At SEBİZA Teknoloji, we use our engineering knowledge, software infrastructure and disaster technology capabilities not only in commercial projects but also for the public good, building safety, disaster risk reduction and greater community resilience.
In this context, we value developing joint social responsibility projects with public institutions, local governments, educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and other organizations that create social benefit.
For projects deemed suitable, we can provide certain technology, software and consultancy services free of charge, within the framework of mutual agreement and the necessary protocols.
Our Approach to Social Responsibility
We do not limit our social responsibility work to a single support model. We can develop different collaboration models according to the institution's needs, the project's social impact and its technical requirements.
Consultancy
We can provide technical and strategic consultancy for public-interest work in areas such as disaster risk reduction, building safety, building inventory, structural health monitoring, risk prioritization and disaster technologies.
Strategy Development
We can support the development of disaster risk reduction and building safety strategies so that institutions can understand their existing building stock, identify their risks, set their priorities and direct their resources to the right areas.
Software and Technology Support
Within suitable social responsibility projects, we can make some of the software and technology infrastructure we have developed available to institutions free of charge. One of the most important examples of this approach is the BİNAIQ® platform.
Quality Building Inventory with BİNAIQ®
Knowing your buildings is the first step in reducing risk.
BİNAIQ® is a building data and decision support platform that we have developed not only to record structures, but also to collect and manage different technical data over time under the same building identity.
The platform's main purpose is to enable institutions to answer the following questions:
- Which buildings do we have?
- What are the characteristics and current condition of these buildings?
- Which of them should we examine more closely?
- Which buildings should we direct our resources to first?
- What steps should we take to reduce risks?
This approach makes BİNAIQ® not just a software product, but a social responsibility tool developed for cities and institutions that are more resilient to disasters.
BİNAIQ® Collaboration with Public Institutions
Under suitable protocols with public institutions and organizations, we can provide consultancy and software support in the following areas:
- Building a building inventory
- Collecting building information to defined standards
- Organizing existing data
- Managing building information digitally
- Establishing an institutional data structure
- Preparing the infrastructure for comparing and prioritizing buildings
In suitable social responsibility projects, we can make certain usage models of BİNAIQ® available to institutions without charging any license or usage fee.
Our aim here is not to provide a commercial software license, but to help establish a high-quality, sustainable data infrastructure that enables institutions to understand their own building stock and lays the foundation for future risk reduction work.
Structural Health Monitoring Support for Critical Structures
Because of their social importance, purpose of use or post-disaster function, continuous monitoring of some structures can be of particular importance. Within suitable social responsibility projects, we can develop collaborations to apply our structural health monitoring technologies to critical or specially significant structures. In such projects, our aims are:
- Monitoring the behavior of the structure
- Building long-term data
- Expanding the use of structural health monitoring technologies
- Creating exemplary applications
- Raising awareness of disaster technologies
Technical and Strategic Consultancy Support
Within our areas of expertise, we can provide technical and strategic support for the socially beneficial work of public institutions and non-governmental organizations. This work can be carried out in the following areas:
- Disaster risk reduction
- Building and seismic safety
- Structural health monitoring
- Building inventory
- Disaster technologies
- Institutional data management
- Technical strategy development
How Do We Select Social Responsibility Projects?
Support provided under social responsibility is assessed separately from SEBİZA's commercial services, and each project is considered on its own terms. In evaluating projects, we particularly take the following criteria into account:
- It serves the public interest
- It contributes to disaster risk reduction
- It produces a meaningful outcome for building safety or community resilience
- It is technically feasible
- A clear collaboration model can be established between the institutions
- The resulting output is sustainable
The scope, duration and technical content of the social responsibility support and the responsibilities of the parties are determined together with the relevant institution and, where necessary, defined in a protocol.
Let's Create Social Value Together.
At SEBİZA, we believe that engineering knowledge and technology carry a responsibility toward society. That is why we are open to working with institutions on projects that serve the public interest, reduce disaster risks and aim to create safer living spaces.
We share our knowledge, turn our technology into social benefit and work together for a more resilient future.
