Abstract
The struggle of mankind against the consequences of strong and catastrophic earthquakes has been going on throughout its history, and so far, success in this field is rather modest. This is due to the complexity and inaccessibility of objects for studying deep geological processes that lead to defor-mation and destruction of the Earth's crust, in which seismicity is manifested. Earthquake risk assess-ment for earthquake mitigation is one of the most important issues for a country where such natural disasters can occur. Tectonic and structural-geological studies using modern space remote sensing tools and their integration with spatial data in a geographic information system (GIS) environment are becoming increasingly popular among scientists. Ruptures and associated surface deformation due to ground shaking can be observed with remote sensing data. The use of remote sensing methods to rec-ognize the displacement of faults was carried out in Isfahan (Iran). Based on the obtained data, a map of seismic activity was compiled with field checks and laboratory data analysis. Thus, the purpose of the article is to show the possibilities of geoinformatics for the study of earthquakes. This will increase resilience to future earthquakes, especially for those historic buildings and bridges that are over 400 years old.
