Monitoring the change of the points over time is a key component of typical techniques for extracting dynamic responses. This technique was unable to completely extract all of the earthquake’s dynamic properties. The GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) may be a useful tool for obtaining values of the point’s displacement that are more exact up to millimeters, which can help to overcome these flaws and evaluate the seismic wave of such earthquakes. Ultimately, PPP is a crucial tool for getting the precise observations. In this study, Canadian Spatial Reference System Precise Point Positioning (CSRS-PPP) approach to analyze the station’s displacement components and the station’s heights in periods from the two Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The earthquake sequences that occurred in Turkey’s Kahramanmaraş in 2023 is an example of complicated faulting brought on by interactions between three plates close to the Hatay Triple Junction (HTJ). While the relative plate movements in this area are minimal (usually less than 10 mm/year), even sluggish plate motion zones may nevertheless see earthquakes that are quite destructive. Due to the three-plate system’s unusual geometry, a number of large earthquakes with very varied fault orientations were active throughout this series. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake happened on February 6, 2023 in southern Turkey, close to Syria’s northern border. A magnitude 7.5 earthquake, situated about 95 kilometers to the southwest, was occurred nine hours after the first one. The first earthquake was as big as the most powerful one ever recorded there in 1939 and was the most catastrophic to strike earthquake-prone Turkey in more than 20 years. In this study, the effects of two earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş were investigated on the Cyprus Arc, the Dead Sea fault, Hatay and the points close to two earthquakes zone. In the obtained results, it was computed that the greatest horizontal displacement occurred at the HAT2 station with 68.97 cm.</p> Atınç Pırtı Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).

Multifrequency MBES have been developed over the last few decades, and their introduction has dramatically improved the efficiency, accuracy, and spatial resolution of coastal and ocean mapping. The goal of multifrequency MBES is to increase the subsurface’s detection resolution. To obtain an accurate picture of the seabed, the user can lessen the impact of this subsidence by running surveys in three different modes at once. With the help of multifrequency MBES, this study will analyze bathymetry in shallow coastal waters. The digital bathymetric model’s (DBM) frequencies are remarkably close. The depth value of the study site ranges from –20 m to–70 m with reference to lowest water surface (LWS) based on the produced DBM. Generally, the difference between 100 kHz, 200 kHz, and 400 kHz is as small as 0–30 cm, and a small part is 30–60 cm. The volume between frequencies for an area of 1 ha is between 90 m3 to 440 m3. If the thickness of the dredged sediment is 1 m, then the difference in volume between frequencies is less than 5%. The bathymetry difference between 100 kHz and 400 kHz frequencies to –10 cm is dominated by the region of 0 cm. Dredging volume inter frequency ranges from 0.042 m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup> to 0.068 m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup>.</p> Khomsin, Danar Guruh Pratomo, Aditya Nugraha, Muhammad Arif Zulkarnaen Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).

Scientific research on the development and improvement of economic-statistical methods for mass monetary valuation of land plots is analyzed. The peculiarities and advantages of using GIS in the valuation procedure are considered. A structure of the valuation database is developed for the effective selection of comparable plots during valuation by comparing sales prices and market analysis. The valuation database is formed based on data on land plot sales. Price formation factors are analyzed in order to construct an economic-statistical model of market value for land plots in Rivne. Scales of indicator values are proposed for formalizing the assessment of price formation factors. Functions of the ArcGIS are used to establish indicator values. The market value of land plots is modeled using multiple regression analysis. Additionally, a surface of land plot values is constructed, which serves to determine the approximate market value. The model has been verified using GIS tools. An accuracy assessment of the developed model has been carried out.</p> Roman Shulgan, Kateryna Nikolaichuk Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).

Currently, cities, where more than 50% of the world’s population live, are the main reasons for the change of natural landscapes. The development of cities and the intensity of urbanization accelerate these changes. Therefore, our research is dedicated to the current issue. During the research, preference was given to modern methods. Landsat 5, 8 and 9 satellite images of 6 cities located on the Shirvan plain were obtained. As a result of the processing and analysis of these satellite images, the development of the territory and population of the cities was studied, and their effects on the natural landscape, its components, vegetation and water bodies were analyzed. The boundaries of cities in 1975 and 2023 were determined and compared. As a result of the conducted studies, it was determined by the processing of the 1975 topo plans and the 2023 satellite images that the area of the cities has increased by at least 2 times. The high average annual growth of the population has led to the transformation of cities from small towns to medium and large cities in a short period of time. This causes the loss of biodiversity as soon as possible and accelerates this process.</p> Shahnaz S. Amanova, Gulnar N. Hajiyeva, Jabbar S. Najafov, Leyla P.
