-dimensional displacements were imposed using a calibrated triaxial translation sledge. Three low-cost antennas with similar electronic electrical characteristics but different costs were tested in combination with a dual-frequency u-blox receiver. The collected datasets were processed on a daily basis using both Precise Point Positioning (PPP) and relative positioning approach, relying exclusively on Galileo E1 and E5a signals. The results demonstrate that low-cost GNSS systems can achieve coordinate repeatability comparable to geodetic-grade solutions, particularly for horizontal components. Millimetric horizontal displacements (≥ 2.5 mm) are reliably detected in PPP, while relative positioning enables detection down to 1 mm for short baselines (100 m). Vertical displacement sensitivity is more dependent on antenna quality, highlighting the critical role of antenna design. Overall, the results confirm that low-cost Galileo-based GNSS systems represent a reliable and cost-effective solution for long-term displacement monitoring applications, provided that appropriate antenna choice and processing strategies are adopted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46286,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geomatics","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12518-026-00740-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148009487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on previous desertification sensitivity research in Balat, El-Dakhla Oasis, Egypt, this study introduces a diagnostic framework that integrates soil profile analysis with spectral validation to produce a Composite Degradation Index (DI). Thirty georeferenced soil profiles were examined for salinity (ECe), calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), gypsum, gravel content, and texture, each classified into severity levels using FAO and USDA thresholds. These indicators were aggregated into a DI (0–100), delineating four degradation classes: Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. GIS interpolation revealed heterogeneous degradation patterns, with severe multi-factor hotspots concentrated in reclaimed lands. Validation with Sentinel‑2-derived NDVI and albedo confirmed strong correspondence between vegetation decline, surface reflectance, and high DI values (R² = 0.664). Results indicate that 10% of the study area is under very high degradation, 30% high, 50% moderate, and only 10% low. Unlike conventional sensitivity mapping, this status-based diagnosis provides management-oriented outputs, identifying remediation bundles tailored to specific constraints (e.g., drainage for saline soils, micronutrient supplementation for calcareous soils, stabilization for gypsiferous soils, organic amendments for gravelly textures).

Data collected using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based LiDAR provide detailed geometric information but are often affected by occlusions, limited viewpoints, and sensor constraints, resulting in incomplete datasets. Although data fusion using the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm and Laplacian-based enhancement can mitigate these limitations, existing research typically treats fusion and surface reconstruction as separate processes, often applying reconstruction directly to fused data without prior quality assessment. This limits the generation of complete and geometrically consistent 3D building models from heterogeneous datasets. To address this gap, this study proposes a unified framework for 3D building surface reconstruction from fused point clouds derived from TLS, UAV LiDAR, and photogrammetric sources.

Although certain architectural features, such as windows and pillars, are preserved, they are not yet semantically structured, indicating potential for extension toward higher LoDs (e.g., LoD3).
