The Compilation of the European Building Inventory

Project Information

Project Objective

The estimated distribution of building types for the countries in the inventory has been determined using various image processing techniques and statistical calibration analysis, based on satellite imagery, CorinLandcover and Landscan population data. The resulting estimated building distribution was used by the ‘Department of Earthquake Engineering, Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, Boğaziçi University’ to assign building types in accordance with the European building classification to the countries included in the project, at the application cell level, using the building count distribution ratios determined for each country’s building types within the scope of the PAGER project.
