Abstract

Recent advances in satellite data sharing have enabled active research in observing regional or inaccessible areas, providing cost-effective maintenance solutions. This study examines the impact of building underground structures on the ground surface using satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Displacements, such as ground surface subsidence due to underground excavation, are identified using time series analysis. The results of this study can be applied to minimize the negative impacts of large and neglected landfill facilities on surrounding vegetation. It is necessary to select analysis tools to minimize costs and acquire reliable satellite data. Further research is required to develop guidelines for addressing the specific conditions of different landfill facilities. Ultimately, this research can enhance the safety of and reduce environmental pollution at landfill facilities.
