Our case study focuses on the devastating fire that took place in July 2018 in the second-housing area of Mati, East Attica. In this research, we propose a simple and effective approach that combines the deformation trend obtained from the Permanent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) analysis with the burn severity assessment aiming to identify and classify potential ground-burn hazard zones. To maximize the number of measuring points, we employ a weighted full-graph PSI approach. Additionally, we calculate the burn severity by comparing Sentinel-2 satellite images captured before and after the event. The resulting datasets are reclassified on a scale from 1 to 5, and the proposed equation yields the final product. Numerous high and very high hazard zones have been identified using this methodology. The research findings reveal the proximity between these hazard zones and the stream network. Overall, the proposed method offers valuable insights for the post-fire monitoring and management of urban and peri-urban landscapes in the affected areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15184598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,19]],"date-time":"2023-09-19T23:17:20Z","timestamp":1695165440000},"page":"4598","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Multi-Temporal PSI Analysis and Burn Severity Combination to Determine Ground-Burned Hazard Zones"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3730-7279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasilis","family":"Letsios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Spatial Analysis, GIS and Thematic Mapping Laboratory, Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, 38334 Volos, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5260-8232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Faraslis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Thessaly, 41222 Larisa, Greece"}]},{"given":"Demetris","family":"Stathakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spatial Analysis, GIS and Thematic Mapping Laboratory, Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, 38334 Volos, Greece"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1080\/17535069.2015.1125940","article-title":"Evaluating the Land Use Patterns of Medium-Sized Hellenic Cities","volume":"9","author":"Tsilimigkas","year":"2016","journal-title":"Urban Res.
