The Situation of Combined Disasters Caused by Climate Change: Antalya

Abstract

There are often negative and difficult-to-manage natural disasters that leave permanent effects and traces in the natural and built environment. While the proportion of people living in cities is expected to increase to 66% in 2050, considering that disasters caused by climate change will increase rapidly, the probability of simultaneous/simultaneous occurrence of multiple hazards is high. It is an inevitable fact that combined disasters (earthquake, pandemic, flood, storm, etc.) will occur more and disasters will occur especially in coastal cities. The aim of this study is to determine the combined (simultaneous/simultaneous level) situations of disasters caused by climate change in Antalya in 2012-2021 with content analysis method and to draw attention to the importance of combined / multiple hazard risk management before disasters occur.
