Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

31
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Area of Science:

  • Disaster Management
  • Educational Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional flood evacuation drills often use monotonous methods, proving ineffective in realistically simulating dangers and driving behavioral change.
  • Existing pedagogical approaches struggle to significantly impact participants' understanding and preparedness for flood disasters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) flood evacuation training.
  • To enhance participants' knowledge and self-efficacy concerning flood disaster preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed.
  • Forty-five students participated in the study, undergoing IVR flood evacuation drills.
  • Effectiveness was measured by improvements in knowledge and self-efficacy.

Main Results:

  • IVR training significantly improved knowledge of best evacuation practices (p < 0.005).
  • Self-efficacy regarding flood disaster response was significantly enhanced (p < 0.005).
  • IVR demonstrated a long-term influence on memory retention compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) is a potent pedagogical tool for flood evacuation training.
  • IVR offers a more efficient, cost-effective, and engaging method for disaster education.
  • Integrating IVR into disaster education transforms knowledge into actionable preparedness steps.
