    Earthquake Response Framework With IoT-Based E-Government Services
    (Modestum, 2026) Mishra, A.; Alzoubi, Y.I.; Ibrahim, T.
    Earthquakes present a genuine threat to both lives and property, necessitating the minimization of their impact wherever possible. This is especially critical in countries like Iraq, which suffer from inadequate infrastructure. Consequently, this study developed a framework aimed at bolstering Iraq’s current disaster management system to respond to earthquakes. The designation of this system stems from its integration of information and communication technology principles alongside the Internet of things (IoT). The framework’s development was built based on related literature and data collected from websites related to disaster management, including the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Communication. The resultant framework was constructed utilizing unified modeling language diagrams, including both use-case and activity diagrams. This endeavor represents one of the few initiatives undertaken in the context of Iraq. Future research endeavors focusing on disaster planning in Iraq and similar contexts may utilize the findings of this study as a foundational resource. © 2026 by Author/s and Licensed by Modestum DOO, Serbia.

    A Proposal For The Establishment Of Building Identity Numbers İn Turkey Based On The Performance Of Buildings During Earthquakes;
    (Ankara University, 2021) Aral, M.; Tunç, G.
    Turkey lies on an active seismic belt with very severe earthquake fault lines that can produce devastating effects. Thus, the country is always in danger of an earthquake. Moreover, due to the unpredictability of the location and time characteristics of earthquakes, there is always a high risk that residences and work environments will be severely damaged. Therefore, the performance of buildings and structures during and after an earthquake is an important evaluation criterion. In this study, the concerns and expectations of users (consumers) concerning the structural strength of their living and working spaces will be examined and evaluated. The technical features of the buildings that define their living and working spaces, and how information regarding their earthquake resistance reaches users, will constitute the essence of this study. Detailed information about the infrastructure needed to create building identification numbers will be provided, and suggestions will be made with respect to the Turkish context. Creating a conscious consumer base and minimizing the destructive effects and loss of life caused by earthquakes are among the aims of these recommendations. © 2021, Ankara University.
