Recipient of the PhD Scholarship 2021 finished PhD
December, 2022
Dogus Guler, Recipient of the PhD Scholarship 2021, finished his PhD
at the Geomatics Engineering Department of Instanbul Technical
University, Türkiye.
In August 2022 Dogus Guler finalized his PhD from the Geomatics
Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University, Türkiye. He was
awarded the PhD Scholarship, provided by the FIG Foundation, which he
used for a research visit to Delft University of Technology. After
submitting a Peer Review Paper for the FIG Congress 2022 in Warsaw, the
scholarship was extended with a grant to attend Congress where Dogus
Guler presented his research results.
Summary for FIG Foundation PhD Scholarship, by Dogus Guler
I would like to start by thanking the FIG Foundation for awarding me
the precious PhD Scholarship in 2021.
My name is Dogus Guler and I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees
from the Geomatics Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical
University, Türkiye. In August 2022, I completed my PhD in the same
department under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tahsin Yomralioglu.
I have been working as a research & teaching assistant in the
department for almost five years. My PhD topic is mainly related to the
tripartite cycle aiming to enable the digital building permit issuing,
updating the three-dimensional (3D) city database, and 3D registration
of ownership rights in the multi-layered buildings through the efficient
reuse of the digital data belonging to the buildings. In the context of
the tripartite cycle, it is proposed to use the Building Information
Modeling (BIM)-based models of the buildings as the digital data since
BIM enables to model digitally the buildings by providing a wide range
of both physical objects and enriched semantics. It is important to note
that the usage of BIM is gaining growing interest in various industries
and sectors such as Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)
and land administration. As mentioned, one part of the proposed cycle
contains the Dogus of condominium rights by benefiting from as-built
BIM models (BIMs) of the buildings that are obtained after the occupancy
permit process. This is a highly important and timely topic because the
use of two-dimensional (2D) data might be insufficient to unambiguously
delineate the ownership rights with their physical counterparts in the
complex buildings in the built environment. This part specifically
focuses on the combination of two International Standardization
Organization (ISO) standards namely Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)
and the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM).
Thanks to the scholarship, I had a chance to do a short research
visit on the mentioned part at the Delft University of Technology (TU
Delft) and work with Prof. Dr. Peter van Oosterom. I would like to also
thank the professor for having me as a visitor and for the fruitful
discussions. Within the research visit, the model that extends the IFC
schema by referencing LADM is provided with the aim of representing the
condominium rights as 3D in Türkiye. The applicability of this model is
demonstrated in terms of different cases regarding the condominium
rights in the buildings through a BIM/IFC model of a building. The
provided model and demonstrations in the research are expected to
contribute to both efficient 3D Land Administration System (LAS)
transition and increasing interrelation between the AEC industry and
land administration sectors in Türkiye for mutual benefit.
As a result of the research visit, we jointly published a journal
paper in Geocarto International and a conference paper presented at the
FIG Congress 2022. I had also a chance to present our peer-reviewed
paper at the FIG Congress 2022 thanks to the additional fund within the
scholarship. It was a great experience as we exchanged ideas with many
colleagues. All publications where the scholarship is acknowledged can
be seen below. Lastly, I would like to state that this scholarship
provided great motivation for both my doctoral studies and further
research.
