Abstract

This article is focused on the creation of a data model of an information system to support the processes of population sheltering (PoS). PoS processes have undergone significant changes in the Czech Republic. The PoS system was transformed for the use of improvised shelters. For sustainable PoS, it is necessary to standardize the approach of crisis management staff. Key research hypotheses: the data model must respect the methodological framework of planning and implementation of the PoS, especially when used for the design and implementation of the improvised shelters; the standardization of residential buildings can be used to facilitate and streamline the sustainable process of planning of the PoS; the unified data model of the PoS can be considered suitable for standardization and development in the field of sustainable planning and implementation of the PoS. Softwares such as SW QGIS desktop 2.6.0, OpenStreetMap (OSM) spatial database, ESRI shapefile format, and S-JTSK/Krovak East North 5514 coordinate system were used for the verification of the spatial data model, and ASP.NET MVC 4.7.2 Microsoft SQL Server Express 2019, jQuery 3.3.1, Bootstrap 3.4.1, Kendo UI 2019.1.220, and virtual Windows Server 2016 were used for the implementation of the physical data model. The physical data model substantiates the benefits.

Summary

Introduction

Population sheltering (PoS) can be perceived from several standpoints [1,2]. The first “classic” standpoint is given by historical developments in the territory of the CzechRepublic (CR). Population sheltering (PoS) can be perceived from several standpoints [1,2]. The glossary for population sheltering, environmental security, and national defense prepared by the Ministry of the Interior of the CR states the following [3]:. “The PoS is the use of shelters and other suitable premises in order to protect population against effects of luminous and heat radiation, penetrating radiation, contamination by radioactive dust, chemical or biological substances and against blast effects of weapons of mass destruction. For these purposes, the improvised and permanent shelters are used.”. The General Directorate of the Fire Rescue Service of the CR defines the population sheltering in its glossary within the context of Executive Regulation No 380/2002 as follows [4]: Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
