Abstract [en]

Disasters are happening all around the world on multiple scales and intensities. Some countries are more vulnerable than others and they are forced to be resilient in this scenario. Nowadays, it has been proven the importance of digital tools for risk prevention. BIM and GIS are digital tools that have been used for diverse purposes. The aim of this research is to understand how BIM and GIS can be integrated for disaster-prone environment prevention and post-earthquake reconstruction. Earthquakes are natural disasters that can be deadly, with BIM and GIS integration it is possible to prevent disaster-prone scenarios and assure urban reconstruction post-earthquake. Mexico City was chosen as the case study. Besides being considered one of the most seismic cities in the world, it has experienced throughout decades fatal post-earthquake destruction. Within the BIM and GIS integration, it is possible to comprehend the territory during an earthquake for prevention of disaster-prone environments and post-earthquake reconstruction. The Special Program for Urban Regeneration and Inclusive Housing in Mexico City is the starting point to analyze the feasibility of this integration in a real-life case scenario. Through the literature review results, it was possible to develop two frameworks based on the aim of this research. In the discussion the frameworks were evaluated by two Mexican specialists to validate the research results. The conclusion focuses on the research final outputs which demonstrates how BIM and GIS can be integrated for urban reconstruction purposes in Mexico City.
