Earthquake and Evacuation Area Assessment for Istanbul Avcılar District

Abstract

In this study, available open areas are evaluated as an evacuation area in the İstanbul Avcılar district for earthquake. Even though the buildings are not collapsed due to earthquake, it is necessary safe evacuation area in the settlement for after earthquake. Such as parks playgrounds, sport areas and similar open areas in the settlement can also be used as evacuation area for disaster at neigbourhood level. Location in the settlement, using type, size, environmental risk conditions, infrastructure features and accessibility of such as areas is important for ability for disaster evacuation area. In this study, Istanbul Avcılar district is selected for case study area where high damaged was occurred in 1999 Marmara earthquake. In the assessment, Avcılar District disaster information system data, zoning plan, aerial photographs and on-site survey data are used at neighborhood level. According to the results from the study, there is need for capacity improvement in areas which are expected to be used as open evacuation area in case of an earthquake on a neigbourhood level in the district of Avcılar.
