“…In terms of the disaster management stage, more than one-third of the articles (36%) investigated emergency responses that included immediate activities during a disaster (i.e., information collection for medical assistance (Zubairi and Idwan 2018), rescue unit mobilization (Hossain et al 2021), evacuation plan (Pereira 2021), and hospital allocation (Schempp et al 2019). Another one-third of the studies (34%) focused on preparedness, activities prior to a disaster, such as developing monitoring and an early warning system (Tao 2020), risk detection (Sharma, Singh, and Kumar 2020), and emergency training and simulations (Sermet and Demir 2022). Recovery actions (9%), including risk assessment (Villegas and Martinez 2022; Kangi 2015; Hao and Wang 2020) or physical and psychological care for victims (Pourebrahim et al 2019), were the least studied disaster management stage.…”

Despite a growing body of research on the smart city framework for disaster resilience, a comprehensive systematic literature review from urban planning perspectives has never been attempted. In this review of smart and resilient cities, we distill vital learning and shared concepts, identify research trends and limitations, and suggest avenues for future research. The results reveal that reviewed articles primarily focused on methodological approaches addressing how to adapt technologies for disaster resilience, yet rarely discussed the sociological approaches to environment, economy, and governance. This study will provide a reference to trace existing research and suggest equitable smart resilience.

“…The integration of web technologies within environmental sciences stands as a fundamental push forward towards enhanced and more holistic data analysis, visualization, and accessibility (Vitolo et al, 2015;Sit et al, 2021;Erazo Ramirez et al, 2024). These technologies have allowed the creation of visualization interfaces (Sermet and Demir, 2022) and analytical frameworks operable directly within web browsers, falling under standards stipulated by web authorities facilitating the effective adoption of new technologies. Moreover, the implementation of technologies like web components (W3C, 2014) has notably removed significant obstacles in using programming languages by allowing data-driven instructions through markup language (Xiang and Demir, 2022).…”

The development of web technologies and their integration into various fields has allowed a new era in data-driven decision-making and public information accessibility, especially through their adoption of monitoring and quantification environmental data resources provided by governmental institutions. While the use of web technologies has given way to the creation of democratized applications, challenges persist in dealing with non-standardized data formats, especially considering the complexities of environmental data. To overcome these challenges and obtain up-to-date information from different institutions, we present Geo-WC: a web component framework specifically designed for earth and environmental sciences, serving as a bridge across various scientific domains. The Geo-WC utilizes a developer-friendly approach through simple HTML declarative syntax to unify information in a consolidated processing interface, allowing accessibility to users with different skill sets. The framework integrates widely used web technologies, facilitating client-side data analysis, visualization, and accessibility within web browsers.

“…Immersive technologies provide a new direction for users and researchers to explore either real or virtual 360 • environments with a Head Mounted Display (HMD). For these reasons, MR, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) have been employed in a number of applications from the medical field (Barrie et al, 2019;Gao et al, 2019;Hu et al, 2019;Gerup et al, 2020;Halder, 2022), virtual training (Brunnström et al, 2018;Kong et al, 2018;Hynes et al, 2019), virtual tourism (Baran and Baran, 2022), art and design (Du, 2021), construction and design process (Calderon-Hernandez et al, 2019;Orihuela et al, 2019;Tabrizi and Sanguinetti, 2019), and environmental simulations (Sermet and Demir, 2022).…”

Human reaction time in a mixed reality environment

et al. 2022

Over the last few years applications based on the use of immersive environments, where physical and digital objects coexist and interact, have gained widespread attention. Thanks to the development of new visualization devices, even at low cost, and increasingly effective rendering and processing techniques, these applications are reaching a growing number of users. While the adoption of digital information makes it possible to provide immersive experiences in a number of different applications, there are still many unexplored aspects. In this work, a preliminary step to understand the impact of the scene content on human perception of the virtual 3D elements in a mixed reality has been performed. To this aim, a subjective test was designed and implemented to collect the reaction time of a set of users in a mixed reality application. In this test each user was asked to wear an augmented reality headset and to catch a virtual objects randomly appearing in the subject's field of view. We first estimated the detection accuracy through omitted, anticipated, and completed responses; then we related stimulus location, scene content and estimated accuracy. For this purpose, the area of stimulus presentation was divided into upper, lower, right, left, inner, and outer, to understand in which area responses were omitted and anticipated with respect to the central point of view. Experimental results show that, in addition to the saliency of the real scene, natural body gesture technology and limited field of view influenced human reaction time.
