It describes how the provision of a real-time and high-resolution imagery of the remote areas of San José de Chamanga might assist in defining its urban form, map places that today are not accessible and document the local built heritage. Following this logic, the study argues that the mapped data could become a pivotal tool to the creation of an urban/ architectural construction manual that has a dual role: on the one hand, it could provide locals with guides and standards during self-construction, assisted self-construction, and construction with technical assistance. On the other hand, it reveals architectural and urban elements of the researched area.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/620–6282nd International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Optimization 2019Intelligent Computing and Optimization Porreca Riccardo Geropanta Vasiliki Γεροπαντα Βασιλικη Barberá Ricardo Moya Rocchio Daniele Springer Nature Drone technology ICT Urban morphology Post-disaster Data repository for 2016 Ecuador earthquake
