THE USE OF DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS IN EMERGENCY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC PLANNING: A CASE STUDY AT KOS - YALI - NISYROS - TILOS ISLANDS, GREECE

摘要

The use of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is important for any geo-environmental study. The aim of the present study was the production of a selection of DEMs in different scales with various resolutions for the Kos -Yah' -Nisyros -Tilos island area in Greece. These DEMs will serve as the base for thematic applications as well as the base for production of a great variety of maps. All the layers (raster or vector) are included in a GIS database of the selected region for a multidisciplinary study relating to Emergency and Socioeconomic Planning.
