Scientific paper

This contribution is an assessment of possible roles of space-borne SAR in disaster management and humanitarian relief projects. Time constraints, data selection, and the selected approach depend strongly on the specific task requested. Different categories of tasks were identified, including rapid mapping (i.e. making cartographic information available for a poorly mapped area in a short period of time), hazard mapping (i.e. mapping the spatial extent and the degree of damage which occurred in a hazard event), thematic mapping for reconstruction planning, and risk assessment. The results of an evaluation of the methodology, potential, and limitations of SAR for rapid mapping and hazard mapping based on specific examples are represented.
